What can sensitive teeth mean?
There are a few different things that it could mean. First, it could mean that your gums are receding and exposing the roots of your teeth. This can be very painful and you would need extensive work to take care of it. A different cause would be extensive decay to the nerve in one or more teeth. Also very painful, but could be just one tooth that is causing the problem. Both causes are due to less than adequate oral hygiene. READ MORE
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Well, first the pain is a sign that you need to be seen ASAP. Apart from that, sensitivity to temperature (cold and/or hot) would be an indication that the tooth needs a root canal. READ MORE
My front tooth just cracked. How can it be fixed?
Unfortunately, this doesn't have a simple answer because it depends on the extent of the crack. If the crack is large and extends to the root of the tooth, it is unlikely that it can be repaired, if it is a superficial crack, it could be repaired with a filling. There are many other scenarios in between those two as well. READ MORE
How often do you need your teeth cleaned?
Definitely more than once a year! If you are brushing twice a day thoroughly, flossing at least once a day, using an antimicrobial rinse after every meal, you might be able to get away with once a year. In short, you have to have perfect oral hygiene. Most people however, should go a minimum of twice a year, preferably even 3-4 times a year for a professional cleaning because it doesn't take very long for a cavity to develop. READ MORE
What is the importance of using dental floss?
Yes, flossing is still very important. Brushing alone does not completely clean in between the teeth, where food particles can become stuck, causing tooth decay. READ MORE
What are my options for replacing a missing tooth?
Common options would be a dental bridge, a partial removable denture, or an implant. If you are a candidate, an implant is the way to go as it doesn't damage the teeth around the missing tooth, and you treat it just like a normal tooth when it is finished. READ MORE
