How can you see a cavity in your back tooth?

The best way to know if you have a cavity is to see your dentist for a check-up. He or she will look for little spots on each surface of your teeth to see is there are small holes with bacterial activity. But sometimes cavities are hidden and can only be detected on X-rays.

Cavities don't always cause pain. When they are at a stage that you can see them or feel them, they might have reached an advanced state.

How do you calm a toothache?

It may sound abseloutely ridiculous but if it really, really bad you can call and emergency dentist and get the help you seek immediately!

If it's not to bad and you just want a temporary option you could try it "the old fashioned way" just get a bit of brandy, whiskey or port and rub it on your tooth, it might not taste nice but it really does work! You can also buy temporary fillings or dentistry kits from your local supermarket, If it's bad enough I would arrange an apt at the dentist, it might not be the cheapest option but You will need a check-up at some point anyway

I hope this helps!!

Do need antibiotic for a pulled tooth?

Not necessarily. It depends on your health status and how complicated the extraction is (i.e. surgical extraction of a wisdom tooth). Usually your body is able to heal itself and if you keep your mouth clean and follow the dentists instructions you should not have any complications after an extraction.

Does the gauze have to be out before you can eat after wisdom teeth are pulled?

yes, other wise you might swallow the gauze, do not eat and chew anything unless the bleeding has stopped and the pain subsided, some soup is best when you are hungry and leave the actually eating and chewing for the next day.

What mechanisms explains why fluoride is effective in controlling tooth decay?

Fluoride (f) replaces the hydroxyl group in the outer enamel of the tooth when applied topically making the enamel chemically harder. Hoewver, it doesn't reduce tooth decay, it just "hides" it as decay seeps through the micro-spaces tightly bound rods micro-spaces that make up the enamel. Whenn the first fluoride studies were done, they didn't have the advantage of electronic tools such as the diagnodent which "sees" cavities that the eye doesn't see and which are still too small to show on an x-ray. Further fluoride is neither a nutrient nor required for healthy teeth and has loads of adverse health effects even if you don't swallow any. Check out http://www.FluorideAction.Net/health

How many teeth does a normal adult have on top?

Myself and 2 of my 4 children do not have permanent canines. We would love to know how uncommon this is. We all had baby ones but, not the permanent teeth. I kept my baby teeth until I was 30 and had dental implants done. My 22 yr old and 16 yr old still have their baby teeth in.

Why is your face still numb after having wisdom teeth removed hours ago?

They made sure that the numbing jelly (I'm assuming that's what they used) lasts long enough during the surgery, as surgery times may vary from person to person despite what estimated times are. You face will still be numb for a while, but it will eventually wear off in due time.

Causes of caries?

Mainly bacteria. When you eat the food gets stuck on your teeth. The food turns to sugar eventually and the bacteria eat the sugar and your tooth enamel also in the process. That is why eating lots of sweets which are high in sugar is worst than eating normal food because sweets are usually loaded with sugar. Solution to cavities? Always brush right after you eat so the food doesn't have time to turn to the sugar that the bacteria want to eat. Also be sure to floss. The food stuck betwen your teeth won't come out with just brushing. Flossing is critical to not having cavities. So is genetics. Some people are more susceptible to cavities than others. I can't tell you why but I have met people who have never had a cavity in their life while most everyone I know has has them. It's kinda weird to see someone open their mouth and their is no silver fillings, nothing but white.

Is it safe to get a shot of novocaine from the dentist if you are pregnant?

I have to say first ask your OBGYN, Mine gave me a (permission note) and demanded I get my last two fillings done promptly. The note says Novacaine is 100% allowed, but that is my OBGYN. Nope, absolutely not. Novacaine can easily decrease your breathing so much that you don't supply enough for your baby. Talk to your dental practioner about other avenues, because dental health is more important now than ever.

What exactly does laser dentistry mean?

Laser Dental surgery simply refers to any dental surgery that employs a laser in place of a scalpel. The laser is generally more accurate, minimizes bleeding, and sterilizes the sites it is used on, reducing the risk of post-op infections. When these issues are important, a laser is the preferred instrument, but it is not yet the standard of care for most procedures.
