What can I eat or avoid eating to reduce plaque?
If there is still a good amount of plaque on your teeth after brushing and flossing, it means that you may not be doing it properly or long enough. If you are using a regular toothbrush, the bristles may not be touching all areas of the tooth to remove the debri. See my Youtube channel for a recommendation on the motorized brush and instructions on usage at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfrVFe37V1Y It is good that you already avoid sugary foods when possible. As a general recommendation, it's best to limit the length of time sweets and carbohydrates (that turn to sugar) are in contact with your teeth. Sticky foods are worst because they will take longer to dissolve or clear from your teeth and gums. READ MORE
What is a dry socket?
A dry socket occurs when a tooth is extracted and the blood clot where the tooth was removed (in the socket) is lost. Usually, this is very painful because the bone is exposed. To treat this, dentists typically place some medications inside of the socket until soft tissue granulates back in place to cover the bone.

I can't fix my teeth sensitivity. What do I do?
If you have been using Sensodyne for 6 months and it hasn't decreased the sensitivity, it's not likely to continue to help with your problem. You may have to return to your dentist, so he or she can run more tests to determine the cause of the sensitivity. Often, we dentists try a conservative treatment first before moving to more invasive procedures. It also helps us to rule out the cause of a dental issue by doing this. READ MORE
