Can Invisalign aligners be worn while drinking tea?
Of course they can, but it will definitely stain the aligners. READ MORE
How can I make flossing easier?
Speak to your dentist for a demonstration. Best way is to position the floss so that both opposing fingers can touch the tooth at the same time. I suggest you look at YouTube. READ MORE
Can a filling be done on a wisdom tooth?
Absolutely, if the tooth is functional. However, if it is not functional, it may be best to consider an extraction. READ MORE
What is the home remedy for cavity pain?
Best to see your DDS. If Tylenol and Advil combo don’t help, you may have waited too long. READ MORE
Is it ok to sleep with your dentures in?
Not really. As your breathing and respiration slow down, so does your saliva flow. With less saliva flow, the movement of the denture at night causes irritation of the hard (bone) and soft (palate) tissue in the mouth. It is best to let the mouth rest at night free from denture friction. READ MORE
Is it normal to have bad breath after a tooth extraction?
Sure. The socket is filled with healing and most often some percentage of granulation tissue. The socket needs to be gently cleansed and the smell and taste will dissipate with time. READ MORE
How long does a dental bridge procedure take?
So many variables. Generally, it takes about 25-39 minutes per tooth. A three-unit bridge will take less time than a 4or five unit bridge! Many times when doing a bridge, other procedures are necessary in order to insure the foundation of the bridge is sound. Depending on the scope and number of the these procedures, the time needed to complete the temporary bridge will be prolonged. My suggestion would be to ask the DDS what they expect the allotted time to be and adjust accordingly. Hope this helps, William J. Fessler, DDS READ MORE
