How do you clean under a dental bridge?
A bridge threader works like a needle threader. You thread the dental floss through the loop of the bridge threader and insert the tip between the bridge teeth and pull the floss through. Then proceed to floss each tooth and direct the floss under the false tooth from front to back. Drug stores may care bridge threaders or your dentist or hygienist can help you. READ MORE
My son is a year old, and isn't teething. Is this abnormal?
Teeth eruption varies greatly from child to child. A simple X-ray can identify the location of the teeth, but I would recommend waiting 3 months before seeing a dentist. The teeth will likely erupt within that time. READ MORE
Does a root canal take longer to heal for a diabetic?
