Which Dentist Is Best for Me?

Posted on November 30, 2020 by ectree.

Hello there, I have been having a problem with a tooth, and I am not sure what kind of dentist to go see about it. One of my upper front teeth feels sensitive, and there is some pain in my gums, too. The pain comes and goes, but it causes pressure behind my nose and […]

Is It Safe to Go to the Dentist During the Pandemic?

Posted on August 30, 2020 by ectree.

Hi, I have had my six month check-up and cleaning in my calendar for months, but when I made the appointment, I never thought it would be during a pandemic. My dentist’s office reopened recently but schools are still doing distance learning and restaurants are still doing take-out orders. Is it safe to go to […]

Why Did I Need Root Canals after my Porcelain Crowns?

Posted on May 23, 2020 by ectree.

Hello there, I got a full-mouth reconstruction with all-porcelain crowns a few years ago. I decided to do it because I was told there were would not be any negative side effects. However, after my intense smile makeover, a few of the crowns on my upper teeth started hurting. I went in several times for […]

Can I Ask My Family Dentist for Porcelain Veneers?

Posted on October 7, 2019 by ectree.

Hi there, I opted for a porcelain veneer to repair a chipped tooth. Previously, I’d had bonding on this tooth, but it wore off. My family dentist recommended a crown, but I didn’t want anything invasive to fix a small chip. My dentist made my veneer and I came in for a try-in. It looked […]

Do I Need an Anesthetic With My Filling?

Posted on June 14, 2019 by ectree.

Hi, I have to get a small filling done. Since it’s small, I don’t think I’ll need a shot of novocaine or any anesthetic. How do I bring this up with my dentist? Will my bill be more affordable if I don’t get any anesthetic? Thank you, Sal, Rhode Island   Dear Sal, Thank you […]

Could I brush my teeth too much?

Posted on June 15, 2018 by writeradmin.

I had always been pretty proud of the fact that I had never had a cavity. Six months ago at my cleaning appointment, though, my dentist found one. I had it filled, but I wasn’t happy. I have kids and my life has been a little crazy, so I think I was just not brushing […]

Should I cancel a dentist appointment over a cold?

Posted on March 19, 2018 by writeradmin.

I have a question. I have had an appointment set with a new dentist for about a month now because it took time to find an appointment that fits my family’s schedule. It’s two days away and, of course, my nose has started to run, I am coughing a little bit, and really I just […]

How do I help my teen stop sucking on her thumb?

Posted on January 18, 2018 by writeradmin.

Is there an affordable dentist who can help a teenage child quit sucking and chewing on her thumb? When my daughter was young, she started sucking her thumb. It then morphed into kind of a nervous habit. She now  absent-mindedly half chews/half sucks on her thumb just resting behind her top teeth. She taps her […]

Is an emergency dentist a real dentist?

Posted on November 16, 2017 by writeradmin.

I had a terrible toothache two weekends ago and went to see an emergency dentist. It was so bad. I told him which of my teeth hurt and after hitting my teeth and poking, he told me the tooth next to the one that hurt needed a cavity filled. What? Then he didn’t even fix […]

Will eating sour candy ruin my teeth?

Posted on August 18, 2017 by writeradmin.

I love sour candies, like sour gummy worms or Warheads. I control myself and don’t binge on it. I know it’s not the best stuff for me, but I figure I don’t eat it every day. But then my son came home from school the other day and said they were talking in his health class […]
