Indiviual is on medicare but no other insurance. Has no other financial rescource. Plus she is disabled and not near any dental school which still costs alot and long waiting lists. She has 2 artificial knees so infection is an issue, also. I am also disablied and not able to help with money.

It was a year-long, expensive process and she's very unhappy with the final result. She could see the metal somewhat when she had the fakey tooth (like a retainer), but it seems worse now that they added the tooth itself. It's the tooth next to her front tooth, so it's visible in her smile. It is not just an issue of the gumline, but through half the gum the metal shows darkly. She's concerned that it is an issue of the placement of the post and there will be nothing she can do to resolve it. She had the tooth itself put on a couple weeks ago and has an appt. scheduled in a couple more weeks. Is this a natural step, like the gum will bulk up over time? Does anyone have any ideas about what her options are/will be? Thank you!

When?

What toothpaste is the best?

Believe me...this is important stuff! For a few reasons...but mostly because it's for a $25 bet! : )

I feel embarrassed because im 29 and never got braces when i've always needed them. My mom never got them for me and i've never been able to afford them until now. But im so embarrassed, even when i just go to the dentist they tell me i need braces i was always embarrassed to tell them i couldnt afford them while 12 and 13 year olds have them. Is it too late? My teeth are pretty darn crooked,( and i have some good insurance now) I dont even smile in my pics. Im very pretty but my crooked teeth have made me ashamed to smile.

I know no sugar definitely helps, but does the caffeine also hurt your teeth?

I am getting a root canal. The dentist is charging me $200 for the sleep dentistry pill. I realize that the tooth will be numbed, so I won't feel much, if anything. Should I also pay $200 for sleep dentistry?

It took going to my dentist, my endodontist and my oral surgeon to get this figured out. Pretty scary to have a lump on the side of your jaw.
I was pretty scared but am better now. They have me on penicillin. Anyone ever had this and have any comments on how long it takes for the lump and tenderness to go away??

I just had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out. How long do I have to keep the gauze in? In just hours after my surgery the bleeding has died down significantly. I even put tea bags in my mouth to help blood clots to form. If the gauze is mostly pink with some red, do I take that gauze out and not put another one. When I go to bed do I have to leave gauze in my mouth?

I don't know what to do, I went to the dentist (my husband's brother) and he implanted bugs in my teeth. Now I have to type everything, because if I talk it's all recorded. A friend told me to put tin foil on my head, and it should stop the transmitting to the recorder, but I don't think it's working.

I've got some teeth that got kind of bad over the years because I had braces and related stuff for about 6 - 7 years.

Now they glow pretty yellow under the blacklight ;-) And there's a few dark stain spots.

I'd really like to brighten these puppies up.. and I'm not talking "just a smidge", after applying this gel for 30 days, and it only lasts 2 weeks.

Any recommendations? horror stories? suggestions? any idea if insurance is ever game on this kind of thing?

I need to find a Good endodontist for a root canal. The one that was recommended is not on my dental plan, and expensive. Has anyone used Alicia Gray in Allen, TX?
