I have a 10 month old I started brushing his teeth at 2 months when he got his first 2 teeth no problem's. However now 5 more teeth have erupted in one month and now when I brush his teeth he kicks,wiggles and screams. I also have a finger brush but when I use that he bites and hold down so i can't move around in his mouth. I also tried rinsing his gums with a wash cloth same reaction. Tried different flavor non-fluoride toothpaste no help I just want to do my part to ensure my son has the best chance in not receiving cavities. Any Suggestions ?

So I got braces put on last week. The bottom front teeth are the only ones causing any dramas. The gum is always itchy, and it looks as if the gum line is receding, and more of the bone underneath is showing. The gum is still a pink colour, but was red a few days ago.

Should I go to the dentist to check it out, and what should I do about it?

Hey everyone! I've had braces for over 2 1/2 years now. My orthodontist told me at the beginning it would take 2 years. It's now almost 3 years and my orthodontist keeps prolonging the treatment. I feel this is unnecessary since my teeth are perfect (no spaces/gaps, gums healthy, etc.) and he keeps telling me to wear these rubber bands (which btw have worked in straightening my teeth and now are completely useless). So what do I do?! It's taking FOREVER! AHHHHH!

Sincerely,

Frustrated

I am seriously hoping I will eventually be able to put pressure and eat on that side of my mouth and/or tooth. I had a root canal years ago on one of my upper teeth and it ended up having to be pulled cause my dentist fricked it up! So this time my new dentist sent me to an endodontist to do it and the process went much smoother, but I am still sore. I hope the pain will go away.......any idea on when though? I have pain meds........

Just got the unpleasant news that I have a couple of cavities. While perusing the bill I noticed that my insurance doesn't cover the laughing gas. Now, I have been on laughing gas before when I had a few teeth pulled, but didn't really notice any effects at all. I'm asking this because my dentist wants to charge me $52 for it, which I think is insane. Of course my dentist told me I would probably want it, but I expected that, I wouldn't be surprised if he made upwards of $45 for every time someone wanted it...

Mainly, is it something that is required, and if not, do you think I would make it terribly unpleasent?

I just had my molar pulled in the very back, on the left side of my mouth. Right now there is just a huge hole there, and I don't dare to eat or drink anything besides water and ice cream. When should the hole close up and allow me to start chewing on that side again?

Today to show my friend a feature of my Sharpie Mini, I tried to get the silver clip cap off it. Unable to get it with my fingers, i tried to bite it. The silver part chipped my front tooth a bit. These are my permanent teeth and it hurts pretty badly, like when I drink of bite food. About how long will it take to heal, and is there anything I can do to speed the process?

I went to the orthodontist yesterday, and I have to get braces on all of my teeth. I'm wondering if it will hurt at all for the 2 years that I have to wear them. If it does hurt, please explain what hurts, and how to get rid of the pain! Also explain foods that I can't eat, thanks!

I have a gap in my front two teeth and I can fit my fingernail through it. I already need braces for my bottom teeth, so I was wondering if I need braces for my top teeth. A family friend said if you can spit through your two front teeth, then you need braces. I can do that so I was really wondering. I am only 11 so I want to know if I need braces for my top and bottom teeth.

I was suppose to get braces, but it turns out, my teeth are too messed up for my normal dentist to handle so he's referring to an orthodontist, but he's telling me they'll probably want their own x-rays. I took x-rays and even the clay models of my teeth with this guy and he's telling me they want their own. My insurance only covers one x-ray a year for me. Anyway don't i own those x-rays anyway and can't i send them to whoever
