  • Avoid Succumbing to These Five Temptations For Optimum Oral Health

    Would you agree that there are few things more dazzling than a stunning smile? Most of us love the idea of being able to showcase the kind of pearly whites that light up a room, and obtaining optimum oral health is a welcome companion of such radiance. That's why we floss, attend teeth cleaning...

  • How can I clean my dentures?

    Hey there! Cleaning your dentures isn't too tricky. Just follow these steps: Start by filling the sink with water or laying down a towel – it'll save your dentures if they slip! Give them a good rinse to get rid of any food bits. Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub them. Regular toothpaste is too rough, so go for a mild soap or special denture cleaner. If you use adhesive, get into those grooves to clean out any leftover gunk. Rinse them again after brushing. Pop them in a soaking solution or plain water (be sure to check directions for the recommended soak time). If you're unsure about which solution to use, check with your dentist. In the morning, rinse them off before putting them back in. That's it! And remember, a regular dentist visit helps keep them in tip-top shape. READ MORE

  • Can I chew gum with dentures?

    Absolutely! You can use mouthwash with dentures. Just remember to take your dentures out and give them a separate cleaning. Using mouthwash for your natural tissues can help keep your mouth fresh. If you want to freshen up the dentures, you can soak them in a denture-cleaning solution. Just always be sure not to use anything too abrasive on the dentures themselves. READ MORE

  • How can I straighten my teeth fast?

    Dental care and treatment should always prioritize patient health and safety. When it comes to orthodontic corrections, achieving desired results can be a combination of the patient's unique dental situation, the method chosen, and the desired speed of the treatment. While there are options that may expedite the straightening process, it's crucial to be informed of the potential pros and cons. Here are some methods that can lead to faster results: Accelerated Orthodontics: This method involves a combination of traditional braces and procedures that stimulate the bones in the mouth. It can reduce treatment time, but it's essential to consult with an orthodontist to determine if it's suitable for you. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign): While not necessarily faster than traditional braces for everyone, clear aligners can be a quicker solution for individuals with minor misalignments. Surgical Orthodontics: This is an invasive procedure where the jaw bones are surgically realigned to expedite the orthodontic process. It's typically reserved for severe cases and comes with longer recovery times. Please consult with a dental care health professional to select the best treatment option for you. READ MORE

  • Is it okay to have jaw pain after a root canal?

    Hi, Jaw pain is not abnormal after a root canal given that the mouth is usually open for a significant amount of time during the procedure. If the discomfort does not resolve with pain meds please see your dentist for an evaluation as it could be something more serious. READ MORE

  • Is saltwater rinse good after tooth extraction?

    Hi, Yes salt water rinse is a great regiment after a tooth extraction. However it is advised to avoid rinsing for 24 hours immediately following tooth extraction to avoid disrupting clot formation. For further details and other dental questions follow the podcast “Mouth Mechanics”. READ MORE

  • Is a dental implant better than a bridge?

    Hi, This is a great question. In most instances the implant is a better option. Again it depends on the dental scenario. Implants are great replacement options because they are independent, making it a great conservative option. However, bone density, health, home care are just some of the considerations that are taken into account if a patient is a good candidate for implant. Please listen in on our podcast “Mouth Mechanics” for additional information on this topic and other dental topics. READ MORE

  • What can I eat with Invisalign?

    Hi, Invisalign has many advantages and one is that you can eat pretty much what you normally ate before Invisalign…taking into account that your diet is a healthy one. Because you would remove your Invisalign aligners prior to eating, you may resume your regular diet. Just take caution if any attachments were placed, if so avoid really hard foods. Please listen in on our podcast “Mouth Mechanics” for further details on this topic and other dental topics. READ MORE

  • Does pericoronitis go away with antibiotics?

    Hi, Pericornitis is the inflammation of the gum tissue around the wisdom teeth. This inflammation can be caused by bacteria in which case an antibiotic would help. I would encourage you to see your dental professional to accurately diagnose for proper treatment. For additional information on this topic and other dental topics please listen in on our podcast “Mouth Mechanics” READ MORE

  • How do you clean your teeth under veneers?

    Hello, You asked how to clean under veneers. Since veneers are applied with a bonding cement and sealed around the margins, you should not be able to get underneath the veneers. The best way I suggest to my patients is the use of a water pik and electric toothbrush. Daily use of fluoride rinses in addition to fluoridated toothpaste is also highly recommended. With routine dental visits at least twice a year should aid in maintaining your veneers for many years to come. READ MORE

  • Is it okay to drink alcohol with braces?

    Yes, it is ok to drink alcohol with braces. However, with any beverage that contains sugar, you must be diligent with your oral hygiene home care routine. I can not stress enough to stick to a strict brushing and flossing regime, especially while in braces. Braces make it challenging to maintain excellent oral hygiene. So while you are enjoying your alcoholic beverage just be mindful to keep up with your oral hygiene routine. One more important tip is to incorporate a fluoride treatment. The fluoride could be as simple as a 30-60sec over-the-counter rinse or a prescription dispensed by your dental care provider. READ MORE

  • What goes on top of an implant?

    Hello! Once the healing or integration of an implant has completed, usually between 3-6 month, the next stage is the restoration. This is referred to as the crown, if it is a single implant. If multiple implants are to be restored, in lieu of crowns it could be a bridge or denture that will be on top of the implants. I hope this helps. READ MORE

  • How long do crowns last on front teeth?

    The longevity of crowns varies. There are many factors that will shorten the lifespan of crowns. One contributing factor that will shorten the lifespan of any crown is poor hygiene. Under the crown is tooth structure that can still decay or succumb to bone loss. With great home care and routine dental check-ups, a crown can last for many years. READ MORE

  • Does a front tooth root canal need a crown?

    Often times a front tooth requires a root canal as a result of trauma. In instances where the trauma has not compromised the structure of the front tooth, a crown is often not required. However, if a significant amount of tooth structure has been compromised by decay, or fracture then covering the tooth after root canal treatment is ideal. READ MORE

  • Do crowns on front teeth look natural?

    Yes, there are crowns that can be placed on front teeth to look natural. I advise scheduling an appointment with your dentist for consultation to discuss your expectations and review the different types of materials used for front teeth crowns to select which would best suit you. READ MORE
