Dr. David Quintero, DMD, MS's Expert Contributions
  • What can I drink after dental implant surgery?

    The recommendation is anything except carbonated beverages and alcohol. Acidic drinks like orange juice can make it bur a bit but will not damage anything. READ MORE

  • What's the best toothpaste for gingivitis?

    Fluoride-based toothpaste is ideal. I would recommend Crest Gum Detoxify or Parodontax. READ MORE

  • How often should you floss dental bridge?

    The recommendation for flossing is once per day. Just like natural teeth a bridge can collect bacteria around it and needs to be cleaned. READ MORE

  • How long does it take for gums to stop hurting?

    This is a case-by-case situation. A proper diagnosis must be made to determine if it is periodontal disease, trauma, pathology, an allergic reaction, etc. please visit a periodontist for a consultation. READ MORE

  • How long is recovery from dental bone graft?

    Most often the initial healing, swelling and discomfort dissipates by 3 weeks. Full bone integrations and maturation take 4-6 months. www.QuinteroPerio.com READ MORE

  • Can I fix gingivitis at home?

    Yea, with proper brushing, flowing, and use of a mouth rinse like Listerine, gingivitis can resolve in 7 days as long as no tarter under your gums is present. www.QuinteroPerio.com READ MORE

  • Can dental implants cause high fever?

    A fever after a dental surgery is abnormal. If could indicate you have an infection or a disease before the surgery took place and is now manifesting. www.QuinteroPerio.com READ MORE

  • How long after dental implants can I eat normal food?

    Typically 3 weeks is a safe zone. Preferably stay away from super hard foods like hard candy, almonds, etc when the metal peg (healing abutment) is showing. That can be 4 months or a couple of weeks depending on when your surgeon puts it on the implant. READ MORE

  • Can I get 4 dental implants at once?

    Yes! As with anything in life, situations differ and more than 4 may be required to complete the treatment that you need. 4 implants though can be utilized to support an upper or lower set of teeth for a "smile in a day" like treatment. www.QuinteroPerio.com READ MORE

  • What can I do for bleeding gums?

    Bleeding gums are usually caused by gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) or periodontitis (inflammation of the gums and bone loss). Treatments can vary from a deep cleaning to periodontal surgery (Laser surgery - LANAP or conventional bone recontouring surgery) to enhanced home hygiene with proper brushing and flossing. Please see your local periodontist for and evaluation. www.QuinteroPerio.com READ MORE
