Dental - December 2006

Does everybody go through that process or some?
What about our teeth afterwards? I thought teeth stops growing back in after you get all your teeth when you are about 8-12?
How do you know you need to get them pulled out or not?

I am getting braces put on the 13th and needed to know what colors I should get and what looks cute. I am going to a dance and my dress is red but I hate the color red. I do like black, I think it makes your teeth look whiter.

can adults do this too? The dctr said it would work like codiene without the side effects for my son. How about adults? I have a toothache and can't get in to see dentist till Monday.

My husband went to the dentist today to have a root canal. After she got in there she said it was just a very very bad cavity so she filled it and capped it. He was in there approx 2 hours. After he got out he said he was very very cold. His appointment was at 1pm, its now 6pm and he has 103 degree fever and chills and is very very achy. I called the dentist and the secretary said its just a coinsidence and he has the flu, but ive heard of people getting sick and dying after dental work. Immediately after? or does it take awhile? I dont know if i should take him to the emergency room or not. Please help.

My teeth are straight but I have an overbite. I am getting braces soon but I am so scared I will look ugly. I mean I see some people with braces and they look fine, than there's others who look horrible. I am pretty but I just am scared I wont get the attention from guys with braces. Though I have no choice because I am getting them.

I am already certain that I have TMD(TMJ). My bite isn't perfect, i have (had) a missing tooth (permanent tooth didn't ever develop, there is now a bridge there), my jaw obviously pops and can get stuck if open too wide, and i get jaw and neck pain. I also have had a mild habit of grinding my teeth from time to time since i was young. I've read about TMD but there is nothing about making it pop on purpose or feeling like you need to keep popping it. I also noticed that when i do this, i also grind and clench my teeth. I think it very well could be a mental issue, possibly a habit i formed as a child, but I would like to know if anything may cause it or if anyone else has this problem. Any ideas or answer would be very useful and much appreciated. Thank you!

The dentist tells me I need to do a root canal on my 1st molar. The bicuspid next to it has a root canal. I'm considering doing implants on them both, but I don't know if the root canaled tooth is a candidate for implantation. Also, I'm wondering if I get the tooth extracted now, can I make the implant/root canal decision later?

I realize that this is a site for people to get advice from many different sources, but I don't understand why some people with only vague dental knowledge or no dental knowledge, are on here giving dental advice. That would be like me getting on the section about vehicles and telling people what is wrong with their cars. I wouldn't have a clue and would be giving bad advice. I have seen some dental advice on here that is so off the mark, that it is almost funny. I don't know if some people are making up what they are telling people or they are repeating something they heard somewhere. There are alot of people getting on here and asking questions, really looking for good, solid dental advice and they don't know what to believe when they are getting so many different opinions. I have seen people give totally wrong advice to someone, and yet they get voted Best Answer, when someone else actually gave them a more accurate answer. Why are people giving such bad dental advice?
