Should partial dentures be kept in water?
Partial dentures should be kept in water or a denture solution overnight to help clean and keep them from dehydrating. READ MORE
Do cavities spread from tooth to tooth?
No. Usually cavities start in between the teeth due to lack of flossing, diet, brushing habits, etc. Sometimes one tooth can be more affected than the other or the other may be slower to exhibit signs of decay. READ MORE
What should I do if my dentures feel loose?
You should visit your regular dentist and have what's called a reline done. Over the years, gum tissue shrinks after the teeth are removed and the denture has to have acrylic added to it for them to fit the new shape of the gum tissues. It's common for people to have this done every 3-10 years. READ MORE
When is a root canal recommended?
A root canal is needed when the nerve of the tooth is dying or has died. It can happen for a number of reasons; trauma to the tooth, very deep cavities, cracked tooth, spontaneous nerve death, etc. Usually the tooth will start having a lot of pain and that's most peoples indication there's something wrong. Its good to have 6 month check ups to help prevent root canals as best as possible. READ MORE
How do you get rid of yellow teeth from smoking?
You can try whitening toothpastes, crest strips or baking soda once a week. The best and quickest way to whiten your teeth is having a cleaning done at the dental office and then have an in-office whitening treatment like Zoom. READ MORE
Are you asleep during wisdom teeth removal?
Wisdom teeth removal can happen under local anesthetic (numbing), oral sedation (awake but will not remember), IV Sedation (Twilight, barely awake), or fully intubated sedation (Asleep). The cost goes up the more asleep you are for the treatment. Full intubation must be performed in a hospital setting. So the answer to your question is yes, if that is what you are willing to pay for. READ MORE
How long will jaw hurt after tooth extraction?
Generally, the jaw can hurt from two to seven days depending on how difficult the extraction was and whether or not there was an infection was present. There is no need to worry as long as the pain is reduces every day. Make an appointment to see your dentist if the pain gets worse or if you start to swell. READ MORE
Is getting a dental bridge painful?
Getting a bridge is just like getting a filling or a crown. You get numb and it does not hurt. It is considered a routine treatment.. READ MORE
Can you fix an open bite without jaw surgery?
The answer to this question depends on the severity of the open bite. Minor open bites can be fixed with crowns or other restorative procedures. More severe cases can be fixed with orthodontics (Braces). Finally, very severe cases will need surgery for correction. Bottom line is that if you are not certain or concerned, you should get a second opinion before doing surgery. READ MORE
How long should a tooth hurt after a deep filling?
Time varies on how long a tooth should be sensitive after a deep filling. Generally, they can be sensitive for up to a month. The important thing to look for is to see if your symptoms are getting worse. You should have your tooth looked at if you are having lingering pain after hot or cold stimulation, spontaneous pain or ache. READ MORE
Can dental implants reverse bone loss?
The answer is no. You must have enough bone in the area that you want to get an implant prior to placing one. You will have to have a bone graft in the area of the missing tooth if you do not have adequate bone in the area. READ MORE
How long do porcelain crowns last?
Porcelain crowns are designed to last a lifetime if they are cared for properly. There are some major factors that can impact this expectation. The skill of the dentist preparing the tooth for the crown is the most important factor. Poor preparation of the crown means an ill-fitting crown and ultimately failure. The quality of the materials used is also important. Cheap materials for production of the crown or cementing the crown will result in premature failure of the crown. Finally, poor home care of the crown can result in recurrent cavities around the crown and ultimately failure of the crown. Bottom line is you get what you pay for so don't go for the cheapest crown out there. Chances are they are cheaper because they are not spending the right amount of time on the preparation or they are using cut rate labs or material. Good Luck! READ MORE
How long does the pain last after wisdom tooth extraction?
The answer depends on how it is hurting. It is surgery so pain is expected for up to a week after treatment. Antibiotics and pain medications are usually given to make this period more comfortable. You should definitely see your dentist if you notices significant swelling, redness, bruising, and high temperature. We usually have the patients come in after a week for suture removal and check. READ MORE
How long after a permanent crown can I eat?
The answer depends on the kind of cement used to place it. You can eat on it right away if the crown is bonded on with a resin cement. Most other cements take about an hour to set, however we like the patient to wait at least a day before eating normally just to be safe. READ MORE
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
It should only take a few days to recover from a tooth extraction, provided that you are in relatively good health. It will take about a month for the hole to close and about a year for the bone to fully recover. READ MORE
How do you stop gum pain from gingivitis?
The solution is a simple one. Get a profession teeth cleaning by a dental hygienist and then follow the home care instructions given. The pain should go away in a few days as long as you don't have a bigger gum issue. READ MORE
