Dr. Dana M. Jackson D.D.S.'s Expert Contributions
Can a toothpaste help with tooth sensitivity?
Hello, Be certain you decrease citrus and acidic frequency. Do not eat or drink citrus over long periods of time and swish with plain water (no lemons or things in it) immediately following or even during consumption of the citrus. Use Sensodyne Essential Care, but remember that it is not tartar control, so brush longer (not harder and NO hard bristles). Do not eat ice. READ MORE
I am a diabetic and my gums have been bleeding. Is there something to be concerned about?
Yes, you should be concerned. Patients diagnosed with diabetes appear to have a higher chance of getting bone loss and gum disease when oral hygiene is lacking. However, the good news is that with adequate oral hygiene (brushing the right way and right amount of time and flossing or using interdental brushes) the issue can be controlled and even prevented. You should get a good cleaning and instructions (demonstrated to you in the mirror) on hygiene techniques. READ MORE
Do dentists offer services to the uninsured?
There are financing options that many offices accept, such as Care Credit, The Lending Club, Smart Care. READ MORE
Having an abscessed tooth? What could this mean?
Abcesses can occur for different reasons. Usually the tooth is decayed to the nerve or it is cracked or has had trauma, which would sometimes indicate the need for root canal treatment or extraction. See a dentist soon READ MORE
Adult tooth is loose. What should I do?
Hello, It depends on how long it has been and what the radiograph shows. You must see a dentist to evaluate it to know for certain what is going on. Already loose usually leads to extraction. READ MORE
What if only one tooth is crooked?
It depends on the approach of the general dentist or the orthodontist to know if other teeth would move during braces. READ MORE
What is this brownish tinge on my teeth around the gums?
You should appoint with a dentist to get more detailed oral hygiene instructions to be certain you are using an effective brushing and flossing technique. READ MORE
Loose tooth

What is the right age for kids to brush their teeth on their own?
Usually, I suggest the parent helps the child and/or checks behind the child regularly until about 10yo. That is the general time that children learn to write in cursive (do they still do that in school these days with so many computers?). By 10, they usually have more focus and a longer attention span. The better manual dexterity (control over the wrist and hand motions) and more attentiveness at that age gives me confidence that they can be independent brushers. READ MORE
What causes swelling in the gums?
There can be different reasons. You should get a dental exam to determine. It can be gingivitis or an abcess or a foreign body (like a popcorn kernel) in the gums causing issues. READ MORE
Can I do teeth whitening with a front half fake incisor?
Hello, Tooth-colored composite fillings and porcelain crowns ("caps", "fake teeth") do not whiten the same way as the teeth, so I would suggest you whiten to the desirable and tolerable (due to some sensitivity sometimes) shade, then proceed with the crown or other prostheses. READ MORE
