Does tooth sensitivity to cold mean a cavity?
Not necessarily, but is a possibility. READ MORE
Does having a filling replaced hurt?
It should not. You can be numb. READ MORE
Can you drink coffee after dental bonding?
Not a good idea for the first 48 hours after treatment READ MORE
How long after a crown is cemented can I eat?
in general one hour after. READ MORE
How many months does it take to close a gap with braces?
It depends on the amount of the space present. Spaces get closed pretty fast. READ MORE
Does a deep cavity require a root canal?
Not necessarily. If there are no symptoms of pain or troubling, I would open the tooth, clean the cavity, disinfect the tooth, if not going in the nerve by cleaning it, and fill the tooth or restore it as required. If it's too deep and too wide, you may need a crown. These days, we do not take the life away of any tooth just because it has a deep cavity....in my clinic anyway. Good luck. READ MORE
Is there a way to straighten your teeth without braces?
Hi, It depends. Do you have spaces? You may consider clear aligners in the form of Invisalign that will move teeth. It is a case selection. READ MORE
Will antibiotics kill an infection in the tooth?
Yes, partially, or at least will localize the problem to the affected root and NOT allow to spread the infection to others. The antibiotics will not cure your problem, you may need further treatment, root canal, periodontal work or even extraction; will depend. READ MORE
Can you sleep with dentures?
Will be better to sleep without it, or at least without one of them. Imagine those prosthesis like a pair of shoes; you will want the tissue to breathe, to relax a little, not to stay under constant pressure. READ MORE
How is dental calculus removed?
Hi, If it is above the gums, with sharp instruments, ultrasonic equipment. If it's beneath the gingiva, you will need to be numb and have a deep cleaning or scaling and root planning. READ MORE
What is cheaper a root canal or extraction?
In a long run, a root canal. That will be something to consider as an investment, in addition that you save one of your organs per se. You will enjoy it in chewing, in talking, in living your life. If someone will ask you to cut off your leg because it's cheaper, what will you do? READ MORE
Can a crown last a lifetime?
Hard to say. You are very young, so your life will be very long. In addition, maybe after 20 years of service, just like a car, 20 years old, people should consider upgrading or changing the restorations. The American Dental association recommends 5 years for a dental crown. READ MORE
How long does it take to get Invisalign?
Depends on the severity of your case. For everyone, it's a custom unique treatment. READ MORE
What does it mean when I tap my dental implant and it hurts?
You should see your dentist ASAP. Implants do NOT have nerves and should NOT hurt. READ MORE
When can I stop rinsing with saltwater after tooth extraction?
7-10 days after. You should NOT have high blood pressure in order to use the salt READ MORE
Is it normal for new dentures to hurt?
The dentures do not hurt, your gums do. You need to go back for adjustments. You also need to clean them very well with denture brush and soap. READ MORE
Can an infected molar cause an infection in my inner ear and balance issues?
It can. You should seek a dentist to evaluate the situation. READ MORE
Do cavities need to be filled immediately?
As soon as possible. They progress differently for everyone, it depends how strong your teeth are. In some patients, they are aggressive... READ MORE
What is the best permanent dental cement?
