| Q |
|
Why does sensitivity occur after treatment? |
|
| A |
|
| |
|
|
The sensitivity of the tooth is caused from the dentinal tubule contents being stimulated inducing an increase in the pulpal blood flow affecting the nerve. During the treatment, drilling , watering , drying and the shrinkage of some materials takes place affecting the dentinal tubule fluid. Recommendation to reduce sensitivity is the use of an anesthetic solution containing vasocanstrictor. This should be used routinely for patient comfort and reducing post-operative sensitivity. Occasionally the patient may be sensitive for 1 - 2 weeks after the treatment. |

| Q |
|
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out? |
|
| A |
|
| |
|
|
If a permanent tooth is injured, time is of the essence. Replace the tooth in its socket, and get to your dentist’s office immediately, holding the tooth firmly in place. If you are uncomfortable replacing the tooth in its socket, clean it (taking care not to remove attached tissues), and store the tooth in a glass of milk, or if milk is not available, use clean water. Your dentist will try to re-implant and stabilize the tooth. If the tooth is a baby tooth, don’t replace it in its socket; damage to the permanent tooth could occur. When in doubt, place the tooth in milk, and call your dentist immediately. |

| Q |

How are dental instruments sterilized? |
|
| A |
|
| |
|
|
Dentists generally use steam or hot air to sterilize instruments in an autoclave at high temperatures and pressures, which kills any infectious agents. Dentists may also use disposable instruments. Instruments are sterilized before each use. Autoclaves are tested regularly by an outside source to ensure they are sterilizing effectively. |

| Q |
|
Can thumbsucking damage my child's teeth? |
| A |
|
| |
|
|
Thumbsucking is a normal, soothing reflex for babies and young children. However, as permanent teeth come in, continued thumbsucking may cause improper tooth alignment. Different factors determine if dental problems will occur resulting from thumbsucking, including how often your child sucks his or her thumb, how long they've been sucking their thumb, and how much force the child uses. Children should stop sucking their thumb by the time their permanent teeth come in--usually around six or seven years of age.
The MDS recommends that positive feedback, such as praise or small rewards, be given to encourage children to stop sucking their thumb. Negative reinforcement or constant nagging can have the opposite effect by making children more self-conscious and pushing them to suck their thumb more. As a last resort, a dentist may recommend an appliance be placed in the child's mouth, which serves as a reminder and a deterrent against thumbsucking. Parents should keep in mind that thumbsucking during childhood is normal and children will likely give up the habit when they are ready. |

| Q |
|
What is a root canal treatment? Is it painful? How long does it take? How long will it last? |
|
| A |
|
| |
|
|
A root canal treatment typically is performed to save your tooth when the pulp in the tooth’s root is damaged. The procedure involves cleaning out, shaping, and filling the root canal to prevent recontamination of the tooth. The tooth then is permanently restored using a filling or a crown.
In most cases, routine local anesthesia will control any discomfort during treatment. Occasionally, if a tooth is highly inflamed, a dentist will use other modalities to make the patient more comfortable. It is possible to have some postoperative discomfort for a brief time. This can be relieved with pain medication.
Root canals treatment typically require one or two 30- to 90-minute dental visits. If the procedure is complicated, additional visits may be required. A root canal, coupled with proper restoration, will enable your tooth to function permanently as a healthy tooth. Your dentist will assess in advance if your tooth is a candidate for endodontics, or root canal therapy. |

| Q |
|
When should orthodontic treatment be considered for my child? |
| A |
|
| |
|
|
A child should be examined by a dentist between the ages of 2 and 3. At this time, the dentist not only will look for straight or crooked teeth, he or she also will evaluate potential problems with jaw growth, such as an underbite or crossbite. Abnormal jaw growth often is caused by thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, or other habits, or genetics. It can cause problems such as uneven wear on the teeth, asymmetrical jaw growth, and bite problems. These problems should be corrected early to prevent more severe problems later. If there is a problem, your dentist will refer your child to an orthodontist.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive an orthodontic evaluation as early as age 7, when permanent teeth begin to develop. At this time, your orthodontist can make any further treatment recommendations based on how your child's permanent teeth begin to erupt. |
