Can an electric toothbrush damage braces?
Hello, Electric toot brushes cannot damage braces unless you are too hard and banging into your braces constantly. The act of just brushing with an electric brush is safe on braces! Dr. Abdoll READ MORE
Can I eat chocolate after a tooth extraction?
You sure can. A few tips: * Dark chocolate is better and healthier * Chew it on the other side of extractions. If all wisdom teeth are extracted, then use the front teeth to bite and let it melt. * You can brush it off your teeth gently afterwards. Hope this helps, Dr. Abdoll READ MORE
Will I feel anything during dental anesthesia?
Technically, no. You shouldn't feel anything because you are under anesthesia. Occasionally people do report that they have heard conversations or felt pressure but its very rare as well. There are different techniques and levels of anesthesia so ask your provider how deep is the anesthesia that they will provide? Thank you, Dr. Abdoll READ MORE
Can I use dental floss for my 4 year old?
Yes, please do. ADA recommends to floss teeth when teeth begin to touch regardless of age. On the younger ones, I recommend to use floss picks. It makes it easier on everyone. Thx, Dr. Abdoll READ MORE
What is the best way to remove stuck food particles in children's teeth?
Hello, Great question! The short answer is no there is no other way, brushing and flossing is the best way. It is very typical of kids that age to be fussy and be combative. My recommendation is to be creative with this task. There are several books and cartoons that talk about teeth and brushing which for kids brain is helpful in emulating. Trying making it a game, tell a story, reward them for allowing it. If these don't work, then you may try sitting down on the floor and have them between your legs gently holding them and brush their teeth. The key is to be persistent every night after a while they will cooperate. Best of luck. Dr. Abdoll READ MORE
