  • How long after teeth removal can I get dentures?

    Without making this more complex, with a discussion of "immediate dentures", the typical complete healing time for a tooth socket of the average person is about eight weeks from the extraction day. That's when the denture work can reliably begin (ideally). Then depending on your dentists treatment protocol for dentures, that will determine how long it will take for you to actually begin wearing your dentures. READ MORE

  • Why do I feel pain with my Invisalign aligners?

    Your question about pain is a bit vague. If , for example, you're experiencing pain for the first 1-3 days due to the tightness of a new set of aligners and you are still in the early phase of your treatment, that's normal in some instances. That's the feeling of your ligaments surrounding the roots of your teeth being compressed and signaling the bone surrounding to begin to allow your teeth to actively shift. This feeling diminishes as you progress in your treatment. READ MORE

  • Will antibiotics kill an infection in the tooth?

    No. Most "tooth infections" are due to the death of tooth's nerve, it becomes non-vital. Therefore, blood circulation does not pass through this dead tissue. If bacteria get into this space they can feed off the defenseless dead tissue and create an infection (similar to gangrene). Without blood circulation into the tooth, the antibiotics (traveling through your blood system) cannot reach the bacteria. Only dental treatment, such as root canal therapy (to save the tooth) or an extraction can be reliable ways to remedy this type of infection inside your tooth. READ MORE

  • How can I remove tartar from my teeth without going to the dentist?

    Sorry, there are no safe ways to remove tartar (calculus) , once it's formed, other than having a professional dental cleaning. READ MORE

  • Can you floss a crowned tooth?

    Yes, a properly made and installed crown should withstand all proper forms of oral hygiene care (including flossing). You may have been advised not to floss around your temporary crown only. READ MORE

  • How long should you wait to drink water after getting a tooth pulled?

    Usually after any bleeding has stopped, less than 1-2 hours after the extraction. Be careful not to use a straw or swish and spit within the first 24 hours following an extraction. READ MORE

  • Can I still use mouthwash with a temporary crown?

    You can use mouthwash while wearing a temporary crown. READ MORE

  • Can sinus infections cause tooth pain?

    Yes-- I have had many patients come to me on an emergency basis for perceived tooth pain ("upper molars") only to learn that they have a sinusitis. READ MORE

  • What causes pockets around teeth?

    For most people, the primary cause is bacteria. READ MORE

  • Do fillings weaken teeth?

    No. Simply defined- a "filling" is a restorative option for sealing a hole in a tooth. There a few variable here but let me try to break it down for you... The amount of strength of the retaining walls (your tooth structure remaining) around the filling determines how "weak" a tooth might be and it's inherent risk of fracture. If the retaining walls are too thin, because the cavity (hole) was very large other restorative options should be considered. One popular option in this case would be to restore such a tooth with a device called a crown that would fit over a properly shaped tooth and actually make the tooth stronger by acting as a restorative "helmet" for the tooth. READ MORE

  • How do you know if your gums are healing after a tooth extraction?

    Generally, your healing should be fine if you experience diminishing discomfort or no pain for the first week following an extraction. However, the average extraction area will take about 8 weeks to completely heal. READ MORE

  • Can my child eat after a dental cleaning?

    Yes. If your child had a fluoride treatment, then some treatments require waiting 30 minutes before eating or drinking (typically recommended). READ MORE

  • How do you manage pain while waiting for a root canal?

    Firstly, find a dental office that does not make you wait for treatment when you are in pain. Otherwise, it depends on the diagnosis to indicate if pain medication, antibiotics or other forms of relief may help you. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Are dental hygienists still working during the coronavirus?

    There are some working but the numbers have dwindled for a few reasons related to the pandemic. READ MORE

  • Can you replace a crown with a veneer?

    No, the amount of tooth structure remaining after a crown has been installed would not be adequate to support a veneer. READ MORE

  • What causes a root canal to get infected?

    Bacteria. Generally, this occurs when the root canal pulpal tissue has died and invasive bacteria can feed off this tissue. This process is similar to gangrene. READ MORE

  • Do clear aligners hurt?

    Typically no, most patients experience a reasonable "tightness" for the first 1-3 days of wearing a new aligner. READ MORE

  • Can radiology detect an impacted tooth?

    Yes READ MORE

  • Can crowns cause gum disease?

    No, bacteria is the cause of gum disease. However, if crowns don't fit properly, leave spaces, are buried below the gum line too close to bone or are improperly contoured they can promote gum problems including gum disease. READ MORE
