Why does my tooth hurt after a deep filling?
Unfortunately it can be normal for a tooth to hurt after a deep cavity has been removed and filled. The live pulp tissue in a tooth can become inflammed by the deepening cavity before a dentist can fix it despite not feeling any pain prior hand. As we drill, blow air, expose the tooth to chemicals like an adhesive, further inflammation can occur now causing it to hurt. The tooth will also have to adjust to having an artificial material stuffed into it. Bottom line, most fillings only hurt for a few days post op. It can last months but as long as you can bite down and pain does not linger when in contact with hot/cold, the tooth should not need a root canal. If pain does linger for 10sec or more or simply hurts on its own, it likely needs a root canal. READ MORE
Why do my teeth hurt after getting new aligners?
Your teeth hurt because the aligners are pushing hard enough on the teeth to cause inflammation in the bone that surrounds your teeth. That inflammation softens the bone, allowing your teeth to move without damaging anything. When you do it slowly, we can fix huge bite issues, so be patient while in ortho. Wiggly teeth in orthodontics is expected. READ MORE
Will I have to floss my dentures?
No floss should be necessary. Use a toothbrush and soap and water to clean your denture daily. Toothpaste is too abrasive to brush a denture with as it will become micro-scratched with time. Denture cleaning tabs can be used a few times a week for a deeper clean. Most importantly, remember to clean your mouth daily with a soft brush and/or antibacterial rinse like hydrogen peroxide 1.5% READ MORE
