Why are my gums itchy and red?
Hi, It depends on the location of the area that is itchy. If it’s the back of the jaw, then it could possibly indicate that your wisdom teeth are coming through the gum. If it’s an anterior area, it could indicate a periodontal condition that needs to be evaluated by a dental professional. READ MORE
Can you get a filling without numbing?
Hi, My answer will depend on how deep the cavity is: if it is a small one, a dentist should be able to get the cavity done without any injections. I would recommend just a topical anesthetic for your comfort. Don’t forget, you are the boss in the dental chair. Having said that, you can request no anesthesia whatsoever. READ MORE
Is it possible to brush my teeth way too much?
Hi, you know the mother is always right! :-) in this case what’s important is to use proper brushing techniques and only Very Soft brush. If you have thing gums ( it’s an individual biotype) it could cause a recession with will cause a tooth abrasion that leads to tooth sensitivity and other issues that you don’t want. 4 times a day, 2 minutes each time is not too much but it depends how and what you brush with.

Can flossing causes spaces between my teeth?
Hi! The flossing improves tooth health and periodontal conditions of the gums. It cannot cause spacing. I have never recalled any spacing that was caused by flossing. READ MORE
My son grinds his teeth. What can you do to help him?
Hi! When a baby goes through transitional dentitions, meaning exfoliating baby teeth and growing adult teeth, it is absolutely normal to grind. You should not do anything to interfere with that process. If your son is grinding on all adult teeth and he is older (15 y.o), then you can get a night appliance either from a pharmacy or custom made in a dentist’s office. READ MORE
Bleeding 2 days after tooth extraction. Is it ok?
Some bleeding for 2-3 days after extraction is a normal situation after oral surgery. Very minimal bleeding is to be expected, not a Niagara Falls, but a little pink and a blood taste to be expected. READ MORE
Can my silver fillings be replaced with white fillings?
Absolutely, you can have the old metal fillings replaced with tooth colored modern materials. It’s a normal practice. READ MORE
Can I drink coffee after oral surgery?

Hi, the bleeding gums is a first sign of periodontal disease sash as gingivitis that could lead to more advanced stage of periodontal problem such as periodontitis. The cause of bleeding could be several from lack of professional cleaning, inadequate home care, bulky restorations on the teeth clenching and grinding. All of this should be evaluated by a professional. READ MORE
How long does a dental crown last?
It’s a very good question. American insurance company considers 5 is a reasonable life of a crown. I’ve seen crowns that stayed over 40 years in patient mouth. It depends on a 10,000 factors such as margins, contacts, patient home care, if a patient grinds teeth or not. READ MORE
Can you have a filling without anesthesia?
Hi! Remember you are in charge of your health including your dental health. You can opt out of any injection for any treatments however we as a dental professionals would not like to cause discomfort so it’s our responsibility to explain to our patients the amount of discomfort if any needs to be tolerated without anesthesia.

Is ridge augmentation possible at my age?
I have patients that successfully undergoing ridge augmentation at age 87, she is now 92 and heals extremely well. The most important thing is to follow all doctors recommendations ( postoperative). Smoking is detrimental for grafting. READ MORE
Can I experience pain after a tooth extraction?
It’s an individual experience that depends on your body’s response and the ability of a dental surgeon to do a perfect extraction. Normally it’s better to keep the expectation low that way you are prepared. Normally it ok to expect to have some soreness and a mild pain that should be well controlled by postoperative treatment and medications as well as pre-operative medications such as steroids and anti inflammatory. READ MORE
How many times should I floss?
As my screensaver used to say: “You only have to floss the teeth you want to keep.” The flossing has to be directed against the teeth, not the gum. Flossing twice a day would be sufficient, but if you would like to floss after every meal, that would not harm your teeth. Using orthodontic floss would be safer and more beneficial because of softer properties. Flossing 10 times a day definitely not recommended, but as I said prior, after every meal is appropriate.
