I didn't believe that they actually used clorox bleach when I asked how they got their teeth so white, so I made them show me. and they did! They put a small amt. of bleach on a washcloth and rubbed it on their teeth carefully then rinsed. They said their dentist said it was ok. Has anyone else ever heard of this? or tried it? I don't know what to think about it...it sounds too risky.

How affordable are braces? What if you haveno insurance, or if you do? I am a little bit older, so has anyone used the invisible ones? Are they really invisible. I am interested in getting braces, but worried about price, and would like to know how much some paid. Montly prices? And, about the invisible ones. My teeth arent too bad, a small gap in the top row, and a bit of crowding in lower, other than that pretty good shape. Just had parents who didnt want to splurge on braces I guess!

I don't know what to do. HELP! My dentist has been on me for about 2 years now to get a bridge. He says it's going to be about $2300 per tooth & I need 2. My insurance pays half but that'll still run me about $2300 for both. Plus I heard that when you get a bridge it connects to the 2 teeth on each side of the space & it messes those teeth up in the long run. I have also heard that those teeth get filed down. I don't want to mess up 4 other healthy teeth. My husband & I are saving for a house right now & I don't know what to do...please help!

We had a fairly casual oral hygeine routine for my 22-month old until recently we noticed bad breath and more plaque buildup (we assumed it was due to changing diet). After beginning a more aggressive brushing routine, we noticed the top half of his upper front teeth have moderate decay. (The rest of his teeth are spotless :( ) Our dental insurance kicks in in two weeks, and I have two questions: given that we are now taking scrupulous care of his teeth, will it advance quickly enough that we should run him to a dentist RIGHT NOW and deal with the debt, or will it hold steady? And two, can I cause more damage to his teeth through incautious cleaning until they are repaired? Please, I'm begging anyone with dental training to help me.

I'm 48 now and when I was 2 years old I was very sick with 106' temp. They gave me some kind of med...myacin??. My perm. teeth that came in were discolored. I was teased my whole childhood over it. The dentist I have been seeing sold me a 320.00 kit to whiten and it didn't do a thing!! It costs over a thousand $$ a tooth to have each tooth capped. Anything cheaper???

Oral sedation because the child needs to be sedated in order to have dental operation performed on several teeth. Is this going to be bad for him in the long run? He doesnt have a history of heart disease or respiratory disorders. Physically, emotionally and mentally is it going to affect him adversely?

He has grown an abscess near a dead tooth and abscesses are generally a bad thing because it leads to cellulitis.

I would appreciate a kind hearted response, thank you.

I have TMJ really bad. Sometimes my jaw pops out of place when I yawn.I have horrible headaches and jaw pain. I've also suffered with ringing ears and hearing loss. The problem has just been getting worse and I know it's time to get it fixed. I have two problems:I need to find a dentist that works with patients that can't open their mouths wide and also I need to find a dentist who will finance any work I need done to correct the TMJ. Any suggestions? I live in Cleveland, Ohio

My teeth seem more loose lately (might be my imagination though). I have heard that eating ruffage is good for strong teeth, and milk of course. What are some of the foods that are good for strong, solid teeth? What are the bad foods for teeth?

Everytime I buy an electric toothbrush, after a few weeks, they quit working. Them things are expensive. They can't come up with something to make them last longer? You'd think with all the money they make on them they could do something....

One of my premolars...

2006-06-15 15:38:07 · 14 answers · asked by *Summer*Twyla* 2

About a month ago, I noticed slight gum recession on my top front 6 teeth. They seem slightly red at the bottom in between the teeth and one tooth is slightly puffy. They do not bleed or hurt. My dentist said it was probably just due to brushing too hard and recommened an electric toothbrush.

I bought a Sonicare 4100 Advanced. While my teeth feel cleaner and I am very cafeful not to brush too hard, I feel like my teeth still gradually recede about every other day. Is it all in my head or could the Sonicare be the problem too?

PS I saw a periodontist too and he said my gums are healthy but I still don't trust him... neither the dentist or the periodontist gave me much time of the day
