Why are my dentures not setting right?
Dentures often need adjustments after they are delivered to you. It is best to go to whoever made them and have them adjusted so they fit better.
How often should a 7-year-old go to the dentist?
Another important point is that cavities grow more rapidly in baby teeth, so detecting them earlier makes for an easier fix.

What could be the reason for my jaw stiffness?
Jaw stiffness is often caused by grinding, which itself has no cure to eliminate. However, a nightguard appliance can often help alleviate the pain and severity of the problem. READ MORE

I had pulpectomy on my lower left tooth. It still hurts. What should I do?
A pulpectomy is only the start of a root canal procedure by removing the root tissue only. It is intended to alleviate pressure buildup in the tooth and hence reduce pain. If pain READ MORE
A pulpectomy is only the start of a root canal procedure by removing the root tissue only. It is intended to alleviate pressure buildup in the tooth and hence reduce pain. If pain is worsening, it could indicate that there is still nerve tissue remaining, or that the infection is severe enough that your body’s immune system is unable to fight it. Contact your dentist right away and he may prescribe you an antibiotic to help the situation. Good luck.

#2 tooth with deep cavity - why infected after filling?
This is not an unusual situation, and many teeth with large cavities go through a similar path. Although the pain is gone, it may return, and the tooth nerve may possibly be dead READ MORE
This is not an unusual situation, and many teeth with large cavities go through a similar path. Although the pain is gone, it may return, and the tooth nerve may possibly be dead too. Only way to confirm is with vitality testing. A root canal is rarely done preventively, usually reactively to pain. Tooth #2 is an important tooth for chewing, so I would not give up on it so easily. Many deep cavities can lead to further infections, and it is impossible to prevent entirely. It’s like saying “I want to drive a car, but I don’t ever want to get into an accident”. Some things are simply inevitable. However, good oral hygiene and regular professional care improves your odds, just like driving safely. Good luck.

The timeline for braces is impossible to predict without seeing the patient. Factors that affect it are the severity of crowding/spacing, the type of appliance being used, the child’s age, and the compliance. Wish I could give you a less vague answer. Good luck.

Are OTC products recommended for teeth whitening?
Although many OTC whitening products contain the active ingredient for whitening, hydrogen peroxide, they are often not high enough in concentration to make an appreciable difference. READ MORE
Although many OTC whitening products contain the active ingredient for whitening, hydrogen peroxide, they are often not high enough in concentration to make an appreciable difference. I never recommend against them, as they do not harm. I merely caution patients to have a realistic level of expectation. If it is not potent enough to achieve the desired results, my patients visit me for a professional version which gives far superior results. Good luck.

Can cavities in one tooth affect other teeth as well?
The short answer is both. Cavities are very contagious and spread to adjacent teeth and even to another person’s mouth. As well, if the filled tooth is sensitive, it could refer READ MORE

It very much depends on each child, and how quickly they develop the right skill set for brushing. In my practice, I see children develop that closer to age 5-6. I would be cautious about expecting a 3 year old to properly brush on her own. Good luck.

Oil pulling has become very popular nowadays. Although it causes no harm, its actual clinical benefit is still not scientifically documented or universally accepted. However, many people “feel” an improvement with using it, so I neither recommend for or against it. It is the patient’s choice.

I can only hope that by the time you are reading this response, your bleeding has finally stopped. Whenever bleeding is not controlled within 1-2 hours, you should seek out emergency care either with a dentist or hospital as the blood loss can become a critical concern. Definitely heavy rinsing can be a perpetuating factor. Good luck.
