Dental - September 2006

My dentist told me years ago that it was because it's made of porcelain. My toilet is made of porcelain - it costs a lot less than a small tooth. Why are they so expensive?

I don't want a chek up or anything and hope they won't make me, I haven't been to the dentist in a couple years and don't have dental insurance; a filling broke out just now and I want it replaced. I know it varies depending on the dentist, I just want some sort of idea.

okay, one day I was just sitting there,and I noticed my jaw popped..? And ever since that very moment, it hasn't stopped! it's now been over 2-3 weeks! it goes down about 1 inch then pops/cracks and when I close my mouth it does the same. How did this happen? someone told me it could be from grinding my teeth..? but, I'm more worried about how to fix it! do I go to the doctor or the dentist? and another person told me the dr. has to Break my jaw and put it back into place..?! I'm kinda scared... Help?

Today i had a filling in my 47 it think, maybe 46 and when they gave me the needle it hurt like hell! then very quickly my tongue went numb and then my face. After a few minutes the whole side of my head was numb. I felt a bit dizzy as well. The dentist said just to go home and sleep and have lots of water. This usually doesnt happen, why this time?

It's kind of hard to know if your asleep so is there anything I can do to figure out if I have it using common household objects or whatever?

I just don't want to take any risks with my teeth and I want to stop worrying every night if I'm grinding away.

Thanks in advanced.

And is it ok to take your retainer off for certain meals? What happens if you don't keep your retainer on while you eat. I just got my bottom ones yesterday and are they supposed to hurt so much?
