1. It depends on the quality of the braces, the type of braces and the amount of force applied.
2. Usually, the pain only lasts for the first several days.
3. Once you get used to the regular usage, you'll get used to it.

1. When fillings fade they change in color.
2. They ultimately start to yellow as they get older and also take up food stains.
3. The quality of your smile is affected when these teeth change their color and develop in teeth like the molars. 
4. Your smile, however, starts to draw unwanted attention when discolored bonding is present on the front of an anterior tooth, such as a central or lateral incisor.
5. Unfortunately, unlike actual teeth, composite bonding cannot be whitened. 
6. The bonding must be taken out in order to eliminate the color from it.
7. However, you should complete your dental procedure in the following order if you intend to whiten the rest of your teeth as well.

Yes, wisdom teeth can cause ear pain. This is caused by the tooth being blocked from fully erupting through the gums. If a wisdom tooth’s path is blocked, it grows in at an angle and damages your gums and jaw. 

1. When it comes to wisdom tooth pain, don’t ignore it or wait to visit the dentist.
2. By removing the impacted wisdom teeth, it will prevent infection and further problems that could arise by leaving them infected for longer than necessary.

 Some of the signs of an impacted wisdom tooth include:

• Swelling, tenderness, and pain in your gums
• Bad breath
• Pain in your jaw and jawline
• Difficult to open your mouth

1. After a root canal, you can’t eat for 30 to 45 minutes to give your temporary filling enough time to properly firm. 
2. However, it's usually advised that patients wait to eat until after the anesthesia wears off to avoid biting their cheeks or tongue. 
3. To maintain the region clear of food particles and plaque, be sure to brush and floss often.
4. You should also consult with your dentist regarding what you can eat and what you should avoid after your root canal.

An abscessed tooth can cause significant pain, and can also cause bacteria to spread throughout your mouth, resulting in a sore throat. This is most common with the lower wisdom teeth. 

You can also experience additional symptoms like

1. Headaches, soreness, and discomfort in the jaw can all be symptoms of an infected wisdom tooth. 
2. You could even notice clearly swollen, inflammatory, and red tissue next to the impacted tooth. 
3. In extreme circumstances, you could even become feverish and experience difficulty swallowing or opening your mouth.
4. The best course of action for a wisdom tooth infection is extraction, followed by thorough cleaning of the tissue and socket below. Your symptoms will go away after your tooth is out, and your mouth will recover rapidly.

1. Yes! Dental X-rays are safe to have during pregnancy. 
2. The American Dental Association and the American Pregnancy Association both agree that very low radiation levels are used in dental X-rays which do not harm either a pregnant woman or her unborn baby.

There are 5 reasons why one needs a dental X-ray and they are:

• Identify decay between and within teeth
• Check if there is a loss of bone
• Check for tooth decay under the fillings
• Get to know if there's any infection in the roots
• It helps doctors examine our mouth before any treatment

Your medical and dental history as well as present health are important factors.

1. Some people may require X-rays as frequently as every six months, while those who visit their dentist frequently and have no recent tooth or gum disease may only need X-rays once a year.
2. Your dentist could do an initial exam that includes X-rays in order to provide a baseline record from which to compare any changes over time.
3. If you have crowns, implants, fillings, and bridges, then dental x-rays are recommended every 12 to 18 months. By doing that, you can monitor underlying decay and cavity build-up in your teeth.

Here is the list of foods you can eat when there is a toothache, like:

• Yogurt or curd
• Applesauce
• Mashed Potatoes
• And also food that is close to room temperature

According to a 2004 study, the survival rate for root canal without a crown was 96% after one year, 88% after two years, and only 36% after five years. 

It shows that a fill can help the tooth survive for a few years, but is likely to fail soon. When deciding between fillings and crowns, there are three major factors to consider: 

• The tooth’s remaining natural structure
• The tooth’s position in the mouth
• The tooth’s function

For the first two weeks after surgery, your diet will be restricted to liquid foods such as juice, soup, etc.

Only after three weeks will you be able to start eating soft food, which would be solid.

This answer gives a detailed timeline of when you can have what kind of food. You may go through it for more information.

If you have any questions, connect with your surgeon as soon as possible.

The short answer is “no” but the long answer is “sort of.”  Here’s why:

The earliest stage of tooth decay or a cavity is demineralized enamel. The outer layer of enamel becomes weak and soft, due to acids and plaque biofilm coming into contact with it on an extended basis.

Fortunately, demineralized enamel can — to an extent — be remineralized before a physical cavity (hole) ruptures through the surface.

What are some ways to help this happen?

• Improved hygiene and plaque removal on an everyday basis
• Protective dental sealants over deep grooves and fissures, which are someof the most cavity-prone surfaces
• Drinking fluoridated tap water throughout the day
• Supplementation with a prescription strength fluoride or mouthrinse, providedby your dentist
• Use of everyday oral hygiene products that contain fluoride
• Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, sharp cheddar cheese, and fewerprocessed carbohydrates
• Eliminating acidic beverages and those that contain natural or artificial-sweeteners

The types of cells that make up your teeth do not re-grow or repair themselves after the tooth is fully developed.

Once a tooth has a physical cavity (opening or hole) inside of it, there is no feasible way to help the enamel grow back on your own. Instead, the cavity will gradually worsen, due to the bacterial infection inside of the tooth structure.

Ideally, you would want to treat the cavity as soon as it’s diagnosed and while it’s as small as possible. When you do, your dentist can place a minimally invasive filling and preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

But untreated cavities will expand to the point that they require larger fillings. Or worse, they will reach into the nerve chamber and create an abscess. What could have initially been treated with a modest restoration now becomes a situation requiring a root canal and a crown
