Frequently Asked Questions about General Dentistry
If parents notice that their child’s permanent teeth are slow to erupt, they should take their child to a dentist to find out the specific cause. Based on that, the dentist will suggest solutions such as extracting impacted supernumerary teeth that are hindering the eruption of permanent teeth or intervening with orthodontic treatment in cases where the child lacks tooth buds.
When your dentist recommends root canal treatment, you should have it done as soon as possible to:
- Treat the infected tooth and prevent it from spreading to adjacent teeth.
- End persistent pain.
- Increase the chances of saving your natural teeth.
- Reduce the risk of systemic tooth infection and serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, etc.
In cases where tooth extraction is necessary, the dentist will only extract teeth that can be removed and do not affect your health, such as the fourth tooth or wisdom teeth. Ideally, you should visit a dental clinic for a detailed examination of your current dental condition, so the dentist can develop a suitable treatment plan.
Therefore, the cost of dental implants is usually higher than other tooth restoration methods, but in return, they offer lasting results and superior aesthetics.
Before a dental filling, your dentist will apply a local anesthetic around the tooth to make you more comfortable. In cases of pulp damage requiring treatment, you may feel a slight tingling sensation during the procedure, but it’s not too painful. The filling process is quite quick.
Orthodontic treatment for children and adults has some distinct differences, such as:
The frequency of teeth cleaning varies depending on oral health, eating habits, and the thickness of the tartar buildup:
For those with little tartar and no oral diseases: every 6 months.
For those with a lot of tartar or who drink coffee, tea, or smoke: every 3-4 months.
If you are pregnant, you should consult your doctor before having your teeth cleaned to ensure safety.
Aesthetics: Adults often need to communicate frequently, so they are more concerned about the aesthetic aspect of orthodontic treatment. Therefore, they tend to choose clear aligners that allow them to speak and smile comfortably without fear of visible wires.
Possibility of tooth extraction: In adults, because the teeth have fully erupted, in some cases, the doctor may recommend tooth extraction to create space for the teeth to move.
After wisdom tooth extraction, you may experience pain once the anesthetic wears off. However, your doctor will prescribe painkillers to help alleviate the pain for up to 48 hours.
In the first 24 hours, there may be some minor bleeding mixed with saliva, which will subside after 1-2 days. For 3-5 days after the procedure, mild swelling of the cheek and jawline may occur, making eating and speaking difficult. Approximately 1-2 weeks after wisdom tooth extraction, the gums will heal and cover the tooth root. The socket will be fully filled within 1-2 months, depending on individual healing.
