How long does it take to recover from a dental implant?
Healing times may vary possibly depending on any underlying medical conditions, but usually can last as little as 1 day, but may take up to one week to fully recover. READ MORE
When can I start eating normal food after dentures?
The answer to the question is immediately, however, we know that it is not always true as it depends on how quickly you adapt to them. In twenty years of making and delivering dentures, I have had patients adapt to them in a week, yet I have also had patients who took longer to adapt to them. READ MORE
What do I do if my tooth root is exposed?
If you are currently asymptomatic without esthetic concerns, you may have to do nothing other than watch the progression of recession. If you have sensitivity or it looks really bad, a gingival graft may be recommended. Usually a periodontist may make that decision. READ MORE
How many times a day should you use a Waterpik?
At least twice a day along with brushing twice a day. READ MORE
Are white spots on teeth cavities?
White spots on teeth are usually not cavities. They are either hyper or hypo calcifications. READ MORE
What are the signs of a failed dental bone graft?
Signs of a failed bone graft may include, but are not limited to pain or infection. Your provider will usually do a follow-up X-ray or CT scan to check the graft. Sometimes resorption of a graft may occur, but may not exhibit pain or infection. READ MORE
Can I swallow my saliva after mouthwash?
Yes, you can, as there is no toxicity with most mouthwashes. READ MORE
What happens if the decayed tooth is not removed?
The decay can affect the nerve, which then may cause an abscess. Infections can get worse. READ MORE
How often should I change my dentures?
That depends on the fit and wear of your current dentures. But all things being equal, every 7-10 years is a good rule of thumb. READ MORE
How long do teeth hurt after a root canal?
Post-operative pain after a root canal varies from person to person. Many people have no pain but it may last up to a week. There should be some lessening of the pain each day. If intense pain continues after a week even after taking NSAIDs, follow up with the treating doctor. READ MORE
Is composite bonding cheaper than veneers?
Composite bonding is usually less expensive, but may not look as esthetic or last as long as a veneer. READ MORE
Is it bad to keep mouthwash in your mouth too long?
While I am not sure why you would do this, there should be no real harm to this practice. READ MORE
How can I tighten my gums around my teeth?
The best way to tighten your gums is to undergo periodontal therapy which may just be a simple scaling or root planing or may include gum or gingival surgery. The success of surgery is dependent upon the supporting periodontium or bone. READ MORE
Is a gold crown better than zirconia?
If you are not concerned with esthetics and it is a posterior crown, gold crowns are a great option. READ MORE
How can I deep clean my gums at home?
It is possible for many people to get hygiene instruments to deep clean their gums, however, without proper care and technique, people do more damage like cut their gums, so it is important to see trained professionals like a hygienist or dentist. READ MORE
