How long will your teeth last without brushing?
Not advised you don't brush, but that being said, it depends on the persons genetic makeup. Some people can get away with not brushing and still not develop decay or gum problems. It is uncommon. For most people it may take years for the bone attachments to break down to the point where teeth are lost. READ MORE
Can you get dental implants if you have bone loss?
Yes, depending on the situation, you may need a bone graft to rebuild the ridge or a hybrid type of implant (like a mini implant). READ MORE
Is Water Flossing better than Air Flossing?
Definitely yes, especially if one uses a therapeutic rinsing agent. READ MORE

How long does it take for a cavity to destroy a tooth?
It can vary depending upon a variety of factors. Under normal circumstances, a patient with a normal immune system, adequate hygiene, and average diet, it takes about 1 - 1 1/2 years for the cavity to break through the enamel. At that point the patient needs a filling. Changes in diet, stress, health and others can accelerate the process. Once into dentin, the cavity process speeds up READ MORE
What can be done for missing back teeth?
Missing back teeth can be replaced with partials, bridges, and implants. It depends on where the missing teeth are, the bone health, overall health, and patient finances. I don't recommend replacing 2nd or 3rd molars if you can maintain the first molars. The cheapest way to replace back teeth is with a removable partial denture. READ MORE
Do dental implants require special care?
Yes, gum care is essential to maintain an implant in the mouth. The patient should see the dentist at least every 6 months (or more if a gum problem exists). READ MORE
How do you stop dental implants from getting infected?
Follow a good oral health program that you and your dentist go over. Adequate home hygiene goes a long way to keep implants healthy READ MORE
What is good for sore gums from dentures?
See your dentist to have the area that is causing the irritation adjusted. It is possible that the denture may be too loose and needs a reline. OTC ointments like ambusol or zilactin can relieve pain temporarily. READ MORE
How do you get rid of plaque below the gum line?
Using a good ultrasonic toothbrush helps a lot. In most cases you need to use a therapeutic rinse to saturate the area READ MORE
Can you fight a tooth infection without antibiotics?
You can up to a point. There are a few natural supplements that can fight infections such as Quercetin, Vit C, oregano etc But if it gets out of hand I would not hesitate to use an antibiotic READ MORE
Can you drink after jaw surgery?
For most surgeries, yes you can sip on ice water, Don't drink through a straw. It is best if you wait a while after surgery before drinking so you do not dissolve the clot. For major surgeries, that is entirely up to your surgeon READ MORE
What happens if you never floss?
You could develop gum disease between your teeth and lose bone READ MORE
Why do dentists drill before filling?
Most cavities undermine the enamel and it is not possible to reach the decay without drilling through the enamel. READ MORE
