Put the tooth in a container of milk or if not available hold it in your cheek and head to the dentist. Sometimes we can put it back in! Post op : Dental Extraction : no chewing for 24 hrs. once you are done biting on gauze, keep the area cold with ice chips. No rinsing or brushing till the next day PreOp Zoom : in office Dental Bleaching: take 400-600mg of ibuprofen 1 hour before visit…..not too much coffee as you have to sit in the chair undisturbed for about 2 hours Post op: Zoom : In Office Dental Bleaching : you may have some electric zings in your teeth for that evening, Ibuprofen helps but does not completely eliminate the pain but it will go away POST OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS I. Oral Hygiene Instructions Brush twice a day for two minutes each time. Divide your mouth into four areas: upper right, upper left, lower left and lower right; thirty seconds in each quadrant, outside, inside and biting surface. Floss at least once if not twice a day. Use a C-shaped flossing motion, gently go under the gum tissue hugging the tooth surface. Toothpaste : use a fluoridated toothpaste or make sure if you are dry brushing to use a fluoride rinse or gel. Waterpiks, interdental cleaners (softpiks, or proxibrushes), postop toothbrushes, rinses, gels, use what works best for you consult your dental hygienist and dentist. II. Crown and Bridge Post Operative Instruction and Care of Temporary Restorations Preparing your tooth for a crown ( or a bridge if a missing tooth is involved generally involves two or more appointments. During treatment, your dentist will remove a portion of the tooth or teeth to fit the crown or bridge. An impression is made to provide an exact model of the prepared teeth. A temporary crown or bridge may be placed while the permanent one is made. What to Expect after Treatment Because temporary restorations eventually loosen, be sure to return to our dental office at the appointed time. Temporary cement allows you to wear the temporary restoration for a short period of time and to have it removed for further adjustment if needed. If you find the temporary crown or bridge feels “high”, call the dental office. Occasionally, the nerve of a tooth may die after a crown or bridge is permanently cemented, or even the temporary placed. If you experience continued discomfort, please call the office. While wearing the temporary restoration you may choose to not floss around the area to avoid accidentally pulling off the temporary. Please refrain from consuming anything “sticky”, “chewy” that would pull off , or “too hard or crunchy” that would pull off the provisional restoration. Taking Care of Your New Restoration To prevent damaging or fracturing the crown or bridge, avoid chewing hard food, ice, or objects such as pens and pencils. Brush twice a day and clean thoroughly between teeth with floss or an interdental cleaner. Clean around a crown the same as you would your natural teeth. Take special care to clean around and under the artificial teeth in a bridge. Thorough cleaning will remove plaque as well as odor-causing food debris. Help your gums and remaining natural teeth healthy by scheduling regular visits. III. Scaling and Root Planning Post Operative Instructions If anesthetized wait to eat until the local anesthetic wears off. If sensitive take 400mg or 600mg Ibuprofen, warm salt water rinses and soft foods for a day or so. Often the site where the anesthetic was placed is the most sensitive. IV. Root Canal Treatment Post Operative Instructions Your root canal treatment may take one or more visits to complete. During treatment, your dentist will remove the diseased pulp, then clean, shape and fill the root canal to prevent recontamination. What to Expect after Treatment Because cleaning the root canals may cause inflammation of tissue surrounding the tooth, you may experience some discomfort for a day or so. Over-the counter analgesics usually alleviate the discomfort. Talk with your dentist about which medication to take. If the discomfort continues, or if you have severe pain or swelling, call your dentist. Between appointments a temporary filling or crown is placed. Because temporary restorations will eventually loosen, see your dentist promptly following completed root canal treatment for a final restoration to prevent irreversible tooth damage and/or potential tooth loss. Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed to help control infection. Please take all medication as directed. How to Take Care of Your Mouth Avoid chewing or biting directly on the treated tooth until your dentist replaces the temporary restoration. If medication is prescribed, take it only as directed. Return for a follow – up exam after treatment, usually with a recall visit, as directed to make sure there has been proper healing of the tissues surrounding the tooth root. Retreatment May Occasionally be Necessary Even though the pulp of the tooth was removed, the tooth is still nourished from surrounding tissues. As with any living tissue, treatment is occasionally unsuccessful ( in that the body does not heal as expected) and retreatment , or removal of the tooth may be necessary. V. Invisalign Post Operative Instructions and Aligner Care Use the hard toothbrush, denture cleanser (Efferdent, or Stain Away) or distilled white vinegar-soak in lukewarm water for 10 to 15 minutes and place back in your mouth. Wear the aligners at all times unless eating or performing oral hygiene. Follow the schedule given and if you need to make adjustments , inform the dentist.

This is a new procedure that utilizes digital X-ray censors instead of photographic film, causing less radiation. Getting a digital X-ray is very important for dentists to diagnose potential problems which may be difficult to observe just by looking into a patient’s mouth during an appointment. Schedule Appointment Once the X-ray is performed, the image is enlarged and placed so that the patient and the doctor can see it. This process is invaluable in helping dentists detect issues, such as cavities, as well as check on roots of teeth and the bone around it. This new technology allows for instant images and much lower radiation levels. The sensor used to capture the image of the tooth are more comfortable than previous films. The digital X-ray is quick and painless, and shows results right away, allowing you and your dentist to discuss any potential issues and how to best treat them. Contact Hale & Hale, DDS today, or call our office at 310.453.9631 to find out more about our digital X-rays in Santa Monica.

Divide your mouth into four areas: upper right, upper left, lower left and lower right; thirty seconds in each quadrant, outside, inside and biting surface. Floss at least once if not twice a day. Use a C-shaped flossing motion, gently go under the gum tissue hugging the tooth surface. Toothpaste : use a fluoridated toothpaste or make sure if you are dry brushing to use a fluoride rinse or gel. Waterpiks, interdental cleaners (softpiks, or proxibrushes), postop toothbrushes, rinses, gels, use what works best for you consult your dental hygienist and dentist. II. Crown and Bridge Post Operative Instruction and Care of Temporary Restorations Preparing your tooth for a crown ( or a bridge if a missing tooth is involved generally involves two or more appointments. During treatment, your dentist will remove a portion of the tooth or teeth to fit the crown or bridge. An impression is made to provide an exact model of the prepared teeth. A temporary crown or bridge may be placed while the permanent one is made. What to Expect after Treatment Because temporary restorations eventually loosen, be sure to return to our dental office at the appointed time. Temporary cement allows you to wear the temporary restoration for a short period of time and to have it removed for further adjustment if needed. If you find the temporary crown or bridge feels “high”, call the dental office. Occasionally, the nerve of a tooth may die after a crown or bridge is permanently cemented, or even the temporary placed. If you experience continued discomfort, please call the office. While wearing the temporary restoration you may choose to not floss around the area to avoid accidentally pulling off the temporary. Please refrain from consuming anything “sticky”, “chewy” that would pull off , or “too hard or crunchy” that would pull off the provisional restoration. Taking Care of Your New Restoration To prevent damaging or fracturing the crown or bridge, avoid chewing hard food, ice, or objects such as pens and pencils. Brush twice a day and clean thoroughly between teeth with floss or an interdental cleaner. Clean around a crown the same as you would your natural teeth. Take special care to clean around and under the artificial teeth in a bridge. Thorough cleaning will remove plaque as well as odor-causing food debris. Help your gums and remaining natural teeth healthy by scheduling regular visits. III. Scaling and Root Planning Post Operative Instructions If anesthetized wait to eat until the local anesthetic wears off. If sensitive take 400mg or 600mg Ibuprofen, warm salt water rinses and soft foods for a day or so. Often the site where the anesthetic was placed is the most sensitive. IV. Root Canal Treatment Post Operative Instructions Your root canal treatment may take one or more visits to complete. During treatment, your dentist will remove the diseased pulp, then clean, shape and fill the root canal to prevent recontamination. What to Expect after Treatment Because cleaning the root canals may cause inflammation of tissue surrounding the tooth, you may experience some discomfort for a day or so. Over-the counter analgesics usually alleviate the discomfort. Talk with your dentist about which medication to take. If the discomfort continues, or if you have severe pain or swelling, call your dentist. Between appointments a temporary filling or crown is placed. Because temporary restorations will eventually loosen, see your dentist promptly following completed root canal treatment for a final restoration to prevent irreversible tooth damage and/or potential tooth loss. Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed to help control infection. Please take all medication as directed. How to Take Care of Your Mouth Avoid chewing or biting directly on the treated tooth until your dentist replaces the temporary restoration. If medication is prescribed, take it only as directed. Return for a follow – up exam after treatment, usually with a recall visit, as directed to make sure there has been proper healing of the tissues surrounding the tooth root. Retreatment May Occasionally be Necessary Even though the pulp of the tooth was removed, the tooth is still nourished from surrounding tissues. As with any living tissue, treatment is occasionally unsuccessful ( in that the body does not heal as expected) and retreatment , or removal of the tooth may be necessary. V. Invisalign Post Operative Instructions and Aligner Care Use the hard toothbrush, denture cleanser (Efferdent, or Stain Away) or distilled white vinegar-soak in lukewarm water for 10 to 15 minutes and place back in your mouth. Wear the aligners at all times unless eating or performing oral hygiene. Follow the schedule given and if you need to make adjustments , inform the dentist. You will be invited to a virtual confidential program, accept the invitations.

If you are looking for Santa Monica cosmetic dentistry, you’ll appreciate the conservative approach taken by our dentists.

This makes sure your cosmetic dentistry is strengthened by a solid foundation and will last. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve had a dental issue or how much (or little) repair work you need. The Hales and their brilliant staff have a variety of ways to make any smile more beautiful and radiant. Schedule Appointment An Amazing Smile Starts With Santa Monica Cosmetic Dentistry By Hale & Hale, DDS Jill Hannity was surprised by the way we approached her veneers: “They didn’t come in and spackle over what I had before. My dentist made sure that my gums and the entire structure was in pristine condition before he proceeded with my veneers. It was gorgeous, the work he did.” Hale & Hale, DDS dentists practice Santa Monica cosmetic dentistry with the belief that every smile, like every person, is unique; and strive to make sure your smile compliments your face and your bite. When you visit Hale & Hale, you will be presented with a wide range of cosmetic options suited to your needs. In most cases we can meet you for a cosmetic consultation on the same day you call. We will cover all of the options available to you and advise on which ones will work the best with your lifestyle. Here’s a tip: Cosmetic dentistry improves more than just the look of your smile. It improves you health too! A straight smile without gaps is easier to clean, which reduces your chance of developing future dental problems. And if your teeth are in good working order, you can see gains in your nutritional health because it will be easier to properly chew food. Some of the popular cosmetic dental procedures provided by Hale & Hale, DDS: Invisalign This clear, undetectable method is a great way to straighten teeth. It is as effective as traditional metal braces and is removable for brushing and eating! Tooth Whitening Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment to whiten and brighten the natural tooth enamel. The procedure can be done in the dental office with or without a light as well as at home with custom or stock (preloaded trays). The active ingredients vary depending upon the venue of the procedure and range from superoxyl (bleach), carmide peroxide with different strengths (custom trays) or hydrogen peroxide with different strengths ( pre-loaded trays). Composite Fillings Composite fillings are a very common solution for chipped, cracked, or worn teeth. The filling is matched to the color of your other teeth, so if you don’t want metal fillings, this is a great solution for you. Porcelain Crowns When a filling can’t restore the existing tooth structure, porcelain crowns are typically the solution. The crown completely covers the existing tooth, and because it’s custom-matched to the shape and color of your existing teeth, nobody will notice you have a crown at all. It’ll just look like you have great, natural looking teeth. Porcelain Fixed Bridges Porcelain fixed bridges are a permanent solution to missing teeth. There are a few different types of bridges, so the best way to determine the right solution for you is to discuss it in person. Nobody should have to live with missing teeth – let us help. Porcelain Veneers If you have chipped, dull, rotated or gapped teeth, ask us about porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are known to be the most durable, life-like , and esthetic cosmetic dental solutions for a plethora of dental challenges. Veneers are a rapid way to adjust the alignment, shape and size of your current teeth. Two visits typically a couple of weeks apart. Dental Imaging We have the ability to construct a computer simulated image from a digital photograph projecting a realistic finished smile for the patient. You deserve to love the look of your smile : the benefits last a lifetime and will have a positive influence on every face-to-face interaction you have.

Fluoride helps strengthen the teeth through a process called remineralization within the mineral bonds to the weakened areas of the tooth enamel. It also disrupts the acid production, helping to inhibit the process that leads to tooth decay. Flouride treatments can benefit both adults and children. Fluoride treatments can be done in the office and at home. In the office we apply now what is called a varnish to the enamel or apply fluoride in a stock tray for a minute, with both techniques we ask you to refrain from drinking and or eating for an hour. At home treatments are customized for our patients individual needs on a case by case basis.

This procedure, although lengthy and often extensive, can severely improve your quality of life, and the effects of birth defects, trauma, or neglect. Schedule Appointment You are a good candidate for full mouth reconstruction if: Your teeth are severely decayed Your teeth are severely chipped or broken You have many missing teeth You have had a traumatic injury to your teeth You have pain in your teeth, jaw or head and are in need of a jaw adjustment You have severe erosion of teeth enamel Your teeth are severely decayed Your teeth are severely chipped or broken You have many missing teeth You have had a traumatic injury to your teeth You have pain in your teeth, jaw or head and are in need of a jaw adjustment You have severe erosion of teeth enamel What is a full mouth reconstruction? Based on your personal needs, these procedures may involve: teeth cleaning, filing down or removing your natural teeth, crowns, bridges, fillings or veneers, braces, surgery to reposition your jaw, bone or tissue grafting. What is involved in a full mouth restoration in Santa Monica? Most full mouth reconstructions will take about 12 months, with multiple appointments. During your first appointment, a dentist will conduct an evaluation, do an oral exam, take X-rays, and discuss possible solutions with you. In subsequent appointments, your dentist or dental hygienist will work on your natural teeth, take molds, provide you with options, and possibly provide you with temporary solutions until your full restoration is complete.

Sleep Apnea can be a serious problem, and though millions of Americans suffer from the condition, few understand just how many problems it can cause. Schedule Appointment If you or your loved one snores, there’s a good chance that sleep apnea is the cause. Snoring is more than just annoying, when caused by sleep apnea it can be dangerous. It disrupts breathing patterns, which robs the brain of oxygen, causing damage every night, a little bit at a time. Sleep apnea can also have detrimental effects on other organs as well – the good news is that relief is easy to find when you know where to look: "I felt like I was in a dream all the time. I never really slept at night. My wife slept in the living room that we both hated. I was tired at work. Things were always foggy. And driving home at the end of the day was scary sometimes. I would fight to stay awake. My dentist worked with my doctor to treat my sleep apnea. He fitted me with a mouth piece that I can wear when I have trouble with my machine. I didn’t get an all or nothing option. The two things make sure that I’m getting rest every night. It’s made all of the difference in the world." Sam Temple Sleep Apnea risks and symptoms: Excessive daytime sleepiness Depression Increased risk of work-related or driving accidents Increased risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, obesity and diabetes Heartburn Insomnia Rapid weight gain Morning headaches The Most Common Kind of Sleep Apnea The most common kind of sleep apnea is called Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. Sleep apnea means “cessation of breath.” It is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction that occur during sleep, usually associated with a reduction in blood oxygen saturation. In other words, the airway becomes obstructed at several possible sites. The upper airway can be obstructed by excess tissue in the airway, large tonsils, and a large tongue and usually includes the airway muscles relaxing and collapsing when asleep. Another site of obstruction can be the nasal passages. Sometimes the structure of the jaw and airway can be a factor in sleep apnea. Our dentists have extensive sleep apnea diagnostic and treatment experience. They have restored the health of hundreds of their Santa Monica dental patients by focusing on real solutions and options. They examine your complete condition and works with your medical doctors to achieve optimal health. Find out whether sleep apnea may be preventing you from a good night’s sleep. If it is, Hale & Hale, DDS can get you relief! Give them a call at their Santa Monica dental office today !

Put the tooth in a container of milk or if not available hold it in your cheek and head to the dentist. Sometimes we can put it back in! Post op : Dental Extraction : no chewing for 24 hrs. once you are done biting on gauze, keep the area cold with ice chips. No rinsing or brushing till the next day PreOp Zoom : in office Dental Bleaching: take 400-600mg of ibuprofen 1 hour before visit…..not too much coffee as you have to sit in the chair undisturbed for about 2 hours Post op: Zoom : In Office Dental Bleaching : you may have some electric zings in your teeth for that evening, Ibuprofen helps but does not completely eliminate the pain but it will go away POST OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS I. Oral Hygiene Instructions Brush twice a day for two minutes each time. Divide your mouth into four areas: upper right, upper left, lower left and lower right; thirty seconds in each quadrant, outside, inside and biting surface. Floss at least once if not twice a day. Use a C-shaped flossing motion, gently go under the gum tissue hugging the tooth surface. Toothpaste : use a fluoridated toothpaste or make sure if you are dry brushing to use a fluoride rinse or gel. Waterpiks, interdental cleaners (softpiks, or proxibrushes), postop toothbrushes, rinses, gels, use what works best for you consult your dental hygienist and dentist. II. Crown and Bridge Post Operative Instruction and Care of Temporary Restorations Preparing your tooth for a crown ( or a bridge if a missing tooth is involved generally involves two or more appointments. During treatment, your dentist will remove a portion of the tooth or teeth to fit the crown or bridge. An impression is made to provide an exact model of the prepared teeth. A temporary crown or bridge may be placed while the permanent one is made. What to Expect after Treatment Because temporary restorations eventually loosen, be sure to return to our dental office at the appointed time. Temporary cement allows you to wear the temporary restoration for a short period of time and to have it removed for further adjustment if needed. If you find the temporary crown or bridge feels “high”, call the dental office. Occasionally, the nerve of a tooth may die after a crown or bridge is permanently cemented, or even the temporary placed. If you experience continued discomfort, please call the office. While wearing the temporary restoration you may choose to not floss around the area to avoid accidentally pulling off the temporary. Please refrain from consuming anything “sticky”, “chewy” that would pull off , or “too hard or crunchy” that would pull off the provisional restoration. Taking Care of Your New Restoration To prevent damaging or fracturing the crown or bridge, avoid chewing hard food, ice, or objects such as pens and pencils. Brush twice a day and clean thoroughly between teeth with floss or an interdental cleaner. Clean around a crown the same as you would your natural teeth. Take special care to clean around and under the artificial teeth in a bridge. Thorough cleaning will remove plaque as well as odor-causing food debris. Help your gums and remaining natural teeth healthy by scheduling regular visits. III. Scaling and Root Planning Post Operative Instructions If anesthetized wait to eat until the local anesthetic wears off. If sensitive take 400mg or 600mg Ibuprofen, warm salt water rinses and soft foods for a day or so. Often the site where the anesthetic was placed is the most sensitive. IV. Root Canal Treatment Post Operative Instructions Your root canal treatment may take one or more visits to complete. During treatment, your dentist will remove the diseased pulp, then clean, shape and fill the root canal to prevent recontamination. What to Expect after Treatment Because cleaning the root canals may cause inflammation of tissue surrounding the tooth, you may experience some discomfort for a day or so. Over-the counter analgesics usually alleviate the discomfort. Talk with your dentist about which medication to take. If the discomfort continues, or if you have severe pain or swelling, call your dentist. Between appointments a temporary filling or crown is placed. Because temporary restorations will eventually loosen, see your dentist promptly following completed root canal treatment for a final restoration to prevent irreversible tooth damage and/or potential tooth loss. Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed to help control infection. Please take all medication as directed. How to Take Care of Your Mouth Avoid chewing or biting directly on the treated tooth until your dentist replaces the temporary restoration. If medication is prescribed, take it only as directed. Return for a follow – up exam after treatment, usually with a recall visit, as directed to make sure there has been proper healing of the tissues surrounding the tooth root. Retreatment May Occasionally be Necessary Even though the pulp of the tooth was removed, the tooth is still nourished from surrounding tissues. As with any living tissue, treatment is occasionally unsuccessful ( in that the body does not heal as expected) and retreatment , or removal of the tooth may be necessary. V. Invisalign Post Operative Instructions and Aligner Care Use the hard toothbrush, denture cleanser (Efferdent, or Stain Away) or distilled white vinegar-soak in lukewarm water for 10 to 15 minutes and place back in your mouth. Wear the aligners at all times unless eating or performing oral hygiene. Follow the schedule given and if you need to make adjustments , inform the dentist. You will be invited to a virtual confidential program, accept the invitations.

Our office carries porcelain, Zirconia and composite crowns, which we use to improve your smile. Gone are the days of metal crowns, or metal crown bases; now, crowns look like natural teeth. Schedule Appointment What is a crown? A crown is a dental cap that is custom-fitted to the tooth, and placed on top of it. If your tooth is chipped, broken or worn down, a crown will be cemented on the tooth to make it look new. Currently, porcelain crowns are the best choice for creating the most natural look. With porcelain crowns, no one will be able to tell that they are not looking at your own teeth. Dental crowns can fortify your teeth for years. Dental crowns can restore both the functions and beauty of teeth that have been cracked, chipped, or damaged. These are typically performed in two visits two weeks apart. A provisional dental crown(s) is placed while you wait for your beautiful new dental crown to be bonded in at your second visit. Who can use crowns? Discuss getting a crown at your next dental appointment if you: Have a broken or worn down tooth Have discolored of misshaped teeth Have a weak or cracked tooth Have to cover a bridge or dental implant For more information or questions about getting porcelain crowns in Santa Monica, contact Hale & Hale, DDS .

Gum, or periodontal, disease occurs when bacteria and remains of food get stuck at and under the gums, and form plaque. Plaque then stars to mix with other natural minerals in the mouth to form a hard surface called tartar, which sticks to teeth, fillings and crowns. Over time, the tartar may lead to gum disease, which is characterized by red and swollen gums. Schedule Appointment If it has been sometime since your last dental visit or have been diagnosed with periodontal (gum) disease you may need more than a routine dental cleaning. This procedure is done typically in two visits with either topical (oraqix) or local anesthetic. The technique is to cleanse well below the gum line and remove unhealthy build up, and tissue and smooth the root surfaces for proper healing. Post operatively you should have minimal discomfort and custom instructions and home care is discussed at each visit. Make an appointment today to schedule your scaling and root planing in Santa Monica, or call us at 310.453.9631 for more information.
