Dental - September 2006

Why do we brush our teeth with poison everyday? I just read the label on my tube of paste and I'm very weirded out by it. Even if it is in small traces it might all add up after 20, 30 years. To think I used to swallow it sometimes.

My daughter is 10 and I know she's headed for needing braces. A girl in her class last year (4th grade) had braces, which I think is too young. What age do they usually get them? I haven't taken her to an orthodontist yet.

I have always thought about death. Killing myself. It has become normal for me to think about it whenever I get real depressed. Lately, I've noticed cavities in my front teeth getting larger and larger. They HURT! My upper front teeth are decaying and that is something I know is socially unacceptable and unhealthy to look at!
I would like to know: would it be better just to go to the dentist (with luck that I would have pain relievers) that would fix my teeth?? They look bad enough, surely with all my front teeth hurting my gums like hell. My other option is -- just dying off. I am still "young" so I don't know what to think.
No one is around to listen to my problems, so I am stuck posting this question to you all. (They have their own, and I bet you all have yours, too)
I don't have a lot of money to do much in life. So that leaves out a lot of options for me. My parent says that insurance will have to wait till next month. Hurrah, by next month, all my teeth will turn brown and rot.

Or will they just stay up there? Or worse, do they come in where there is no gum?

We "ALL" use dental floss, except those that have NO natural teeth, but who reuses their OWN used floss, after washing it out two or more times, or better still, reuses it several times WITHOUT washing it out?

My son will need braces for 1 year according to orthodontist. We will be moving to a small island in the Atlantic Ocean that has very limited dental services. My son will have had the braces on for about 7 months when we move there. There is an orthodontist that comes to the island 3 to 4 times a year to do follow up work for people that have any orthodontic work. How often will my son need to see the orthodontist while the braces are on? Will ot be ok for him to see the orthodontist once or twice during the last 5 months of his year?

Some people say that a good way to ease the pain is to crush ASPIRIN and apply it on the spot.

They also say that Aspirin is better to crush than Tylenol or Ibuprofen, because Aspirin is WATER SOLUBLE.
So what are the benefits of that?

I have four teeth that are broken - one top front, on side front and two molars in the back that are actually broken to the gum line. I took medication for a long time that caused "dry mouth" and I didn't realize the damage it would do to my teeth. They are so weak that they break on things like rice cakes! Oh, and they hurt for sweet, cold and hot. I won't have dental insurance for another 60 days at least. How can I get help now that would be very inexpensive or maybe even free? Dental schools? I live in Dallas and maybe there's something available because it's such a big place? I'm actually losing weight because I can't eat due to pain. I'm taking way too much Advil to even be able to get by.

My friend has had trouble with his teeth for some time now. He cannot seem to get access to a local NHS dentist, although he is entitled. It doesn't seem fair that he would have to travel over 100 miles for basic/decent treatment, and is consequently leaving it to fate.

is it true that when you get them removed, your personality changes a bit (in a good way)?
