I had 3 impacted wisdom teeth removed Oct. 12 its now Oct. 25. I had 2 top ones removed & 1 bottom on the left side. I had a root canal performed on the last left side bottom molar tooth probably about a 3 weeks or so before i had my wisdom teeth removed. It still has the temporary filling in. The root canalled tooth started hurting (a faint throbbing i guess) about a week into my recovery from my wisdom teeth removal. anyone know why? I wish someone (my dentist) or (oral surgeon) would have told me to get a root canal after my wisdom teeth were pulled. Any help would be appreciated... I’m having lots of anxiety. I go back to my oral surgeon Thursday and I will be asking him. But I feel like they always say "that’s normal" or "it takes time to heal" blah
& i have to say that the left side of my face where i had upper/lower wisdom teeth extracted still feels weird. not painful just the upper gums in the back feel weird. it hurts to suck in my cheeks to put blush on.

I'm just curious, 'cause I seem to get canker sores a LOT for no resaon, and I think maybe my saliva is a little more acidic than normal. I just want to compare my saliva's Ph to normal (I'm probably going to do some type of litmus test, I think, I'm not quite sure, but I'll know when I see it, lol!)

Is it worth getting your teeth whitening or bleach.

i had unprotected sex 6 years ago and never got tested. i did not have any protected or unprotected sex since then. i went to labcorp and got an elissa hiv test and it came back non reacitive hiv 1 and novreactive hiv 2 . this is 5 years after the incident. NOw my tongue is a bit white. i wen to 4 doctors who all gave me different diagnoses. one said it was acid reflux, one said maybe dehydration due to fasting long hours without water, one said thrush and one said it was a from taking antibiotics. i took penicilin, bioxin, and amoxicllin for a span of 1 month after not taking any anitbiotics for 4 years. but it has been 1 month since then. are hiv test accurate after 4 years, and is my anxiety causing me to have dry mouth or what.

I saw that Crest whitening stripes have sodium hydroxide as an ingredient. It's the same ingredient which is used for toilet bowl cleaning. Isn't this harmful for the teeth? I looked at the Kroger whitening stripes package. There is no sodium hydroxide. Crest is worse and more expensive, Kroger is better and cheaper. Did anybody notice this difference? Who tried Kroger whitening stripes? When my braces will be removed I finally can try it. Do the whitening stripes work?

I know it sounds weird but I need real teeth for a science fair project. Anyone know where I could get some real teeth or animal teeth to use for the project? Would a dentist have some to spare?
