My dentist has told me that I need to get an ultrasonic or rotadent toothbrush. I'm trying to figure out the best one to get. I am expecting to spend 100 dollars, but just want to make a good purchase. His office sells the rotadent brand. I am also getting braces in a few weeks. So which one would be best for that? Or are they all the same? Thanks!

It seems to me that my incidences of colds have dropped considerably when I started to scrape my tongue. In fact, when I do get a cold, I scrape much more often which lessen the severity of my colds. Has anyone else notice this? If so, there might be more of a benefit to cleaning the tongue other than just a cleaner mouth.

On the top left, the 2nd molar. It's been sore since I got up this morning. The same one on the bottom left hurts as well. It's a constant ache, if I bite down hard on it, it feels better. I think I might have been clenching my teeth overnight, I've been kind of stressed recently and I know I sometimes clench my teeth during the day, so I guess I probably do at night as well.

Anyway, does it sound like it could be because of clenching my teeth? If so, what's the best thing to do to get rid of the pain, firstly right now, and secondly in the long term?

About a month ago I had my existing filling re-done. Job done, I thought. However, a week later the pain returned even worse and was excruciating to even think of touching it, never mind eating or talking. Went back to the dentist, he suspected an abscess and gave me antiobiotics for a week. The pain certainly stopped. However, my gum has started to get sore again and now my tooth is wobbly!!! I have to wait another week to see my dentist - has this happened to anyone before and is my tooth on its way out? I HATE TEETH!!

I have braces, and when I went to my last ortho, they said my gums are very "inflamed". They said to be sure to floss, but i sucked at flossing before i got braces. It's basically impossible. Is there anything else that cleans like flossing does?

My concern is the sodium saccarine that is in my mouthwash, I don't know if that's a type of sugar that can cause cavities, and I've been prone to cavities in the past so I'm trying to avoid them by being more conscious of my oral hygiene.

The crown feels stable, but sometimes when I accidentally tap the tooth against something, it feels as though something inside is moving slightly. I heard that it could be the post and that I shouldn't worry about it. What do you think? I don't want my crown 2 fall off!

HELP!!

I constantly have bad breath, I brush 2 times a day, floss, use mouth wash, I use a tongue scrapper and everything, I've even taken pills that claim bad breath is caused by something in your stomach. Nothing seams to be helping. I'll chew on gum or have a mint when it gets really bad but it does not last for to long. I really need some help please.
