What do you wish you knew about your teeth?
🦷 What actually is a filling and why do I need one?
A filling is used to repair a tooth after decay has damaged it. Not every cavity looks or feels the same and early decay may not hurt at all. Ask us to show you what we’re seeing and explain why treatment is being recommended.
🦷 Why do I need a root canal, and what is it?
A root canal may be needed when the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, often because of deep decay, a crack or an injury. During treatment, the damaged tissue is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed, and the natural tooth is preserved rather than removed. Depending on the tooth, a crown may be recommended afterward to protect it.
🦷 Why are my teeth suddenly sensitive?
Sensitivity can have several causes, including gum recession, worn enamel, cavities, grinding or even recent dental work. If it’s new, persistent or getting worse, we want to know about it.
🦷 Is whitening actually safe and how long does it actually last?
When used appropriately, professional and dentist-recommended whitening can safely brighten natural teeth. But whitening isn’t right for every smile and crowns, fillings and veneers won’t whiten along with natural enamel.
