Tooth Filling
I would make an appointment with your dentist to have it evaluated. It’s unlikely but there is a small possibility that the restoration is dislodged. Usually you would feel sensitivity and the bite would feel uneven. READ MORE
Can a gap in front teeth be fixed?
Yes a gap is rather simple to fix. There are many choices. Usually orthodontics can correct it. Crowns, veneers and composite restorations all can be used to correct gaps, depending on the situation. READ MORE
Can a loose tooth tighten back up?
A loose tooth usually means bone loss. A periodontist would be the one to see to evaluate if the tooth can be salvaged. READ MORE
What is the safest dental filling?
It really depends on how deep the cavity is and how large a surface is affected by decay. For the most part, white composite filling is the restorations of choice. It’s esthetically please and can be used in the most conservative of restoration. It is color matched to be relatively unnoticeable in the mouth. It is also safer to use than amalgam fillings which are made up partially with mercury. READ MORE
How effective are fillings for baby teeth?
Fillings in baby teeth are very effective. Even though “baby teeth” are temporary, a parent must remember that they serve a very important job as being natural space holders for permanent teeth. There are 20 baby teeth that usually take 6 years to fully exfoliate. So, a child will start losing their baby teeth at age 6 and fully complete that process by age 12. Therefore, it’s in the best interest of the child to restore decayed teeth in order to maintain oral heathy. There is also a marked difference between permanent and primary. Since primary teeth are not meant to last beyond a certain number of years they are not as strong as permanent teeth. They structurally have thinner enamel so decay can spread faster and cause pulp damage at a quicker rate than in permanent teeth. READ MORE
What are the best ways to get rid of cankersores?
Try Magic Mouthwash if there are multiple lesions. Pharmacies usually carry it, but you’ll need a prescription. The best over-the-counter remedy is using Abreva ointment. Remember to change your toothbrush once it clears up. You don’t want to unintentionally reinfect yourself. READ MORE
Do children need fillings for baby teeth?
It really depends on which tooth is hurting. Baby molars usually do not start to exfoliate until age 10. The longer a parent waits to treat cavities in baby teeth the more serious the problem can get. The best way to determine if a tooth should be fixed or allowed to exfoliate is by taking an X-ray. READ MORE
After my braces were taken off, my teeth became very sensitive.
It’s actually very common to have some sensitivity. I usually recommend using sensodyne toothpaste and avoiding cold water while drinking and brush ones teeth. If the problem continues then a visit to the dentist is definitely encouraged READ MORE
What's a root canal for the front teeth like?
Yes it is the same but much quicker and not as intensive. READ MORE
What medications are prescribed after a root canal?
It’s strongly recommended to avoid reinfection and discomfort. Antibiotic of choice is Amoxicillin. READ MORE
A huge gap in dental treatment. What should I expect?
My advice is don’t try to over analyze. I think the biggest fear in dentistry is the fear of the unknown. A good cleaning is what you should expect. About dental neglect as much as possible. READ MORE
Should I go get my root canal done by a specialist?
Many general dentist do root canals treatments. It’s part of their training in dental school. If your dentist is experienced then there really shouldn’t be a problem. Specialists are recommended if there is a complication READ MORE
Can dentists treat sleep apnea?
YES, YES, YES!! READ MORE
How often should my daughter get her braces tightened?
All depends on her orthodontist. Generally braces are tightened on a monthly basis. READ MORE
What are the symptoms of a dental issue?
Pain, sensitivity to hot and cold, bleeding gums. Then the silent problem: decay. Unless its in dentin there is no symptom. Also depending on a person’s pain threshold, some people are not sensitive to obvious dental problems that normally cause discomfort. READ MORE
I never grew out of my buck teeth. What should I do?
You are never too old to fix your smile. READ MORE
One of my molars is severely worn down. Can this be repaired?
First get your bite corrected. That means a trip to the orthodontist. Then correct your worn down molar. The problem will only get worse with age. READ MORE
Can my abscess go away on its own?
It may, but it will return. Need to see a dentist ASAP. READ MORE
Why do I have sensitivity in all my lower teeth?
There are many reasons for this to happen. A proper diagnosis can only be made by a dentist by doing a clinical exam with xrays. Make the call. In the mean time avoid cold food and drink. Brush with warm water. READ MORE
Can a cavity spread to the next tooth?
It’s been known to happen READ MORE
