Tony Cianfarani's Expert Contributions
  • How long after a root canal can I eat?

    You must avoid eating anything on that tooth for 10 to 14 days. Ideally nothing should be eaten on it until a crown is placed on the tooth. READ MORE

  • Can gingivitis be fixed with a saltwater rinse?

    No. The cause needs to be determined. It is usually caused by bacteria and so a dental cleaning will fix the gingivitis. READ MORE

  • Can 2 implants support 4 teeth?

    It is possible. Need to see which teeth are missing and the bone available- and the size of implants placed. And needs to be properly designed. READ MORE

  • Should I clean partial dentures every day?

    Yes. In fact you should clean your partial dentures after every meal you have. They should be removed and rinsed under water and you should rinse your mouth as well. This will prevent cavities from forming. Your partial dentures should be removed and soaked in Polident or another denture cleaner nightly and not be worn to sleep. READ MORE

  • Why does my crown hurt?

    The crown does not hurt. Either your tooth hurts or the gum/tissue around the crown hurts causing tooth pain. Why did you get a crown? Was is after the tooth got a root canal? OR does the tooth need a root canal? Is there infection in the bone? Does the tooth have a crack(vertical root fracture?)Did something get stuck in the tissue around the crown causing the pain? You need to see a dentist to get the tooth assessed and most likely get an x-ray of the tooth/area. It may even need a 3D-xray(cbct). Many things could have caused this crown to hurt after 2 years of placement. READ MORE

  • Can a gum abscess go away on its own?

    It is possible if the source causing the gum abscess is removed or pops out on its own. READ MORE

  • Can you replace 2 missing teeth with a dental bridge?

    There are many factors that need to be known in order to answer this question. Which 2 teeth are missing? How long is the span of the missing teeth? We need to know which teeth are available on either side of the missing teeth. How loose are these teeth? How much bone loss is present? Implants are usually the better alternative- here again you need to know if this is possible depending on sinuses, nerves and amount of available bone. READ MORE

  • What foods to avoid when you have swollen gums?

    I am not sure what was the cause of swollen gums BUT best to avoid crunchy foods and any foods with seeds(including breads and fruits such as raspberries) as they may lodge into the swollen gum. Also avoid highly spicy/acidic foods as they may burn. And sugary foods as they may cause cavities. READ MORE

  • What can I take for a throbbing pain after a root canal?

    Go to a dentist for a dental cleaning and assessment. A cleaning may “whiten “ them up or discuss the potential for future home whitening of teeth. READ MORE

  • Is lemon bad for your teeth?

    Lemons are acidic and so weaken tooth enamel or the outer layer of teeth. It is best to rinse with water if suck on a lemon or drink lemon water. READ MORE

  • Can tooth sensitivity go away on its own?

    Tooth sensitivity can go away on its own sometimes depending on the cause. If it has to do with acidic diet/liquids, then minimizing them or rinsing with water to neutralize the acid can reduce the sensitivity. Usually, sensitivity is related to gum recession due to aggressive tooth brushing or clenching/grinding or the use of home whitening toothpaste or other HW solutions. Depending on the cause, then different treatment will help relieve the issue. READ MORE

  • Do permanent crowns look better than temporary?

    In almost all cases, they do. Sometimes you can make really nice temporaries, but in most cases, the permanent crowns are smoother, fit better, and have more shine to them. READ MORE
