How do you know when a cavity is really bad?
Generally, as a cavity gets "bad" or close to the nerve you will start to experience increased sensitivity, such as acute pain to cold or sweets. However, I have plenty of patients who have experienced no sensitivity and the decay is very large. The only true way to know is with a dental exam and recent radiographs. READ MORE
Do dental crowns require anesthesia?
Unless the tooth has had a root canal, it is routine to numb a tooth for a crown preparation. Without local anesthetic, this procedure is very sensitive since it involves removing the outer protective coating (enamel) of the tooth. READ MORE
Why do my teeth hurt after getting new aligners?
Your aligners hurt your teeth for a few days because they are working! The principle behind tooth movement is to apply light force or pressure in the direction you want the tooth to move. It is this pressure that causes tooth sensitivity for a couple of days until it has moved away from the pressure source. READ MORE
Is it normal to have sensitivity after a permanent crown?
Some sensitivity is normal for 1-3 days after a permanent crown is cemented. Normal sensitivity usually includes small "twinges" or "zings" to cold that immediately go away. If at any point you are experiencing truly acute pain, or any dull, lingering pain, you should see your dentist for evaluation. This may indicate that the nerve is not responding well to the treatment and may need a root canal. READ MORE
How do dental inlays differ from crowns?
A dental inlay is a more conservative dental restoration than a crown; therefore, preserving more natural tooth structure. Depending on the size of the cavity, your dentist will recommend either a filling, inlay, onlay or crown based upon the structural support that the tooth needs to help prevent it from cracking. READ MORE
Do small cavities need to be filled?
Maybe. If the cavities are truly small and are still in the outer portion of the tooth (enamel only) then they do not yet need to be filled. If they are at this point, there are options to actually heal the cavities, such as prescription toothpastes with remineralization compounds, or resin infiltration. If the cavity goes into the inner part of the tooth, which can be seen on a dental x-ray, then they need a filling. READ MORE
What causes sore gums under dentures?
Sore gums can indicate that there is a pressure spot on the denture or that the denture is loose and is not fitting well any longer. You should definitely see a dentist to solve this issue. READ MORE
What can I use for loose dentures?
You can use Poligrip. Dry the denture, place a pea size amount and then seat in the mouth and press down. This will usually keep them in place for a full day. However, if your dentures are loose, it sounds like it might be time for a reline to help them fit more snugly again. Dentures usually need a reline every 3-5 years. READ MORE
Will I have to floss my dentures?
It is not possible to floss dentures since there is acrylic between the teeth. Best practices for keeping a denture clean and smelling nice is to brush the denture with soap and water with a toothbrush at the end of the day and to soak it overnight in a denture cleaner. READ MORE
Should I take antibiotics after having a root canal?
This is dependent upon the tooth. Antibiotics are usually only indicated for dental infection if there is active pus, swelling, a drainage site or fever. READ MORE
Do red gums mean infection?
Gums can be red for a variety of reasons, but regardless of the reason it is signaling inflammation in the area. Some common causes of gum inflammation are: lots of plaque from not brushing or flossing well enough in an area, pregnancy, mouth breathing, gum infection. You should see your regular dentist to help determine the cause in your specific case. READ MORE
How long does your face stay swollen after wisdom teeth removal?
Yes. The worst pain and welling actually occurs between days 2-5 after a surgery. It routinely takes 10-14 days to heal from wisdom tooth removal depending on how invasive of a surgical procedure it was. READ MORE
Is it painful to have a crown put on your tooth?
It is no more painful than having a filling. Your dentist will use local anesthetic to make sure that the tooth is very numb. Once you are numb, there is more drilling than with a filling, but it feels largely the same. There are simply different and more steps to a crown. READ MORE
How long does replacing a filling take?
This depends on how large the filling is. If it is a small, one surface of your tooth filling it will take somewhere between 10-30 minutes. The larger the filling, the longer it takes, but rarely will a filling take longer than 45 minutes. READ MORE
Do dental cysts go away on their own?
Unfortunately, no. This needs treatment with the oral surgeon and should not be delayed. Over time, dental cysts can change and become cancerous, so they require immediate treatment. READ MORE
How do you clean under a dental bridge?
You can use items such as super floss or a floss threader to help get under the bridge. You then move the floss from the front to the back, or vice versa under the fake tooth. You can also use a Waterpik to irrigate the area. READ MORE
How do you treat a pit and fissure cavity?
A pit and fissue cavity is a cavity on the biting surface of the tooth, or in a groove of the tooth. It is repaired the same way as any other cavity. The dentist will open the tooth to remove the damaged portion and then use filling material to fill in the hole. READ MORE
Do you have to go to the dentist for a dry socket?
If you would like treatment for a dry socket, then yes, you will have to go and see your dentist. Without treatment, it will eventually get better but is extremely painful. READ MORE
Can I drink coffee after teeth bonding?
Yes, you can drink coffee. If the bonding is on your front teeth, you just want to be aware that filling or bonding material is more porous than natural tooth, so it will stain more quickly over time. For my patients who have bondings on their front teeth, I recommend drinking coffee, soda, red wine, etc. through a straw to minimize staining. READ MORE
Roof of mouth?
This look like a herpes outbreak. I am so sorry because those are very painful. If you bring this up with your dentist, your dentist can confirm and can potentially give you a prescription for Valtrex to reduce outbreaks and cut down on the amount of time the sores are in your mouth. While you have these sores in your mouth, make sure to refrain from any oral sex since this is transmissible. READ MORE
