Dr. James Alan Johnson D.D.S.'s Expert Contributions
Is it normal for the bone graft to be added 4 months after dental extraction?
It is usually done at the time of extraction as long as there wasn’t extensive infection.sometimes if there is excessive resorption of bone, a graft can be placed at that time. READ MORE
Can I get my teeth straightened while pregnant?
I would say no. Because you need X-rays, plus hormones can mess with your gums, bones and joints. I’d suggest waiting a year after you give birth. READ MORE
Can you eat normally with Invisalign?
Usually during the limited time you can remove the aligners. READ MORE
Can you wear dentures 24/7?
It’s not recommended unless you have breathing issues such as apnea or you have discomfort in the jaws from reduced inter occlusal distance. It’s best to let the gums rest part of the day. READ MORE
Should you keep brushing bleeding gums?
Yes but make sure you get a proper exam and diagnosis as to why they are bleeding. READ MORE
Should you brush teeth before or after coffee?
Both! READ MORE
Does drinking with a straw prevent cavities?
No READ MORE
Can composite bonding fill gaps?
In some cases very successfully READ MORE
How do you make your teeth stop hurting after eating sweets?
Brush, floss, rinse, use fluoride and toothpaste paste for sensitive teeth. Make sure you have your teeth checked for decay READ MORE
My jaw is loud?
Definitely follow up with your dentist. You should never try to move your own teeth with rubber bands unless prescribed by an orthodontist. READ MORE
Will my tongue get used to Invisalign?
Usually but have the dentist check your aligners for rough edges. READ MORE
What can I do to get rid of the brownish pigmentation around my teeth?
Brush frequently to remove plaque and have them professionally cleaned. Some foods like coffee,tea, dark soda, soy sauce, blueberries etc can be the culprits. Tobacco, stannous fluoride, and chlorhexadine may also cause the staining. READ MORE
How long does it take for the teeth to get alligned with braces?
6 months to several years in most cases. The orthodontist would be the one to make that determination on an individual basis. READ MORE
The food gets stuck often in my braces. What is the best way to keep them clean?
There are special tools for flossing and brushing that your dentist or orthodontist can provide for you. Also a water pic may be helpful. READ MORE
Can water cause my teeth to discolor?
Hmmm. Well water containing large amounts of fluoride may cause spots or discoloration in the developing teeth. It might be beneficial to have the tap water analyzed. But usually teeth aren’t permanently stained by water. Teeth naturally can get darker as we age and the pulp chamber becomes more calcified. READ MORE
What causes tooth abscess?
Usually decay but an abcess can be caused by trauma as well, including orthodontic therapy. READ MORE
How long does the pain last from gum surgery?
On the average three to seven days. Again it will depend on the type and extent of gum surgery . READ MORE
How soon after gum graft can I exercise?
Local anesthetic is a bit cardio toxic but not that much of a problem. I would say around four days if you are comfortable. The main problem it dislodging the graft accidentally. Avoid contact sports for at least two weeks. READ MORE
How long does the roof of your mouth take to heal after a gum graft?
If you’re healthy, get proper nutrition and don’t smoke or drink alcohol, then about one to three weeks. READ MORE
How do I get rid of oral thrust?
Make sure you are not immunocompromised in any way. Avoid sugar, use nystatin rinse or troches for about ten days or diflucan tablets for one to two days.Follow up with yogurt with live cultures and or probiotics to restore normal oral flora. READ MORE
