Dr. Christine Chung, DDS's Expert Contributions
What can I do for red gums my tooth?
When you have red gum around your teeth, that is a sign of gingivitis or periodontitis, which is the infection of the gum, the first has no boss loss, and the latter involves periodontal ligament and bone destruction. It is caused by bacteria buildup. I recommend you to visit your dentist as early intervention and treatment is crucial. Optimal hygiene at home is important, like flossing and rinsing with warm salt water or mouth wash on a daily basis. READ MORE

Dental cleaning?

Is a chipped tooth a dental emergency?
Hello, It is depending on the severity of a chip. A small chip is not a big concern, but a large chip/crack might lead to bigger problem like a potential nerve exposure, and pain is usually associated with it. Please contact your doctor for immediate evaluation. Thank you. READ MORE
What happens if you don't fix chipped teeth?
Hello, Not treating a chipped tooth in a timely manner will cause significant problems in future because a broken tooth is susceptible to an infection, and that will only get worse over time. A chipped tooth might not have any symptoms at the moment, but infection can get worse and compromise oral health and overall health as infection spreads. Fixing a small chip and early treatment will prevent extensive treatments. Thank you. READ MORE
Do dead teeth fall out?
Hello, Dead teeth are those that don’t have pulp tissues, however, they still have their surrounding periodontal ligaments and bone that keep them intact. They don’t fall out unless they are periodontally compromised. Therefore optimal dental care and regular dental visits are highly recommended. Thank you. READ MORE

How long does it take for a loose tooth to tighten back up?
Hi, If a tooth is loose due to severe bone loss and attachment loss with no active infection then it might not likely to tighten back up. However, if a tooth is infected with active infection and still have good bone support, the ligaments surrounding are loosen and will be tighten up after an infection is removed/cleaned out. We need to evaluate case by case. Thank you. READ MORE
At what age do children's teeth fall out?
Hello, A typical age for baby teeth to start falling out is around 6 years old, the lower two central teeth. However, I’ve seen some start as early as 5 or as late as 7. It is normal. Thank you. READ MORE
Is it normal for teeth to wiggle slightly?
Hello, It is normal and that is because of periodontal issues where teeth are involved with bone loss and attachment loss. I would recommend regular dental check up and more frequent dental appointments. Thank you. READ MORE
What does a salt water rinse do?
Hi, Salt water temporarily increases the PH balance in your mouth, creating an alkaline environment in which bacteria can not survive, because they favor a more acidic environment. Thus it helps clean bacteria in your mouth and fights infection. READ MORE
