Should I go to the doctor if my gums are swollen?
You are describing Gingivitis and Periodontal disease. If you want to save your teeth and be in good overall health, a dentist is who you should see. READ MORE
Do adults need dental sealants?
It's possible. Especially if you have poor oral hygiene and your diet consists of high carbohydrates. READ MORE
How can I fix a gap in my front teeth without braces?
Crowns, veneers or bonding. But depending on the size of the gap in your teeth, these options might make your teeth look too big for your face. READ MORE
Why do my gums bleed during dental scraping?
Because your gums are inflammed from the bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria ellict the inflammation response via Cytokines and interlukins. This is why regular dental cleanings are so important not only to reduce bacterial load but reduce inflammation. READ MORE

Why do my gums hurt after a deep cleaning?

How do I brush my receding gums?

Can wisdom teeth cause ear pain?
Yes READ MORE
Are deep cleanings worth it?
Only if you want to prevent bone loss, and eventually losing your teeth. The bacteria under your gums has been linked to systemic health problems. Problems like increased risk of Covid infection, Endocarditis, increased risk of heart disease, increased risk of Pancreatic cancer. So removing that bactrria is a healthy choice. Periodontal disease causes chronic inflammation which is not limited to the oral cavity, So is it worth it? If you value being in good health and wanting to avoid a loss of quality of your life than yes. On the other hand if you are cool with losing teeth, putting yourself at higher risk for chronic health problems and a declining quality of health/ life then, then no. READ MORE
How do you treat a deep pocket in your gums?
Typically with a procedure called scaling and root planning. More frequent trips to the dentist, and possibly doxycycline for a few months. READ MORE
What is the most painful dental procedure?
Anything without anesthesia........ READ MORE
How long should I wear my teeth bleaching trays?
Typically an hour READ MORE
Can a top tooth make a bottom tooth hurt?
Definitely. You should contact your dentist for an occlusal adjustment. READ MORE
Can you have a sensitive tooth without a cavity?
Yes. Gum recession exposing root surfaces or a crack can cause sensitivity. READ MORE
Do I need braces if only one tooth is crooked?
Maybe. You may need bracrs or clear aligner trays. It really depends on how crooked it is. Other options may include a cosmetic crown or bonding. What has your dentist recommended? READ MORE
How do you know when a cavity is really bad?
Honestly cavities are never good. So they by default are always bad. That being said some cavities I've seen in patients thay ate huge can little discomfort and small cavities can cause massive pain. Pain seems to be what most patients gauge on how " bad " the cavity is. Just get it fixed sooner rather than later READ MORE
