How can I make my tooth extraction heal faster?

No smoking or drinking through a straw. Eating soft foods, taking antibiotics.

A root canal or extraction would be needed.

Why are dentures so messy?

Dentures aren’t messy. You brush them just like you brush your teeth.

Which braces are best metal or ceramic?

Metal or ceramic are only the colors; they both do the same thing!

What is the treatment for inflamed gums?

Depends on what the cause is. A dentist would help determine the cause and treatment needed.

What can I take for my tooth pain?

Any pain medication you normally take

Can a root canal damage nearby teeth?

Anything is possible but it is highly unlikely.

How long does a dental bridge last?

It lasts as long as you keep it clean and healthy.

How should I sleep with wisdom tooth pain?

Not really much. Need to have them examined and pulled.

How do you relieve tight braces?

Nothing. It will get better. Take some pain medication.

Why do my gums bleed for no reason?

Most times, brushing and flossing aren't enough to keep gums healthy. A dental visit is needed at least twice a year, sometimes more. Bleeding is a sign of disease.
