Deborah Jin Kim DMD's Expert Contributions
What is the reason behind tooth sensitivity?
No. Unless you have a severe pain that lasts more than five minutes you might not need a root canal therapy. Just a sensitive tooth could be reversed by removing the causes like decay or adding a fluoride or some composites. READ MORE
Do root canals happen more often as you age?
Root canal does not have to increase with age. But as we age, we have more opportunities to have sweets and not brush away the bacteria that release acids that melts away the minerals to cause decay that may go deep enough to go to the nerves that requires rct. READ MORE
Does switching toothpaste matter?
Usually not, but if you have been using non ADA approved tooth paste then go to the one approved, it will improve. READ MORE
Do fillings need to be replaced?
Usually stains in the back doesn't require replacement unless there are decay under the filling. READ MORE
Is chewing gum often bad for your teeth?
I am glad that you said sugarless, sugar with the bacteria that release acids will cause decay. READ MORE
Can novocaine be used during cleanings?
Yes, and there are topical ones in gel that work without puncturing the gums. READ MORE
Is higher or lower pressure better with water flossers?
I think lower the better as long as you remove the food and bacteria. READ MORE
How can flossing help in maintaining the health of teeth and gums?
24 hours or once daily prevents calculus formation, but anytime you have food stuck in between the teeth is a good time to floss. READ MORE
What is gingivitis and its risk factors?
Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums. Redness, tenderness, swelling and pain are usually because of the bacteria that release toxins. Brushing and flossing and waterpiks help remove them. READ MORE
Is a root canal in pregnancy safe?
Root canal therapy is done under local anesthesia and does not usually affect the baby, but we usually avoid anything unnatural during pregnancy and during the first trimester, the fetuses are particularly sensitive. The third trimester of pregnancy, moms are usually uncomfortable sitting in the chair so the best time usually is the second trimester. READ MORE
Can a tooth abscess be seen on an X-ray?
Abscesses melt away the bone and appears dark at the tip of the tooth, but in the beginning, it is hard to see. READ MORE
Can an infected tooth spread the infection to the other teeth as well?
I think if you take the antibiotics, it would clear up all the teeth by circulation. READ MORE
