My Answers

My son is a year old, and isn't teething. Is this abnormal?
Full set of baby teeth are usually in by the age of 3. It is not abnormal for some children to develop slower eruption cycles. Boys do tend to be a little slower at getting teeth in and losing teeth than girls. READ MORE
How often should I get a cleaning for my teeth?
Depending on the health of your gums and if there is existing periodontal disease or a history of periodontal disease, the normal recommended period of time for cleanings is about every 6 months. In the case of periodontal disease, we recommend doing a cleaning every 3-4 months as instructed by your hygienist and dentist. READ MORE
What kind of foods should I avoid after a root canal surgery?
We recommend soft foods for a few days or until you are able to get a permanent crown on the tooth (to avoid fracturing your tooth). READ MORE
One of my front teeth is shorter than the other. How to fix?
Determining the reason of why that tooth is shorter is the first step. Is it rotated or pushed forward or backwards are some questions to evaluate. If it's a positional problem, this may be corrected with braces or Invisalign. If the teeth are aligned properly, then cosmetic work can be done such as veneers/crowns/bonding. Sometimes it's necessary to do a combination of the 2. READ MORE
Does bottle feed impact the teeth in a baby?
We do not recommend babies to sleep with the bottle as milk has sugar in it and may cause a condition called baby bottle syndrome. READ MORE
Is root canal the only way to treat a tooth cavity?
Small cavities are treated with fillings. When cavities are deep and reach the nerve of the tooth the nerve of the tooth becomes infected and leads to pain. The therapy for this is a root canal. A root canal cleans the nerve out of the tooth. After a root canal the tooth typically needs to be restored with a crown to protect it for the future. When the nerve of a tooth is dead or dying there are typically two options. Root canal therapy or extraction of the tooth. READ MORE
I wear dentures. My gums are aching! What can I do?
Properly fitting dentures should not hurt. The average denture wearer should be seen at least once a year for an examination to make sure everything is adjusted properly and the tissue is healthy. READ MORE
How long will I have to be on painkillers after a root canal?
The average root canal tooth is sore for 2 or 3 days. Motrin is usually strong enough to manage any discomfort. READ MORE
What can I do to maintain my dental implants?
Brush them just like your natural teeth. See your dentist regularly for routine check ups. Make healthy lifestyle choices by eating right and avoiding tobacco. READ MORE
What is the treatment for mouth ulcers?
First, remove any local irritant that could be causing it (orthodontic wire, broken tooth, etc.). It will heal on its own with time. To make it feel better, try OTC medications and avoid acidic foods. READ MORE
My baby is 7 months old and has 4 teeth. Should I use a brush to clean his teeth?
Yes, you want to get him use to the routine of brushing. No need for toothpaste to start. You can use training toothpaste if you want. But save children's toothpaste with fluoride until your child is able to spit it out. READ MORE
I need surgery on two impacted wisdom teeth. How long is the recovery after this procedure?
Average recovery time for a young healthy patient after dental extractions is one week. The first three days are typically the most uncomfortable. If this is a planned procedure and you are currently not in pain I would put it off til after the wedding. READ MORE
Can my silver fillings be replaced with white fillings?
Yes, if they are worn out and due to be replaced they can be replaced with a white filling. If larger a crown may be indicated. READ MORE
How are crossbites treated?
Upper teeth typically sit outside our lower teeth like a lid on a box. If this is reversed we call it a crossbite. It is an orthodontic issue. The way we correct it is typically with braces and sometimes surgery. If left untreated the teeth may wear down in unhealthy ways. READ MORE
Can my braces ever rust?
I have never seen braces in a patient's mouth rust. READ MORE
How often can I use a mouthwash in a day?
If it is alcohol free I would say no limit. Alcohol based mouthwash will dry your mouth if used too much leading to more problems. If you are using mouthwash that much you may be covering up a bigger problem. Periodontitis can cause very bad breath. If it has been a long time since your last dental check up you may want to schedule one. READ MORE
Are there any natural treatments for oral thrush?
Thrush is treated with antifungal agents. READ MORE
Can my abscess go away on its own?
You are describing a localized tooth infection. It will not go away without treating the source of the infection with a root canal or an extraction. If left untreated it can get worse, cause pain, swelling, spread to other areas near by and require treatment in a hospital. READ MORE
My daughter's braces are too tight. Is there anything I can do?
Tylenol and softer foods. READ MORE
How is an overbite fixed?
Usually with braces or clear aligner therapy like Invisalign. READ MORE

Get to know Dentist Dr. Alvin Daboul, who serves the Royal Oak, Michigan area at his private practice, North Oaks Dental. Dr. Daboul graduated in 2008 from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. With over ten years of experience, Dr. Daboul focuses on implants, wisdom teeth removal, cosmetic dentistry and Invisalign. He has a team of 20 employees at North Oaks Dental of Royal Oak. To stay current in his field, Dr. Daboul is a professional member of several dental organizations. He opened the North Oaks Dental practice in 2010 and has completed advanced training in using the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique, which is a minimally invasive technique that provides instant results and significantly less pain, recovery time, and investment than other treatment methods for gum recession. Dr. Daboul is an advocate of continued education. He enjoys learning about new dental procedures and improving current ones so he can better care for the people of Royal Oak and the surrounding area. He has furthered the field of dentistry by training other dentists in the proper techniques for surgical extractions and dental implants. To better inform his patients, Dr. Daboul published a book titled Getting Ready for Dental Implant Surgery. For his exceptional career, Dr. Daboul has been awarded a Top Dentist Award. General dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to patients’ continued health. These services include: preventive services — helping to maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in the mouth; restorative services — receiving timely and appropriate treatment when a problem is identified; as well as cosmetic services — performing a range of cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding – even porcelain veneers. General dentists also address overall health concerns, as oral health is seen as the mirror of general health. In fact, some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of the body and vice versa. Dr. Daboul is an advocate of providing care and individual attention to very anxious and frightened patients and watching them become lifelong patients free of dental anxiety. Additionally, he writes blogs for his patients to fully understand their care and treatments. When he’s not seeing patients, Dr. Daboul enjoys spending time with his wife and four children.
