Dr. Jonathan Mark Engel DDS's Expert Contributions
  • Can you get dental anesthesia for a filling?

    All dentists can help you with local anesthesia. If you are talking about general anesthesia you can but there is an expense to it and always a risk. Talk to your dentist about your options. Jon Engel DDS READ MORE

  • Do fillings make your teeth stronger?

    Wow, this is a great question and very easy and hard to answer. First, as a dentist who believes in prevention there is nothing better than your own god given teeth. Having said that, cavities and accidents happen. For the record, the silver amalgam fillings weaken teeth. Small conservative tooth colored fillings may provide the best protection, the larger any filling gets the less protection of the tooth it provides, which is why large fillings become crowns and the continued path of needing dentistry continues.

  • How do you get rid of gum pain from wisdom teeth?

    Usually removal of the wisdom teeth is the first step READ MORE

  • Can I brush my teeth after dental implants?

    There are different types of implants and different types of restorations on them. Your dentist should be happy to go over all the different ways you can keep your mouth clean, including tooth brush and tooth brush heads. I am also a big fan of softpicks and flossing, among others Jon Engel READ MORE

  • What happens if you leave teeth whitening gel on too long?

    All the gels I know off will lose their efficiency so I don’t know if leaving too long is an issue except in the beginning. It might cause more sensitivity than you might otherwise encounter. READ MORE

  • How do dentists professionally whiten teeth?

    There are different ways. Take home trays and/or in office whitening. There are a few different in office systems using different products and some may use a light to activate it. READ MORE

  • What to do if part of your tooth breaks off?

    Without knowing who, what, where, when, and why, I would definitely go see your dentist immediately. These breaks don’t happen without a reason. It could be a cavity, a large filling that broke, or tooth structure. It could also be from grinding. Pain does not have to be a must in order for you to have a significant problem. Jon Engel, DDS READ MORE

  • Why would you need a second root canal on the same tooth?

    There can be a few reasons, but the most common reason is that previous root canal is not working for some reason. Root canals are like voodoo: sometimes, they can look great on an X-ray, but still fail or look horrible on an X-ray and work. Understand if you have an issue with chronic inflammation (the most common issue with a failed root canal), you put your overall health at risk if you don’t treat it. Chronic inflammation is a major root issue of all health problems. Jon Engel READ MORE

  • Is it ok to brush teeth with baking soda with braces?

    I personally like baking soda because it is the opposite of acidic, it is basic and your mouth hates anything acidic…everything bad happens in an acidic environment. I personally use Common Sense tooth powder, which has baking soda as its bulk. You can also use Arm and Hammer baking soda toothpaste. Jonathan Engel, DDS READ MORE

  • Are bone grafts necessary after a tooth extraction?

    The research is pretty clear that bone grafts do allow for better long term prognosis of the area and will help allow for an implant placement later. Having said that is it absolutely necessary, only the examining dentist can tell you that for sure. READ MORE

  • How do you close a gap in your teeth with rubber bands?

    Please don’t try and move your teeth yourself. There are so many biological reasons for this. See a dentist. READ MORE

  • What to do if you have no enamel on your teeth?

    It all depends on where the enamel loss is. Ranges from bonding to crowns to a complete full mouth reconstruction. Jon Engel DDS READ MORE

  • How can I remove calculus from my teeth at home?

    In all honesty the work for the patient at home is to have excellent hygiene and see the hygienist on a regular basis so she can remove the tarter build up if there is any. You could always ask your hygienist if they have old instruments but I don’t know if they would give to you since you have no training in using them.. I wish I could give you a better answer, but once you have tarter, generally the professional has to remove it. Jon Engel READ MORE

  • How can I strengthen my gums?

    This is a great question and something I am most passionate about. The most important step is first making sure you have had a good professional hygiene visit to make sure that your gums can start to heal. If you have tarter or active gum disease, you need to have professional help to remove as much of the reasons for the gum disease. For home care, it is not about average or good, you have to have excellent home care. That means using a sonicare or oral b mechanical tooth brush for at least 2 minutes 2 times a day and use it properly. It means flossing or soft picking at least once a day. It could also mean using Dakins solution as a rinse 3 times a week to help weaken and dilute the biofilm so the bacteria are free flowing in your mouth (they only do good and not bad that way). Remember, if your gums bleed when you brush, floss, or use softpicks, you have gum disease. READ MORE

  • How do dentists fix cavity on side of tooth?

    Depending on the filling size and location the treatment can vary. However, the standard of care of a filling on the side of the tooth is to remove the decayed tooth structure, and fill, usually with a tooth colored material. READ MORE

  • What is a fixed dental bridge?

    A fixed dental bridge is something that is placed in your mouth (cemented or bonded) meaning you can’t put it in and take it out. It Usually involves on crwons on the teeth to hold the bridge. A removable bridge would be a partial that is made of acrylic maybe with a metal infrastructure. It doesn’t require crowns on teeth to hold it in, but generally isn’t as good as a fixed bridge. Jon Engel READ MORE

  • Can I get a filling if I am pregnant?

    The general rule of thumb is usually the middle trimester is best, but you still need your OBGYN to say it’s ok. If it isn’t an emergency sometimes I prefer to wait. READ MORE

  • How long do composite fillings last on back teeth?

    It varies on the size of the filling, the function of the tooth, bad habits, hygiene and the skill of the dentist. READ MORE

  • How long do composite fillings last?

    This is a loaded question. Where in the mouth is it, is it a large or a small filling, will it be under a lot of function, do you grind or clench your teeth, how is your home care, how is your diet and list goes on. I would like you to know it doesn’t matter how good your dentist is, if you don’t do the very best job with everything that you should be doing then you will increase the likelihood of failure sooner than later. Jon Engel, DDS READ MORE

  • Should I brush my teeth after a filling?

    Yes, you should brush your teeth with proper technique at least 2 times a day unless told otherwise by your dentist READ MORE
