Seeing two year olds and even one year old toddlers with passifiers in their mouths are my greatest pet peeve. To me a plug should be taken away not later than six months. How old do you feel a baby should be when passifier is removed?

I tripped a couple of days ago and chipped one of my front teeth. Of course, my dentist can't fit me in to fix the problem for three weeks, so he recommended over-the-counter temporary filling material to hold me over. The problem is -- eek -- I'm a smoker and a cola addict, and my teeth aren't as bright white as they should be, even after dental cleanings, etc. However, the filling material is incredibly bright white. Does anyone know anything I can do to tint this stuff when I apply it so at least it doesn't scream "Hey, look at the guy with the screwed up front tooth"?

I mean, maybe it's just my dentist's office, but all of the ladies that work on your teeth look like models. Way to make me feel good about myself while my teeth are being stared down.

I am very strict with my children about brushing their teeth. But it appears that my 7 year old doesn't pay enough attention to his back teeth. He complained the other day about a toothache and so I got out the flashlight and inspected his mouth and realized he had a pretty good cavity going on in his last molar... you know, in the very back. I took him to the dentist today and the dentist says that he needs a root canal on that tooth. WHAT ?!?!? I have NEVER heard of a child getting a root canal. Has anyone else?

So I went to the oral surgeon today, and I'm going in on the 23rd to get my 4 wisdom teeth removed. I am doing local anestetic, and not getting knocked out for it.

My question is, how bad will this hurt under standard local anestetic? Will I just feel the pressure of them working on my teeth? My top two teeth are really decayed already, so I hope that in someway is a good thing in the removal.

Any help would be appreciated!

After I start my braces treatment, I found out I am pregnant. Although both my OBGY and orthodontist said it's ok and safe to have braces during prenancy. Now, after I got my braces ajusted yesterday, I feel so much pain in my mouth. I couldn't even eat or relax becuase of the pain. The bad part is I can not take any pain killer like before becuase of my prenancy. Any Ideas I can do to relieve some of my pain?

I went to the dentist this morning and received anaesthetics in my lower right gums and I've been feeling very dizzy for the last hour or so. It's been about 6 hours since the anaesthetic. Just wondering if this dizziness is common and anything I should worry about. Thanks!

I have very severe pain in my jaw. I have had one of my wisdome teeth removed but have three that were impacted half under the skin, but now have fully emerged, and then broken off. The molar that is located where the wisdome tooth that was pulled has broke off and there is only half a tooth. I believer that is were my pain is coming from now. It hurts really bad radiating upwards and downwards to my sholder. My neak hurts to turn, it hurts to open my jaw, and at times it feels as if it hurts to take a breath. My head on that one side feels as if some one is picking at it with a knife. If I went to the emergancy room, with no ins. would they help me? I wont have ins untill the beg. on august but I am in too much pain. colve oil doesnt work, peroide doesnt work, ibuprofen doesnt work. What can I do?

I've got a cavity in my tooth that hurts when I eat anything sweet, and is starting to hurt a bit now when I have really cold things too. I phoned the dentist today and they can't give me an appointment until mid September. How long does it take a cavity to go from what I've described to a proper toothache and a totally rotten tooth that needs extracted?

I phoned the dentist today to get an appointment because I've got a cavity in my tooth and I need to get it filled, but they're fully booked until mid September unless it's "an emergency". I said it wasn't, but how much pain should I put up with before I decide it IS an emergency?

Just now, the tooth hurts if I eat anything sweet, and it's starting to get a bit sensitive to cold things. But I don't have a constant toothache or anything like that (mind you, the pain when I eat sweet stuff, although brief, is ******* sore!!!)

When does it become an emergency? Is it only if it gets to the stage of having a constant toothache?

The gum in between one of my teeth has been swollen and red for about a week now. I have a crown right next to it that I had put in two years ago. It is painful but not unbearable. I was just wondering if I should be worried. I have used salt water and listerine every day now and it is not helping. I don't have insurance and can't afford to go see a dentist if it is something normal.
