Is drinking apple cider vinegar bad for your teeth?
Vinegar is a weak acid. Acid is bad for the teeth as it erodes the surface. How much you drink is not as important as clearing it from your mouth as fast as possible, as by rinsing with water afterward. You should use it as infrequently as possible. READ MORE

Would I need to take opioids after my extraction?
This should be discussed with your surgeon beforehand. However, recent research shows that the combination of 600 mg of ibuprofen + 600-1000 mg of acetaminophen is just as effective as narcotics. READ MORE
Is tooth whitening safe?
OTC whitening rarely causes problems, but is usually limited in effectiveness. You can discuss more effective options with your dentist. Whitening does not harm enamel as long as it is supervised by your dentist. READ MORE
When is a root canal recommended?
There are a number of indications for root canal therapy. The most common ones are infection from a cavity into or near the nerve of a tooth, trauma to a front tooth, and severe grinding on back teeth. READ MORE
What are some tips for avoiding cavities?
There are several things you can do to reduce your cavity rate. Obviously brushing and flossing regularly are important. You should avoid or limit foods that are high in sugar and starch, especially if they are sticky and tend to hang around in your mouth for a long period of time. Frequent sipping of soda or juice is very destructive as the high sugar content combined with the high acid content is especially harmful. Water is the best thing to drink as it helps clear the food and moistens the mouth. Many medications can lead to dry mouth, which increases cavities. In some cases a prescription strength fluoride toothpaste can be prescribed by your dentist. READ MORE
