What to do if your dental bridge falls out?
If the problem was that the cement broke, it can be re cemented. But if there is decay under the tooth or teeth that hold the bridge then then root canal and sometimes a new bridge may be needed. Most importantly, the cause of the bridge removal must be investigated and addressed. READ MORE

How do you irrigate gum pockets?
Best way to do that is to have it done by a dentist or a hygienist. An alternative is to use a water pick on low settings. Fill it up with chlorhexidine 0.12% rinse (prescription),Peroxyl mouth rinse or Listerine. Place the tip right at the gum line and direct it toward your pockets. READ MORE

In general, lower molars have two roots but they can have 3, 4 or sometimes 5 canals. Upper molars generally have 3 roots and they can have 3, 4 or 5 canals. It is rare but possible that these teeth have more than 5 canals. READ MORE
