Has anyone tried it? I'm using it to try and quit again but i don't find it helps much. I used it the first time and when i stopped smoking i became addicted to the gum, has this happened to anyone? I want to quit smoking but at the moment i just can't seem to, if i can't quit i'd like to cut down, but both seem so far off a the moment, its like i live with a cigarette in my hand now, especially now its christmas with all the stress and everything! Any advice?
thanks x

My son can't stand the taste of mint - are there alternative neutral or non tasting toothpastes out there that you can recommend

I went to the oral surgeon last week for a post-op appointment and everything was progressing normally, no dry socket, no infection (took antibiotics as a preventive measure), just a little food irritation. The doc gave me a syringe to rinse trapped food out of the holes in my gums with salt water, but that really hurts when I do it, particularly on the lower left side, and then my left ear starts aching worse after I rinse. I've tried heat on my ear, but that also makes the earache worse. Is this normal? Why am I getting this terrible earache?

My Daughter was recently in the hospital because her gums got so Inflamed that you could not see her teeth, I brush her teeth 3 times a day and give her daily vitamins. She couldnt eat or drink anything for 4 days and the doctors couldnt ever tell me what was wrong or how to fix it

I have been going on job interviews, but my Doc wants this tooth out so I may use my benefits before the end of the year.

one of my wisdom teeth are coming in and im having tons of pain and after a week i broke down and went to the dentist, he said i needed to get 3 wisdom teeth removed(i dont have a 4rth one) and im having pain on the one thats coming through now because of the top one biting down on the gums. he can pull the top one out now without putting me to sleep just to stop the pain but i will still need to go to oral surgeon to get the others removed. i cant get into the oral surgeon for 3 more weeks and thats only a consultation. it hurts bad and im freaked out about having teeth pulled. should i tough it out or go ahead and get the one removed?

ive always looked after my teeth, but ive noticed a slight discolouration lately so i wonder if i'm doing something wrong ie:- 'overdoing it' brushing them? (i drink lots of tea so maybe thats another reason) :/

i'll tell you my daily routine and tell me if you think i'm doing it okay?

i'll get up in the morning brush my teeth, (pea sized amount of tooth paste) brush each tooth, then swill my mouth out and do the same again (pea sized amount) and then again (pea sized amount) i'll go over them 3 times spending about 5 mins on it, i use mouthwash also.

i'll then do the same thing at night.

totalling to twice a day, but using a bit more tooth paste.

i do this because i often find just using a normal amount of toothpaste (bushing them once) doens't really clean my teeth all that well, they start to feel groggy after a few hours.

but yeah do you think my brushing is ok? if so maybe just book a scrape and polish at the dentist, as ive not had one for a few years.

So I went to the dentist and he said my 4 wisdom teeth are candidates for extraction. He showed me the x ray and one is coming in facing the wrong direction, so I know that one has to come out, but the other three are barely visible. I don't like pain, so I was just wondering if it was neccessary to extract the teeth? Maybe they can just cut the gums off the top of the teeth? Also, should I take the whole day off of work and will they give me
anesthesia and/or painkillers?

I am getting a root canal this week. After it ends, I'm going to a holiday party a couple hours later. Will I be terribly drugged, or should it be ok?

I'm getting all 4 of them removed tomorrow, and due to all the work I have, I really want to come back the day after and work the rest of the week. Some people say I can do it, others day I'll be in too much pain and should take off a few days. What are your suggestions?
