Should I take pain medicine before dental implant?
You should take two tablets of 200mg of ibuprofen, which brings you to a total of 400mg... approximately 1 hour before your procedure. Taking pain medication before undergoing an oral surgery procedure will reduce the inflammation afterward. If you only start taking it after the procedure is completed, you won't get the same benefit! Just a little trick! READ MORE
Can partial dentures cause tooth damage?
The short answer is Yes. Your partial denture has clasps on it correct? These clasps will hook onto your natural teeth. Whenever you bite and chew with it, the clasp will grab onto your natural teeth. Over a long period of time, it will eventually weaken the tooth that it is clasping. This is typically not a huge issue if you are using a very strong tooth as an anchor. This is a big concern if you are using a tooth that is weak and already a little bit wobbly as the clasping tooth! READ MORE
Can dentures cause mouth sores?
If you are having mouth sores while wearing your dentures, you should check in with your dentist for a follow up. You most likely have "high spots" that are causing gum irritation. Your dentist should be able to adjust and polish down these spots so that they don't rub on your gums anymore. After the adjustment, the sore spots should go away within a week. READ MORE
