  • How long do partials last?

    partial last as long as it takes to get implants in my office. Partials are hygiene nightmares and they destroy the teeth that they depend on for support. I would obly recommend a partial as a temporary while a bridge or implants are in the works.

    Yes, sealants prevent cavities. Isodry is a great tool to help with placing sealants in a dry field. tooth should be cleaned and polished with paste that does not contain fluoride first. etched with phosphoric acid 30 seconds to 1 min. and then sealed in the dry environment, bite must be checked. patient still has to brush and floss daily, but food, debris, and bacteria finding its way into the grooves of the teeth will be far less.

However, the only way to successfully combat the problem is see a dentist. READ MORE

  • What do I do when filling falls out?

    Pain of any kind in your mouth is crucial to have looked at by a dentist. Pain is usually an indicator that there is an underlying problem.

  • How is a bridge attached to the teeth?

    Good morning! :) A dental bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. Those two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth, and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made of gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combo of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants. The first visit usually when the Dr. will prepare the abutment teeth, which involves in recontouring the teeth by removing some enamel to allow room for the crown to be placed over them. Then they will take some impressions so they can have a model to send to the lab, which will help them make your bridge, pontic, and crowns. The dentist will then make a temporary bridge for you to wear while the lab works on the permanent one. The second visit is when they will put your permanent bridge in and see if it fits properly, and make any possible adjustments that are needed to achieve a proper fit. Sometimes multiple visits are needed to check the framework and bite, but it varies since each individual case is different. I hope I was able to cover all the concerns you had, and that you find this information was helpful. :) READ MORE

  • Do wisdom tooth abscesses take a long time to heal?

    Most abscesses require antibiotics to clear up. The usual course of antibiotics is anywhere from 7-10 days. This is not always a permanent solution to this type of dental problem. Extraction or root canal treatment is more of a long term solution to get rid of an abscess. READ MORE

  • Do I need antibiotics for a tooth extraction?

    In some cases, it is necessary to take antibiotics for a tooth extraction. If there was an infection in the tooth or if there are periodontal problems it is a good idea to take a course of antibiotics. Durning an extractions bacteria may be stirred around, antibiotics help to contain any possible infections. A usual course of antibiotics is 5-7 days. READ MORE

  • Is it possible to brush my teeth way too much?

    Yes, it is possible to over brush, sometimes over brushing can cause abrasions on a tooth. Abrasion is commonly associated with incorrect/ over brushing techniques, giving rise to notching at the junction of the crown and root of teeth. Abrasions have been known to cause sensitivity ranging from mild to extreme, especially with cold food for drinks. Abrasions are repairable by your Dentist using a filling material to fill in the notches. Using a soft toothbrush bristle is highly recommended. Over-brushing can also lead to gum recession. It is important to see your dentist a least twice a year to catch these problems early. READ MORE
