The gum tissue can also become swollen during the time one has on the braces which is treatable.

Does wearing dentures make your breath stink?
Wearing dentures is not the cause of bad breath; however, not cleansing them properly and regularly can cause the dentures to harbor bacteria through its accumulation daily. Your dentures are most likely made of an acrylic material which is porous and just like teeth when the bacteria is not removed it can be hardened from the minerals in one's saliva and carry an odor. In addition, cleansing of one's tongue and mouth is also important for one's oral health. Do the following: -When you remove the dentures, immediately clean them with a soft toothbrush. -Soak them in clean water when not in use. -Use a denture cleaner that is nonabrasive. -Use a tongue scraper to cleanse your tongue. You should have considerable improvement in your breath. If bad breath continues, visit your dentist because a professional cleansing of the dentures may be necessary for a "fresh" start!

Is it normal for your tooth to hurt after a filling?
Discomfort after a filling can be the result of a number of consequences from the treatment. If the decay is not close to the tissue that has the nerves and blood vessel components in it, there should not be post treatment pain. However, if the "bite" is "off" an adjustment to the restoration may be necessary. If the discomfort persist for more than a 24-48 hours, please let your dentist know. READ MORE
Can front teeth get dental crowns?

What happens if you never get your wisdom teeth pulled out?
The consequences of not having the wisdom teeth removed varies for each individual and is mostly dependent on the development of ones mouth. Wisdom teeth (third molars) are of major concern when they only partially come into the mouth or do not not come in to the mouth at all. Because they are so far back, they make it difficult to maintain. Many individuals don't floss or brush properly on a daily basis the teeth that they can see. In my years of clinical practice, I highly recommend their removal early in life to create a more healthy environment. READ MORE
Is a deep gum cleaning really necessary?
I would not expect that at the age of 23, a "deep gum cleaning" (root planing) would be indicated unless you have an acute periodontitis or juvenile periodontitis. "Deep cleaning" is necessary when there are periodontal pockets deeper than 4mm. Depending on one's hygiene and frequency of professional maintenance, there may be a need for a less invasive procedure with adequate hygiene training and a follow-up appointment in 4-6 weeks. READ MORE
Does losing teeth change your jaw shape?

Each classification of teeth has a different purpose for chewing which affects digestion and muscle function. READ MORE
