Can I get a filling without a root canal?
The only time you need to get a root canal is if the cavity has got to the nerve of the tooth or there is an inflammation or infection with the nerve. As long as the cavity has not reached the nerve, a filling is adequate. READ MORE
Can braces damage your teeth?
The braces don't damage your tooth. Sometimes the area where the brackets are could get decalcified and more prone to get decayed. READ MORE
Can antibiotics alone cure a tooth abscess?
Antibiotics can temporarily help with the infection, but the source of infection needs to be treated to get rid of the infection. READ MORE
Is a root canal treatment safe?
Yes if it is done by a professional and following the proper steps. READ MORE
When can you eat after a filling?
If the filling is a tooth color filling, you can eat right away. It is always best to wait until anesthesia wears off, so you don't bite yourself. READ MORE

How can I stop my husband from grinding his teeth in his sleep?

Why does only one tooth area bleed when I floss?
There is definitely some gum inflammation around the tooth. There are several reasons for gum inflammation. I suggest you see your dentist to get it evaluated. READ MORE
Are electric toothbrushes any better for the teeth?
Electric toothbrushes are good as long as you hold them with the right angle in the right areas. You can get the same result with the manual tooth brush as long as you do it right. READ MORE
Can I do teeth whitening with a front half fake incisor?
The teeth whitening will not have any effect on the filling or the crown. You can do the whitening on your front teeth first to get them to the desire shade, then do the crown on the tooth and match the shade. READ MORE
Will frequent teeth cleanings remove spots from my teeth?
It depends what the brownish spots are. If it is extrinsic stain due to drinking tea or coffee, polishing with a special material may remove it. Bleaching can also eliminate stains. But if the spots are intrinsic, they won’t come off. READ MORE
