  • Why Do I Need A Crown?

    Photo: Tooth needs a crown (left)/Tooth is lost due to crack (right)People are told all the time by their dentist that they have a tooth that should be crowned (capped is the same thing) and often they never really get an adequate explanation for this recommendation. It is important for the patient...

  • Why are my teeth decaying so fast?

    Tooth decay is more of a problem for some people more than others. Everyone's teeth are different and some are more porous and susceptible to decay than other. Of course, your intake of sugar can be a major factor along with how well and how often you clean your teeth. You should clean your teeth at least 3 times a day if you have decay problems along with minimizing sticky and sugary foods. There are tooth pastes like "MI paste" that remineralize your teeth and help prevent or even reverse tooth decay if you have a small or just developing cavity. Many times you can have gum recession that exposes the root of your tooth that can cause it to become sensitive to cold especially. That sensitivity can be mistaken for a cavity by many people even though there is no decay just sensitivity from the root being exposed (roots have nerve endings in them). If you are prone to decay it is very important to see your dentist at least 2 times a year, perhaps even more often. READ MORE

  • What can I eat before a bone graft?

    Bone graft surgery is like most other oral surgeries. It is best to eat well 2 hours before the appointment as it may be important to refrain from eating after the appointment for a while and stay to soft/mushy food for days. If you are having any kind of general anesthesia, it is important to check with your surgeon as to when it is appropriate to eat (possibly several hours before so you don't get nauseous). READ MORE

  • What is a mini tooth implant?

    A mini implant is as the name implies: a small implant. It is used mostly to anchor a denture in your mouth. They are placed in the bone and there is an attachment at the top that allows a full denture to "snap" onto the implant and be anchored so it doesn't move. Mini implants have been used to place a tooth on it to replace a missing tooth, but that is a little more controversial and needs to be considered with caution. READ MORE

  • Should I get a second opinion about having a root canal?

    Most root canals are diagnosed because of the presence of symptoms such as pain to cold, biting or heat. At times, the need for a root canal can be diagnosed on an X-ray due to visible infection or large amounts of decay. If there is ever a question as to your need for treatment, getting a second opinion from a trusted practitioner is a reasonable option. READ MORE
