Can I get a brace with one missing tooth?
I am not sure I understand what you are asking, but if you are asking if you can get braces (orthodontics for straightening teeth), then yes. If you are asking about a removable partial, yes, they can replace a single missing tooth. READ MORE
Can you do bone graft and implant at the same time?
Bone grafts are often done at the same time as implant placement, but there are also times when there is a larger defect in the bone that requires a separate bone grafting (ridge augmentation) procedure that needs to heal prior to placing an implant. You will have to discuss this directly with the dentist who will be helping with your particular situation. READ MORE
Can you fix dental implant infection?
It depends on how infected the implant is. Typically, you will need to see a specialist called a periodontist for treatment of infected implants (implantitis), but depending on how much bone loss is present the treatment may not completely fix the problem. The implant may have to be taken out. You should definitely go to see a periodontist and find out what your options are. READ MORE
Tonsillitis
You should see your primary care doctor and possibly ENT if you get tonsillitis frequently READ MORE
Tooth pain/ache
To start with as simple a fix as possible and work up from there, it is possible you bit down awkwardly on the tooth and bruised the ligament around it- it can take a couple weeks for the bruise and discomfort to go away. Try avoiding biting in that area, sticking to a little softer diet, and taking ibuprofen/motrin/advil every 8hrs to relieve the discomfort. Keep the area very clean, brushing along the gumline gently and making sure there is no plaque accumulation along the gumline. Floss gently. After brushing and flossing, apply a small dab of sensitivity toothpaste (like sensodyne) along the gumline in that area and leave it (you can spit any excess out, but don't rinse) See if these tips relieve the sensitivity. If it sticks around or gets worse after 2weeks of this, you should seek another exam/second opinion. Don't neglect those other 6 cavities, even if they don't hurt you! READ MORE
Can you wear a retainer with veneers?
You can certainly wear a retainer with veneers, but if the veneers are new, you will need a new retainer made in order for it to fit appropriately. READ MORE
