Teeth at first form plaque which can turn into calcified deposits right at the gum line. These calcified deposits may show up even with meticulous cleaning. They are referred to as calculus or tartar. It is rough and can harbour many kinds of bacteria. If left unchecked these calcified deposits can lead to gingivitis, making the gums inflamed and prone to bleeding.
Dentists are paid by how many canals are treated. Molars usually have three canals (but sometimes 4 and very rarely 5), premolars may have one or two, and front teeth usually have one canal. Treatment time may vary from 30 minutes to 2 hours, rarely more. A filling repair then needs to be added on with additional time and expense.
People are told this all the time by dentists and doctors to basically say they have something wrong with their jaw joint. This is an unfortunate term as there is no useful information in this term. TMJ is an acronym for temporomandibular joint where the temporal bone of the skull interacts with the ball (condyle) of the mandible.
The jaw joints (the TMJ's), are intimately related with this. These ball joints usually sit loosely in a shallow depression in the base of the skull just in front of the ears. Loosely means they are not locked in like an elbow joint is. When the jaws open they can move like a hinge. They can also slide forward.
A full crown is a casing that goes around the entire part of the tooth that is visible covering all of it from the biting surface right down to the gum line. The rule of thumb we use to decide if a tooth needs a crown is: If there is more filling material than remaining tooth structure holding this filling material then we seriously recommend placing a crown over it - the 50/50 rule.

Our family have been coming to Dr. Olesen's office since the early '90's when we moved from Vancouver. We were in need of a dedicated and professional Dentist because of our dental conditions and we knew that we required many different types of corrective work. Dr. John has always been very thorough, kind and dilligent with all three of us and we each have completely different types of teeth. We are very happy to have found the best of care. Administration, Dental Assistants and Hygienists are all just as equally pleasant and attentive.

Got work done here, didn’t do a good job and within a month my tooth has fallen out. It coming our wrecked the rest of my teeth and they won’t hold themselves accountable. They said they would fix it and now I’ve tried 4 times to get back in and they won’t do the work. Go somewhere else where the people at the front desk actually do their job.

Dr. Olsen and his staff are so professional and caring. I didn't used to be crazy about dental visits but this office makes it a nice experience. Dr. Olsen takes the time to explain exactly what he's doing. It's actually quite interesting. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a great dentist.
