I got braces yesterday and they hurt really bad. I also got bite stoppers so my molars don't touch anymore. My front tooth on the bottom keeps hitting it and everytime it does, it hurts really really really bad. What sooths the best (I don't take medication) and what is good to eat now?

I have been looking for insurance and cannot find any that are a fair deal. Either they are pretty cheap monthly with HUGE payments (like 400 for the surgery) or they have low payments but I would be paying more throughout the months. Any ideas on good insurance in Cali?

I cut my gum on a toothpick. I think its infected. Will it go away on its own or could it spread and ruin my teeth? I can't afford a dentist, but I can go to a clinic type of thing today.

I seem to clench my teeth and grind my teeth while sleeping at night. Do you know if there's a temporary Splint you could get at a general store to control this until I get to a dentist?

I have been drinking 1-2 tablespoons of ACV in a 6-8 oz. cup of hot water mixed with tea and honey, once or twice a day. My front teeth have a slight two toned discoloration. The top is more solid and regular, the bottom of the tooth is actually whiter than before, and around the biting edge looks slightly transparent. Could this be from the apple cider vinegar even though I have been diluting it??

I have deformed dental roots and im prone to abcesses. Today the dentist said i need quite a few teeth removing , clearly i was horrified, then he suggested temporary plastic dentures. Im worried what these may be like.

I have been using a bite guard at night for several years to prevent me from grinding my teeth. My question is about cleaning the guard. Other than toothpaste, do any of you have suggestions for cleaning it? What has worked for you? What should I avoid? Thanks!

I had a consulation with a great Orthodontist in Downtown DC. He suggested i get top invisglin and bottom metal braces, only wearing them for about a year. Great just can't afford $7480 or $6580 (for all metal.) Lower would be better. Help!

I tend to get this stuff on my tongue. It's irritating as it looks bad and can cause bad breath. I have no idea why I get it, I'm not sick or anything. The only way I can get rid of it is with brushing my tongue like my teeth. That takes a while though, and the mint really gets to me when I do that. Also, the yellow goes kinda far back, further than I can brush without choking. Any solutions, or does anyone even know what it is and why it happens?

I have a tooth grinding problem I have had all my life. I had to have my lower right molar in the back removed(not wisdom tooth). Now the one on the left has gotten really bad, its completely broken past the gum line all the way around. I'm really scared about the procedure to take it out. What will they do to remove the remaining tooth? I have horrible dental ins. and I don't want to trust just anyone. Is there such a thing as temporary dental ins? HELP I'm really nervous

I am still quite paranoid of dry socket. How deep is this clot I'm protecting, and how easy is it to dislodge? Its the top, right side wisdom tooth...hole.

The gum on the one side is red and there's a hard lump. I've also got pain on that side when I swallow and the bottom of my chin hurts on that side. I've got the doctors tomorrow as can't get into dentist for 2 weeks! Someone said it could be a viral infection.

Ok, the last few weeks, i've had pain in the lower right side of my mouth. Just yesterday, i finally was able to see what the cause is. I think it has something to do with the fact that in the back right bottom side of my mouth, i can see a small tooth, which i'm guessing is a wisdom tooth, covered by a small flap of gum. It's not really EXTREMELY painful, but more of an annoying pain, except when i eat certain foods. Is this normal, or should i go and get it looked at? I fear dentists, and i really don't want to have my gum cut off or tooth pulled if i don't have to. Thanks in advance.
