A co worker informed me that when she had her two children, two of her teeth feel out (just crumbled) since the calcium was sucked out of her bones. She said she went to Mexico to get them filled. Is this is a good idea and how much would it cost if I did go? I don't have dental insurance and I don't want my tooth pulled! thanks

I'm having all 4 removed, they are all going to require surgery since they are under the gums and are horizontal. Will I need any days off work? And how many should I take?

A friend of mine bleaches her teeth and always drinks from a straw because she believes it will prevent staining on her teeth from drinks like coffee, soda, tea, etc.

Do you think she is right? I think it may prevent stains if you don’t swish the drink around in your mouth, but its hard to prevent your teeth from touching whatever you are drinking.

I have just been to a dentist and they have told me that one of my fillings needs replacing because it is breaking up. From memory this filling is only 2-3 years old should this be happening? Could it be a fault of the dentist who originally put the filling in?

Why are braces so expensive??? I need braces cause I have two teeth that aren't strait. My dad says he wont pay for them cause they are so expensive. How much did braces cost you?? My dentist says they cost about $4200! Thats too much! I really really want strait teeth! But Why does it have to cost so much?! Is my dentist over pricing?? Help please!!
Do you think the dentist could give you some type of discount?? After all dentists are really rich! Do you think they'd be nice and cut the price in half or take away some amount?? Please Help!!

I am getting health insurance through my employer but it does not include dental. If I have to get oral surgery, (after being referred by my dentist) could it be covered under my regular medical insurance?(since it is surgery and would not be done by my dentist, but by an oral surgeon) I realize I can find this out from the Insurance company, but I don't have the cards yet and the oral surgery is not certain. I would just like to be prepared before this all comes about.

okay so I am 20 years old.. I have a little bit of freckles on my face.. wavy hair.. and ofcourse braces..! my teeth stick out and they were overcrowded and since my parents never had money i decided to fix my problem, but i seriously hate them., my self esteem went down alot when i got them.. i've only had them for four months but i feel so bad with them, because I am in college.. i have to have them until i am 22 years old.. my self esteem has gone down alot because i see beautiful people with no braces at all and they are perfect.. i feel i dont come anywhere near that right now =(

I've had braces for two years and am about to get them off in a few months. I'm worried, because my teeth used to be much whiter and look nicer. Now, some parts of each tooth is white while other parts are yellowy. I was wondering what procedures or items that i can buy at the store really work for whitening. I'm only 13, so I dont want anything really heavy-duty, just something that will help me get rid of some of the stains that make me self-conscious.

Any tips and tricks? Thanks in advance!

A close relative of mine has severe problems with her teeth. They are beginning to rot out of her mouth. Every two or three weeks, it's a root-canal or a tooth has to be pulled and a crown set in. Now her front teeth are breaking up all to pieces? What in blazes is going on here? Yes, she sees a dentist when she can afford it, and she flosses once a day and brushes 2 x's a day. I wish I could help her but I can't....help me help her please. Pretty soon she will probablly have to have false teeth in the front...!!

I'm guessing my boyfriend has hypersensitive tastebuds. He's the pickiest eater I have ever encountered. He brushes his teeth like he should, but hates it because he says the toothpaste taste sticks with him for hours after he's done brushing. He hates the taste. I buy Crest, but do you have any non-minty or non-powerful tasting recommendations? Are the toothpastes for children any better tasting?

I lost my three front tooth. I have used dentures ever since and I dont like it. Its been three years since and I really need to get out of my dentures coz it making me depressed. It looks so unnatural and its very discomforting. I havent smile or laugh much ever since and have been avoiding conversations. It's pathetic isnt it? hehe.
I have already asked a dentist about it, and she told me that she will have to put bridges and then crowns on me. I didnt quiet get it, and didnt bother to ask much too(we talked over the phone). She also has given me a price quote and it's pretty expensive so I didnt bother appearing till I have the money.
Anyways, what do I really need to get my teeth fixed? Is crowns/veneers/bridge an option for me?
Thanks

I pulled out my wisdom teeth about 2 days ago. I've used an ice pack the first day. The next day, my mouth began to swell up. I used warm water instead of ice pack for awhile and later a dry heat pack for the rest of the day. What should I be using and what will reduce the swelling as fast as possible?
