  • Can flossing cause gum pain?

    yes it can hurt the gums. What needs to be done is pull the floss toward each tooth seperatly. The gums will hurt if you don't pull the floss towards the tooth. You need to go under the gums not cut the gums. READ MORE

  • How can I fix moving partial dentures?

    Get it relined. As your bone melts away all partials in a year or two. READ MORE

  • How can I make my partial dentures more comfortable?

    Get implants. Partial dentures normally have clasps that keep the denture off the tissue. If the denture is rubbing on the tissue, it will need an adjustment by a dentist. I always recommend implants, because the full or partial denture can be attached to a few implants and fit much better without rubbing on the tissue. READ MORE

  • When can I chew on my dental implant?

    It depends on how well the implant has integrated into the bone. If the implant was placed and did not have a crown on it, and you waited 3-4 months to place the crown, you can most likely chew on it right away. But if a crown was placed when the implant was placed, it will vary to how tight the implant was in the bone at the time of placement. If the torque was 35 cm or greater, you could probably chew soft foods, but don't open any beer bottles with it. READ MORE

  • How should I sleep with tooth pain?

    You normally don't sleep with tooth pain. Go see a dentist. Or take some pain meds. READ MORE

  • Can you replace dentures with implants?

    Yes, if you have enough bone remaining to hold the implants. It's a very good alternative to dentures. You can also stabilize your denture with just a few implants, instead of a whole mouth of implants. READ MORE

  • How long does dental local anesthesia last?

    It varies from patient to patient and the type of anesthetic used. The average is about 2 1/2 hours. If anesthetic with epinephrine was used, such as marcaine, it could last up to six hours depending how much was used. READ MORE

  • How do you relieve tooth pain after an implant is placed?

    Normally, there is not much pain on placement of implants unless a lot of tissue was involved during the implant placement. There is no nerve in the bone where the implants should be placedThere are some major nerves in the bone, but these should be avoided during implant placement. If the tissue was reflected and had to be moved, that can cause pain. Most oral nerve pain during implant placement comes from the tissue, which has a lot of nerve inervation, not the bone. If you have pain anti-inflammatories will, also may help with 5 minutes on and 15 minutes off for the first 3 hours. More severe pain will require a prescription medication such as Norco 10/325 mg every 4-6 hours. READ MORE

  • Can teeth fall out from Invisalign?

    I guess it's possible if X-rays were not taken before treatment. If the tooth had very little bone support moving, it could cause it to fall out. This is why a proper work-up and exam, including X-rays should be completed before any treatment begins. Teeth also loosen during ortho treatment. The Invisalign tray keeps the tooth in place. If during treatment the tray was removed and hard chewing was done, it could possibly fall out. READ MORE

  • Does baking soda whiten bonded teeth?

    Not really. Hydrogen peroxide whitens teeth, but if you brush with baking soda, you will clean the teeth, which will make them look better, but not really whiten them. READ MORE

  • What are the symptoms of an infected root canal?

    Usually pain and swelling. Sometimes a bad smell. It may be painful to eat or touch. If infected, antibiotics and pain medication will be required. Sometimes retreatment is required. READ MORE

  • How do you get a loose tooth out that won't come out?

    It's best to see a dentist and have an X-ray taken to see the roots and what is holding the tooth from coming out. Depending on what the X-ray shows will determine what is needed to remove the tooth. READ MORE

  • How does smoking affect oral surgery?

    Smoking is like cooking your mouth. When you cook a roast its called convection heating which means hot air. So if you smoke its like putting your mouth in an oven.This is not what you should do after surgery, or ever. READ MORE

  • Can a tooth with a root canal hurt years later?

    Yes. If it never stopped hurting there may be a small portion of nerve still in the tooth. This is called a lateral canal which are normally very small and can be easily missed. If the tooth didn't hurt after the root canal and started hurting much later, the tooth may be fractured. root canalled teeth become more brittle than non root canalled teeth since the have no blood supply or fluids to keep it from getting brittle. READ MORE

  • How long does swelling last after dental implants?

    Swelling on dental implants only occurs when the gum tissues is affected. The bone doesn't swell. If there is a lot of bleeding you may have swelling. Ice should be applied for 5 minutes on and 10 minutes off for the first 3 hours after surgery. The swelling may last 24 to 48 hrs. Without seeing the situation its difficult to tell. READ MORE

  • How painful is a dental implant?

    Dental implants are not normally very painful if there is little gum tissue involvement. If the gum tissue has to be reflected to place the implant it can cause some discomfort. The less tissue involvement the less pain or discomfort. There are no nerves in the bone except major nerves very deep and implants should not be placed in that area, ever. READ MORE

  • How can I make my dental implant heal faster?

    Dental implants heal much better if they are not disturbed after placement for the first two weeks to a month. The area of the mouth also determines how fast an implant will take to integrate into the bone. The upper jaw bone is not as dense as the lower jaw bone and takes normally a month or two longer to integrate. . Also how stable the implant is at placement also determines how long it will take for the implant to properly integrate into the bone. Not smoking is very important also. . READ MORE

  • Can you eat nuts with dental implants?

    Yes, you can eat nuts when the implant is integrated into the bone. This normally takes four to six months. READ MORE

  • What happens if you smoke after getting dental implants?

    Nothing good. You are cooking your mouth with hot air. Tats how you cook a roast. The tissue and bone will not heal very well if at all. It is best not to smoke after implant placement.for at least 3 weeks to a month, if at all. READ MORE

  • Is there an alternative to gum grafting?

    Yes there is. You can have your blood draw and centrifuge down to get the fibrin. This can be flattened out and sewn into the other tissues. This would eliminate the need to take a graft from the roof of your mouth. READ MORE
