Brendan O'Hara's Expert Contributions
What pressure point relieves tooth pain?
I’m not aware that that’s possible. Usually tooth pain is a result of a fracture or infection and needs intervention by a dentist. READ MORE
Do they put you to sleep for dental implants?
That's a great question for the surgeon doing the procedure. It's a very common practice, but every surgeon does it differently. READ MORE
Can you fix a crooked tooth without braces?
Depending on how crooked the tooth is, it's possible, but difficult, to make a crown that masks it. It might look or feel bulky this way, which is why most doctors recommend braces or clear aligners to fix crooked teeth. READ MORE
Is it bad to leave a loose tooth in your mouth?
Yes, it is a choking hazard. READ MORE
How do you rebuild enamel?
Unfortunately, you cannot rebuild enamel. Once it's damaged due to acid or decay, it's lost. The best way to slow the progression of enamel loss is fluoride, because it helps strengthen the enamel structure. READ MORE
Should a crown go to the gum line?
It depends on the type of material the doctor is using and why the doctor is doing the crown to begin with. In short, yes, sometimes it should go to the gum line. READ MORE
When can I stop rinsing with saltwater after tooth extraction?
I always recommend using a salt water rinse for at least 1 week after extractions. It varies depending on which tooth was taken out and how difficult it was, so if you're concerned, you can always reach out to the doctor that performed the procedure for a more exact time frame. READ MORE
Why am I bleeding after starting Invisalign?
Hi, There could be several reasons you're having bleeding after starting Invisalign. My best recommendation is to make an appointment with your orthodontist (or the dentist that is performing the Invisalign) to have them take a look. READ MORE
Do your teeth get whiter after quitting smoking?
Stopping smoking will help prevent more stain from occurring, but your teeth won't get whiter just from quitting (you'll notice a TON of other health benefits from quitting though). If you quit and use a whitening toothpaste, white strips, or professional whitening, then your teeth will get white again. The catch with whitening is that you have to keep up with it. Dark drinks (ie. wine, soda, coffee) will begin to stain them again. Most people who want bright white teeth will do a professional whitening initially, then use whitening toothpaste and "touch up" their whitening every 4-6 months with custom trays and whitening gel or white strips. Hopefully, that helps answer your question! READ MORE
