  • How do cavities heal without fillings?

    If it is very small on a smooth tooth surface, it may be able to be remineralized with a toothpaste with high concentration of fluoride and minerals. If it is on the biting surface, not as effective as if the cavity is on the smooth side surface.  READ MORE

  • How long do gums take to heal after a crown?

    Depending on the procedure completed, usually soreness resolves within 72 hours. Complete healing may take up to 6 to 8 weeks. Check with your dentist if you think something is wrong with your gums.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone READ MORE

  • Can you have implants with receding gums?

    Short answer is yes. How will the crown on the implant looks may be an issue depending on how much gum and bone have receded. The location where the implant will be placed is a factor as well. As always, see your dentist for a consultation.  READ MORE

  • How do you stop a really bad toothache?

    See your dentist.  READ MORE

  • Does periodontal disease go away on its own?

    The short answer is no. See your dentist if  you suspect you have any type of gum disease. READ MORE

  • How can you tell the difference between a toothache and a sinus infection?

    If you bend forward from your waist until your upper body is parallel to the floor, a sinus infection would probably cause more pain. However, an infected tooth in the upper jaw can infect your sinus. Bottom line....see a dentist for a diagnosis.  Good luck.  READ MORE

  • How long should you wait to eat after a filling?

    It's dependent upon the type of filling material used. Always safe to wait until the numb feeling is gone. This way you will not bite your lips, tongue, or cheeks. Ask your dentist to be sure. READ MORE

  • Can I drink coffee with Invisalign?

    Not a good idea. If you must, drink through a straw. Less staining. If you can't, more frequent cleanings if you develop staining.  READ MORE

  • What happens if a broken tooth goes untreated?

    Please see a dentist to have it checked. The solution is usually less costly and easiest when it is treated earlier rather than later especially if you are not having any discomfort. If left untreated, you could be in store for pain, swelling, and ultimately, loss of the tooth. Please don't gamble; have it checked.  READ MORE

  • Do I need a root canal?

    You should see your dentist to diagnose the reason for the pain. After the source of your pain is identified, the proper treatment will be determined. But if you do need root canal treatment, your dentist will provide all the benefits as well as the risks associated with the procedure. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Can I straighten my teeth without braces?

    Usually, the answer is yes. However, there are multiple clear aligners available to achieve a satisfactory result. Please consult a dentist to determine if clear aligner therapy is an option in your specific case. Good luck. Joseph A. Battaglia, MS, DMD READ MORE

  • When can I eat hard foods after tooth extraction?

    Not usually that soon for hard foods. The socket will still be open and sore. Talk to your dentist, but my recommendation would be, enjoy the pasta station! Good luck. READ MORE

  • What is the procedure for replacing crowns?

    To answer your question – yes, you can replace crowns. However, your predicate states that the crown is causing you a lot of pain. Your dentist needs to determine the reason for and the cause of the pain. Please see your dentist as soon as possible to determine what treatment is necessary to address and relieve your pain. Good luck! Dr. Joseph A. Battaglia, MS, DMD READ MORE

  • Is it painful to have a crown put on your tooth?

    Today, almost every procedure performed by a dentist is painless.  Your dentist will administer a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding gum tissue. You may have a little soreness around your gums after the procedure but otherwise you will not experience any pain. If you do ask your dentist for additional local anesthetic. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone READ MORE

  • How do you make gingivitis go away?

    It is a good idea to have a dentist make a diagnosis for your condition. Then together you can develop a plan to address your needs. You may be able to manage some of the treatment at home without going into the office once you know what is wrong and what you need to do to get the problem under control and prevent it from happening again.  Good luck. READ MORE

  • How long does oral surgery take for wisdom teeth?
