So recently I found a lump, in my neck under my right jaw. I had 2 root canals back in those teeth, and it kind of feels like the lump and pain may be coming from that. But that was over 3 years ago. I do know that every time I get an allergy attack(which get really bad) those back teeth start to hurt bad. Pressure maybe from all the sneezing?

So its only been a week that I noticed this small lump, it hurts and seems to be getting larger, my lymph node is enlarged also. My husbands kind of scared, but we cant get me on his insurance until MAy when open sign up starts. So im at an impass. Any ideas? No I cant get Medi-Cal because my husband makes too much money. Go figure. Also his insurance wont cover pre-existing conditions!

I read some reviews and many people find their tounges to turn black and have stringy stuff coming out of there mouth. How can you prevent all that? So far, I have used it last night and this morning. If you use it exactly how they say you should...do you think i'll be ok? Also, how does it compare to the Crest Whitening Mouthwash?

Or is the safest way just using Crest whitestrips? or whitening toothpaste?

Is it worth it to get your teeth professionally whitened? How much does it cost and how long does it last? Are there any other self whitening systems that work wonders?

he kept falling on his face(litterally) when he was learning how to walk i'm sure that had a big part in this. is this a partial root canal? is there a full one that can be done or is that only in adults? how long will the procedure take? he was to uncooperative at the dental office so no x-rays were done will some be taken while he's out? is there a chance that this wont work? what else can be done? we've tried to get him to brush every night and he's getting the hang of it, but i think its too late.what if they do pull them...will they put a spacer(s) there? all of this is in the front of the mouth. i think the front 4 i'm not sure. he doesnt even know he's having this done.should i try to tell him? how do i? i'm more scared and nervous then ever!! i'm afraid he's going to be in so much paina nd uncomfortable.
I REALLY NEED ADVICE AND HELP PLEASE

My friend has been saving his $$$ for while now and is pretty excited about getting all of his teeth pulled in a favor of some permanent dentures. He's been plagued by bad teeth for years and fears opening his mouth in public, so its understandable that he's looking forward to it. I'm just wondering if anyone could share any info about the prodecure, pros, cons etc...that I could tell him about so he feels prepared.

thanks

I have a cavity (cary) on the 1st molar, next to the 2nd molar. It is on the bottom right side of my mouth.

It began to hurt alot and I went to the emergency dentist and they cleaned it out. I siad "Do I have an absess?" and they said "No".

They just looked at it with the mirror and siad that there was a bit of food stuck in the cavity. There was no X-ray or any other investigation for absess evidence. But they said that there was no swelling at all.

After the temporary filling was done, it was hurting for about 4 hours. The pain gradually decreased to almost nothing.

2 days later, on the jaw bone directly below, if I press it on my face, it is very tender. I can also feel a deep dull ache.
If I put my finger in my mouth and apply any pressure, I cannot feel any painful areas.

If move my mouth muscles around or press hard on my chin/jaw on my face, it hurts a little.
It appears to be getting pregressivily worse.

What is this?

Whenever i see people wearing braces, the brackets are usually placed on the middle of the tooth, but i just got mine recently and the brackets are positioned very low on my top front teeth. Is that normal? I dont have the archwires put in yet (extraction purposes), does that have anything to do with it? it looks so bad! =)
Anyone wearing braces feel free to comment...

My mother said that you dont have to have dental insurance to get wisdom teeth cut out, regular health insurance should cover. How can i find out for sure? Call my ins. company?
