Mary Swift, DDS's Expert Contributions
  • Can I get 2 teeth implants at once?

    Absolutely,  One surgery is better than two, unless extenuating circumstances complicate the treatment.  There are instances where 8 or more implants are placed in one surgery.  Hope this helps. Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • What should not be used to clean around a dental implant?

    My favorite tool for cleaning around implants is a product called super Floss.  Individual strands of floss, covered with a sponge that has a stiff end to thread with.  Check it out.  Hope this helps. Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • Can I fly 4 days after a root canal?

    Every dental infection is unique and every patient is unique so this answer will be a generalization.  Typically if the root canal was non-surgical, in other words the work was done through the center of the tooth and no surgical flap was performed then travel shouldnt be a problem.  More complicated root canals with aggressive infections may be the exception.  Your endodontist may want you on antibiotics.  Discuss with the provider.  Hope this helps. Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • How long is the braces treatment?

    Every alignment case is different.  If you have a lot of movement needed then typical treatment with traditional orthodontic bonded appliances can be 2 years or more.  If you just have a few crowded teeth in the lower front, treatment can move quickly with removable aligners.  Sometimes 6 months or so.  The only way to determine treatment length is to have a diagnostic workup.  Ask your dentist for a referral.  Hope this helps!

  • Will tooth sensitivity go away after a root canal?

    Root canal procedures remove the central nerve from the tooth, but tiny accessory canals may still house some nerve tissue.  You may still have some cold sensitivity.  Hopefully, though, the procedure took care of any pain you were having.  Lingering discomfort immediately after the procedure is expected.  If you still need pain meds 3 days after the procedure, contact your dentist.  Hope this helps.

  • Can I clean partial dentures with a regular toothbrush?

    Yes, you can brush your partial with a regular toothbrush.  There are brushes made for partials and dentures.  The bristles are firmer and longer, so they clean a little better than a conventional manual brush.  Most partials are made of a slightly porous plastic, so don't use toothpaste as some pastes are too abrasive.  Try to use products specifically for partials and dentures.  I hope this helps. Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • What drinks to avoid after a root canal?

    Restrictions may apply if you've been placed on antibiotics.  Other than that you should be able to eat and drink as normal.  Always avoid sugary drinks and make sure your water and tooth paste have fluoride in them.  Hope this helps.  READ MORE

  • What treatment is the fastest for gum infection?

    Determining the source and removing the cause of the infection is key.  If the infection originates from the need for a professional cleaning, then securing an appointment to remove the causative deposits would be the fastest and best way to clear up gum issues.  Hope this helps. Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • Can gum graft cause any damage?

    Any surgical procedure involves risk.  Gum grafts are usually a preventive procedure designed to put back what should be there in the first place.  Gum grafts do have a failure rate and talk candidly with your surgeon about that.  Hope this helps!  Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • Which electric toothbrush is best for gingivitis?

    I prefer the sonic technology brushes.  These devices use ultrasonic vibrations to remove plaque.  The soundwaves actually reach beyond the bristles to burst open bacterial cell walls.  Watch the tutorials on Youtube.  The technique for brushing is entirely different than brushing with a manual brush.  Hope this helps.  Mary Swift, DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • Should partial dentures be kept in water?

    Good question.  The correct answer depends upon which material your partial is made from.  To err on the safe side, store it in water and consult the dentist who fabricated the partial.  She/he will be able to tell you if your partial is made from a material that requires a water bath or not.  Hope this helps.   Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • How can I clean a dental implant bridge?

    My favorite cleaning tool is Superfloss.  Its floss with a thicker, spongy layer that really grabs plaque.  Watch a demo on Youtube.  Hope this helps! Mary Swift DDS Dallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • Are zirconia crowns durable?

    Zirconia crowns are very durable.  Zirconia crowns were developed for back teeth because of Zirconia's strength.  Hope this helps. Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • Can partial dentures cause bone loss?

    More likely bone is receding because teeth are still missing with a partial denture.  Teeth and implants hold the bone in the area.  When a tooth is pulled and not replaced with an implant, bone recedes.  Hope that helps.  Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • What can I do for swollen gums?

    Swelling is most commonly related to infection.  Infection can be from bacteria under the gums that needs to be removed.  If the swelling is isolated to a single tooth then the tooth could be abscessing.  Both should signal a call to action to visit your dentist.  Hope this helps.       Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • How long does a molar bridge last?

    Weve had bridges longer than weve had implants.  History tells us that If the supporting teeth are healthy and well maintained, the bite (occlusion) is correct, and the bridge is well made, it should last a lifetime.  Just like your house, the foundation has to be in good shape to support the structure.  With good bone for support, no decay and a good fit you can expect the bridge to last a lifetime.  Hope this helps Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • Are partial dentures bad for my jaw?

    Only if they dont fit well.  Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • Can I get implants under general anesthesia?

    Every surgeon has their preferred method of operation.  Most surgeons prefer general sedation during implant placement procedures.  There are some medical conditions that increase the risk of complications so be very honest with your surgeon about your medical history.  Hope this helps.   READ MORE

  • Do I have to take antibiotics after an implant?

    Probably, yes.  Unless you have a strong objection or a medical complication with antibiotics, the surgeon will usually want antibiotics on board.  This is a surgery and risk of infection is reduced with antibiotic coverage.  Every surgeon follows the protocol they prefer when it comes to antibiotics.  Make sure you are detailed when you fill out your medical history and have an honest conversation with the surgeon.  Hope this helps. Mary Swift, D.D.S.Dallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE

  • How can I fix jaw pain from dentures?

    If your pain is in the jaw joint it could mean that the denture teeth have worn down and you are closing too deep.  If the pain is from a sore spot that is rubbing, a simple adjustment may take care of it.  There is also a condition where the dental ridge of bone resorbs away and the denture starts to rest too heavily on the nerve that runs along the jaw.  Long story short there are several different origins of discomfort possible.  Hope this helps.   Mary SwiftDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us READ MORE
