Dental - February 2007

I'm not sure, except don't eat anything sticky or crunchy, what are someother thing to do.

And I know about regular brushing and flossing, but also I'm wondering, can I do it tonight, or will it be too much pain or what?

The dentist didn't tell me much except the no sticky/gummy/hard food or candy. and to brush hard, on that area.

The porcelin crown is 837 and a stainless steel is 180. My dentist won't do a stainless steel on an adult, but another dentist (that my mother uses) will. This is on a tooth that will be slightly visible when I smile, but the cost difference is huge.

Is one REALLY that much better than another??? Series answers only please. Right now money is a huge issue in my life and I don't want to spend 837 unless I really have to.

For breath freshener-can you eat it raw what does it taste like and does it work raw or does just the oil from the seed have the breath freshening use? hmmm I used to get Breath Assure tabs but they are now discontinued. Now I use Mint Assure and am pretty sure they are the same thing jsut covered in mint? But I have to take more Mint assure to get the same result. They are hard to find also. SO yeah can I just eat parsley and how much should I eat?

I have white marks on my teeth which I thought was because I was lacking calcium so I practically drowned myself in milk for 3 months but it did nothing so i did a little bit of researching and I found it could be to do with fluorosis etc so I've come to terms with it because its unfixable. I would just like to hear from other people who have the same problem to just kind of comfort me. xxx

I went to one dentist who told me I'd only have to wear braces for one year. Insurance information was taking too long (dentist fault for mailing papers, we're talking two months no progress). I went to another and he's saying two years minimum. So I'm wondering can i just get the dentist to send the x-rays and measurements to another dentist for a second opinion and skip having to get another x-ray and prolong me finally getting braces

I got my wisdom teeth pulled Friday morning. The 2 on my left hand side, upper and lower. They said no smoking, and I haven't smoked yet, but today I'm back at work and super stressed. Do you think it's safe to smoke yet? It's been 3 days (well from Friday morning to day morning), and it's kinda healing over and closing up. The dentist said if I smoked it would mess up the blood clot and I would have a "dry socket" which is extremely painful. What do you think? If I don't smoke a cigarette I might dropkick somebody soon.

My boyfriend has a really bad tooth infection (abscess). I have kissed him a couple of times -- not even thinking about it.

Is there any way for me to catch his infection?

Ps. He in the process of treatment.

I need to find a dentist in the Dallas Texas area, that handles exstensive oral surgery, cosmetic surgery, and that uses sedation or still uses gas. It would be helpfull if this dentist office accepts payments, because all I have is AFLAC dental, and it will not cover alot of what I need done. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Help!! I've spent £1200 on awful crowns and inlays, one broke today and I went to the surgery to be told that the dentist who did it is off for 2 months and nothing can be done until he returns. I have a sharp broken inlay scratching my tongue but they said its very hard to bond to ceramic so any temp wouldn't help!!! So angry
