Dental - February 2007

I recently got a tooth ache on one of my upper crowned molars. It is sensitive to hot and cold (for the last week)
It seems to be less and less painful as days go by.
This happened to another tooth of mine which was crowned so I wanted to know if I should just wait it out like before.
People with true info respond only !

Thank you !!
Love you !!

I've already asked this question but got little feedback, so I'm trying again. When I wake up in the morning my mouth is filled with saliva - my whole mouth. I can't swallow it because its disgusting and for some reason i don't swallow it in smaller amounts during the night like normal people. My sis has the same problem, why is this? And is there a way of fixing it?

If it is safe for health to pierce tongue??Do you know any complications of a pierced tongue??I was told that as there are a lot of nerves in our tongue while piercing you can damage some and it will reflect badly on your health.... But it seemed to me that a tongue is just a big muscle.... So I confused and concerned about that.... Does anybody here have a pierced tongue???tell your experience, plz!!! Really appreciate your advice...

Please only respond with answers to the questions I ask. I've thought this through.
I have a receding chin. I want to get mentoplasty, and I'm looking for docotors in the RI area. I don't even know where to begin. Do some doctors have a payment plan, or do you need the money all up front?

I have really healthy teeth but I may brush them too much, that's why I think the spots are from fluoride. Could something as simple as brushing less often help? They are just really tiny spots on the very bottom of my teeth.

I put on a crest white strip on my upper teeth last night and fell asleep on accident. I woke up an hour later and took it off. You are only supposed to leave them on your teeth for 30 minutes. My teeth are very sensitive today and have been hurting most of the day. Even when I breathe in air through my mouth, my teeth will hurt...
Will this sensitivity go away? I have learned my lesson on the white strips so please, no criticism...

I had my wisdom teeth taken out six days ago. If I take pain medication throughout the day, I'm ok. But the pain wakes me up during the night and it is HORRIBLE. My entire lower jaw seems to ache and I have a horrible taste in my mouth. I am so SICK of this hurting so much! I'm out of hydrocodone and have to resort to just Tylenol for pain relief. I have been taking antiobiotics religiously and rinsing my mouth with Glycothymoline. What can I do to keep this from causing me so much pain? Why hasn't the pain stopped yet?

Each morning when I wake up my mouth feels incredibly dry and dehydrated. It tastes pretty rank and my breath probably stinks too (I don't know because I'm single, perhaps this is why!)
Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

people think they have bad hygeine? Me my teeth are yellowish-white and i take really good care of my teeth brush twice a day and floss, and my dentist says i have excellent teeth. on the other hand i have a friend who hardly ever brushes her teeth drinks coke smokes and here teeth are way whiter than me. I really think it has to do with genetics...anyone agree?

My teeth are straight, but I need to get braces because the top doesn't meet with the bottom. I just noticed one of my teeth is growing in crooked, is there anything I can do until I get braces? Or what do I need to know about braces?

Ok, so I had this thing where when my baby tooth --that was next to my left front tooth-- fell out, I was missing my adult tooth that should've grown in. Well, I never got braces so all my teeth started shifting of course b/c there was nothing to fill in that space. So now my "fang" tooth (is that what you call it?) is next to my left front tooth instead of the smaller tooth that should be next to it like it is on the right side of my front teeth. Anyway, I have this HUGE gap between my front to teeth, and very small gaps btwn my other teeth b.c of the shifting. Well, what should I do besides braces. I just want to know some other option b.c its not like I have all my teeth and I just have a gap, its like I am missing a tooth so all my teeth shifted so now theres a gap. Im 19 btw.

I just had a bunch of dental work done without it because it simply doesn't work for me . . . everyone I know thinks I'm weird. Is there anyone out there who has a similar peculiarity?

When I had my wisdom teeth removed, they gave me a new toothbrush. I wasn't 100% awake when they gave it to me, so I don't remember what they said about it. Is there a reason why I'd need a new one after the oral surgery? Or were they just being nice or whatever? Just curious..

I've had TMJ since i was 12 (i'm 18 now) I've never had treatment for it and it's in both sides of my jaw. my jaw cracks extreamly loud on both sides every time I open it or move it side to side. Recently I've been getting really bad headaches and feeling dizzy and nashious. is that normal tmj symptoms or does it sound like something else?

About 1 month ago I financed a set of braces for myself because my dentist told me that I needed to correct my overbite and several bottom crooked teeth.I asked him about invisilign and he said that it was not an option for me because of the alignment of the top and bottom teeth.I am 32 years old with a very good job dealing with people throughout the day. At the time it seemed like the right choice to make, but I am now afraid to go through the process.My next appointment is in 2 days to have them installed.Should I run?
