What happens if you use whitening toothpaste every day?
There is no permanent damage that can be caused by using an over the counter whitening toothpaste every day. You will just have fewer stains on your teeth than people who aren't doing the same thing :) READ MORE
How do you get rid of yellow teeth from smoking?
The first way to get rid of the majority of the staining would be from a good dental cleaning. With our tools, we can get a good head start of that. From there, you should discuss whitening options with your dentist. READ MORE
How can I speed up the progress of my braces?
I would not recommend speeding up the progress of your braces. If you move teeth too quickly, it can cause permanent damage to the roots of the teeth. It is in fact the slow movement of teeth that allow braces to be a viable treatment option. READ MORE
Why does Invisalign hurt my teeth?
Invisalign, like all braces, are designed to put pressure on teeth to get the desired tooth movement. Every time you put in a new aligner, there is a different pressure, forcing your teeth into new positions. This pressure causes inflammation of the tooth. It is in fact that inflammation that jumpstarts the process in your body to allow the tooth to move. With each new aligner, you can expect to have sore teeth for a couple of days. READ MORE
What happens if you don't floss often?
If you do not floss often, you will have more plaque and bacteria hanging around on your teeth. When this happens, you will be more prone to gum disease and cavity formation. READ MORE
How do you close a gap in your teeth without orthodontics?
The only way to close a gap without braces is either through bonding or veneers. You will want to discuss these options with your dentist since there are pros and cons to all treatment options. READ MORE
What is the best option for replacing missing teeth?
There are traditionally 3 options for replacing a missing tooth: 1) dental implant 2) bridge 3) removable partial denture. In most cases, the dental implant is the most ideal treatment option because it does not affect any of the surrounding teeth and is easy to clean. This is also the most expensive option, and you have to be willing to commit to a 6+ month treatment plan. The bridge can be a great cosmetic option also, but does remove the outer enamel from the adjacent teeth. Those teeth over time may be more prone to getting cavities, and like all dental work, the bridge will need to be redone at some point. You also have to be committed to cleaning under the bridge. The upside is that it is a good looking option that stays cemented in your mouth and can generally be completed within 3 weeks. A removable partial denture is like a retainer with a tooth on it. It comes in and out. This is the most affordable option. If you are needing to save money for an implant, or need something to fill in the space while your implant is healing, this can be a great option. READ MORE
How long does it take to pull a front tooth?
Depends on the front tooth It can be anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. An extraction is usually faster if there is significant bone loss, periodontal disease, and if the tooth is fully intact and does not have significant decay. If a tooth has good bone levels, it will always make the extraction longer. If a tooth is broken off at the gum line or has large decay and is at high risk of breaking during the extraction, it will take longer. The good news is that front teeth only have 1 root and are ice-cream-cone shaped, so they are always faster to get out than a molar. READ MORE
Is it normal for gums to hurt after root canal?
Yes, especially if the dentist that performed the root canal used a rubber dam (the slipper thing that covered your whole mouth for better isolation). The only way to secure the rubber dam is with a clamp around your tooth, which usually results in sore gums for a couple of days after the procedure. If there are no contraindications, you can take tylenol or ibuprofen as needed and follow with a warm salt water rinse to help reduce the inflammation in the area. READ MORE
What foods protect enamel?
Nuts, cheese, and other foods high in arginine (like shrimp). All of these foods actually have remineralization properties to help prevent cavities and heal small cavities that have not reached the inside surface of the tooth yet. If you are looking to also safeguard your teeth from cavity formation, I recommend avoiding highly processed foods and sticking to more of a raw diet that is low in acid. READ MORE
Can I drink soda a week after tooth extraction?
Yes! You can drink soda the same day as an extraction if you like. The only thing to be mindful of is the carbonation (bubbles) might sting the extraction site a little. I would recommend taking a small sip and see how it goes. READ MORE
What can I eat with dry socket?
There is no specific diet. Dry socket is extremely painful, so I would recommend sticking to a soft food diet just to minimize the movement of your mouth. Items like mashed potatoes and soup are a good go to. READ MORE
How do you floss after getting braces?
You are right, flossing with braces is super difficult! If you want to floss, you can have your orthodontist give you floss threaders, which help pass the floss through the teeth to floss. This is time intensive but does the job. My other recommendation would be to invest in a Waterpik. READ MORE
Is it bad to drink water after brushing your teeth?
In general, it is best not to drink anything for 20-30 minutes after oral hygiene to allow the fluoride from your toothpaste to work like a medicine. However, drinking water after brushing your teeth is not "bad." It simply washes more of the toothpaste off the teeth. READ MORE
Can I use mouthwash 1 week after extraction?
Yes! I would stick to a zero alcohol mouthwash to prevent any burning sensation around the extraction site. Until the extraction site is fully healed, just gently swish the mouthwash and then let the liquid "fall" out of your mouth. No forceful swishing or spitting. READ MORE
How long will jaw hurt after tooth extraction?
Pain from a dental extraction lasts for at least 5 days. The worst pain is usually on day 2-3. If there was bone that was removed with the tooth extraction, the healing process can be longer. READ MORE
How long does dental bone graft take to heal?
This can be dependent upon the type of bone grafting that was completed. However, the majority of dental bone grafts take 4-6 months to fully heal and integrate. READ MORE
When can I stop rinsing with salt water after tooth extraction?
Salt water is a great tool after tooth extraction to help shrink the inflamed gums. Make sure not to forcefully spit though! I always recommend to my patients continuing the salt water rinse for 1 week to help keep food out of the area where the tooth was extracted. READ MORE
Do they put you to sleep when getting braces?
No. Getting your braces put on is done while you are fully awake. No numbing agent is used. Your orthodontist may or may not have laughing gas to offer in his/her office for nervous patients. This is something that you could check on. READ MORE
Does bad taste in my mouth after a tooth extraction mean dry socket?
Dry socket usually occurs 5-7 days after an extraction and is characterized by severe, acute pain. Bad breath is more indicative of possible infection. I would follow up with your dentist as soon as possible. READ MORE
