    Dry socket occurs when the blood clots is removed. Flowing an extraction. There is not much that can be done to prevent it, but some measures can help such as avoid smoking, sucking motion, carbonated drinks, and vigorous swishing. READ MORE

  • Why does a cracked tooth have to be pulled?

    A cracked does not necessarily have to be extracted but it depends on what type of crack and the extent of the crack.

  • My child accidentally ate toothpaste. What should I do?

    The amount of fluoride in toothpaste is not significant enough to cause your child harm. She would have to consume 4 or 5 total toothpaste for it to become lethal. I would just monitor and look for upset stomach or nausea. If you notice this, then I would take her to the emergency room at that point. READ MORE

  • How often can I use a mouthwash in a day?

    Generally mouth waste are used twice a day. However there is no specific guideline that state how often you can use it. If it is alcohol free you can use it as often as you like READ MORE

  • How should I select my toothpaste?

    The first step is to look for a toothpaste that has the ADA stamp of approval on it. Most of these pastes will have fluoride in them to help protect your teeth from decay. Note toothpaste is just a medium and by itself will not do much. It is the mechanical action of toothbrushing that is important. Good luck. READ MORE
