Dr. Brian Ernest Drew DDS's Expert Contributions
Do they put you to sleep for dental implants?
Usually is not necessary. Process is simpler than a tooth being pulled. But going to sleep is an option with some offices, but can be quite expensive READ MORE
Does a water flosser whiten teeth?
No READ MORE
Can you remove tartar yourself?
That generally requires sharp instruments under your gum tissue, so not advised. But there are patients that try. READ MORE
How can I remove calculus from my teeth at home?
You can't really. It takes a sharp instrument getting under the gums and you will tear your gums up. READ MORE
What is the best mouthwash to use for periodontal disease?
Listerine, or Diluted hydrogen peroxide at about 1.5% READ MORE
How does a dentist remove a tooth broken at the gum line?
Depends on what tooth it is and how long it has been broken off. Usually it's not much more difficult than any other tooth. READ MORE
What type of Invisalign is best?
There are too many different types of "Invisalign" treatments to answer your question. Find an orthodontist and they can point you in the right direction. READ MORE
Is it normal for teeth to move a little?
Yes, but it can also be a sign of problems such as bone loss READ MORE
How long should I rinse my mouth with salt water after tooth extraction?
Just a day or two if you want, but you don’t have to. Don’t swish too hard and wash the blood clot out of the socket READ MORE
Do pits in teeth need to be filled?
Not necessarily, but they can be more prone to becoming decay. A sealant may be a good option. READ MORE
Can flossing prevent the coronavirus?
I would say flossing will not prevent the coronavirus READ MORE
Which is better porcelain or zirconia bridge?
I would say zirconia in most circumstances. But I would also say that the bridge is generally not the best treatment, especially at such a young age. An implant is much more sound and durable long term. A periodontist is the best person to place the implant, in my opinion READ MORE
Is it bad to have a gap between your teeth?
No, if it has always been there. If something is changing then that may be a sign of a problem READ MORE
Why does my tooth hurt after a deep filling?
A deep filling would by nature mean close to the nerve. So this is an irritation to the nerve that has to settle down. Sometimes it won’t settle down and would need a root canal which is expensive or to extract the tooth, but replacement options are also expensive READ MORE
How long does it take for your jaw bone to heal after extraction?
There are really too many variables to answer. But should be able to function normal after a few days READ MORE
How do I get rid of deep stains on my front teeth?
That will require professional whitening probably. You could try crest white strips that you can buy in the drugstore READ MORE
Does Listerine kill gingivitis?
It can improve gingivitis, and regular brushing and flossing. Hydrogen peroxide diluted 50% w water is also a good mouth rinse. Most important, need to see the dental hygienist and get your teeth cleaned once we get past the virus shut down READ MORE
Which is better dentures or dental implants?
implants can be used to support a denture, but implants are very expensive. Implants for each individual tooth would be even more expensive. For most patients, have the teeth taken out, place the denture, and then the denture can be used to transition to implants, if needed. READ MORE
How long do partial dentures last?
Average is around 20 years READ MORE
Is it normal to have pain after a tooth implant?
Yes. Severe pain probably needs to be evaluated by your dentist that placed it READ MORE
