Dr. Patricia A. London, DDS's Expert Contributions
What is the procedure for a root canal?
The tooth is anesthetized. An entry hole is made with the drill in the biting surface of the tooth. The canals are filed to remove nerve tissue and debris. The canals are filled. The access hole is restored. The tooth will more often then not require a crown afterwards. Get Outlook for iOS
Are dental sealants good?
Yes they are great. READ MORE
Is Invisalign as good as braces?
Is it "as good". You can get the same results. The positive is you can remove them to brush and keep your teeth cleaner. The negative is it's on you to wear them!! But yes you can get the same results. HOWEVER some tooth movements are too complicated and can't be accomplished with Invisalign. READ MORE
How long is Invisalign treatment?
That is an individualized answer. Some people require 5 aligners. Some require 50. I can't even give you a guesstimate without seeing your teeth. READ MORE
Are partial dentures comfortable?
They are usually like a great pair of new shoes. Just requires a brief adjustment period. READ MORE
What toothbrush to select for a gum recession?
Super soft not just soft. Never medium. Never hard. I personally prefer the Butler Supersoft but there are others. READ MORE
Can I get a crown on the badly damaged tooth?
Your idea of badly damaged and my idea of badly damaged may not be the same. Most but not all teeth can be salvaged. Teeth that should not have a crown are those with periodontal disease, broken off below the gum line, split or fractured in half, or need a root canal and the patient is unwilling to have that done. Hope this helps. READ MORE
How long is recovery after a root canal?
Recovery is sometimes immediate. A posterior tooth with 4 or 5 nerves can take a few hours to complete leaving the patient fatigued and the tmj tender. Get Outlook for iOS
my roof of mouth
Looks like rugae which are normal anatomy. They can get sore if irritated. Get Outlook for iOS
How do you clean partial dentures?
With a stiff tooth brush and toothpaste. Fill the sink with water or a towel in case you drop it. READ MORE
Can I use saltwater rinse after a root canal?
Yes. READ MORE
How long will my partials last?
Depends on how well you take care of them. Or if you lose other teeth. Get Outlook for iOS
Can partials damage the jawbone?
Partials that fit well no. But jaw bone does diminish over time in us all. And a little faster if you wear a partial or denture. Never sleep with it in. This will slow down the process. Get Outlook for iOS
What can't I eat with dentures?
New dentures? Take it slow and easy. Start soft. And add in more textures and chewy foods as you adjust to them. It's like breaking in new shoes that you plan to wear everyday. Then once your mouth is feeling great you can eat anything. The same things that can stain natura teeth can stain dentures. Coffee, blueberries, red wine etc. but clean them and you dont have to avoid those things. Biting into a jaw breaker candy can chip a natural tooth or a denture tooth. Your dentures aren't invincible but they aren't fragile either (unless dropped). Get Outlook for iOS
How long do veneers last?
Longevity is related to how well you take care of them. Brush, floss and get your professional cleanings. Your teeth can still decay if you don't floss. Get a night guard if you are a grinder. Don't eat things that are contraindicated. Wear a mouth guard for contact sports. Get Outlook for iOS
Should partial dentures be kept in water?
Need to be kept moist when not wearing Get Outlook for iOS
Can a root canal cause tooth damage?
Will doing a root canal on a tooth damage it? Not if done properly. Get Outlook for iOS
How can gum recession around crown be fixed?
Sometimes you need a new crown. Sometimes a tissue graft. Will depend on the cause of the recession. Get Outlook for iOS
How painful is a root canal procedure?
Root canals of today are not the root canals of years past and can be done with little to no discomfort. Get Outlook for iOS
How long does a root canal with a crown last?
Indefinitely! Get Outlook for iOS
