So, if you've seen all my other questions, you know I was a bit concerned about a previous root canal done in October. No throbbing, no senstivity really to cold or hot, but sensitivity to bite and when it's really cold, maybe a little discomfort, the gum is still a little swolen and sometimes it feels like the temporary crown is sticking out further than on other days. Anyhow, I am going on the 30th of January (sometime roun there). She's going to check me out. Is there a dentist or professional that can advise me of what to ask her to do? Thanks and Happy Holidays!

why does some people have bad breath even thought they brush daily? I work with someone whose breath smells like the bottom of a trash can or toilet bowl. it's disturbing and I've tried to drop hints, but i don't think they get it. It's grossing alot of people out on the job. i mean their breath literally lights up the room when they come in. it's disgusting, hot, and foul beyond comprehension. help!

What do they usually do before they put braces on? About four months ago I found out I'm getting braces in February. What's the process they go through before actually putting the braces on?

i still have milk teeth for both my canines. xray shows that there are no more permanent teeth that would replace it so im stuck with these "baby" canines. im conscious about them because they are small compared to my other teeth.

im planning to get braces to correct my diastema 2 yrs from now. im thinking if i could just extract them then have the spaces closed by braces. is this the best thing to do? can you pls give me advice? i really need help deciding..

also:
if i did extract it and have it closed, would it be obvious that i have no canines? im doing this primarily for aesthetic reasons..

This is really embarrassing, but my dentist says I need dentures at 22. Although I have good hygiene, I also have a progressive gum disease that ruins my teeth fast, and it runs in the women in my family. My teeth look alright on the outside, but they're getting hollow on the inside very quickly. My dentist said I could pay thousands for veneers, fillings, bondings, but I'll still have a lot of pain for the rest of my life. I already drink things lukewarm and can't really eat candy, and it's gotten really boring over the past several years. My fiance has no problem with it and reassures me it won't change his opinion of my looks, but I still feel very self-conscious about it. Anybody else been through this at a young age?

Hi there, a week ago I bought tray whitening system from my dentist and I have really sensitive gums. tonight, I brushed my teeth before putting on the tray and noticed that it was really painful. I must of ripped some parts of my gum on top of my tooth while brushing. so therefore, the whitening gel was causing the burning on the gum. I've always had weak gums... any suggestion as to what to do about this if it occurs in the future? Now, the burning sensation has calmed down and looks like the openings of the gum is now sealed with the whitening gel.. any threat to gum disease? thank you!

Cavities are like bacteria, bacteria poops like humans, their poop is acid, and this acid eats up your teeth.

did my mom tell me this to make me brush my teeth? or is it true?

Well, I'm a sophmore in college. Well, I'm attending a University actually. After I get my sixty one hours, I'll be transfering to LSU's (Louisiana State University) school of Dental Hygiene for the two year program. My question is: After I graduate from the two year program will I receive a degree or certificate? Associate in dental hygiene?

Will it be better doing a two year program or four in dental hygiene? What will be the advantages of the four year program?

How hard is it to enter dental hygiene school?

Is it better to get a bachelor's degree from a college or university before entering Dental Hygiene School?

I have seen 4 doctors in the past few days including 3 oral surgeons and one periodontist. Three told me because of the amount of bone loss (extraction) I need to replace it with a large bone (block). The one told me that synthetic (freez-dried) is good enough with good results given that the tooth is in the back. He also told me that he recommends that because it is less invasive but if in the middle of process he realizes that freez-dried) is not good, he would also try doing the other more complicated one. The thing is that I don't know the statistical success rate for either one. Also, I heard from more than one doctore other than the last one that the block graft may accidentally lead to permanent loss of sensation (irreversible nerve damge). I need to decide right away, which is the best method, or perhaps forget about the bone loss and just go for a bridge.

It was capped because of a minor tiny cavity that was barely starting to develop. It was still white. He has had like two trauma incidents to his mouth before (like 6 months+ back) but didn't see any signs of his teeth being loose. Then all of a sudden today it was loose. When I asked how it happened he blamed it on the candy because we tell him eating too much candy and not brushing will make him lose his teeth and then he said he hit the leg of the couch. I remember when he was playing on the couch but that was like an 1 1/2 before and he didnt complain. There was no blood but maybe in the gum lining of the tooth. I am scared he did damage or could it be that he is just an early bloomer. Please help if there is some kind of dental professional out there!
