I have braces and at first they were fine, until I got pregnant. My gums begin to inflame, the OB and the Dentist said that was normal, now that it's been 2 months since I had the baby I am afraid that my gums will never be normal again. Of course the inflammation has decreased but not very much. I brush twice a day, and I floss when possible, what else can I do?

I have a gum boil on a tooth that I had a root canal on last year. Must it be pulled? A lot of pus is coming from it. Is it painful having it pulled if need be?

I understand the concept of flossing, but have trouble doing it.
I tried using floss string, and could not force it through the gaps between my teeth as it felt like I was pulling my teeth apart.
I tried interdental brushes, but they were even worse, even with the thinnest brush, it would not get through the gap.

Now, since my teeth are so closely joined, does this mean bacteria cannot get to my gums?

I use mouthwash, and after gargling with it and swishing the stuff around my mouth, when I spit it out, I see nothing. Whereas other people have lots of "bits" when they do it.

I only worrying about flossing (which I have never actually tried), because although I brush regularly, have healthy teeth and have never had any dental work done, my teeth has a horrible yellowish tint, which the dentist says is normal, but people with worse teeth than me, have whiter teeth.

I read we have small cracks in the teeth which bacteria use to enter teeth and make them yellow. Is this true

Is chewing any good for teeth or should be avoided. Is it true what they write on the cover (sugar free)

Ok .. got mine pulled last monday, and it is now about to be at a week tomorrow & my mouth still aches. Only thing that works is percoset, but can't drive, can't concentrate at school .. etc.. tried the Aleve the doctor told me about but doesn't work, makes my tummy hurt. The pain is making my whole head hurt. I am about to run out of narcotics and don't know what to do. I have not smoked once (and I'm a smoker) and rinsed and did what I was supposed to do! I see the doctor tomorrow at 7am .. but what do you all think is wrong? Thanks so much for the help, I'm miserable! :o(

I can a mouth ulcer at least 2 - 3 times a year. I'm not sure what causes it, but it hurts bad.. I tried the salt water, but it hurts so bad when I try to "swish" it around. Is there anything out there that I can buy to make it feel better or just make it go away???

I had my teeth pulled on Tuesday and it is now Saturday. While rinsing my mouth out with the saltwater i loosened up one of the stitches! Part of it was just hanging there so i cut it and the rest is still in my mouth. Is this bad?
Also, I was given an irrigating syringe thingy that the nurse said to stick it directly into the socket and gently shoot warm water into the socket....is this correct or did i mishear her....wont that hurt a lot?
Thanks!!

I have been told that toothpaste contains sugar which can break down your teeth, is this true? I use Colgate Cavity Protection toothpaste and an Oral-B sonic tooth brush. I floss of coarse as well. Would you recommend I do things different or should Keep things the same?

I don't have any loose teeth and i'm pretty sure I don't have gum disease but if a person does have loose teeth due to periodontitis is there any way to prevent them from falling out? Like I know that if they're really loose then they have to be pulled out but what if there is only a very slight movement. Somebody asked me this today and I didn't know the answer so I figured I try to find out.

Ok, so. One moring I wake up with my upper right tooth the third one, loose. I am not sure if it was permanate, cause I don't remember if I lost it or not when I was younger younger.
So It started getting looser and looser, and finally, few months later I pulled it out since it was dangling. NOW I am scared it was a permanant tooth. I have nitemares about it, and its really getting to me. Should I go to the doctor? (I pulled it out just a few days ago)
