  • Can a filling turn into a root canal?

    The short answer is yes. The extent of the decay/bacteria will determine how inflamed the pulp (or the nerve) of the tooth becomes. If the decay reaches closer to the nerve, then that "filling" may turn into a "root canal" READ MORE

  • How do dentists put sealants on teeth?

    Sealants are a non invasive preventive procedure whereby the dentist will clean the grooves of the tooth and then apply a thin layer of the sealant material. The sealant material is usually a resin and will prevent bacteria from the chewing surfaces of the tooth READ MORE

  • Why do my teeth smell bad when I floss?

    The smell usually comes from byproducts produced by bacteria that are between your teeth and food that may be wedged in your teeth READ MORE

  • Root canal?

    There is probably a reinfection of the canal. Usually in the first visit a partial root canal is completed whereby the nerve is removed and a temporary medication is placed to help the tooth heal. However the completion of the root canal is imperative for a successful treatment and to prevent relapse and reinfection. READ MORE

  • How can you cure gum disease without a dentist?

    Short answer - it depends. If your gum disease is in the early "reversible" phase i.e gingivitis - yes with good oral hygiene techniques and a good professional dental cleaning. If you have irreversible gum disease and accompanying inflammation in the bone (bone loss) i.e periodontitis - your dentist will have work with you to prevent further disease. So it depends what stage your gum disease is. READ MORE
