  • The Most Difficult Task I Perform in My Office

    While I was on the faculty of NYU Dental School, a student once asked me, "What is the most difficult procedure you do?" I am sure he expected me to say wisdom teeth extraction, or root canals, or maybe even implants. Instead I replied, "That's an easy question. The hardest thing I do is...

  • Is it normal to have pain after a tooth implant?

    Hi Placing an implant requires a surgical procedure so that you could expect some discomfort afterward. Your provider probably informed you that there would be some minor degree of pain and may have recommended post operative medication. In any case, if you are experiencing pain or have other concerns after implant surgery, you should contact the dentist who placed it. READ MORE

  • What is the best material for dental crowns?

    Hi There is no one material that is the best for crowns. It depends on the need for esthetics and/or strength. The best material as far as holding up over time is gold. It is not used often anymore because of cost and esthetics but it is still a proven and durable material. Of the tooth colored materials, zirconia appears to be the strongest but it is not as esthetic as other materials and has not been used yet over a long period of time. There are also different ceramic materials that can be employed. They also vary on strength and esthetics. For years porcelain fused to metal was the standard and is still often used but today there are many more choices. The bottom line is discuss these options with your dentist and have a reasonable understanding as to what is going to be done. READ MORE

  • Is ultrasonic scaling painful?

    A dental cleaning or prophylaxis should not be a painful visit. The gum tissue can be sensitive, especially if it is inflamed.

Yours truly, Scott M Dubowsky DMD READ MORE

    It is quite common for a tooth to be sensitive after a filling is placed. Without knowing the specifics of your discomfort it is difficult to answer beyond that. It can take several weeks for sensitivity to go away. If you are in actual pain after 48 hours I would call your dentist. READ MORE
