Dental - January 2007

Do I have a cavity? cause when I eat something real sweet my back tooth stings a little, but its only when I eat something reallt sweet. And I told my mom and she says I probably have a cavity, and she also said that since it hurts it is probably deep and I need a shot to numb it! I am terrified of needles, so please tell me she is wrong! (but dont lie..lol)

I haven't been to the dentist in several(15) years, because I had a large family of 8 siblings and my parents simply couldn't afford it.
Now that I'm done University and have a good job with dental coverage, I want to go to the dentist.
However, I am absolutely TERRIFIED!!
Please do not judge me, I only want some serious advice, especially from people who were in my situation.
Thank you.

my two front teeth got chipped to they were replaced with porcelain. My front two stay all white but the rest are slowly fading. Will the whitestrips damage the fake teeth? thanks

She's knows of the dentist from one of her Dora the Explorer books which is great but I don't know what the dentist will actually do to a child her age. Anyone been through this yet?

The post op pain from not having a root canal fully finished, or the post op pain from finishing a root canal that wasen't previously finished a week ago?

My specialist told me he couldent do any more work on my tooth today and would finish next tuesday (too much blood,swelling, and coulden't get to the very tip of my canal).
I have full faith and trust he knows what he's doing and all just curious if my tooth hurts more now because of it not being finished than it will if it was finished.

Ever happen to anyone here? Is there a dentist in the house?

Is it where they look over your x-rays and stuff and tell you when you're getting them out, because I already know I need them out.

Common sense tells me before so that is what I do...any dentist or dentistry students out there for this one? How many times a day should we floss? What do you think about Crest Pro Health?

I'm new in town and don't know about this dentist. I'm only 24 and would really like to save the tooth. Why would he tell me the tooth isn't worth saving? Can't we even try a root canal? The tooth just began bothering me. It's not sensitive to hot, cold, or pressure. The tooth isn't loose. Surely, worse teeth have been root canaled? Please help. I'm stressing out.

I had tooth pain and based on x-rays and my symptoms, a dentist recommended a root canal. There is not much bone loss and the pain has disappeared with an antibiotic. Why not just forgo the root canal and have a cap put on the tooth? I have a meeting with a dentist tomorrow.
Thanks for your input.

I have heard that baking soad will remove some of the basic stains on teeth, and brighten them. I have started, but have only been doing it for a few days, so I don't expect any results for a few weeks. My question, is are there any serious side-effects I should be concerned about putting baking soda in my mouth. I'm not swallowing it, but I'm sure some goes down my throat, and I don't want to cause any un-needed health problems just b/c I want pearly whites! Any info. would be great! Thank you!
