Dental - January 2007

ok so, i just got my braces off about 2 weeks ago, my ortho told me to wear my retainer 24-7 for those 2 weeks then just at night after BUT last night i lost them..in the snow..and now im freaking out because i can't see him and get a replacement until monday which is 2 days from now, is there any chance that my teeth will shift alot to the point that there will be a big problem or will my original mold for my retainer still fit only it'll be alittle bit tight?

I have cavities developing on my back teeth. I didn't take care of my teeth as a child, and now I want to turn around and fix things. How can I prevent further damage (I brush three times a day)? Also, is it possible to get rid of cavities without getting fillings? Thanks :)

Can a rotting wisdom tooth cause any medical problems? I have had medical problems for the past 2 years and no doctor has ever been ever to diagnose me. Symptoms included a low roaring back pain, urinary symptoms, pains into legs, burning on hands and feet and a stiff neck. Then i remembered i havn't seen a dentist for a while. Then i noticed there is a wisdom tooth causing bad breath and it looks almost black. Is there any chance this could be the cause?

All right dudes..i just went to the dentist and the damn bastard found two cavities. The cavities are located in the far back the last teeths. My question is how long can i wait until i have to get them filled? I dont want to go to have to go through the pain rite now..im not ready.The cavity is not too big probly takes up 1/8 of my tooth. Ive had other cavities filled when i was a kid but that was like almost 5 years ago.Im so scared now..tell me it will be ok. Im most afraid of the shot they give you to numb the pain.. im so scared

SHOULD I SEE A DENTIST

If so, do you like your results? Would you recommend them to someone else? Do they look natural? About how much do they cost? Anything else I should know?

A few times I have yawned and my jaw clicked and my mouth basically got stuck open...I had to somewhat smack it with my hand to get it back into its proper place so my mouth would close...it didn't particularly hurt when it went back into its proper place but it was rather uncomfortable and it seemed like I heard bone rubbing together.

Also, usually when I chew I hear it popping...it's not like an outloud popping noise, I can just barely hear it and I don't really feel it either but I don't think the popping I hear is normal. Also, when I open my mouth wide and then close it it doesn't close smoothly straight down..it seems like my jaw sort of shifts to the left.

Do I just need to be careful with how I move my jaw or could it progress into a more serious problem?

I live in California and I'm thinking of going to Tijuana for some medical care. TijuanaMedical.com has some lists of doctors and dentists, but no further information about them. I might call some of them but thought I'd try this option first. Has anyone had a root canal done in Tijuana? Can anyone recommend a dentist there? Can anyone recommend other medical professionals in Tijuana?

I have heard that chewing gum before kissing actually makes your breath worse. I know you don't wanna have anything in your mouth whenever you kiss but does gum actually make it worse? Do you prefer one of the other?
