  • Should I go to the dentist if my gums are bleeding under my dental bridge?

    Call your dentist who placed the bridge. Obviously, any bleeding is not normal but there may have been some mild trauma when placing the bridge. If the bridge doesn't have sufficient clearance under it or you are having difficulty cleaning under the bridge, your dentist can help you take proper care of your new bridge. There are multiple hygienic tools available to prevent debris building up under the appliance. READ MORE

  • Can a tooth that has had a root canal still hurt?

    Yes. It usually will disappear. There are many reasons for this to occur such as: 1. The surrounding periodontal ligament was irritated during the detriment (obturation process) when cleaning the canals with files. 2. The filling material has protruded out the apex of tooth but will dissipate over the next few months. 3. Accessory canals. (Miro canals along the root structure that couldn't be mechanically cleaned). 4. A short filling of the endodontic material which can usually be seen on a radiograph. 5. An over extended filling beyond the apex of the tooth that presses on the periodontal ligament. Usually, all the above can be corrected if necessary. The important thing is to stay in communication with your dentist and monitor if recommended. READ MORE
