  • What should be done for a chipped "baby tooth"?

    Hi there! Biggest thing you'd want to monitor for is a color change in the teeth i.e. if the tooth or teeth start to turn gray or brown. This does not happen immediately and may take weeks or months to show but if this does start to show, this is a sign that the nerves in the tooth were affected from the fall and may need to be treated. If the tooth isn't treated, the infection could affect permanent teeth that are developing underneath so get to a dentist soon so they can go over the options! READ MORE

  • Why does only one tooth area bleed when I floss?

    Do you get food stuck in this area a lot? It's hard to say without a full exam but most of the time teeth bleed during flossing because there's something in there that is irritating the gums i.e. food. This can be fixed in a number of ways - come in for an exam so we can get to the root of the problem! READ MORE

  • How can I stop my husband from grinding his teeth in his sleep?

    Teeth grinding is usually a result of other underlying issues i.e. stress, airway blockage during sleep and even malocclusion. Best short answer and quick thing to do is to get him a nightguard to prevent further damage to his teeth. The nightguards work best if they are made custom to the patient in a dental office but there are better long-term options available that can be discussed after a full exam. Hope this helps!
