Frequently Asked Questions

When should children start dental care?

Children should begin dental care by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth comes in, or whichever comes first. Early dental visits help ensure their teeth and gums are developing properly. Starting early also builds a foundation for good oral health habits that can last a lifetime.

Should I take my child to the ER for a toothache?

For a child’s toothache, the ER usually isn’t necessary unless there’s severe swelling or fever. Call your dentist first – they often have emergency slots. Over-the-counter pain relief can help temporarily. If it’s after hours and the pain is unbearable, urgent care might be a better option than the ER. We’ll get your child seen as soon as possible.

Is it easier to eat with dentures or implants?

Eating is generally easier with dental implants compared to dentures. They’re fixed in place, so they don’t slip or move when you chew. Implants also preserve your jawbone, maintaining your bite strength. Dentures can take some getting used to and may limit certain foods. However, modern dentures have improved a lot. We’ll discuss which option suits your lifestyle and budget best.

What should I do if I have severe tooth sensitivity?

If you’re experiencing severe tooth sensitivity, schedule a visit with a dentist as soon as you can. We can determine the cause, which might be tooth decay, gum recession, or enamel erosion, and provide appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can use toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth. You can also avoid very hot or cold foods and drinks.

How often should dental X-rays be taken?

The frequency of dental X-rays will depend on a patient’s individual needs. For most patients, bitewing X-rays are recommended once a year to detect cavities between teeth. Dr. Schweifler may suggest more or fewer X-rays. It will depend on your oral health history, age, and risk factors.

How long can dental fillings last?

Tooth fillings can last from 5 to 15 years. Their lifespan depends on the material we use and the size of your filling. Your oral hygiene is also an important factor. Regular dental check-ups and good oral care can help extend the life of your fillings.

Is Invisalign better than braces?

Invisalign and braces both effectively straighten teeth, but they have different advantages. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that are nearly invisible and allow you to eat and clean your teeth more easily. Braces are fixed and may be better suited for complex alignment issues. The best choice depends on your needs and lifestyle.
