Can you whiten dentures with hydrogen peroxide?
No READ MORE
Can I get a bridge without a root canal?
Yes. Root canals are done to clean the infection out of the innermost layer of teeth where the nerve and blood vessels live. Bridges are done to help replace missing teeth when there are other teeth nearby that can be used as anchors. Like a "bridge" over a river that is anchored to land on both sides. Some teeth that are used as anchors may already have or need root canal treatment, but it is not required if not needed. READ MORE
Can a regular dentist do a root canal?
Yes READ MORE
How do you clean badly stained dentures?
Soak overnight in straight, undiluted white vinegar. The next morning, scrub well with Dawn dish washing liquid using a stiffer brush made for cleaning dentures. Might need to use a wood style toothpick for the spaces between the teeth and the artificial gumline. Rinse well, splash with favorite mouthwash. READ MORE
Should I keep dentures in water overnight?
Yes READ MORE
How can I permanently fix a gap in my teeth?
Your choices are to: 1. Move the teeth closer to each other (via Braces or Invisalign/or similar), or 2. Add on to the teeth (composite bonding or Veneer [composite or porcelain]) making the teeth bigger to fill in the space. READ MORE

How can I stop my partial dentures from hurting?

Does a hard toothbrush destroy enamel?
No. The Enamel portion of our teeth Is the hardest structure of the human body. The gum tissues and the root structure are a completely different story. The use of a hard toothbrush in combination with the gritty material that is in most toothpaste will cause damage to the softer structures in the mouth over time. READ MORE
Is it okay to use Sensodyne every day?
Yes READ MORE
What happens if you get a cavity with Invisalign?
You should get the cavity fixed as soon as possible so that it is small and doesn't keep damaging the tooth. Bring your most recent tray to the dental office and they will use it to check the filling shape so it stays the same as the original tooth and will not affect your Invisalign treatment. If the cavity is large enough that the tooth shape will be changed significantly then a new model/scan of the mouth may be needed along with a new series of Invisalign trays. READ MORE
Can you eat normally with Invisalign?
One of the big benefits of Invisalign treatment devices/trays is that you can take them off while eating and brushing your teeth. You do not have to avoid any type of food, while they are off, but to get the teeth to move properly you must wear them 20-22 hours every day. Coffee, tea, wine, soda, and food should only be consumed while they are off. This would mean avoiding long coffee-sipping breaks, chewing gum, long snack breaks, or sipping wine while watching a movie. You should track how long they are off because all of these times add up together and need to be less than two to four hours per day. You can drink water while the trays are on. READ MORE
Is it normal to have gum pain after getting crown?
Yes, for a short period of time after the crown is placed. If this is not fading away or if the discomfort persists more than a few days contact your dentist and have it evaluated. READ MORE
Can you fix a broken filling?
Usually when a filling breaks, then the entire filling needs to be replaced. The bigger question is why did the filling break? Is there a cavity next to it and it is no longer supporting the filling? Is the bite too heavy on the filling? Are you grinding or clenching your teeth? The dentist needs to look at all these situations. READ MORE
Should you keep brushing bleeding gums?
Yes. The cleaner and healthier the gum tissues are the less they will bleed. When you see bleeding gums, brush more often (gently and carefully) not less. READ MORE
What is the best treatment for crooked teeth?
Braces READ MORE
Can bone graft and implant be done at the same time?
Yes. This is often done. READ MORE
Do gums grow over dental implant crown?
No READ MORE
How do you brush after getting crowns?
You brush them the same way as natural teeth; clean 360° around each tooth using a combination of tooth brush, toothpaste, and dental floss. READ MORE
