What happens if you get a cavity with braces?
This depends on the location of the cavity. If the cavity is just on the biting surface of the tooth, then it can be filled without any issue. If the cavity is between the teeth or near a bracket, you may have to have the wire or bracket removed by the orthodontist prior to your regular dentist doing the filling. READ MORE
What is the best pain reliever after a root canal?
Ibuprofen and tylenol, if you are medically cleared to take those medications. You can take a daily maximum of 2800mg of each per day. If you take ibuprofen and tylenol together, they work better together and provide the same amount of pain relief as a narcotic. READ MORE
What helps a toothache after a root canal?
This is likely due to inflammation. If you are medically allowed to take it, ibuprofen and tylenol will help. If you can take the two together, they work as well as a narcotic. READ MORE
How long do fillings last?
Tooth colored fillings generally last 10 years. The older silver fillings tend to last longer. READ MORE
What happens if you get a cavity on your wisdom teeth?
I generally recommend removing a wisdom tooth that has a cavity on it. I recommend this for a couple of reasons. Most of the time, the wisdom tooth is far enough to the back of the mouth that it is very difficult or impossible for me to do a filling that would predictably last on that tooth. Also, with it being so far in the back of your mouth, it is hard for you to keep clean. READ MORE
How long does it take for amoxicillin to work on a tooth infection?
It takes 24-26 hours for an antibiotic to reach full therapeutic dosage in the bloodstream. READ MORE
Are cavities common after braces?
Unfortunately, yes. Having any type of dental appliance in your mouth makes it more difficult to keep your teeth clean. If you have not been on your "A" game the entire time you had braces, it is very common to get a cavity. READ MORE
How much radiation do you get from dental x-rays?
Very little. The invention of the digital x-ray decreased the radiation even from what you used to get. To put it in perspective, you get more radiation eating a banana than you do from your yearly dental radiographs. READ MORE
How do you brush your teeth if your jaw is wired shut?
You brush the outside parts of your teeth. I would also recommend using a Waterpik to help blast some of the plaque off. Make sure to check with your oral surgeon if there are any other special hygiene instructions. READ MORE
Can I wait a week to fill a cavity?
Yes. Not much should change in that short amount of time. READ MORE
Can wisdom teeth cause headaches and ear pain?
Yes! Especially impacted bottom wisdom teeth. The nerve in your face is called the trigeminal nerve and it travels right in front of your ear, across your top and bottom jaws and up your temple area. If there is any infection or inflammation near any branch of this nerve, you can get referred pain and cause symptoms such as headaches and ear pain. READ MORE
How long does it take for dental bridge to settle?
Dental work does not usually "settle." If you are feeling like your bite is off, or something is not right, I would follow up with your dentist. At this point, the cement is fully hardened and the bridge will not move. READ MORE
What mouthwash is best for bleeding gums?
I would focus on a mouthwash advertised specifically for gum disease. READ MORE
How do you clean under a bridge?
I recommend either superfloss or an interdental brush. You want to get under the bridge and "sweep" under the fake tooth. READ MORE
Crown for a canine (eye) tooth?
You are correct that the majority of teeth that have had a root canal need a crown. This mostly applies to teeth in the back of your mouth or teeth in the front that had large decay and are already compromised. If your tooth died simply because of the trauma, then it likely does not need a crown. Continue to wear your occlusal splint and go to your regular dental appointments for monitoring. People can go many years with their tooth stable like that. READ MORE
How long after extraction can I get a bridge?
I recommend waiting 6 weeks. During that healing period, the bone where the tooth used to be changes and remodels. To have a well-fitting bridge that won't have a large gap and food trap under the fake tooth, it is best to wait the full 6 weeks prior to the impression. READ MORE
Why do my other teeth hurt after wisdom tooth extraction?
The teeth next to it hurt because they got bruised. To get a tooth extracted, the dentist has to exert a lot of force and pressure to expand the bone. During that process, it applies a lot of pressure on the surrounding teeth, which then in turn can be sore for a couple of days after. READ MORE
Can I use salt water as mouthwash everyday?
Yes. There is nothing damaging about salt water as long as it isn't too salty. READ MORE
How do I clean my teeth after coffee?
I recommend waiting 30 minutes after any acidic beverage before cleaning your teeth. I recommend brushing with a whitening toothpaste to help remove and prevent coffee stains. If you are out on the go, I would stick with some quick mouthwash or some xylitol gum. READ MORE
How do you brush your teeth after a root canal?
You should be able to brush normally. If your gums are swollen or slightly painful in that area, you can place your toothbrush at the gumline and sweep the toothbrush up and away from the gums to help minimize any brushing trauma to them. READ MORE
