does anyone know of any medications that you can take before you go to the dentist to help you relax? I am petrified of the dental office and it only makes things worse. i was going to ask my Dr. for some xanax or some valium.

I am about to get braces. I already have the separators in my mouth and am getting braces next week and I wanted to know does it hurt when they're putting it in, what about after, and what kinds of food can I eat?

I don't have dental insurance (I will when I go back to college), and my wisdom tooth in the bottom left hand corner is acting up again. The dentist I used to see always told me that the reason they didn't bother me when I was younger is because they're not coming in like most people's are, so I never got them removed. Now the pain is there, but only in that one tooth. What can I do for relief?

I jsut recently got one of my wisdom teeth in, i'm 18, i don't know if age matters or not. But my jaw doesn't hurt, it jsut feels weird. So if anyone has any comments on this, it would be appreciated, Thanks

I went to a dentist today for the first time in 5 years and she said I needed what probably amounts to $5000 or more in dental work. !5 cavities, bone loss, pockets etc. I brush twice a day and floss daily, eat a healthy diet and I seem to have no problems or pains now. It was a free promotional dental checkup by a telemarketer. Do you think she's being honest? Its a very nice new office with all modern equipment etc. Should I get a second opinion from another dentist? How do I get an objective opinion?

Okay, so I usually have a bad taste in my mouth and a brown tongue. A tactless friend with a keen nose swears I don't usually have bad breath, but it's still gross. Anyway, I heard of a cure for bad breath that involves gargling with a solution of one part salty water to one part hydrogen peroxide. It works wonders! So imagine my dismay to learn that even diluted hydrogen peroxide can irritate your mouth and cause a condition called hairy tongue. Everything I could find just said that repeated use does this, but they didn't say how often you need to do it to cause a problem. Is there any safe amount I can do this, like every other day or once a week? If not, do you have any other ideas? Regular brushing and tongue scraping don't work, nor does mouthwash.

I went to the dentist today, because I need a lot of work, and I wanted to start getting it done. Anyway, I have a couple of cavities. The dentist said I have a "3 surface cavity"... what is that? How many surfaces of a tooth is there?? He recommended that I fill that one first, and that one is the most painful one... it gives me headaches sometimes. Anyway, I'm going back to the dentist wednesday for a cleaning, and then I have to get the fillings... But my question is... what is a 3 surface cavity... and how many surfaces does a tooth have?

I need to have mercury amalgam fillings removed. I plan to have this done in the near future. It has caused a great deal of health problems for me.

i smoked the same night well I took a couple of pulls through out the whole 3 days that you are not supposed to smoke. But I didn t smoke as much as I usually do. And I was really careful. I also rinsed after. except for the first night.

Now the site is yellowish and I have a very bad taste in my mouth. my tooth doesnt hurt at all. It just feels like i have something in my mouth.
I take my antibiotics on time. I stopped taking the pain medication when the pain stopped.

What is it supposed to feel like after 5 days?

What could be causing a toothache that you barely notice, doesn't hurt when you eat sweets or anything cold or anything for that matter. That would actually make it so the same tooth but on opposite sides have the ache. Nothing makes it feel better or worse. I've had it for 3 days or so now. Haven't had my wisdom teeth taking out, but they haven't came in either. Only thing I can come up with is maybe it's a sinius problem, I have had a headache for the past couple days aswell and I know sinius aches can sometimes cause toothaches.

Hi! Need some advice please. My daughter is 11 and needs braces, she has a little bit of everything with her teeth; overcrowding, crooked, overbite, etc.

One ortho said he would have to extract 4 molars, and he doesn't do a palate expander. The other Ortho said - "no problem, no need for teeth extracting, she will benefit from the palate expander to make room for teeth movement.

My husband and I have also had braces when kids and we had teeth pulled as well. Funny enough, the first ortho we consulted with is the same ortho that did my husband's braces years ago!! He is very well in his late 70's or early 80's, although he looks really good and still has a great rep with his practice. The other ortho, i know my cousins had braces with and were very satisfied. I'm only asking if you think i should go for teeth extracting or not, it looks like it can be done either way, my daughter, doesn't want her teeth pulled though. Thanks!!!!!!!

I have had nothing but problems with my bottom extractions. The dentist said I did not appear to have dry sockets, but the pain I described to him said it sounded like I did. The stitches he put in didn't hold even until I got home that first day, and that is when the pain began. Anyway, things started to get better around week 5, where the holes were clearly starting to close up, but in this past week, I now have what looks like swollen gum tissue that is sort of bubbled up, and I don't know what to do. I have since moved from the area, on my way to live in another country. Before I see a dentist, I want some opinions on what could have caused this. It is sore, and I have a hard time chewing on that side, which at 8 weeks, should not be a problem!!!!

I had a root canal on my back tooth and they filled it or some thing but they never put the "cap" on it. I was going to wait to have that done. Any ways I was eating last night and I broke half of that tooth off and it hurts like hell. I never have felt pain like this before. I kick box and have been kicked in the balls before and still think my toothache might be worse. I will not be able to go to the dentist until Friday. what can I do. Im 2 sec away from trying to just pull the tooth out my self. Oral gel dose nothing. over the counter pain meds do nothing and I cant get any sleep with this pain. what can I do?
