Dental - December 2006

Whenever I go to the dentist, I have cavities. I went once and had 8 of them. I regularly brush my teeth twice a day. My dentist said it could be a condition called soft teeth, because I'm also lactose intolerant and didn't get much calicium when I was a kid, that contributes to having weak teeth. Is there anything I can do to maybe help fortify my teeth?

I have had a very bad tooth ache that was on the bottom but now seems to be on the top. it hurts more then anything i have ever experienced. I have broken my arm, and my back but this does not come close. I have tried taking 400mg IBU Profen, they last about 2 hours.. same for the Tylenol 500mg. Vicodin is great too but the pain is still there. I do not have insurance or any money. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as it has already been over 2 weeks and i cant take it anymore.

I'm wondering if someone would be cmpassionate enough on ebay to buy my yahoo cap I'm getting for someone's dental care especially if it was verified by a legitimate charity organization to be spent 100% for dental care, follow-up and dentures? I'm thinking it will cost approximately $2,500 but not sure yet.

I know someone who does not get free state dental care and doesn't make income enough for insurance. Her teeth are rotten into the gums and it isn't from drug use so please don't assume. Am trying to think of a plan to get together with others to pay the dentist but not let her know. She is in constant pain and has abcesses. Location is MIssouri.

In the back of my mouth where my wisdom teeth would be i have a hard lump that hurts bad only when i swallow? I had x-rays like 6 months ago at the dentist, before this problem and they tell me i have no wisdom teeth at all. Not even under the gums. So im wondering what this could be? Theres no weird color to my gum. its just a hard lump right where id have a tooth. I have got this quite often like 5 times this year. I did mention it to my doctor awhile back when it wasnt there though. and she said could be a swallon gland? I just dont know if we really have glands in our gums/ sounds weird? Im 24 yrs old, clean my mouth and teeth 3 times a day. What is this and is causeing it? Thanks in Advance

My front teeth have been chipping slightly. Just little bits on the corners or along the edges. I've never had any cavities, or other issues. Why are they chipping? I used to be an avid milk drinker but am now lactose intolerant, could it be I'm not getting enough calcium?

I tried the regular blue Pro Health Rinse a while ago but it made by teeth blue and left little blue chunks in my mouth.

They now have this new whitening rinse that's dye free.

Has anyone tried this?

Thanks.

I need all the information one can give me. I have to decide in like week or two now if I want to be in the dental hygienist field. I have been doing lots of research and I went to the school today. I'm going to set up an appointment with a dental hygienist on Monday too. The only thing holding me back is the insane cost of the schooling and the loan I will have after.(Right now I hardly have a loan which is great.) What is also holding me back is how do I know that I'll truly love this proffesion..and the duties involved..I mean its not like everyday I'm working on someone’s teeth, to know. I've been looking into my husbands mouth trying to think can I work looking inside people mouths (lol) I have also been going online reading about the procedure and they do make me curious and want to learn more. The bloody pictures of scaling/ root planning aren't to bad, I mean their bloody. How can one prepare to see blood like that on a daily basis in that career.. how bad is the blood in total

I have no health insurance at all and it would be of a cosmetic need. My teeth are a lil crooked and I just never got around to it and I think I want to get them sometime. Oh and what does it feel like too? Would those invisi ones work for crooked teeth or gaps or what?

Do I need to see a dentist right away? I've never had this happen before. Some articles I've looked at seem to suggest that one should immediately contact a dentist, and others don't seem to think so.

I had a toothache last week and say a dentist on 12/1. She started the root canal and said to come back in a week to finish (today). After the first appointment, she prescribed me anitbiotcs and pain reliever. She numbed me up today, and as she began to work, I kept feeling sharp pain. She would stop and numb me up more. After about an hour and 8 injections, I was fed up. I told her to stop and told her I could not finish because of the pain. I've had 5 other root canals in the past and they were almost painless. Has anyone even had this kind of pain during a root canal? What should I do now? I need to have the root canal finished, but now I am totally scared of the pain.
