  • Stress and Oral Health

    We often hear: “Stress ruins your health” or “Stress is a source of many diseases”. Being a health care professional for over 25 years I could not agree more.What is stress exactly?By definition stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It is our body’s reaction to a challenge...

  • How long does a root planing and scaling take?

    Appointment time depends on how many quarters will be done on the one sitting, how deep are your pockets, and how much calculus/debris is on your teeth. READ MORE

  • What is the procedure for applying braces?

    Placing on braces is an easy process. We use special glue to attach each individual bracket to the separate tooth. Some doctors use special trays where several brackets can be attached at the same time. Most practices will apply your lower and upper braces at the same appointment. Some practitioners will do just one arch at the time depending on preference and severity of the case. At the end of an appointment, wire is attached to the brackets. To hold wire engaged in the bracket, we use a different color of elastomerics. Some brackets have a special gate to hold the wire. Your wire will need to be changed every 4-8 weeks while brackets stay till the end of the treatment. Monika Tyszkowski, DDS READ MORE

  • Why do my gums hurt so bad after getting my brackets changed?

    Changing brackets position accelerates tooth movement. Gum pain is a reaction to the forces of the tooth movement on the tooth ligaments that are located in the gums. Discomfort should go away in about 24-48 hours. Monika Tyszkowski, DDS READ MORE

  • Is it normal for gums to bleed after a crown?

  • How do they remove wisdom teeth under the gum?

    Surgical extraction is done under local or general anesthesia. Gum covering the tooth is opened and tooth underneath removed using elevators and forceps or cut in smaller pieces and then removed. The gum is sutured and left for healing. Monika Tyszkowski, DDS READ MORE

  • Does dry socket need antibiotics?

    Very often dry sockets require antibiotics. It starts from losing part or whole blood clot from the extraction site. Very aggressive oral bacteria get inside the wound and cause inflammation of the jaw bone. Every dry socket should be checked by your dentist/oral surgeon, cleaned and rinsed so the new blood clot can form and protect the bone. I will highly suggest contacting your surgeon as soon as possible to avoid further complications. Monika Tyszkowski, DDS READ MORE

  • How long should your jaw hurt after a tooth extraction?
