3 weeks ago my mouth was really swore so i looked at the part of the mouth that was swore and i saw like a white spot. 1 week later it was gone and then a couple days later my mouth was swore again so I looked at the part that was swore and there was another white spot but i thought i would look at the other spot and it was gone. 1 week after that the swore in my mouth was gone and the white spot was gone and now it just came back and its in the front of my mouth and it hurts like hell. Do you know what the cause of this could be?

I'm getting my braces off in two weeks. I'm missing about 8 adult teeth (my wisdom teeth and 4 others...) and my top retainer will have 2 teeth on it (i'm missing both of my canines). My question is, is it hard to eat with the false teeth? has anyone had them or had the same problem as me? My ortho. really hasnt said much about it when i asked him.

Any advice from any of you people that have had the same problem? I hope I made sense...

Ok, when I was like eleven I started neglecting my teeth. Up until I was eleven I had no cavities, or anything wrong with my teeth. Then for some god awful reason I neglected my teeth, I went from brushing them every night and morning to just brushing them like once a day and sometimes only every other day.I know it's disgusting and I am so embrassed and ashamed of my teeth now. I am now 16 and I have a ton of cavities to get filled. I have now developed a fear of the dentist, so much that on the way to the dentist, I start having panic attacks. Is there any way to over come this fear. And please don't say...ew gross or you should of taken better care of your teeth and you wouldn't have problems...cause I hear enough of that from my parents! Please tell me anyways to over come this fear so that I can get my teeth fixed in peace..

Has anyone here been sedated (put to sleep) for wisdom teeth and if so how soon were you able to eat real food again? How soon were you able to go back work? What should someone expect (besides pain) for the first couple of days after the surgery?

I had a horrible experience at my last dentist visit because they seemed to delibrately find things wrong with my teeth like the "free brake inspection" ploy. They found reasons for me to have further dental work done from a filling to a crown. Well, after a year of thinking I'm somewhat worried about my front tooth because there is a hairline crack running through it but when x-rayed, it did not show. I have no pain or sensitivity in that tooth. I no longer have dental insurance and all the plans I've looked at require a waiting period of about 12 months until I am partially covered for a crown. I don't want to wait that long because I'm afraid this crack can spread to my root at anytime. I don't know what to do? Are there any alternative dental plans where there are no waiting periods? Or should I just pay out of pocket money? Also, does anyone happen to know the average cost for a top quality crown? This is my front tooth we're talking about here and I want the very best.

I brush and floss my teeth after every meal and that's usually just three times a day. Is flossing too much bad?

I have a broken tooth on my uppper right side. It just recently started to cause alot of pain. To the point where I can't sleep and barely eat. I am 6 weeks pregnant and went to a dentist who said the tooth needs to be pulled but because of the tooth being broken like it is I have to go to an oral surgen. I have an appt tomorrow but I'm afraid he wont pull the tooth. Does anyone know if the dentist will pull the tooth even under local anestesia.

My son is 4 years old. I don't have a problem getting him to brush his teeth....but he really doesn't like the taste of toothpaste. I've tried every kind out there and nothing seems to work. Sometimes I struggle with him and make him use the toothpaste...other times it's just not worth the battle. Is is really necessary for a little one to use toothpaste as long as they are brushing(well, I'm brushing)his teeth OK without it? Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get him to like the taste better?

New product where you rinse after you brush and its supposed to prevent gingivitis and whiten. Does it work? The thing is noticed is it has a bad chemical-ish aftertaste.

I went to the dentist for a regular tooth filling two weeks ago. My thong is still num (frozen) after 2 weeks and it really feels odd when I eat.. What can I do to get rid of it??

I don't have any fillings (at least, not any with metal of any sort in them). It seems like wire and foil would be an easy option. If any one had information on whether foil would destroy my teeth or a cheap alternative, I would really appreciate it.
