Dr. Conway F. Jensen D.D.S.'s Expert Contributions
How long does the roof of your mouth take to heal after a gum graft?
That’s a good question for the doctor doing their procedure. As each graft and individual health status habits and history are different. Typically 10 to 20 days Dr Jensen READ MORE
Can Invisalign cause health problems?
Only if you don't keep them clean or have some strange allergy to plastic I guess it's possible but generally no not at all. READ MORE
Dry socket?
No. That will not cause dry socket. Swallow away. Dr Jensen READ MORE
How much norco is safe to take?
Always follow the instructions given by Dr. Dr Jensen READ MORE
Is it OK to postpone a root canal after 1st treatment?
Most times you have 30 days after the initial start. Temporary fillings last best at no longer than 30 days. If it were me I would not prolong it, it may change presentation. As far as CoVid is concerned, the dental office is the cleaned place you can be. We have higher standards than most operation rooms at hospitals. Wear a mask, wash your hands. Its that simple. The mask should be clean and appropriate, like a medical mask. I understand you concerns. Its really up to you and what you feel is best. Theres a small chance of getting CoVid if you follow simple easy guidelines. And the treatment will spare you later pain and changes. But again follow your gut. C Jensen DDS, MD READ MORE
How do you make your teeth stop hurting after eating sweets?
See your dentist to rule out any issues. If nothing, you have sensitive teeth. Ask your dentist for tips to stop the sensitivity based on your needs. Dr. Jensen READ MORE
What antibiotic is good for gingivitis?
You don’t need an antibiotic for gingivitis. Just better brushing, flossing, and adding a mouth rinse that will control bacteria like Listerine. Proper oral hygiene and care will help cure your gingivitis quickly. Talk to your dentist and the hygienist next time you have your visit. Maybe they have suggestions based on your particular needs. Dr. Jensen READ MORE
What to do if your tooth is loose and it hurts?
Of course!! Or just leave it if you like the pain. All jokes aside, it’s important to see your dentist. Loose teeth that hurt are not good unless you're 6 years old. Dr. Jensen READ MORE
When is the right time to get dentures?
You need to talk with your dentist about that. Every situation is unique, every person has different presentations and needs. If you don’t have a dentist, then it’s time you go find one you can trust, get a few consults from different providers so you can have options and go in the direction that suits your needs. Dr. Jensen READ MORE
Will my teeth be yellow after braces?
Only if you don’t brush them. Dr Jensen READ MORE
Is it okay to brush your teeth four times a day?
You can brush 200000065767 times a day, as long as you do it softly. Have at it. Question is, would you really change to 3 times a day if you were asked to? Just curious. Dr. Jensen READ MORE
What can I eat with dry socket?
Anything you want, but I’d avoid crunchy stuff. Dr Jensen READ MORE
Is this the correct oral thrush medication?
That’s sounds right, sometimes oral thrush has secondary infections and the antibiotics is important. Dr. Jensen READ MORE
Does gingivitis go away?
No it’s not serious but it can lead to more serious diseases not treated. And yes it will go away if you follow the proper steps. Those steps are daily brushing for as long as needed usually two times a day two minutes each. Followed by flossing. And then use a mouth rinse that will help get rid of the bacteria like a Listerine or an antiseptic mouth rinse, you can easily search YouTube for how to brush your teeth properly and that will give you some good techniques. And then avoid behaviors that will cause gingivitis like smoking chewing tobacco and other unhealthy things in your mouth. Simply do those things and gingivitis will go away quickly. not doing those things it will continue and it will get worse. Dr Jensen READ MORE
There's a gap between my new crown and gum line?
I would Dr J READ MORE
How to fix my jaw asymmetry?
From how you described your bite, it appears you have what is known as a cross bite. What concerns me is that you state it is getting bigger. That can be a bit problematic. Simple cross bites are corrected by Orthodontic appliances. You need to see an orthodontist. I would start at your dentist to rule out any other issues that could be the cause of the cross bite. Your dentist then should be able to refer you to see any specialist needed. Please don't put it off. Changing and growing jaws at your age need to be evaluated. Conway Jensen, DDS READ MORE
Is it normal to have pain after a bridge?
Everyone is different. Best advice is talk with the Dr that did procedure. Dr Jensen READ MORE
How can I make my wisdom teeth stop hurting?
Get them removed. Otherwise they will continue to hurt and worsen. Taking medicine is just a temporary bandage. Dr Jensen READ MORE
Can I most likely wait a week before going to the doctor?
Waiting only makes things worse. Toothaches come and go because your body is responding to the inflammation. But when you leave it alone and you don’t treat it there are many things that are going on that worsen the situation greatly. Can you wait? Sure, it’s your body you can do what you feel is best. Would I wait? Absolutely not. Just treat your body like you love it. Dr. Jensen READ MORE
How long does a bone graft last without an implant?
That's a very loaded question. There are 100 variables that will determine that. That is a question you should ask the dentist that proposed that. Most graphs will last a lifetime. But again, that all depends on the situation. The reason they propose a graft with an implant is insufficient bone. When the implant is there, you are at a better chance of losing more bone because the implant will stabilize that area. It’s just like when you see people with dentures, their mouth shrinks because they have bone loss. An implant helps support the bone and keeps it there longer. But that is just a guess from your question. Again, I highly recommend you talk with your dentist about the pros and cons of reasons. Dr. Jensen READ MORE
