Dr. Mark Lewis Waltzer D.M.D.'s Expert Contributions
Do root canals happen more often as you age?
It's not that risk increases with age, but the older you are, the more time there is for cavities or trauma to affect the teeth. READ MORE
Is chewing gum often bad for your teeth?
As long as you are not wearing your teeth down or getting TMJ symptoms, sugar-free gum is not harmful. READ MORE
Having an abscessed tooth? What could this mean?
An abscess occurs when the nerve inside the tooth becomes infected and the infection spreads into the area surrounding the tooth. The infection may be contained by the body's immune system or spread to adjacent areas. Sometimes the abscess can be asymptomatic, but it is not a good idea to allow the infection to go untreated as there may be systemic consequences. The early signs of an abscess are swelling or pain to biting and/or hot. READ MORE
Are these crackling sounds in my ear from TMJ?
TMJ issues never really completely heal. Your dentist can evaluate you for things that may be contributing to your current TMJ issues, such as grinding or serious bite problems. READ MORE
What can I eat or avoid eating to reduce plaque?
Keep up your hygiene regimen! Avoiding sugary, sticky foods is very important, as you know. High fiber fruits and vegetables are the best snacks. Your hygienist should be able to give you tips on how to clean the areas that seem to accumulate the most debris, plaque, and calculus. Once calculus, or tartar, forms it can only be removed professionally. READ MORE
Did my dental x-rays harm my baby? (first trimester)
Since you reported that a lead apron was used, you have nothing to worry about. With today's modern X-ray machines and digital systems, there is virtually no scatter to the rest of the body anyway. READ MORE
What is a dry socket?
A dry socket (alveolar osteitis) can happen after an extraction when the blood clot in the socket is disturbed. It is not an infection and will not respond to antibiotics. It is treated by cleaning out the socket (usually with local anesthesia) and packing the socket with a special paste to relieve the pain. It may take anywhere from 3 - 5 days to resolve. READ MORE
Very swollen and red gums after routine dental cleaning
That's a pretty unusual situation. Hard to say what is happening without seeing the gums. It could be an allergy to something used the other day or a preexisting periodontal issue. You really should call your dentist immediately and ask to be seen without delay. READ MORE
I can't fix my teeth sensitivity. What do I do?
I assume you are following any instructions your dentist gave you, such as a very soft toothbrush. Your dentist should have some desensitizing medication that can be applied. READ MORE
