Is it normal to have pain after a dental implant?
Not usually. Post operative pain can be expected for a day or so after surgery. You shouldn’t really be experiencing anything other than some mild discomfort, something a Tylenol could take care of. I would suggest you go back to your dentist and have him/her check the area. READ MORE
Teeth still moving post having worn retainer for a year (not consistently)
You must wear your retainer throughout your life, as over time your teeth will continue to shift. Using the retainer will greatly limit this movement. You may be a great candidate for a clear aligner therapy like Invisalign treatment to correct a small gap and minor shifting READ MORE
How do you stop a cracked tooth from hurting?
Yes! Go to another dentist for some temporary relief until your dentist returns. Don't wait. READ MORE
Can a strong immune system reduce my risk of gum disease?
In some ways yes. Patients who have a history of gum disease in their family may contain a gene that makes you more vulnerable to the deleterious effects of gum disease. The severity of gum disease is greatly affected by the patient's immune response to the bacteria present. READ MORE

If I have mild tooth pain, should I be going to the dentist?
Yes, you should absolutely see your dentist. This symptom may be an indication of a cracked tooth or decay. The sooner you address the issue, the least complicated the solution will be. If you wait and it becomes a serious issue, the treatment would be more expensive and extensive. READ MORE
I wear dentures. My gums are aching! What can I do?
Visit your dentist. You may be in need of a denture reline. If you are, this could relieve an ill-fitting denture. READ MORE
Is root canal the only way to treat a tooth cavity?
If the cavity is so deep that it extends into the nerve tissue of the tooth, then a root canal would be required. If you didn't want to go through with the root canal, a possible alternative would be to extract the tooth and replace it with a single implant crown. READ MORE
Do teeth get affected during pregnancy?
Yes, pregnancy can result in a change that you can see in your mouth. Usually, due to the increase in pregnancy hormones, some women may experience an increase in gum inflammation. This would appear as puffy, dark red or purplish gum tissue that bleeds rather easily. More frequent professional hygiene appointments with your dental hygienist would be a step in the right direction in order to minimize the pregnancy effects on the gums. READ MORE
When can I get braces?
It depends on how old you are. I would recommend going to an orthodontist for a consultation to see if you would be a good candidate for ortho treatment. In many instances, orthodontic treatment is started when baby teeth are still present. READ MORE
