What is the difference between a cleaning and a deep cleaning at the dentist?

What do you do if your crown falls off your tooth?
it is always prudent to go back to the original provider first. READ MORE
Could a toothache be caused by a problem with my jaw?
Yes, your jaw joint or TMJ has a wide range of motion. If your jaw is injured or muscles are tense or inflamed, that can change the way your teeth mesh together. So, instead of meshing well, they could be banging each other more forcefully than normal and that could cause a toothache. Have a great day! Dr. Gerald Bittner READ MORE
Can sinus infections cause tooth pain?
Absolutely! Especially on the top rear teeth. It will feel like a toothache due to the fact the sinus pressure is pushing on the nerve exiting the apex (or tip) of the tooth root! Have a great day! Dr. Gerald Bittner READ MORE
