  • Why does flossing give me a toothache?

    Hi there! Proper flossing will not be painful if your teeth and gums are healthy. There is a chance you are flossing too aggressively, or have an infection in your mouth. I highly recommend seeing a dentist evaluate this area. READ MORE

  • What helps blood clot after tooth extraction?

    Hi there! Blood clotting in your extraction site is a good thing -- it will promote healing of the area. If it does not clot, it will continue bleeding, which is seen in patients with a clotting deficiency, and could warrant a trip to the Emergency Room. If the blood clot is formed and then removed (frequently caused by swishing or sucking through a straw 1-3 days after surgery), you will develop "dry socket" - a very painful condition. To promote clotting, you can use ice packs, or bite on black tea bags. Please contact your surgeon if your extraction site continues to bleed, or if it becomes very painful. READ MORE

  • How can I stop my gum from hurting ?

    Hi there! Yes, I would highly recommend that you see a dentist to have your gum pain evaluated. It could be something as small as trauma from chewing, or something as major as gum disease or oral cancer. READ MORE

  • Do I have to soak my dentures every night?

    Hi there! Most types of dentures will lose their shape if they are not kept moist. When you take your dentures out at night, you should store them in a liquid-filled container or case. You can use plain tap water, but regularly soaking your dentures in a cleaning solution such as Polident will help them stay as clean and functional as possible! READ MORE
