  • Can you drink after jaw surgery?

    After jaw surgery your surgeon will have verbal and written instructions for post operative care. Please read and follow those instructions very carefully and always consult with your surgeon or the staff. READ MORE

  • Why do dentists drill before filling?

    They drill the rotten part of the tooth out before they replace it with the clean filling. READ MORE

  • How long does gum pain last after tooth extraction?

    Gum pain after 2 days is still normal. It takes the wound at least two weeks to two months to heal. What is important for the first week is to maintain the blood in the socket therefore please stay away from rinsing vigorously, chewing solid foods on that side of the mouth, and refrain from brushing the wound or picking out food from the socket and most importantly do not smoke for 48 hours. Hope you will feel better! You should have a post operative check up appointment with your dentist within the next two weeks. READ MORE

  • How do you get rid of tooth nerve pain fast?

    Orange or Oragel over the counter is a temporary relief. You can find them over the counter at Walgreens/CVS/Walmart. However, it is very important to visit your dentist for a possible permanent solution ASAP. READ MORE

  • Does bad taste in my mouth after a tooth extraction mean dry socket?

    Dry sockets are very painful. If that's the case, yes. Bad breath after extractions can be normal due to presence of occasional minor blood, necrotic tissue, and lack of brushing due to fear or pain. READ MORE

  • How do you floss after getting braces?

    You can find floss threader over the counter @ CVS, Walmart/ Walgreens and follow the directions on the package. Very easy. READ MORE

  • Can I use whitening toothpaste with dentures?

    No, that will not do any whitening for your denture. READ MORE

  • How long does it take for inflamed gums to heal?

    When gums hurt, it's usually due to either chronic or acute infection. It is extremely important to visit your dentist to resolve the issue, otherwise both conditions may result in complete or partial tooth loss. Chronic gum infections can temporarily improve by brushing and flossing twice a day for at least two weeks. Acute infections can temporarily resolve by antibiotics after a couple of days. READ MORE

  • Do fillings hurt without an injection?

    If the cavity is inside your dentin more than likely drilling it out will be very uncomfortable. If it is only in the enamel, it may not be painful. It all depends on what tooth it is, how young/old you are, the size of the cavity and proximity to the pulp, and your pain tolerance. Typically the younger you are, the larger the pulp, ( where the nerve is) therefore more possibility if discomfort. Most dentists do not accept to perform fillings that require a lot of drilling without injections as it can be very risky and dangerous! Any sudden movement by the patient due to pain can cause trauma/ damages to the adjacent tissues such as a tooth, the tongue and even the lips. I personally have done that and drilled a tooth for a patient without anesthetics and surprisingly he did very well! But I can't recommend that to anyone based on just one case, as pain tolerance varies between patients. READ MORE

  • What is the best treatment for receding gums?

    You may have periodontitis which could be a serious condition! Depending on where the recession is and how severe it is and how old you are the treatment varies. Best treatment is usually gum surgery and/or deep cleaning and medications. Your general dentist may refer you to a gum specialist (periodontist) for appropriate treatment. READ MORE

  • Does dry socket need antibiotics?

    Dry sockets need immediate attention and usually your dentist has dry socket paste to which almost always immediately relieves the pain. READ MORE

  • Do adults need dental sealants?

    Sealants are materials that make deep grooves in the teeth shallow, therefore, if adults have deep grooves in their teeth, then yes, it will help them keep the teeth clean. READ MORE

  • How can I fix a gap in my front teeth without braces?

    Yes, there are other ways your dentist can close gaps between teeth in certain conditions. It can be done by veneers/crowns/composite fillings. Your dentist will determine which is best for your specific situation. READ MORE

  • Can you reverse tooth decay naturally?

    Yes, in rare cases, it is possible if the decay has not passed the enamel into the dentin. Your dentist can take an xray and determine that. READ MORE

  • Will my gums grow back after implants?

    Hi, it depends where in your jaw and when the implants was done, but yes, It is possible for the gums to grow back after implants. READ MORE

  • How do you clean under an implant bridge?

    There are floss threaders over the counter you can purchase from major drugstore. We are supposed to see our dentist for a cleaning on a regular basis, every 6-12 months. Your hygienist can show you how to clean under your implant bridge as well. READ MORE

  • Do dentures make your breath smell?

    Yes they can if they are not kept clean. Like our own teeth, if we don't clean our dentures, bacteria can grow in them and can cause health issues. READ MORE

  • How long will your teeth last without brushing?

  • What can be done for missing back teeth?

    Depending on how much bone loss you have had in the area, either implants or partial dentures can be done. A consultation at the dentist with a radiograph can determine which one is best for you. READ MORE
