I went through a deep cleaning and received Arestin in 5 areas (pockets). With insurance covered, I still had to pay $280 out of pocket. That hurts more than my teeth.

Lesson learned....do not put off dentist appointments.

I bought one of those mirrors that dentists use when examining your teeth and I noticed that I have a tiny little cavity on one of my 2nd incisors (top). It is at the back of my tooth close the the gumline. I go to the dentist regularly and what i want to know is why hasn't my dentist ever mentioned that i have this cavity and therefore treat it! Surely I should have it filled before it gets any worse. Or do you think he has not mentioned anything because he presently thinks it is not a problem to worry about yet since it is only a small one?

I need to change dentists. My previous dental office says there is a charge of $25. to copy the x-rays, and that they are required by law to keep the originals with my records. Is this correct?

My boyfriend recently had a root canal on a badly decayed tooth. Everything was fine until he developed a tooth abscess this morning. He says he's not really in pain, but he won't be able to get to the dentist for a couple of days, which worries me. I know that the dentist will drain the abscess for him, but he wants to do this himself. Is it a good idea?

My dentist told me (4 years ago) that I would need my wisdom teeth pulled. I have yet to do so and now two of them have grown in crooked and have messed up my bite and teeth. So, why do we have wisdom teeth if we don't need them? Aren't our mouths designed to hold the amount of teeth we are supposed to have?
I have always wondered this....

Is the sonic technology better for your gums? Does it really matter? Or do the high end electric toothbrushes pretty much deliver the same? I have bad receding gums, probably from adding too much pressure, so I need a good good toothbrush if I want to keep my teeth for a long time.
