If you have ever experienced a sharp twinge of pain when eating or drinking something hot, cold, sweet, or acidic, then you know how uncomfortable tooth sensitivity can be. There are a few reasons why you may experience sensitivity after getting a crown or bridge. One possibility is that the tooth underneath the crown or bridge is still slightly decayed. Another possibility is that the gum tissue around the crown or bridge is inflamed. Finally, it’s also possible that the tooth itself is sensitive.

There are a few things you can do to preventing tooth sensitivity after getting a crown or bridge:
- Brush and floss regularly
- Use toothpaste for sensitive teeth
- Use a fluoride mouthwash or rinse
- Avoid eating or drinking anything that is extremely hot, cold, sweet, or acidic.

If you are still experiencing pain after 2-4 weeks, or if it is becoming worse, you should contact your dentist. In some cases, you may need to have the crown or bridge adjusted. In more severe cases, a root canal treatment may be necessary.

How long do you have to wait before rinsing after brushing your teeth?
The simple answer is that you should wait at least 30 minutes before rinsing your mouth with water or mouthwash. This gives the fluoride in toothpaste time to work its way into your enamel, helping to prevent cavities. Additionally, flossing before brushing can help remove plaque and bacteria from hard-to-reach places in your mouth, leading to a healthier smile. By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy and strong.

Do you have missing teeth? All-on-4 dental implants are the perfect solution for anyone who wants to replace missing teeth. This treatment is less expensive than traditional dental implants, and it can be completed in a single day.

All-on-4 dental implants are a new type of implant that can provide a full set of replacement teeth in just four implants. The dentist will place these implants into the jawbone, and then attach artificial teeth (often dentures) to the implants. All-on-4 implants are a popular choice for patients who have lost all of their natural teeth, as they provide a more secure and stable fit than traditional dentures. All-on-4 implants can also help to preserve the jawbone, which can otherwise deteriorate over time without the roots of natural teeth in place.

Astoria Dental Town offers a free consultation to help you determine if this treatment is right for you. We also offer care credit and private payment plans to make the procedure more affordable. To schedule a consultation and to learn more about our financing options, call us at (718) 278-2141. We're here to help you get the smile you've always wanted!

If you're in pain from a toothache, it can be tough to focus on anything else. The good news is that there are several things you can do at home to get relief fast.
1. Rinse with salt water or a baking soda solution. Just mix a teaspoon of salt or baking soda in a glass of warm water and swish it around your mouth for 30 seconds.
2. Apply a cold compress. Wrap ice in a clean cloth or use a frozen bag of vegetables and hold it against your cheek for 10 minutes.
3. Take over-the-counter pain medication. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help with pain and inflammation.
4. Use a peppermint or chamomile tea bag. Place the tea bag against the painful tooth and let it sit for a few minutes.
5. Try essential oils. Some people find relief from toothaches by placing a cotton swab with a mixture of a few drops of lavender or clove oil diluted in an olive oil on the affected tooth.

Chewing gum has long been promoted as a means of improving oral hygiene, and recent research has shown that it can indeed have some positive effects on teeth. For instance, chewing gum can help to remove dental tartar, a hard deposit that can build up on teeth and lead to cavities. Gum also stimulates saliva production, which helps to rinse away food particles and bacteria. In addition, chewing gum can help to freshen breath by masking odors. Some types of gum even contain fluoride, which can help to prevent cavities. Thus, gum can be a helpful tool for maintaining good oral health. However, it is important to choose a sugar-free variety in order to avoid feeding the bacteria that cause tooth decay.

For many people, the thought of going to the dentist is enough to send them into a panic. If you experience dental anxiety, you're certainly not alone. In fact, it's estimated that up to 15% of Americans avoid going to the dentist out of fear. There are a number of reasons why people may feel anxious about visiting the dentist, including bad experiences in the past, fear of needles or drill pain, or even just a general fear of the unknown. However, there are ways to overcome your fears and get the dental care you need. One way to ease your anxiety is to find a dentist who has experience working with patients who have dental anxiety. Your dentist can help you feel more comfortable by explaining procedures in detail and taking breaks if you need them. If you're particularly worried about pain, sedation dentistry may be an option for you. This type of dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during procedures. If you have frequent toothaches or other dental problems, it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Putting off dental care can only make your problems worse, and it may make your anxiety worse as well. Remember that your dentist is here to help you, and they will do everything they can to make sure you're comfortable. So don't let your anxiety keep you from getting the dental care you need. Talk to your dentist about your concerns and together you can find a solution that works for you.

Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

Bruxism is a word used by dentists to describe teeth grinding (excessive clenching). This disorder is most common among children, adults suffer from it much less often and mainly due to psycho-emotional stress. There’s a myth that bruxism is connected with worm infections, but we assure you this is nonsense. Scientists all over the world consider bruxism a multifactorial disease. They identify such possible causes as, for example, sleep disorder, malocclusion (or a “bad bite”), genetic predisposition, and chronic stress. And don’t forget that even healthy people may suffer from bruxism attacks. Therefore, this problem should not be overlooked. Constant friction of teeth with chewing surfaces may cause enamel damage, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and episodes of severe headaches.
If you or your child find these symptoms familiar, don’t hesitate! Qualified dental care can resolve this problem.
