Dental - October 2006

The tooth is the one next to the wisdom tooth, second from the back. The outer side of it (only 0.5mm thick) has fractured beneath the gum line and is loose. The rest of the tooth seems to be fixed in the socket. What are my options? Is an extraction the only possibility and, if so, what options do I have to replace the tooth? I feel sad that I may lose one of my teeth :-(

I want to whiten my teeth quickly and have always wondered something. If I brushed my teeth from 8am to 10pm, besides a stinging mouth, would it have the same effect as if I brushed them say 3 times a day for three months? Would it whiten them immediately? This is a serious question!!

Traditional Indian Medical practitioners insist on the use of 'Terminalia Chebula' (one of the 3 Myrobalans) and other herbs to keep the teeth strong and diseas-free. What is the role of fluoride in tooth-paste and is it really hamful?

I am an orthodontist, and I am having a problem with Invisalign right now. They claim that they have no record of my certification, which occurred during my residency. Any experience with this?

I've seen in many films that most of the people after brushing their teeth are spitting the toothpaste and drying their lips with a towel. We normally spit and then rinse our mouth with water to clear the remaining paste particles. Is there an additional healthy (?) effect of the remaining paste/flouride on teeth, is it to keep the freshness of menthol in the mouth for a longer time, or is it to save water or what??

I had it all removed at the dentist's 2 months ago and it's coming back. I don't drink tea, coffee, alcohol and only have curry about every 6 weeks. What's causing this? I have immaculate oral hygiene, but I just don't know what's going on.

I have a cavity and I guess its really small. Im getting it filled in a week. If I brush it really good maybe 4 times a day until my appointment, will the cavity go away-- or be small enough that they dont have to fill it?

Hello, about 4 days ago I had heart palpitations in the car on the way to work, so I cut back on my daily cup of coffee, but this did not work, they came back at least once a day. Now I notice that when I get up my heart feels like its pounding in my chest, like I just ran a sprint, then it cools down after 10 seconds. I haven't really worked out for the past month due to my job, but before that I would workout every other day, lift weights, etc. Could I already be getting out of shape, or could something else be causing this? I have cut all all caffeine, alcohol, but something just doesn't feel right, I was thinking it might be this wisdom tooth that is coming through, my breath is horrible.. could this be causing anything?
