Teeth are functioning okay, but cleaning can be a little challenging, plus cosmetic-wise, the overcrowding makes the teeth look messy. Should a 28 year old still consider braces. Any effects on work, personal and social lives that should be considered?

I have this constant pain all over the left side of my face (molar tooth, ear and head), I'm not sure what's the cause of it. Is it possible it's caused by a molar tooth or is it more likely to be something like an ear infection?

So I lost my dental insurance 7 years ago when I was 19. And I am finally getting some again. So I haven't been to a dentist in all those years. I've only had 3 cavities before that (2 of those in my wisdom teeth) My teeth haven't hurt or anything in that time and I still take care of my teeth. I'm a bit nervous. Would I know if I've had a cavity for all these years? Anyone else go through anything similar?

I want to know if there is a tooth on the back that is missing and you have a maryland bridge with the wings that attaches to the healthy teeth in between so that it can cover that empty space which is a fake tooth but without crowns, can teeth shift or not???

In this country i have to drink water from a cup and spit in the kitchen. I spit the saliva because the dentist needs to see clearly inside my mouth.

Okay... Well, I got my wisdom teeth removed 5 days ago, and my left side seems to be doing fine. I was having trouble with bleeding on both sides, but eventually my left side seemed to heal up. The bottom of my right side, though, is still bleeding. A friend of mine is a dentist and she took a look at it 2 days ago and said and it looked /okay/. But two days later, it is still bleeding! Well, seeping is what my mom calls it. I have tried Warm Salt water, I was told not to use gauze anymore, and teabags haven't helped. It stops for a few hours sometimes, but then proceeds to bleed again. Anyone know what I could do? Today is Christmas, and my mom keeps telling me that I shouldn't worry about it... Easy for her to say! Is this in /any way/ normal? I am not on blood thinners or anything.. It should be healed by now. ):

It looks kind of like a blister on my gum above my teeth. I had it a few weeks ago but it went away, now it's back.

I had my wisdom teeth out almost a week ago and it went fine - I experienced no pain the day of the surgery and most of the day after, but then the pain hit me hard and hasn't stopped since. It is incredibly debilitating and I can't concentrate on anything else when it's at its worst (which is after I've eaten something - even soft things that require almost no chewing). My prescriptions for Vicodin and ibuprofen are up and besides, I'm sick of taking that stuff. Anyone have ideas about natural remedies? You'd be saving my life!

I'm getting my braces off tommorrow but I didn't brush as well as before and my teeth were much yellower before i got braces(before i brushed my teeth for like 10 seconds then i'm done, now i brush my teeth for like 5 minutes). Now I'm scared when they come off I would have yellow squares on my teeth...Did anyone have braces or heard off when they took them off they have ugly/yellow teeth where they had their braces?
Anyone had it?
