What does bone loss in the teeth mean?
The teeth are placed inside of the jaw bone and sometimes some of the bone supporting the teeth diminishes. In most cases bone loss is the result of untreated periodontal disease. Osteoporosis can also cause the bone loss in jaw which is more common in woman. Depending on the severity of the bone loss, there are some treatment available. Fist you need to find out the cause of the bone loss. If the cause is the presence of periodontal disease, the treatment of the disease can prevent further damages. READ MORE
Do I have to be numb?
It depends on how much drilling is involved. In some cases if the decay is only in the enamel, it doesn't hurt to remove it. If the decay is deeper which requires more drilling, it can be uncomfortable. Topical anesthesia prior to injection can be helpful. The technique of injection can also play an important role. I have been told numerous times that my shots don't hurt much. READ MORE

Once you lose a piece of the old filling, the area is open for bacteria to get in. If you don't get it fixed, you can end up with large amount of cavity. The cavity starts hurting when it reaches the nerve tissue. Take care of it before you end up having the need for a root canal. READ MORE

READ MORE
