Jon Perlus's Expert Contributions
Do you get a gum graft during implant surgery?
Very often gingival grafts are required around implants READ MORE
Can you get braces If you have gingivitis?
The gingivitis has to be resolved before braces otherwise it becomes high risk. READ MORE
Is it normal for gums to be swollen after a filling?
No. There may be a problem. READ MORE
Should I go to the dentist if my gums are bleeding under my dental bridge?
Absolutely READ MORE
Can a gap in front teeth be fixed?
Gaps can be fixed by orthodontics treatment to close the spaces or by caps. READ MORE
How do I stop my gums from bleeding when I brush?
Gums bleed when inflamed. Make sure your teeth are professionally cleaned at least 6 monthly and be sure to maintain gum health by brushing where the gum meets the tooth and do not miss the gum line. READ MORE
Does bone grow back after wisdom tooth extraction?
Bone usually grows back after wisdom teeth removal. However, in many impacted cases there is incomplete regeneration of the bone at the back of the remaining second molar and some grafting is indicated to prevent future problems READ MORE
Can dental implants get infected years later?
Dental implants are more susceptible to gum disease than teeth because the gums do not attach to them and seal them from the oral environment. As a result they can get infected at any time for various reasons. My advice is to be sure to keep the gumline clean at all times! READ MORE
Should I squeeze pus out of my gum abscess?
Absolutely. READ MORE
How long does it take to heal from dental implant surgery?
Healing is usually very rapid and there is no down time. READ MORE
Why do my gums bleed around my crown?
The gums are inflamed. The cause can be layers or invasion of the biologic width. READ MORE
Should I get a second opinion about having a root canal?
See an endodontist or root canal specialist to be sure. READ MORE
How long does it take for a dry socket to heal?
There is an item called Dry Sicket Paste that dentists can place into the dry socket to obtains trecrxposed nerves and reduce the pain while the site heals and closes READ MORE
Why are my gums still swollen from having my teeth pulled?
Sounds like the normal healing process but you should go back for follow up READ MORE
Is it possible to brush my teeth way too much?
No problem. Not too much. Brush as much as you want. READ MORE
Why does a cracked tooth have to be pulled?
It depends on the extent of the fracture. If the tooth is not restorable, it is extracted. There is no treatment for a vertical root fracture. READ MORE
Can my silver fillings be replaced with white fillings?
Absolutely. Your dentist is perfectly capable of doing this and has done it for many of his patients I am sure. READ MORE
How often do you need your teeth cleaned?
Professional dental cleanings are case specific. Rule of thumb dictates 6-monthly, however, people who are at high risk for decay or gum disease should attend 3 to 4 times per year. Those who have a history of no caries and very low incidence of minimal tooth repairs can have it done on a 9-monthly basis. Same for those with no history of gum disease. READ MORE
My daughter has a gap between her front two teeth. Is it normal?
It is normal and can be corrected with orthodontic treatment READ MORE
I have tooth sensitivity but no cavities. What could be the reason?
Riotvsenditivity grom gum recession is common. Apply fluorides to the exposed surfacrs READ MORE
