Yes fact. Thats why a real dentist, not a fake person offering illegal whitening, willl not routinely recommend whitening.

You, as the patient, will weight the pros & cons and then decide for yourself whether to go for whitening. Whitening does not cure anything besides giving you a bright smile.

Hi, is it normal to feel this pain on my teeth each time when bitting my food? i just done the filing for a week now

Nope.
Could be the filling not being even or something more serious.

when drink cold water also will feel the sensitivity

Were any of the symptoms present before the filling?

nope, there was no issue before the filing

Then you better get it checked again.

yeah, i think i will

what is pulp capping?

Pulp capping is an alternative to root canal treatment. Endodontists use this technique to keep dental pulp, and subsequently your actual tooth, from dying. You may be surprised to know that a toothache is often a signal that a cavity has reach your tooth’s pulp and the throbbing is alerting you to the fact that your tooth is dying. Pulp capping saves your tooth by isolating cavities from your tooth’s pulp.

Good day Dr,

Firstly thank you for your kind and generous sharing. Read through a lot & it was very informative!

I have a question of my own, hope you could share your take on this:

My past few visits to dentists, they have shared on gum recession. I think my whole life I've been brushing with a toothbrush that's too hard, and in addition also brushing incorrectly. In my 30's now, and it's visible the damage done. Question: how do I "undo" the damage?

1. I've bought the softest toothbrush and gotten rid of all the rest.
2. I've also stopped brushing horizontal left right left right strokes entirely, and only vertical up down up down.
3. Though this may stop further damaging my gums, what else can I do to return the gums to higher level? Would it grow back naturally? Vitamins?
4. Lastly, what would be the long term consequences if gum recession continues? Will teeth fall off one day because no gums? (Sorry if noob question)

Truly appreciate your advise on this.

What's the average cost for single tooth dental implant in KV now? I may want to do one for my upper lateral incisor. And it seems a few dentistry that I went to only provided conventional implant, my cousin had a mini dental implant in Korea so I might want to have that due to the simplicity of the procedure.

Getting a soft brush and using the right technique will prevent your recession further.

Usually gums do not grow back that easily, if at it, it takes up to years for you to notice any difference. You can opt for tissue regeneration surgery done by Periodontist to cover up the recession area.

If recession continues, first is esthetics, your teeth looks longer, you may or may not experience sensitivity on those teeth. Higher chance of food lodgement or stuck which lead to further gum problems or decay.

Best is to go for your 6 monthly check up to make sure everything is in good order. Practice good brushing and flossing habits.

GP probably around 8k, Specialist probably about 10k.

Conventional implant and mini implants require the same procedure or workflow. a 3D X-ray (CBCT) to assess your bone and allow treatment plan.

There is not simple steps towards implant.

Bear in mind upper lateral incisor is a esthetic zone, so best to do it with an experience practitioner or specialist in order to achieve good results.

Thanks for the estimate figure, any practitioner you may want to recommend?

Thank you! Truly appreciate your advice on this bro

A question that has been bothering me. On the toothpaste tub, it sayd to not exceed twice-a-day usage. But isn't the advice to brush teeth after every meal, in the mornings, and before going to bed? Anyone keen to shed some light on this?

can I know which toothpaste tub is this?

I am using Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief. Maybe the instructions doesn't apply to all toothpaste?
