Dr. Alana L. Hollis, DDS's Expert Contributions
  • Can medications fix gingivitis?

    The most simple solution for gingivitis is brushing and flossing daily and going to your cleanings at the dentist. Gingivitis is a reversible process. READ MORE

  • Can you redo a root canal?

    Yes, it is called a re-treatment and sometimes needs to be done if the tooth is re-infected. See your dentist and they will take a look at tooth and properly diagnose. READ MORE

  • How many refilling can you get?

    Fillings can be re-filled based on your dentist's discretion. Sometimes if the tooth needs a new filling, it can be refilled, other times it may need something different like a crown. This varies on a number of different factors. The timing is also very flexible as sometimes fillings get new decay underneath them due to lack of oral hygiene at home and sometimes that means they need to be replaced sooner than 5 years. On the other hand they can also last much longer with great oral hygiene as well. READ MORE

  • What pain medications help with root canal pain?

    Alternating Tylenol and Ibuprofen every 6-8 hours READ MORE

  • Do you get a gum graft during implant surgery?

    Not always, but you could need one depending on the situation. Up to the doctor's discretion READ MORE

  • How long does it take to start seeing results from Invisalign treatment?

    I would speak with the doctor who is doing your trays about the estimated time. This depends on a variety of factors and they will have your whole case to go off of for an estimate. READ MORE

  • How to fix a broken denture?

    See your dentist and they can see if it can be repaired or if a new one needs to be made. READ MORE

  • Can you use Listerine with dental implants?

    Yes, you can! READ MORE

  • What can I do to fix gingivitis?

    Most people have a mild form of gingivitis. Coming in for regular cleanings at your dentist office will help along with great oral hygiene practices at home. READ MORE

  • Is gum graft surgery safe?

    Yes! Your dentist or periodontist who is performing the surgery is qualified and will go over any risks/concerns you may have about the surgery, but overall it is a safe procedure. READ MORE

  • How long does a root canal take to heal?

    It depends on the infection. Root canals can take up to one year to fully heal, but typically people are sore for a few days after the procedure. READ MORE

  • Which crown is best for implants?

    There are many crowns that will work well with implants, the two most popular are Zirconia crowns and Emax crowns. Emax tends to be used more for the anterior teeth and Zirconia tends to be used more for the posterior teeth, but both are great materials. READ MORE

  • Can you get a gum infection after a cleaning?

    An infection can happen at any time, but it will not be because of a cleaning. Sometimes your gums can be sore after a cleaning and rinsing with warm salt water can help. READ MORE

  • Will braces give you straight teeth?

    Yes, that is the goal of braces to straighten your teeth and to fix any bite issues that you might have in order to make your bite as ideal as possible. READ MORE

  • Will I have pain after a root canal?

    You may have some discomfort a few days after the root canal, but then that should subside and the tooth will no longer hurt. READ MORE

  • How long should I wait to get a crown after a root canal?

    Consult with your dentist about this, as everyone's opinion's will differ slightly. Typically, I prefer to wait about 1-2 weeks just so any general soreness has subsided from the root canal. It can be done anytime after a root canal, though. You do not want to wait too long as the filling after the root canal is temporary, but it can last up to 3 months typically. READ MORE

  • Does a root canal hurt for front tooth?

    You will be numb for the procedure, so no, it should not hurt. However, everyone's pain tolerance is different. You may have some soreness once the procedure is completed, but then that will subside. READ MORE

  • Are lingual braces painful?

    Hello, I have not experienced them myself, so I cannot speak to whether or not they would be painful. However, you will be far more aware of them than traditional braces because they will be on your tongue side. Your tongue will be very aware of something bulkier than normal being there and this could be an annoyance. I would consult with an Orthodontist on whether or not this would be a good option for you in terms of your needs. READ MORE

  • Should I have toothache after getting a crown?

    You can sometimes have sensitivity after a crown is placed for up to 2 months depending on a number of factors such as what cement was used, how deep the crown was, the extent of decay previously there, etc. However, if there is pain or swelling that seems abnormal, I would go back to your dentist and have some testing done because the tooth may have an infection associated with it or the crown may be too high and need to be adjusted. READ MORE

  • Popped Jaw

    I would still go see your doctor for this as they may be able to offer you some other services like a muscle relaxant, lifestyle changes, or even physical therapy sessions that you may need. It may resolve itself, but it's always best to get things checked out. READ MORE
