Dr. Jesse A. Grimm, DDS's Expert Contributions
  • What is the medication that the dentist will use as an anesthesia before my root canal?

    The type of anesthesia used for root canal therapy or surgery depends on the specific patient. Your dental professional should review your health history and choose an anesthetic that would be amenable to your specific situation. Dr. Grimm READ MORE

  • My daughter chipped her front two teeth. What are our options?

    Options for treatment depend on the extent of damage to the teeth involved. with minimal chipping no root fractures and the teeth still vital(alive) conservative composite bonded restorations should very well. If the chipping is extensive a porcelain veneer or crown restoration may be needed. If the tooth or teeth become non-vital root canal therapy would be indicated possibly followed by a crown. If a root fracture exists then the treatment varies depending on the extent and location. Dr. Grimm READ MORE

  • Does switching toothpaste matter?

    I know of no scientific studies that would indicate that switching from one toothpaste to another same tooth paste is going to have any benefit for your oral health. If however you have an issue with one tooth paste, sloughing of tissue witch can occur in some individuals with some whitening or tarter control tooth pastes then switching would be good for your oral health. Dr. Grimm READ MORE

  • How can I reverse yellowing of my teeth?

    Daily flossing and brushing with a whitening tooth paste and avoiding smoking, coffee, tea, and other such things that stain teeth will go a long way to remove stains and preventing new development of staining. Having your teeth cleaned regularly (every 6 months, or 3 months in some cases) is another important part in keeping whiter teeth. Many people find that they would like even brighter teeth. That is where bleaching comes in. Over-the-counter systems work to some degree. Dental office provided systems work even better. For some, there are in-office treatments with or without a light to get an initial quick start and may have an even better result. Dr. Grimm READ MORE

  • Do I have to be numb?

    Whether or not a patient needs to get numb for fillings depends on many factors. The size, location,reason for restoration, type of restoration, type of preparation, age of the tooth,clinician training and experience, patient perception of the feeling during the procedure all have some effect on the need for numbing(local anesthesia). There are many fillings(restorations) I and other dentists perform with out local anesthesia routinely. The answer is between you the patient and the treating clinician. Dr. Grimm READ MORE

  • Why are some people's canine teeth sharper than others?

    The shape of your teeth when they come in is genetically related. However the shape can change over time do to forces on them and wear of enamel- the outer layer of tooth structure, Canines can have a rather pointed appearance compared to other teeth in the mouth. With normal function some wear can be acceptable. Excessive or pathological wear and sharper appearance can occur with parafunctional ( other than normal) habits and is often a sign of bruxism or grinding of teeth and should be evaluated for the need of repair and an occlusal guard.

  • How can I reverse yellowing of my teeth?

    Yellowing of teeth is a concern for many patients. A good solution for many of these patients is bleaching - a process of removing external stains in the enamel (outer layer) of teeth. There many different products available to accomplish this, the best and safest are obtained through your dental professional. Yellowing can be related to the underlying dentin which is yellow in nature. There has been some success in bleaching teeth thought unable to benefit from bleaching-Tetracycline stained teeth. The tetracycline stains this underlying dentin grey to yellow brown. Some success has been achieved even in these cases so it warrants a discussion with your dentist. Over the counter products just do not achieve the same results. Bleaching should not be performed until all present decay (cavities) are treated. Therefore bleaching should only be performed under the supervision of your dentist. Dr. Grimm READ MORE

  • My tooth in the back is half broken, what should I do?

    Any tooth that breaks should be evaluated by a dental professional because it could potentially cause serious oral(mouth) and or systemic( whole body) health issues. A fractured tooth causing pain has a higher need of evaluation. The fracture involves nerves and other vulnerable soft tissues either inside the tooth and or the supporting tissues( gums, connective tissue, bone). In either case infiltration and spread of bacteria can and will occur leading to potential serious health effects. Therefore it needs to be evaluated by a dental professional for treatment needs. READ MORE

  • Do dentists offer services to the uninsured?

    Many have third party lenders to help people afford and pay for their treatment. READ MORE

  • How often to use mouth wash?

    How often to use a fluoride rinse really depends on your specific caries rate and susceptibility (how likely you are to get and how often get cavities). This is something your dental professional can discuss with you. For the general population most fluoride rinses specify once daily. READ MORE

  • Can effects from TMJ ever be reversed?

    Unfortunately there is not much that can be done about the clicking in the TM joint( Temporal Mandibular - jaw joints). This is the result of an injury and displacement of the disc(cartilage) that sits between the condyle ( lower jaw portion of joint) and articular eminence(skull portion of jaw joint). The click is a result of the condyle popping on and off this disc. Fortunately this condition is often asymptomatic- pain free. Although in the beginning some individuals have a priod of pain until the surrounding tissues reorganize and become tolerant of the new stresses they are supporting.There have been many attempted treatments for TMJ problems including surgeries,which only have about a 50% success rate. Other treatments include splints(something worn in mouth). There has been limited success in recapturing the disk with splints in early treatment cases. Many will repeatedly relapse however. In some cases over time the click disappears probably due to further recontouring of the disk over time. READ MORE

  • Brushing too hard?

    If used properly electric tooth brushes do a better job and are less damaging to gum tissues. Be sure to use only soft bristle heads light pressure, fingers not fist grip and gently move the toothbrush along allowing enough time to do the work it was designed to do. Be sure to cover all surfaces of the teeth even the interface between tooth and gum. READ MORE

  • Food getting stuck behind wisdom teeth

    Long term retention of any tooth in a mouth requires maintenance( brushing and flossing). With out this care it will eventually develop decay(cavity) and or gum disease. There are special end tuft brushes to improve access and cleaning in such areas. However a flap over a tooth can also in some instances be removed for better access and cleaning. In your case I would suggest you revisit keeping or removing these teeth with your dentist or an oral surgeon recommended by your dentist taking about the changing maintenance difficulties you are experiencing. Dr. Grimm. READ MORE

  • Is it bad if a piece of an old filling falls out?

    Loss of any portion of a previous filling can cause a food or plaque trap. This can cause leakage of material and bacteria into the gap between the filling and tooth. Bacteria in this area will cause eventual decay(cavity) with or without pain. Sensitivity.is a sign that leakage is affecting the nerve in that tooth to some degree. A visit to a Dentist soon would be best. Dr. Grimm READ MORE

  • I wear my retainer, so why are my teeth still shifting?

    Shifting  and what we call relapse or teeth trying to return toward their original position is common in orthodontic treatment( braces). Most often if worn for night only, retainers can retain teeth in there new positions after wearing the retainers for almost 24 hours per day for an initial length of time. Some cases are more prone to relapse however. In those cases if undesired shifting is noticed the best course of action would be to return to the original dentist or orthodontiist who did the treatment for a follow up visit to discuss the concern. Alternately seeing another orthodontist or dentist who treats orthodontic cases would be acceptable if the original clinician is unavailable. Dr. Grimm  READ MORE

  • What if only one tooth is crooked?

    The only way to straighten teeth is some form of orthodontic movement. This can be achieved by different methods- braces(fixed orthodontic appliances) removable orthodontic appliances( retainer type, clear aligners ie  Invisalign, elastics). With these space is usually needed to straighten this tooth so room is needed to accomplish movement. Therefore this involves more than one tooth. An exam by a dental professional will discover if movement can be accomplished simply or is more complex. There are some restorative options to make a crooked tooth appear straight. This also can be discovered and discussed during an exam and consult with a dental professional to formulate the best treatment option for your situation. Dr. Grimm  READ MORE

  • What is a dry socket?

    A dry socket is the result of the loss of the initial clot in the tooth socket. When a tooth is removed (extracted) blood flows into the socket from the surrounding bone, periodontal ligament (connective tissue holding tooth in socket) and surrounding soft tissue (gingiva-gums). This blood reorganizes into a clot that fills the socket. This initial clot is fragile and can be dislodged by negative pressure (sucking on a straw, spitting, smoking) chemical dissolution or breakdown by carbonated drinks, alcohol, or smoking. The resulting bare exposed bone is very sensitive to this harsh environment and becomes inflamed (alveolar osteitis). Therefore you get pain. Treatment involves flushing the socket with medication then packing the socket with medicament and material that both soothes the bone and protects it until epithelial tissue can grow back over it. Treatment is fairly common and most often done by the original surgeon or any general dentist. READ MORE

  • Skin is shedding on the inside of my mouth (my cheeks). Is this normal?

    Sloughing or peeling of cheek mucosa or lip mucosa is a somewhat common phenomena with certain formulations  of tooth pastes, Previous tartar control tooth pastes and now with some whitening toothpastes it has been reported. It is thought to be a mild allergic type reaction to ingredients in these tooth pastes. If it is a recent development since using a new type of tooth paste discontinue its use and switch to a formulation with out whitening or tartar control.Not having any known allergies does not preclude you from having this type reaction with these tooth pastes. Sloughing or peeling cheek tissue can have other causes. Habits of cheek or lip biting can cause a type of peeling or sloughing of tissue with out frank or notable sores. There are some more serious types of conditions that can cause tissue peeling or sloughing of mucosa in the oral cavity(mouth).Some of local and some of systemic (whole body) origin. So if switching to a different formulation of tooth paste does not clear the problem up, you should see a dentist soon for an evaluation.Dr. Grimm. READ MORE
