How often must I replace my teeth crowns?
Some crowns last forever. Some last only a few years. It depends on the crown, the remaining tooth underneath it, and homecare. The average crown in the United States lasts for about 10 years. READ MORE
Why are my wisdom teeth growing sideways?
This is due to the amount of space available for these teeth to grow in. Many people do not have adequate space for these teeth which leads to them growing in at funky angles. I would recommend seeing an oral surgeon for extraction to avoid trauma to additional teeth. READ MORE
Why are my teeth becoming loose?
I would recommend seeing a dentist for evaluation. Often times this is indicative of periodontal disease. This is not a painful disease but it does cause bone loss which leads to tooth mobility. READ MORE
What is the procedure for replacing crowns?
It is possible to replace crowns. In my office the crown is remove by cutting a small hole in the crown and leveraging it off. The prep isnthen cleaned and a new crown is fabricated. This is a relatively common procedure. It would be important to first diagnose the etiology if the pain. READ MORE
How do I prevent gum disease?
The best method of preventing gum disease is good oral hygiene techniques including brushing and flossing twice daily. READ MORE
Pain after wisdom tooth removal?
This pain typically increases on days 2 and 3 following the extractions an will then taper off over the next 7-10 days. READ MORE
Penicillin for root canal?
The root canal will remove the source of the infection and the pain. However, thebinfection that remains in the bone beyond the tooth is still present. The antibiotics are used to heal this more quickly. READ MORE
Can a missing tooth cause problems in my mouth?
It won’t cause any problems but you will lose bone with time. This decreases the possibility of implants over time. Also over years other teeth will begin to shift. Many people leave these sites alone with no problems however. READ MORE
Do I need a follow up after getting dental implants?
It is important to get follow ups. The first follow up will ensure that everything is healed as desired and the implant integrated. It is recommended that a yearly follow up be completed to monitor for infection and bone loss. These are highly recommended because when implants fail they tend to fail fast. READ MORE
What's a root canal for the front teeth like?
The procedure is exactly like it is for the back teeth however the front teeth have less canals in them so they tend to go a lot quicker. Good luck. READ MORE
Dry mouth
I recommend Biotene, all day dry mouth spray, or act dry mouth lozenges. There are prescriptions available but I do not recommend this. As for the sores he should probably visit his dentist for further evaluation. READ MORE
How long should my child be brushing their teeth?
The recommended time is 2-4 minutes. We recommend listening to their favorite song while brushing to keep track of time. READ MORE
Why do I have antibiotics after my extraction?
These are meant to prevent an infection. Whenever you expose and manipulate the bone in the jaw it is recommended to take antibiotics to prevent any serious side effects. READ MORE
What happens if I don't go for my root canal?
Although the pain in the tooth may dissipate, the source of the pain will remain. The infection will grow. This can lead to loss of the tooth and worst case scenario sepsis which may lead to the need for hospitalization and in antibiotics and could possibly end in death. READ MORE
A huge gap in dental treatment. What should I expect?
I would expect there to be a full exam. This entails usually a full series of xrays (20 single X-rays, pano of all dentition, and/or CBCT), charring, gum evaluation, and treatment plan formation. Let them know your chief complaint so that this can be addressed first. READ MORE
What medications are prescribed after a root canal?
A root canal will take care of the pain by getting the nerve out of the tooth. The bacteria that are present in the bone below the tooth remain because you do not typically reach this area with a root canal. These bacteria are now sealed in this area and the best and quickest way to rid yourself of them is to take antibiotics. READ MORE
What are the best ways to get rid of cankersores?
Unfortunately it is undergoing the healing process. You just need to give it time. Warm salt water rinses can aid in the healing process. The time required to heal will vary based on size. READ MORE
