Can an infected tooth spread the infection to the other teeth as well?
Typically infections are contained to each tooth but overtime this bacteria can also become a problem for adjacent teeth but this cannot be predicted. The only way to impart any healing is to have definitive treatment which your dentist should be able to explain when you return after taking all of the medication. Please don’t stop the medication until it is completely gone. Raymond L Wright III DDS MS READ MORE
I wear my retainer, so why are my teeth still shifting?
There is no easy solution for rebounding, which is what you are experiencing. Could be related to the skeletal position of your teeth and the original treatment plan for braces. My best advice is to return to an orthodontist for a consultation. Raymond L Wright III DDS MS READ MORE

Very swollen and red gums after routine dental cleaning
This doesn't sound like a typically course events after a routine cleaning unless you have pocketing or areas that the gingiva was loosen from the cleaning- this can happen sometimes and then patient goes to eat something with seeds, crust or any food material that can lodge itself within the gum tissue. I would return to your dentist for an evaluation after the cleaning. READ MORE
Adult tooth is loose. What should I do?
Sorry to hear about your injury. Typically after being hit, if no teeth are broken or fractured, then it is normal for teeth to loosen a bit. The gum tissue will slowly reattach. Occasionally, trauma like this can create fractures in the root and also lead to the need for a root canal in the worst case. Typically, if you see a dentist, the area can be splinted to secure the teeth from moving until all healed. My advice is to see a dentist for an evaluation. Hope this helps. READ MORE
