Dental - October 2006

My daughter is nine and her dentist said I should take her to the orthodontist for braces. I know of other children in her class that have them, but she still has 4 teeth to lose. I know when I had braces I was 14, but nine seems way too young for me. am I wrong?

I'm 26 years old, and never been to the dentist. I have dental insurance now and I'm about to go for the first time. Don't get the wrong idea, my teeth are pretty straight, i brush regulary, I've just never been to the dentist office. Any advice or encouragement? I'll admit I'm a little scared.

I got my four wisdom teeth removed by surgery on September 29th,2006, which means that it has now been 11 days since. I did great the first few days, so I thought that I was recovering pretty quick.However, as of like this past weekend, or three or four days ago, I have been feeling like a throbbing pain in my bottom left gum. I looked in the mirror yesterday and see that I can kind of see a little bit of the teeth still there. Yesterday night it was really hurting, or I should say, uncomfortable, and even this morning, which means that I had to take my pain pills.I have my "post surgery checkup appointment" tommorrow, but, in the meantime, what do you think it could be? I know that it really can take up to 4-8 weeks for full recovery, however, why did I not experience any pain like this the days afer surgery and now two weeks later I am? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Our insurance does not pay for "silly gas" so he is just going to be numb from nasty shots. He is getting the canines pulled? -xXXXXx-
the little x's on the top. The large X's are the main four you lose when you are a little guy. He is almost 10 and he just got his braces off. The orthodontist wants these teeth pulled due to major crowding, he has a small mouth and some very macho teeth. Anyway. . .lol, my question issss. . .when we get home, any parental advice on what will make him feel better, what foods to eat, what will NOT hurts and so on? Thanks.

You put the tube in the bottom and you screw it up as you use the toothpaste,it stands up and holds the tube in place.

I take good care of my teeth, I brush and floss on a regular basis, I don't smoke or drink coffee, yet they are a yellowish color. It pisses me off that I take such good care of them and they look ugly. Does stress cause your teeth to decay maybe?

Dental phobia and extreme fear and panic are common in people with PTSD or childhood abuse survivors. I'm trying to find a dentist in my area that specializes in this.

i live in Minnesota.

Ok, so my son is 11 and he has several new teeth coming in but will not let me pull his teeth out (that are just setting on top of his new teeth) what should I do? Is it important that he gets those teeth out or is it ok that I just wait and let them fall out. Please give your advise??
