I have been starting to use the whitening shrips. do you think he will be able to tell? My dentist is pretty much a family friend and also my sister works for him so i dont want them to find out. What do you think?

I had just visited the orthodontist. I have perfect teeth other than the fact I have a gap in the front two teeth. Not small but quite noticable. He requested braces for 4 months which will be cheaper and take less time as well as keep the gap closed for sure. I asked about invisalign and he said it would cost a little more and take a little more time, around a year to close the gap. He also said a retainer would have to be worn for a pretty long time at night so gap stays closed. I would liek some opinions as to what you guys think and if you have had gaps and what worked best with you. Also does invisalign work better than braces for my gap problem? Let me know, thanks.

I ate some jello and then took the other two pills.. i got a really upset stomache and threw up the jello...

Is there something I can do with my lip instead of re- contructing my whole jaw. I went to the doctor and they told me they would have to break my whole jaw and place it back, and I will take up to a year to recover! Maybe theres a lip enhancer or something like that to pull my lip down cuz thats crazy! If you find any info on this please let me know!

About a week ago, I noticed that one of my back molars on the bottom was feeling a very sharp pain when I would eat or accidently grind my teeth together. Eventually there was a dull pain in about half of my bottom teeth - would that have just been radiating pain?

I was going to call the dentist on Monday, but by then all the pain was gone and I was eating without pain and everything. But then, yesterday (Wed), the sharp pain is back in my molar and about half of my bottom teeth hurt again too. I don't understand why it would come back.

When I first got it, I had been studying a lot and then it went away but now that I'm back to studying a lot, the pain is back. That's the only connection. I know it's not from grinding my teeth in my sleep, because I really haven't slept much the past 2 days.

I'm 19 and I've never even had a cavity so I'm confused. I also don't have a dentist here(college), so do you think it would be OK to wait 2 weeks til I go home to get in checked?

The always use the needle instead of the mask. I hate knowing what is going on when they are doing my teeth and the gas mask always put me under or close enough to it that I didn't care what was going on.

I want to use one of those home products to help whiten my teeth. I have heard that some products weaken your enamel, and although do whiten, also make your teeth sensitive. Anyone know any products that don't do that but still work?

Or any nasty ingredients to look out for?

And has anybody tried the Pearl Drops range?

I asked this question before and the answers I got were not helpful at all. If I really can't afford to get regular dental care, then I definitely can't afford to go to Mexico. There are no dental schools in my area so, that is out. Unfortunately, my insurance has no dental plan and I need some work done. I'm starting to feel pain in my back tooth.

Can anyone give me a helpful answer and tell me where I can get good, affordable dental care? Keep in mind I am on a very low income and, most insurance companies won't accept me.
