  • Lump on tongue

    It is likely not cancer given your age of 18. However, you should come into the office or that of another dentist to have it evaluated. Most likely it is just due to trauma and a reactive fibroma which can either be left alone or surgically removed by an oral surgeon. The most common locations for oral cancer to be found are on the floor of the mouth and the sides of the tongue. READ MORE

  • Can you get a full mouth of veneers?

    Yes but typically a full mouth of veneers involves 10 upper veneers and 10 lower veneers. They are not routinely placed on the molars. READ MORE

  • How long does pain usually last after wisdom tooth extraction?

    Post-operative pain is expected to last anywhere from 2-14 days. Every patient's experience will be different depending on the condition and position of the teeth removed, as well as the health of the patient. If post-operative pain gets worse after 3-4 days, then you may have a dry socket and should return to the dental office for further evaluation. READ MORE

  • What is the fix for loose dentures?

    The best solution is to have implants placed to lock the dentures in place. They are easy to connect and are similar to a snap on a shirt or pair of pants. If implants are out of your budget, then a reline (adding hard or soft material to the underside of the denture) is the next best option. Lastly, you can always try over-the-counter denture adhesives such as Poligrip or Fixodent to provide a bit of extra retention. READ MORE

  • Is an electric toothbrush good for gums?

    Definitely. Most studies show an electric toothbrush removes significantly more plaque and prevents more tartar buildup than using a manual toothbrush. READ MORE

  • How long does it take for implants to fuse to the bone?

    The typical healing time for osseointegration is between 3 and 4 months, but it can take up to 6 months depending on the situation and recommendation from your surgeon. READ MORE

  • How can I treat an infected tooth without a root canal?

    Infections could potentially be treated with antibiotics, periodontal treatment, or a combination of both. If the nerve of the tooth is truly infected to the point of necrosis or irreversible pulpitis, the only treatment options are a root canal or extraction. READ MORE

  • Can I use chlorhexidine after implant?

    Yes, you sure can. In fact, chlorhexidine will help reduce the amount of oral bacteria present which will ultimately result in better healing of the dental implant. READ MORE

  • Should I take pain medicine before dental implant?

    There is no need for pre-operative pain medication. However, depending on your medical history, taking Tylenol and/or ibuprofen may help alleviate some post-operative discomfort. Typically, the procedure to place a dental implant causes significantly less soreness than having the tooth extracted. READ MORE

  • How long does it take for gums to heal after a root canal procedure?

    Typically after a root canal, the tooth and gums will be sore for 2-3 days. However, in certain cases with a lot of infection, the soreness may last up to 10 days. READ MORE
