I haven't been to a dentist in like 5 years(last time was when I was 9), but I always thought I took pretty good care of my teeth. I knew I had a few cavities but I didn't think they were bad. Anyway where my teeth broke they're black inside. What up with that? It didn't bleed hardly at all, and I can see the other part inside the gum. Is there any quick cheap way to fix my teeth? Like some kind of glue maybe? I'm scared of dentists and my mom is gonna have a fit when she sees me. What can I do?

Wouldn't it be great if we got a third set of teeth? If we lost our teeth again when we're 20-30 and got new teeth again? It's not impossible, it has happened to adults, but very very few. My dentist said that it's because people used to die in their 40's and 50's. But now that people live well into their 80's, shouldn't our bodies evolve and give us another set of teeth? I didn't really realize when I was younger that these are the teeth I'm going to have for the rest of my life. It wouldn't be that weird to be missing a tooth in your 20's if it happened to everyone.

Just asking in case I ever do get bad breath. Don't you think it's good to be prepared for the rare but possible?

I have a 7 year old ( just turned 7 ) that has not lost a tooth yet. He doesn't even have any loose. Is this a concern?

I had my wisdom teeth extraction on the 15th, now it's the 20th and I am still in pain. Not a lot, but about moderate, constant pain. I am still taking my pain pills though, but don't ABSOLUTELY need them, I could PROBABLY get by with just taking Advil. My entire mouth is dried out, no matter how much water I drink. My gums stopped bleeding the middle of day 3. What do you do if you have dry socket? Does it go away on it's own or do you have to see the dentist?

Also, I have this funky taste in my mouth. Almost bitter, metalic tasting.

Hi before I get too many jokes my teeth are very healthy (so says my dentist) and look pretty nice! I just wanted to hear from people who had it done.
Would you class it as a surgery? I hate being superficial and I would never have any cosmetic surgery but isnt this just like having your teeth cleaned?
Is it worth the money etc?

I think it happened because I didn't brush my teeth one night and I woke up with it. I've brushed and used listerine and bunch though and it hasn't helped.

Any dentists or orthodontists in the crowd? Thanks so so much.

Saw the dentist the other day and he said x-rays showed no infection and the pain in a specific area was 'radiating' to that one tooth from all the cavities i have in other teeth. Don't have insurance and can't afford to fix all the cavities but was told that infections sometimes do not show up on x-rays. What are the chances that this is an infection and what can i do about it since it doesn't show up as such on x-rays?

Only had mine for 2 years now and so far so good. I'm just curious how long they will last if I don't break a tooth or god forbid they get cracked or something.

The dentist says it's pain radiating from the dozen other teeth in my mouth with cavities but it happens to be the only tooth in my mouth with an amalgum filling. So is it radiating pain or the mercury in the amalgum?

I had my wisdom teeth removed about two weeks ago and they healed pretty well. I was swollen for the first 4- 5 days. Now two weeks later, my left side is swelling up again. Could it be an infection?
