  • Do I have to be numb?

    Teeth only need fillings when the decay gets into the dentin or second layer of your tooth. The dentin layer has nerve fibers and causes pain when worked on. Numbing is needed in this case. However, if the decay does not go that deep, the tooth usually only needs a painted on sealant, no drilling needed, to seal and fix the problem. For treatment of this problem or to meet your other dental needs, call the dental office of Dr. Brad Emery, Dr. Nicholas Emery and Dr. Carol Scuro, at 585-247-7110. Or check out our website at www.drsemeryandscuro.com READ MORE

  • What can I eat or avoid eating to reduce plaque?

    Sounds like you are on the right track but need a little more. The two food types that produce the most harmful plaque that cause decay and gum disease are sugars and partially hydrolyzed starches (breads, crackers, pretzels, chips, grain based foods). After you eat any of these items you will need to clean your teeth to remove the plaque formed. A good ultrasonic tooth brush and stimudents will also help.

Or check out our website at www.drsemeryandscuro.com. READ MORE

  • What if only one tooth is crooked?

    : The answer is sometimes and yes. Sometimes if just one tooth is slightly out of line, veneers can reshape and make it look straight. If it is more than slightly out of line and braces are needed the other teeth would be moves. This would allow space for the crooked tooth to be moved into its proper space. For treatment of this problem or to meet your other dental needs, call the dental office of Dr. Brad Emery, Dr. Nicholas Emery and Dr. Carol Scuro, at 585-247-7110. Or check out our website at www.drsemeryandscuro.com. READ MORE

  • I don't understand how I got Periodontal disease

    There can be some genetic predisposition to certain diseases, however this doesn't mean they can not be avoided.

  • Is water-flossing as effective as regular flossing?

    A water pik is good for removing pieces of food from teeth, for example when wearing braces. However, a water pik does not remove the sticky bacterial plaque that causes decay and gum disease. Dental floss is needed to do that. So you are correct and your boyfriend should switch to regular flossing for a sweeter kiss. READ MORE
