she takes the false teeth out and puts them directly in a glass of water. in the morning she takes them right out of the glass and puts them in her mouth. I imagine sitting in room temperature water for up to 12 hours is breeding a ton of bacteria. She never sterilizes them. She is very depressed and just doesn't care about safety precautions of any kind. I would like to find an article somewhere about how harmful this could be to her, because she won't listen to me. Maybe if I print it out and give it to her she will read it and take it more seriously.

I heard it's because they don't treat their water w/ Flouride like we (americans) do. Is this true?

Ok, the thing is I have 2teeth that need a root canal or need to be removed, and I can't handle the pain I'm in right now. I've been taking antibiotics for a couple of days, and declined the Vicodin because I didn't think it would hurt so bad, but, it does! and I'm out of Tylonal Extra strength, I've taken 24 of them in the last 3days... It's becoming unbearable... can anyone help me? Can't talk to the dentist cuz it's Sunday. HELP!

I had braces when I was a kid and had my wisdom teeth out as a teenager. I never had a retainer but the dentist gave me a bite appliance instead ( soft plastic, kind of like a mouth guard) the use for an hour a day in the year or so right after they came off and occasionally afterwards too. They looked great afterwards but now it seems like my front teeth stick out more than they did then, and the two teeth next to them on the right side are turning in just slightly. Would a retainer fix this? If anyone has experienced this or knows about dentistry I'd appreciate your insight, thanks.

What does it mean if you're told you have floppy gums? Is this a bad thing?
Last time I was at my dentist, an assistant told me my mouth was fine, but I had floppy gums, but she thinks it's just because my mouth came out of braces just a month ago after having them on for three years. That said, am I in danger of anything?

What does floppy gums mean? I'm seeing the dentist tomorrow for some cavities anyway, and he didnt see anything wrong with my mouth other than the cavities.

Is it only for very mild teeth, or would it work on crooked ones too..not horrible, just bad? And more importantly, I know they *say* it's invisible, but can you see it when it's worn? I heard it looks like your teeth are very filmy- does it look bad? Also, I know the prices start at around $3500...is that more expensive than traditional braces? I know it's a case by case basis, but generally speaking, is invisalign more expensive and would you recommend it?

I had wisdoom tooth surgey four days ago and it was extremely painful. The pain is still excrutiating. All four were removed using twilight sedation. I am on ibuprofen and oxycodone now and it barely helps to dull the pain. I noticed that there are what feel like lumps on the inside of my cheeks, but it actually appears that the surgeon sewed the inside of my cheeks over the bottom openings where the wisdom teeth were. Is this normal? It feels awful and I don't want my cheeks permanently puffed to the inside of my jaw because of the stitching like it is now.

My wisdom teeth haven't bothered me at all. I recently went to the dentist and they were saying that because of the positioning of my wisdom teeth, that they may bother me later. They were advising that I remove them before getting invisalign for my top set of teeth. I feel like this is not necessary since the wisdom teeth aren't bothering me and my imperfection on my top set of teeth is minor. Someone help me before I go through this expensive and dreadful procedure!!! Any Dentists out there???
