Why are my teeth shifting as I get older?
You should have your mouth evaluated by a dentist. Teeth can shift for many reasons like periodontal disease (gum disease) grinding, loss of teeth, etc. Teeth also have a natural tendency to move a little over time. As you use your teeth, there is attrition that happens where you will lose some tooth structure over time, and your teeth will erupt more to compensate for that loss. The root portion of your tooth is narrower than the coronal portion and when tooth comes up, you may get spacing and tooth movement. READ MORE
What happens if you leave a broken tooth untreated?
What can happen is infection, pain, more decay in the tooth that leads to pain or infection. You could also have bad breath. All depends on how it's broken. You should have it evaluated by the dentist to see what the options are. It usually is not recommended to leave it alone. READ MORE
Is root canal the only way to treat a tooth cavity?
If your cavity is deep enough and too close to the nerve inside the tooth, then Root Canal Therapy may be the only option. Alternative could be and extraction and either an implant or fixed bridge, or even removable appliance. All of that depends on how deep the caries is and your symptoms. READ MORE
How long after an implant can I get a crown?
Typically, it's around 3-4 months in the top jaw, but could be less in the bottom jaw. Sometimes a temporary crown can be made so that you are not without a tooth (especially in the front). READ MORE
Can I get a filling if I am pregnant?
Typically, you may be able to in the second trimester. READ MORE
Can a toothpaste help with tooth sensitivity?
There are specific toothpastes that help with sensitivity such as Sensodyne and Colgate for sensitive teeth. There is also a Listerine rinse for sensitive teeth that helps. In general though, you should check with your dentist to see why you are so sensitive and see if there is anything that can be done that is not a band aid treatment. READ MORE
Is the fluoride treatment at the dentist really worth it?
Fluoride varnish (that is what I am assuming your dentist is talking about) is something that is meant to stay on your teeth for a while to give you full effect. Fluoride treatment helps with remineralization of teeth and makes them less cavity prone, but if you are using ACT every day, you may not necessarily need extra. Too much fluoride can also be toxic.

Why is my daughter still not teething?
You should check with a pediatric dentist. Some kids can be a bit delayed with eruption. READ MORE
Are my medications staining my teeth?
Some medications and supplements can stain your teeth, and iron can be one of those. Also, some things you drink or eat could also cause staining. Red wine, coffee, black tea, Beetle nuts, some spices, as well as tobacco can cause stains to appear. READ MORE
