Dental Fluorosis
Overview:The proper amount of fluoride helps prevent and control tooth decay in children and adults. Despite the benefits of fluoride in caries prevention, excess fluoride consumption during tooth development can result in a range of visible changes to the enamel surface of the tooth. These changes...
Do I need a root canal to get a crown?
You don't need to do a root canal just for the purpose of the crown procedure. However, if there is a cavity that is close to the nerve and has involved the nerve, then you need a root canal. Dr. Norouzi READ MORE
Is Invisalign faster than braces?
Invisalign is not necessarily faster than braces. However, it is more hygienic since it's removable and gives the patient the chance to well clean the teeth. It is also more cosmetic. READ MORE
How long does it take to get partial dentures after teeth are pulled?
Getting a permanent partial denture after the extractions depends on the number of the extraction and the status of the bone and gum tissue. The bone usually goes under changes within the next 6 months following the extractions. However, you always have the option of getting an immediate partial denture while the bone is healing and until you start the process of the permanent partial denture. I hope this helps. Dr. Norouzi READ MORE
What can I take for root canal pain?
Thanks for contacting me, and I'm sorry that you are experiencing some pain. If you don't have any kidney and liver problems, you can alternate between Tylenol 500 mg and Ibuprofen 600 mg, over the counter, every 4-6 hours. That combination is very effective to relieve pain. Ask your physician if you are able to take Tylenol or ibuprofen. I hope this helps. READ MORE
Is floss with fluoride good?
Dear Patient, Thanks for reaching out. Yes, floss with fluoride definitely is recommended and has an advantage over regular floss. Just keep in mind that the most important thing is that you floss regularly at least once a day. READ MORE
Do dental cysts go away on their own?
Dental cysts do not go away on their own. They tend to get bigger in size over time. However, the rate at which they grow usually depends on the nature of the cyst. READ MORE
How do you relieve pain from a dental bridge?
I’m sorry about that. I’m not sure what is exactly the reason that the bridge hurts, but if I take a guess, I think the bridge is putting too much pressure on the gum, where the tooth is missing. It might be that a part of the bridge is too high, or food gets trapped there. If the bridge is high, that has to be fixed by the dentist. If food gets trapped there, I suggest that you use the water pick or super floss to clean the area. I hope that helps. If it doesn’t, it’s best to see your dentist for evaluation.

How long do teeth hurt after scaling?
The gum might be sore for about 7-10 days following scaling and root planing (deep cleaning). Scaling and root planing is an invasive procedure and it is natural for the gum to be sore for a short period, but after that the gum starts to heal toward a healthy condition. You can discuss with your dentist regarding pain medication while the gum is healing. Dr. Norouzi READ MORE
What should I eat after scaling and root planing?
After scaling and root planing, the gum might be sore, and the pocket between the teeth and gum is open, so it's best to stay on a soft diet and avoid anything that irritates the gums. So, avoid anything hot, hard, and spicy. Dr. Norouzi READ MORE
How do you close a gap in your teeth without orthodontics?
Hello, The short answer is yes, you can close a gap without orthodontics. That would be with lab-made or chair-side veneers that cover the gap. The long answer is that for the best cosmetic results, the treatment depends on the situation: how big are the size of the gaps and the teeth that we are working on, and where the gaps are. For example, if there is a large gap between the two front teeth (called diastema) and the teeth are small, it is not most cosmetic if those two front teeth are covered with very large veneers in an attempt to close the gap. That is because the result would be two very large front teeth, which is not very cosmetic. In that case, we have to equalize the space between all the front teeth, using orthodontic treatment, and then cover the teeth with veneers that have the right size proportions. I hope this answers your question. Dr. Norouzi. READ MORE
