When I`m in school, in the middle of the day, or maybe 1-3 hours into school, I`ll go in the bathroom, and my teeth are a yellowish color.
The bathroom is yellow, so maybe the light is making my teeth look yellow. But, like, my teeth are not like super-yellow, but I can notice it. Is there a way, that I can make them look white?
(I feel like I can`t smile when I see my teeth like that)

Chin, jaw, and glands are still as swollen as they were in the beginning, and the infection seems to be 'moving' from one place to another..??
Went to the dentist this morning, but the tooth could not be numbed for extraction, so he has referred me to an Oral Surgeon to be put to sleep to have the tooth removed.
They can't see me for another 10 days. :(
However, the dentist left me feeling scared and panicky..
I know that the infection can spread and be dangerous, and he told me that with 5 days of meds, I should have noticed a huge difference by now. He proceeded to tell me the dangers of the infection and he then told me "not to die on him"...and to have the tooth removed as soon as possible.
I have never had anything like this before and I have no idea what to do...
How long does it take for the meds to work...should I have noticed a huge difference by now...should the area still be hot and not able to numb...is 10 days too long to wait???

At New York parties I always get a migraine from the brilliant white glare of American teeth. Everyone seems to have a hundred of them and close like a stockade, top and bottom.

After sleeping with my face buried in my pillow, I awoke with severe pain radiating from the left side of my upper mouth/cheek area. After about an hour, the pain subsided to an area just above a molar.

I have no pain when I bite down. I don't have pain when I brush my teeth; my gums are not affected. I do have fillings in that tooth that are over 10 years old. Feeling with my tongue, i think one of them might be dislodged.
It will be several days before I can see a dentist. Any ideas?

So I went to the dentist today in severe pain. He took x rays and said that it looks like I have a bubble in my tooth that I had a root canal done on several years ago. So he prescribed me an antibiotic to clear up the infection. He told me that if it don't clear up he was gonna refer me to an oral surgeon who would then have to cut my gums open and clear the infection out. I am not sure what this means. Has anyone ever had this done and if u did does it hurt really bad? I'm scared and want to know what I have to look forward to if this don't work.

I have a bad cavity and Im told I need to either have the tooth pulled or a root canal. Its my very last molar(not wisdom) and I still have a baby tooth two teeth in front of it and it wont last forever. Its going to cost 1275 for the root canal and 1000 for a crown. Is it worth doing I heard they dont last and often fail.

I had a tooth filled about 6 months ago, it was a pretty deep cavity, but I haven't had any problems with it until the past couple of days, when I've been having a dull aching pain in it. Does this sound like I need a root canal in the tooth? If so, how long can I wait, because I've spent a fortune on my teeth over the past year and really can't afford any more major treatment. Is there anything I can do to stop it getting worse?

I want to get a tooth implant where i have a bad tooth that needs to get extracted. what did you pay for the "whole" process? Where did you get it done and would you recommend it? Also did you have to wait till your gum was healed after the extraction?

Her front teeth came in far apart, so I tried to lift her lip to see them and I noticed her top lip is attached to her gums. Is this normal or do you have to have the skin clipped or something?

Well. I'm trying to find as much as I can about this career I wish to pursue. Can anyone please tell me the average a self employed dentist makes annually? Can anyone please send me links to websites that talk about dentistry. Such as it's growth of industry, history, and other things. Thanks in advance.

I heard toothpaste works by replacing the hydroxyapatite in tooth enamel with flourapatite which is less susceptible to acid attacks.so why dont animals suffer from the same problem as they dont normally use toothpaste?

I have a very absessed tooth that dosent hurt to bad, but it has swollen half of my lower jaw and neck to twice its size. I was hoping someone knew of a way to get rid of the infection with out having to go to the doctor as I have no insurance. I have been taking garlic and goldenseal as they are said to have antibiotic qualities, but they dont seem to be doing any good.
