Dental - August 2006

I'm a girl on 16 who noticed that sometimes my tongue can be grey/white on the top. I have a good dental hygine, brush teeth in the morning and at night and never once before had any problems with my mouth.

My older sister says its because i dont eat right(I dont eat much, but im not overweight or underweight. Perfectly average. But its not cause I'm on a diet or anything, I'm just rarely hungry)

I used a tongue brushed for a some months, but there were no signs to improvement. Anyone have any idea what causes a white tongue? Is it not eathing healthy?

Would be nice to know! Thank you.

i have been dating my girl for about 5 months now almost. she needed to go to dentist for checkup so i took her everything was good andthey did cleaning for her well everybody gets a cleaning every 6 months anyways. i have good white nice teeth and when she came out of the office she said her teeth are great and then we started talking about teeth for 10 seconds and i told her that i have a gap in my teeth at the bottom. its the second to last tooth that is missing a very small gap. u cant even see it even when i smile its impossible to see that it only if i widen my lips with my fingers widely. and she never knew that and it was all good and when i told her she started freaking out. i mean y, she never knew or even saw i had a gap everythin was fine until i told her and she freaked out.

In a couple of years or so, I will undergo jaw surgery to correct my underbite, which I've had since I was a kid (the retainer didn't work).

Will it be painful afterward? I need the surgery because sometimes I get a little bit of pain near where my jaw connects to my skull (sometimes it's uncomfortable just letting my upper jaw sit in place). Plus, I don't want to look like Jay Leno forever and my ORTHO said that if I didn't get it while I'm young, it would screw up my teeth when I'm much older.

I'm currently a dental assistant in a booming NJ area. I know salaries vary by state, but i would like to know what the maximum for a registered dental assistant in NJ is. I've been assisting for 6 years and have recently become registered with the state. I'm my bosses right hand and I KNOW that he will not find someone who works with him so well that easily if i were to leave. The most i've seen offered to RDA's is $25 an hour, which i still dont think is enough if you're such an important asset to a dental practice. Any insight from doctors or other dental assistants out there? I'm competent in all of my expanded duties and highly trained in CEREC technology. I'm almost designing my own restorations. I think 25 an hour is BS. what do you think?

the periodontists are relentless-they want me to make a career out of going to them-now they say gum surgery. What a nightmare that is and I don't believe it will solve anything as the bacteria returns. Also, I am getting massively mixed messages, as the periodontist/dentist/hygenist all disagree. I am convinced there is a kinder, less intrusive, healthier way of dealing with this-anyone have experience with this-would appreciate your feedback
because so far no one is explaining much of anything to me. What I do know is that I do not want to put myself through the agony of gum surgery and I have heard too many sordid tales from those who have.

I had my brayces on for two years and 4 months and im getting them off soon and want to know if it is going to hurt. One time my bracket popped off and that didnt hurt, but when they had to take the cement off my tooth it hurt really bad and i dont know if it will feel worse when i get them all off. My friends said they hurt worse on their bottom teeth. is that true? if you could help me out that would be great, thanks.

I know they say not to use whitening toothpaste because underneath the brackets will stay the same, but I assume that smoking will do the same. I'm just curious on anyone else's thoughts on this.

Im worried that the one above it will be affected. The dentist said that it goes a brown colour because it had an infection, after it was hit so hard. It is turning colour already, it was hit about 4 weeks ago.

The reason for the retreatment because my current x-ray shows that I still have little nerve in the canal. The x-ray are taken by my new dentist. Also I do not like my old dentist because he sucks
