What does bone loss in the teeth mean?
Bone loss is something that can happen with age and especially with people who are diabetic because of inflammation. The best thing to do is continue going to your 6 month checkups so you keep your teeth and gums healthy to slow down the bone loss process. Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
How can flossing help in maintaining the health of teeth and gums?
Flossing is very important because it cleans the part of the teeth that brushing doesn’t reach - between the teeth. Flossing should be done once daily to avoid gums from becoming inflamed and sensitive. Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
I have severe pain in my deep cavity filling. What could this be?
Deep fillings tend to be in close proximity to the nerve and may cause pain. I would go back to your dentist and let them know this is happening so they can evaluate and propose new treatment options. The bleeding may be from irritated gums due to possibly not brushing the area as well if you’re in a lot of pain or it can also be from having a cracked tooth. Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
Do I have to be numb?
It depends on how deep the filling is. Every one has a different pain tolerance. Usually when a filling is done they tend to be a bit deeper and go into the inner layer of the tooth where there is a connection to the nerve/pulp in the tooth. You can surely ask your dentist if the filling you have done requires anesthesia. Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
Is the fluoride treatment at the dentist really worth it?
Fluoride helps the enamel become stronger due to its regenerating ingredients. I would let your dentist know you do already use ACT mouthwash and maybe the fluoride treatment can be minimized to every other professional cleaning you have done. Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
Front tooth cavity
The next option for you would be asking your dentist if you are a good candidate for veneers. Fillings in front teeth tend to stain, especially if eating foods that cause staining. Always drink water after having foods like tomato sauce, coffee, red wine, or tea. Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
How can I reverse yellowing of my teeth?
Yellowing of teeth can be caused by certain foods we eat that stain (a few being coffee, tomato sauce, red wine, tea). I always suggest drinking water after having any of these foods. The other option would be teeth whitening to restore your teeth to their original whiteness. Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
What is a dry socket?
Dry socket is when the healing process of the extraction site is interrupted, usually due to a dislodged blood clot which leaves the bone exposed. It is usually treated by a dentist by placing a medicinal dressing in the extraction site, so the bone is covered and usually in a few days, the pain goes away. Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
I don't understand how I got Periodontal disease
Yes, there is a genetic component to periodontal disease. Keep brushing 2-3 times a day and floss daily, so you stabilize and don't let it get worse. Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
I can't fix my teeth sensitivity. What do I do?
If you are still having sensitivity after trying with a sensitivity toothpaste I would make an appointment with your dentist. The issue may be receding gums and consequently your root is exposed to air and water causing the sensitivity. Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
Very swollen and red gums after routine dental cleaning
Usually, swollen and inflamed gums after a cleaning can be a reaction to having a lot of tartar buildup and already having some gingivitis before going into your appointment for a cleaning. Did this symptom finally subside? Lara Bacchelli READ MORE
