Dr. Mathew L. Stewart D.M.D.'s Expert Contributions
Why do I need a root canal?
I would think of a root canal as a routine dental procedure. I would think of it as if you were getting a normal filling that just takes a little longer. However you prepare for a filling is how I would prepare. No special preparation is needed. READ MORE
Do new dentures hurt?
This is normal. It is acrylic on skin which can lead to incredible sore spots. These can be adjusted away until comfortable. Discussion with your dentist should allow them to adjust as necessary until you are happy with the final result. READ MORE
Does my son need antibiotics after extraction?
Unless there is a current infection present I would not say they are necessary. I would discuss this with the treating dentist for more information if necessary. READ MORE
Does dental deep cleaning hurt?
This procedure is in and of itself not painful because you will be anesthetize for the procedure. You may be sore for 3-5 days following treatment however. READ MORE
Can I drink water after wisdom teeth removal?
You can drink water following this treatment. READ MORE
When can I start brushing my teeth after wisdom tooth removal?
You can brush your teeth right away. It is recommended you avoid brushing the area of surgery however for approximately 1 week. READ MORE
Do they put you to sleep for a root canal?
Typically you will not be out under for this. You will be anesthetized so as to not feel any pain, however, you will remain awake for this procedure. READ MORE
How often should crowns be replaced?
This will only need to be replaced if they fail. A failure is characterized by a crown that has broken or a cavity begins to form underneath it. The average crown lasts 10 years in the United States, however, it is not uncommon for a crown to last 30+ years. READ MORE
How long should it hurt after a tooth extraction?
The worst pain is present on days 2-3. They pain should remit after days 3-5. Minimal if any pain should be present following 7-10 days. READ MORE
Is a teeth cleaning by a dentist necessary?
In my opinion they are. Your gums extend 3mm to where they attach to the tooth. The typical tooth brush will reach 1-1.5mm deep. This leaves 1.5-2mm uncleaned. Dental cleanings clean this area. Additionally it is good to get an exam during this time to catch any issues which may be present before they become a larger problem. READ MORE
How do you get rid of cavities naturally?
Unfortunately there are no ways to remove a cavity naturally. If it is small treatment with fluoride or silver diamond fluoride can stop the cavity from getting larger but this is only applicable in certain cases. READ MORE
What's the longevity of a dental crown?
The average dental crown lasts 10 years in the United States. READ MORE
How do dental onlays differ from crowns?
Onlays differ from dental crowns in that they are much more conservative and save healthy tooth structure. You still get the benifit of chapel coverage while keeping as much tooth as possible. READ MORE
How often do I need to get the crowns on my teeth replaced?
You will only need to get these replaced if you get a cavity underneath them. The average lifespan of a crown is 10 years in the United States but they can last up to 30 or 40 if done right. READ MORE
What is the best way to replace a missing tooth?
The best means of replacing a tooth would be to get an implant with a porcelain crown on top of it. The second best is something called a bridge. The third best is a removable partial denture. I hope this helps. READ MORE
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge places crowns on existing teeth and connects them to look like there is a tooth in place of the tooth that is missing. READ MORE
Is it possible to have a cavity without tooth pain?
Yes. This is possible. Most times you do not have pain with a cavity. If you do have pain it is usually a sign that the cavity is large and nearing the nerve. READ MORE
Do I need antibiotics for a tooth extraction?
This depends on a case to case basis. I usually give antibiotics if the tooth is infected or if bone is manipulated. I will put my patients on antibiotics for 1 week. READ MORE
How often do I need a dental cleaning?
This differs from person to person but 6 months is the average time we recommend that people come in for cleanings. 1 year for exams. READ MORE
How can gingivitis be treated?
The best means for treatment would be a proper dental cleaning at which time homecare should be discussed for proper technique to prevent this from recurring. READ MORE
