Dr. James Eric Hibbs DDS's Expert Contributions
What are the treatment options for a wisdom tooth cavity?
It depends on the particular tooth and its prognosis for staying healthy in the mouth. Some wisdom teeth should just be extracted, others could have a filling to repair a cavity. In more severe cases, a wisdom tooth may require a root canal or crown, or both. READ MORE
Do some dentists do unnecessary fillings?
It can happen. It may be best to get a second opinion for any planned dental treatment. READ MORE
Are you put to sleep for dental implant surgery?
Sometimes you are put to sleep, sometimes not. It generally is not required, however many people/surgeons prefer it. READ MORE
Can I drink water after putting in Invisalign?
You should be able to drink water without any problems. READ MORE
What happens if I smoke after getting dental implants?
Hopefully nothing will happen, however, smoking has been linked to increased likelihood of poor or delayed healing around the implant, and questionable long-term success. READ MORE
How long does an implant last?
There is no set time an implant is expected to last, as there are many health related factors that cannot always be controlled. However, with good periodontal and overall health, an implant can last a lifetime. READ MORE
Are silver fillings safe?
According to the American dental association, silver fillings are safe. However, they are not done as often now because of improvements in composite fillings. READ MORE
Why does my tooth hurt after my filling?
This is fairly common, especially in a young person. Give it time and it should gradually get better. Sensitivity toothpaste can help this. READ MORE

Yes, most whitening toothpastes from reputable brands are safe for enamel when used properly. READ MORE
Are black spots on teeth always cavities?
No, black spots on teeth aren't always cavities, sometimes they are only stains. However, they are often cavities and should be checked. READ MORE
What is the best way to treat a cavity?
Usually, the best way to treat a cavity is to have the decay cleaned out and a filling placed. READ MORE
How long does a dental filling take?
It depends on the size and type of filling and whether or not you will need to be numb. In general, you can expect about 30 minutes. READ MORE
Why do my teeth hurt after eating sweets?
Typically because you have a cavity or gum recession with exposed sensitive roots. READ MORE
Drinking coffee after having wisdom teeth removed?

Do cavities get worse if untreated?
Yes, cavities usually do get worse if left untreated. J. Eric Hibbs, DDS, MAGD READ MORE
How many dental implants can you have?
If the bone and other conditions are suitable, there is no set limit on how many implants you can have placed in one visit. READ MORE
Is it unusual for a crown to fall out?
Crowns do occasionally come loose for a variety of reasons. I would see a dentist asap about having the crown cemented back on the tooth. READ MORE
Is fluoride toothpaste safe?
Yes, but it is best not to swallow any of it. READ MORE
Can root canal treatments cause diseases?
The idea that root canals can directly cause disease has not been proven. READ MORE
How often should I have my teeth whitened?
It depends on the type of whitening, but generally every 3-6 months should be reasonable. READ MORE
