I have had 2 temporary crowns so far and the dentist told me initially that I may need a root canal, it was hard to tell if the decay had actually gotten to the root or not. I said I could NOT afford a root canal and a crown, but she said she could not fill the tooth and had to put a crown on. So I did not get the root canal. Well after the 1st temp crown was on I was fine and then the permanent was in (3 months later) and they removed the temp and before she put it on she decided it was not done correctly and not the right shape so she would not put it on - they sent it back out. She put another temp crown on and off I went. Well since then I have been in pain - with the pain worsening daily - right now NOTHING will relieve the pain (I had to leave work early and call in sick today and probably lost my job of 7 years because of this tooth)!

So I have an appointment (after she has refused to give me an appoint 3 times - telling me that I need to go see someone for the root canal)

Whenever I drink coffee, I get this film on my tongue that gets pretty nasty. I have to drink my coffee at home then brush my teeth again before I leave the house and can't have any after that. Is there anything I can do to prevent this so I can enjoy a cup outside of my home?

I had a dreadful bridge put in and only months later the black top of the teeth on the bridge are showing, how can I cover it up?
The dentist who did it is now out of business - no surprise & I can't afford to do it all again.

I remember at primary school, a dentist visited our school to gove a talk on dental hygeine. Some packets of tablets (mainly red, but there might have been sme blue ones too) were given to us. They were small and looked like vitamin tablets. What you did was brush your teeth ,put one into your mouth and chew on it. Darker patches of dye highlighted where there was still plaque, so that you knew areas you needed to concentrate on.

I have a dental appointment next Monday, and although I have no symptoms of tooth problems as yet, I am ashamed to say I have not been looking after my teeth as well as I might. I would like to use one again to see how well I've really been brushing. Is there anywhere I can get these things from, if they are still available?

I just got finishing bands for my braces today. I had muscle cramps in my jaw and a pressure headache all afternoon. I took them out to eat supper, and they've been back in for a bit now, but my teeth hurt like hell. I've taken pain meds, but they don't seem to be helping, and I seriously CANNOT stand the pain of my teeth getting shoved tightly together. I know the best way to get over it is to keep them on, but what if it's driving you crazy and giving you headaches? Any suggestions or advice on how to deal with the pain and still get the job done?

I have a broken molar, farthest back on left side. I fainted ar work Weds last week, and again Thanksgiving day, ,and again this afternoon. While flossing Weds night experienced blinding pain at the sight of that tooth. I have just been feeling fatigued along with the symptoms mentioned in my question. At what point would a dentist consider this an emergency and remove the tooth.
My boss won't let me come back to work until I have a resolution I am trying to determine if I should go to my dentist or another doctor. I have no insurance and limited resources and need a quick resolution. I am trying to minimize expense by not seeing multiple practioners.

Please only respond if you have first hand experience or medical background.

It seems like there is enough room for them to come in. Won't it be less painful if i wait for them to come out a bit?
