Biting down on side of cheek when eating
You may be experiencing a number of things. First off, you may have periodontitis which is gum disease with bone loss. This could explain the pain and bleeding. You may also have a cracked tooth or a cavity. It is hard to diagnose properly without necessary x-rays and a complete clinical exam. I would recommend an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. READ MORE
Why do some dentists hurt during cleanings more than others?
Some dentists may be using different tools to do cleanings. The more modern technology, the ultrasonic scaler, combines the oscillating motion with water so the result is less painful. The traditional hand scalers may sometimes cause more sensitivity as in order to remove tough calculus, more scraping is necessary. Ultimately, the condition of your oral cavity dictates whether you will have sensitivity. Healthy gums and teeth should result in minimal sensitivity. READ MORE
Is it bad if a piece of an old filling falls out?

Is the fluoride treatment at the dentist really worth it?
The in-office fluoride treatment has a higher concentration of fluoride and should only be done once every 6 months after the dentist has properly evaluated the condition of your oral cavity. Not everyone will benefit from the fluoride treatment, but if recommended, you should get it done as you are in need of the treatment. READ MORE
