🦷 **The Wednesday Dental Tip: Is a Dental Bridge Right for You?**

A dental bridge can replace a missing tooth—but it may not be the best choice for every patient.

In this week’s Wednesday Dental Tip, Dr. Zoe explains that the most common type is a **three-unit bridge**.

It includes:

👑 A crown placed on the tooth in front of the empty space
🦷 An artificial tooth that fills the space
👑 A crown placed on the tooth behind the empty space

These three connected units work like a traditional bridge, with the surrounding teeth serving as support.

However, a bridge requires the supporting teeth to be reshaped so the crowns can be placed over them. That is why Dr. Zoe may not recommend a bridge when the teeth surrounding the space are completely healthy and have never needed treatment.

Removing healthy tooth structure should be avoided whenever a more conservative option is available.

A dentist must also evaluate:

🦷 Whether there are teeth on both sides of the missing tooth
👑 The condition of the supporting teeth
🦴 The health of the surrounding bone and gums
🪥 Whether the patient can properly clean underneath the bridge
📋 The benefits and limitations of other replacement options

Proper maintenance is essential after a bridge is placed.

Plaque and bacteria can collect around the crowns and underneath the artificial tooth. Without regular cleaning, this may lead to:

🦠 Cavities around the supporting teeth
🔴 Gum inflammation
🦴 Bone loss underneath the bridge
⚠️ Failure of the supporting teeth or bridge

Even though there is no natural tooth underneath the middle portion of the bridge, the gums and bone in that area still need daily care.

The best treatment depends on the condition of your teeth, gums, bone, and the location of the missing tooth.

🎥 Watch Dr. Zoe explain how dental bridges work, when they may be recommended, and why proper cleaning is so important.

From Pain to a Healthy Smile 🦷✨

This patient came to Dental Group of Baltimore City with severe dental problems, including multiple fractured teeth, extensive decay, and teeth with damage extending into the nerve. She was also experiencing significant dental pain.

Under the care of Dr. Zoe Rouhi, with assistance from Jumanah, the patient underwent comprehensive treatment to rebuild her oral health.

Teeth that could not be saved were extracted. Other compromised teeth were treated with root canals, core build-ups, and crowns, while missing teeth were replaced with upper and lower partial dentures.

The result was more than a cosmetic transformation—it was about restoring function, oral health, and confidence.

A great example of how comprehensive dentistry and a step-by-step treatment plan can transform a patient's smile and quality of life. ❤️🦷

🦷 The Wednesday Dental Tip: Can the Tooth Be Saved—or Does It Need to Be Removed?

Your natural tooth is almost always the best option.

Even though dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, an implant is still not the same as your natural tooth. That is why dentists will usually try to save a tooth whenever possible.

In this week’s Wednesday Dental Tip, Dr. Zoe explains that the decision is not simply based on whether a root canal can be performed.

The more important question is:

Can the tooth be properly restored after the root canal?

A dentist must evaluate:

🦷 How much healthy tooth structure remains
🦠 How deep the cavity extends
👑 Whether there is enough tooth left to support a crown
🩻 Patterns of bone loss around the root
⚡ Whether the tooth is cracked or fractured
📍 How far the fracture extends

A root canal may successfully treat the inside of the tooth, but if there is not enough structure remaining to place and support a crown, the tooth may still have a poor long-term prognosis.

A 3D CBCT scan can also provide valuable information. It helps the dentist evaluate the inside of the tooth, surrounding bone, and signs that may indicate a fracture.

Unfortunately, if a crack extends vertically down the root, the tooth usually cannot be repaired and will need to be removed.

The goal is always to save your natural tooth—but only when it can be restored safely and predictably.

🎥 Watch Dr. Zoe explain how dentists determine whether a tooth can be saved or needs to be extracted.

🦷 The Wednesday Dental Tip: When Is a Filling Not Enough?

Not every damaged tooth can be repaired with another filling.

In this week’s Wednesday Dental Tip, Dr. Zoe explains that the decision between a filling and a crown depends largely on how much healthy tooth structure remains.

A filling may be appropriate when the damaged area is relatively small. However, if a tooth already has a large filling, a new cavity, or a broken section, placing another filling may weaken it further.

Think of it like repeatedly patching the same wall. Every time the tooth is drilled and repaired, more of its natural structure is removed.

Over time, this can increase the risk of:

🦷 The tooth cracking or breaking
⬆️ The filling becoming loose or falling out
🦠 Decay developing underneath an old filling
⚠️ One wrong bite causing further damage
❌ More complicated treatment in the future

A crown covers and protects the remaining tooth structure, helping distribute biting pressure more evenly and reducing the risk of the tooth breaking.

The goal is not simply to repair the cavity today. It is to choose the treatment that gives the tooth the best chance of remaining strong and functional in the future.

🎥 Watch Dr. Zoe explain how dentists decide whether a tooth needs a filling or a crown.

🦷 The Wednesday Dental Tip: How Poor Oral Hygiene Can Lead to Tooth Loss

Poor oral hygiene does not usually cause tooth loss overnight. The damage can develop gradually over many years.

In this week’s Wednesday Dental Tip, Dr. Zoe explains that plaque and bacteria left underneath the gumline can harden into calculus. When this buildup remains untreated, it may cause:

🦠 Bacteria below the gums
🪨 Hardened calculus
🦴 Bone loss around the teeth
↔️ Loose teeth
❌ Eventual tooth loss

Your teeth depend on the surrounding bone for support. As gum disease progresses and the bone begins to recede, the teeth gradually lose that support.

This process can also cause inflammation, swelling, and bleeding. However, the most serious long-term consequence is that the teeth may become so loose that they eventually need to be removed.

Something as simple as untreated buildup beneath the gums can become a much bigger problem when it goes unnoticed for years.

🎥 Watch Dr. Zoe explain how poor oral hygiene can progress from plaque buildup to bone loss and tooth loss.

🦷 The Wednesday Dental Tip: Why Do Your Gums Bleed?

Bleeding gums are often your body’s way of warning you that inflammation is present.

In this week’s Wednesday Dental Tip, Dr. Zoe explains that plaque and bacteria can build up along—and sometimes underneath—the gumline. If they are not removed, they may cause:

🩸 Bleeding
🔴 Redness
🫧 Swelling
🦷 Gum inflammation

Regular brushing and flossing are essential. Dr. Zoe also explains that traditional string floss mechanically removes plaque between the teeth and should not be completely replaced by a water flosser.

Your gums may bleed temporarily when you begin flossing again after a long break. However, if the bleeding continues despite regular brushing and flossing, it should be checked by a dentist.

In some cases, plaque and hardened buildup may be trapped below the gumline and require a deep cleaning—also known as scaling and root planing.

🎥 Watch Dr. Zoe explain why gums bleed.

🦷 The Wednesday Dental Tip: Coffee vs. Sugar vs. Smoking — How Do They Affect Your Teeth?

Coffee, sugar, and smoking can all affect your smile—but not in the same way.

In this week’s Wednesday Dental Tip, Dr. Zoe explains the biggest risks:

🍬 Sugar feeds harmful bacteria in your mouth, increasing the risk of cavities and tooth decay.

☕ Coffee does not directly cause cavities. However, it can stain your teeth, and its acidity may gradually weaken enamel—especially when consumed frequently. Adding sugar makes it more damaging.

🚬 Smoking can stain teeth, dry out your mouth, damage your gums, and increase your risk of cavities and other serious oral health problems.

You do not necessarily have to give up coffee. Drinking it without added sugar, using a straw, and rinsing your mouth with water afterward can help reduce its effects.

Smoking, however, can cause much more significant damage. Reducing or quitting is one of the best decisions you can make for your oral and overall health.

🎥 Watch Dr. Zoe explain how these habits affect your teeth—and what you can do to protect your smile.

🦷 The Wednesday Dental Tip: Everyday Habits That Can Damage Your Teeth

Some of the biggest threats to your smile aren't cavities—they're everyday habits you may not even think about.

In this week's Wednesday Dental Tip, Dr. Zoe shares several common habits that can wear down, crack, or damage your teeth over time, including:

🧊 Chewing ice
🖊️ Biting pens or pencils
🪵 Using toothpicks too aggressively
🪥 Brushing too hard
😬 Clenching your teeth
🍾 Opening bottles with your teeth

These habits may seem harmless, but repeated over months or years they can lead to chipped teeth, gum recession, enamel wear, and other dental problems.

The good news?

Most of them are easy to avoid once you know the risks.

🎥 Watch Dr. Zoe explain why these habits can be harmful—and how to protect your smile.

The Wednesday Dental Tip: Custom Nightguard or Over-the-Counter Nightguard?

In one of our previous videos, Dr. Zoe talked about teeth grinding and how it can wear down your teeth over time.

Now, she explains what many patients ask next:

Should I buy an over-the-counter nightguard or get one made at the dental office?

Dr. Zoe says some protection is better than no protection. An over-the-counter guard can be a good first step if you want to try something before investing in a custom one.

But many patients find store-bought guards bulky, uncomfortable, or hard to sleep with because they are not perfectly fitted to the teeth.

A custom nightguard is different. We scan your teeth and make it specifically for your bite, so it is thinner, more comfortable, and better fitted.

At Dental Group of Baltimore City, custom hard nightguards are currently $522.

Watch Dr. Zoe explain the difference and why protecting your teeth from grinding matters.

The Wednesday Dental Tip: Why Do Dentists Take Different Types of X-rays?

X-rays are not taken “just because.”
They help your dentist see what cannot be fully seen during a regular exam.

In this Wednesday Dental Tip, Dr. Zoe explains that every type of dental X-ray has a different purpose.

A panoramic X-ray gives a broad view of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures.
Bitewing X-rays help dentists see the crowns of the teeth and check areas between teeth where cavities often hide.
Periapical X-rays show the entire tooth, from the crown down to the root.

And sometimes, when a regular 2D X-ray does not give enough information, a 3D CBCT scan may be needed — especially for more complex cases like root canal treatment or when the dentist needs a clearer map of what is happening inside the tooth.

The goal is not to expose patients unnecessarily.
The goal is to choose the right image, make the right diagnosis, and create the right treatment plan.

Watch Dr. Zoe explain how dental X-rays help us understand what is really going on beneath the surface.
