How do you take care of zirconia crowns?
As you would any other tooth. Great oral hygiene that includes brushing twice a day. Flossing, water picking or proxabrushing-some thing to support brushing once per day. READ MORE
How do I get rid of the black line on my tooth?
If the black line has recently formed it is either demineralization of the enamel or a surface stain. Micro abrasion ( light sanding) can remove mild demineralization. Deeper areas can be bonded with composite filling. Stains can be professionally removed by a hygienist or dentist. If it has always been there it can be removed and bonded as well. READ MORE
How long does dental bone graft take to heal?
There are several types of bone grafts. Most materials serve as a lattice work for our own osteocytes (bone cells) to grow into. Regardless of the material it usually takes 3 months for complete bone development. READ MORE
What foods protect enamel?
Fiber-rich foods are best, especially vegetables. Many foods are acidic, contain sugar, or are carbs that break down into sugar. When we eat these, it’s very helpful to finish with water. Water helps to neutralize acids, wash away bacteria and the food particles they metabolize into acid. The sugar substitute/sweetener xylitol is a natural product that inhibits bacteria, making it a healthy choice. Also, chocolate that is high in cocoa content is healthier because it also inhibits bacteria, and these “better” chocolate products have less sugar. READ MORE
How do you get rid of a gum infection without antibiotics?
Most importantly, the gum infection requires an accurate diagnosis. If a dentist diagnoses an abscess originating from inside the tooth, then a root canal or extraction is indicated. Untreated, this can become an acute emergency. If the gum infection is mild/early gum disease, a valid therapy known as oil pulling can be affective. The technique is simple. Swish with a half oz. of almond oil for 20 minutes once per day. There are other causes of gum infection. Please see a dentist to identify the cause and appropriate care. READ MORE
