Dr. L Todd Iverson DDS's Expert Contributions
Does a filling weaken a tooth?
Anytime we remove tooth structure it weakens the tooth. READ MORE
Do you have to wear a retainer after Invisalign?
Yes or your teeth will begin to shift from position. Takes 2 to 3 years for the fibers around the tooth to reorganize READ MORE
How do you relieve pain from a dental bridge?
Go back to the dentist that delivered the bridge. A crown or bridge should never hurt after delivery READ MORE
Do red gums mean infection?

How long does your face stay swollen after wisdom teeth removal?

How do you brush after getting crowns?
The same way you would brush prior to crowns READ MORE
Can I drink coffee after teeth bonding?
Yes. READ MORE
What home remedy can I use to tighten my teeth?
None. READ MORE
What happens if you use whitening toothpaste every day?
Never use whitening tooth paste. The "whitener" is usually baking soda which is to abrasive on the enamel and can remove tooth structure. Get bleaching trays or the crest whitening strips. READ MORE
Why do dentists drill before filling?
We need to remove the decay in the tooth prior to placing the filling. READ MORE
Can adults get Invisalign?
Yes. READ MORE
What is good for sore gums from dentures?
If it’s just one or two high spots, the dentist can remove some acrylic in those areas. If multiple, the denture may need the entire acrylic reclined. READ MORE
Will my teeth fall out from receding gums?
The “gums” actually just follow the height of the bone, so you are losing the bone around the teeth. If not managed, it could lead to mobility and loss of teeth. Get a sonicare toothbrush and get your teeth professionally cleaned. READ MORE
How does the dentist treat sensitive teeth?
Try sensodyne toothpaste. It takes 2 weeks to start to feel the effects, and if you stop using it, the effects wear off, but it’s a good toothpaste. Severe cases, we increase the gums in that area to cover the root of the tooth. READ MORE
Do dental sealants need to be reapplied?
I do not love sealants unless placed by a pediatric dentist. A poorly place sealant is 10 times worse than no sealant at all. They leak and we dentists can’t tell until the cavity is large. I’m not putting sealants in any of my children. READ MORE
What toothpaste is best for enamel restoration?
Any toothpaste with Fluoride. Once the enamel is lost, it is never "restored,” the fluoride just stops the hole from getting bigger. Never use a toothpaste that says “whitening.” They generally have baking soda in them and actually take away enamel because they're too abrasive. READ MORE
How do you clean under an implant bridge?
Get interdental/proxy brushes. They look like a glorified pipe cleaner. Bend the brush to 90 degrees and clean under the implants READ MORE
Is deep cleaning the same as scaling and root planing?
Yes READ MORE
How do you stop nerve pain in your tooth?
By either a root canal or extracting the tooth READ MORE
Do dental implants require special care?
They require the same care as your teeth. We need to keep the bone healthy so brush and floss around the implants READ MORE
