The best medications (to date) post root canal therapy) are Antibiotics (if unresolved local infection- Dr. recommendation), Prednisone (anti inflammatory- per Dr. recommendation) Ibuprophen as needed. READ MORE
What level of gum recession needs treatment?
Generally, treatment IS required when the recession has extended to the ‘loose tissues’/ meaning the gum tissue that is usually firmly attached to the bone has receded to the loose (mucosal) tissues. Other reasons can be unmanageable sensitivity or purely esthetics READ MORE
Is a root canal a serious procedure?
Root Canals are usually required ecause of infection, so yes, it’s serious in that we want to eliminate infections quickly when above the shoulders! These procedures are still technically non invasive in that the treatment remains completely within the tooth! READ MORE
Can braces cause yellow teeth?
Braces can harbor plaque and other ‘stuff’ because it’s difficult to clean around them- the discoloration of enamel is mostly associated with poor hygiene - so - water pik, longer brushing time (soft brush) and non alcohol fluoride mouth rinse works wonders READ MORE
Is jaw surgery risky?
Jaw Surgery or Orthognathic surgery is much more predictable now than ever with the advent of 3D imaging capability and conservative surgical protocols. However, this is a multi specialty endeavor and everyone (surgeon, Orthodontist and General Dentist) must be on the same page and familiar with the game plan. Risk can involve unintended muscle disfunction- headaches and TMD, tooth pain and required restoration,and poss parenthesias. Either temporary or protracted . Choose your team according to their professional capability and ability to communicate with you- not to you Best of Luck READ MORE
Does taking calcium help dental bone graft?
In the healthy individual the use of supplements becomes of less value, actually most is filtered in the appropriate ways and eliminated. There is confirmed research that Calcium is absorbed and deposited on/in bone and by deduction strengthens bone. The body regulates this however and more is not always good. Vit. D is required to aid in the absorption of calcium READ MORE
Tonsillitis
If you ‘Google’ diagnosed then I’d verify status with your primary Dr. and select the proper med. regimen- if fever then no contact until 5 days after being afebrile (no fever), isolation until your sure is a rule especially if you’re working close contact and especially with kids READ MORE
How long does it take to recover from jaw surgery?
Pretty broad question but generally : tooth extraction -initially 2-3 days and up to 6 wk for bone stability: fractured jaw or orthognathic surgery - weeks to many months READ MORE
Can salt water make tooth pain go away?
Probably it’s the warm part of the warm saltwater that works- the salt part acts as a means to gently clean soft tissue wounds - remember salty like teardrops not brine READ MORE
Which toothpaste is good for teeth whitening?
Simple answer is the one you like the flavor of and use regularly- I’d like to see fluoride in it also if possible. READ MORE
Is getting Invisalign painful?
Orthodontics, regardless of how it is accomplished has discomfort associated with it, remember you’re moving teeth through bone!! Usually the discomfort is short lived (~72 hrs) and is managed well through anti inflammatory meds. - Best of Luck!! READ MORE
Can flossing cause gum pain?
Flossing too aggressively (sawing motion) can cause inflammation and in severe long term cases tooth structure loss and bone loss…so be gentle- you’re only trying to tackle the plaque. READ MORE
Can brushing too hard cause enamel damage?
The answer is no- however, those with very weak enamel (amelogenisis imperfecta) and this is rare, can have troubles with aggressive brushing habits and abrasive pastes. So, with recommended gentle circular brushing with ADA recommended pastes you’re good! READ MORE
Dental sealants
Sounds like the sealants came off already- back to your Dr. to have them put back in place! READ MORE
How do you remove a tight partial denture?
This could be a fingernail breaker but start by lifting both sides up (away from the gun tissue) at the same time. If you lift one side only the opposite side may engage more aggressively. If no luck- then back to your Dr. So they can hurt their fingernails READ MORE
Do you get anesthesia when getting braces?
Simple answer: No anesthesia needed! READ MORE
Is the surgery for receding gums successful?
This is a tough one because recession can be a result of many different conditions. More often the heavy forces of clenching / grinding result in recession and the success of surgery is supported by clenching management (appliance therapy / splint use / Night Guard use etc.) A misaligned tooth getting traumatized might need orthodontic alignment as part of surgical tissue care. Overall periodontal surgery for recession has never been more successful! READ MORE
Can I drink beer today after a filling that I had yesterday at 4pm
Absolutely, but don’t drive…Happy Thanksgiving! READ MORE
Do I need any teeth removed?
Thanks for the pic- but hard to say without more info, you’ll need to see your Dr. for a complete exam. We all usually lean on saving teeth if the prognosis is good and you’re able to, otherwise options will be discussed to see what works best for you. Be tough and get the ball rollin! READ MORE
Do your gums shrink if you don't wear your dentures?
Without teeth to retain the bone the gum tissue can change in many different ways, not wearing the denture allows these changes to occur freely and adjustments to the denture becomes more frequent. Like boots, comfort and function comes with use and adaptation. READ MORE
