Are electric toothbrushes any better for the teeth?

Not really. If you brush properly, there is no need for electric toothbrush.

How should I select my toothpaste?

As long as there is fluoride in the toothpaste, the brand is your preference for taste and feel.

Will frequent teeth cleanings remove spots from my teeth?

If they are internal and part of your enamel, then no. Cleaning removes only superficial surface stains like tea and coffee.

Are OTC products recommended for teeth whitening?

They are not harmful (that we know of), but also not as effective as professional strength products.

I had a root canal and the same tooth is hurting again. What should I do?

Go back and tell the dentist who did the root canal that there is still pain in the tooth. Root canals are not 100 % successful in the best of scenarios.

What if only one tooth is crooked?

You need space to move a tooth. If there is no space, braces and shifting of all teeth is necessary to position one crooked tooth into place Sincerely Marina Polonsky polonmar@gmail.com READ MORE
