I've got a gap in the front row of my upper teeth and I want to get rid of it because it makes me look stupid. What can the dentist do to "fill" in the gap? Is this procedure expensive? Will it hurt?

I don't have dental insurance, and I am not sure if I should be selective based on prices, or if I should just assume that they all charge the same prices.

i realized i had a slight underbite when i was like 15 but my front teeth could touch , and by 16 it seemed to have gotten worse coz my front teeth wouldn't touch anymore. Not that big a deal, but makes it a little hard to like, eat noodles or somehting. I went to the dentist and he said that my teeth themselves were perfectly straight (although a little off center) and to cure my underbite, i'd have to get a major surgery involving removing teeth and slicing my lower jaw open or something, i cant remember. He also said there's a chance that the surgery will not be that successful and my teeth might end up worse than how it started.

what kind of surgery is that? is it costly? can anyone describe and explain it to me properly? also is there really a big chance of the surgery going wrong? coz my dad refused to let me get it once he said there was a chance something might go wrong and it was a major surgery.

i'm 16, will my jaw still keep growing and will my underbite get worse?

I'm thinking about becoming a Dental Assistant to where sometime down the road I could become a Dental Hygienist.


Does this sound like a good idea?

Because I could go for my schooling to be a Dental Assistant and when I become one I will learn a lot from it and continue on to being a Dental Hygienist and that may seem a lot easier to do that way.

I heard it is hard to get into a program though.

Although I am still in High school I get average grades or better.

You never know I may change my mind by the time college gets around but I am very interested in this Career.

What do you think?

What do they use to stick the brackets onto your teeth? How are they sure that they're strong and won't fall out? Is it possible for a braces to be accidentally removed because of your tongue or been accidentally hit? How strong and durable are braces?

You can always tell they have been using something to whiten their teeth and their teeth have an almost purplish color to them!

hi all. last week I developed an infection in my wisdom tooth which spread along my gum. went to dentist on monday after nearly a week of suffering (had it before and it cured itself) and was prescribed metronidazole 200mg 3 times a day. the pain started to die down after 24 hours and it's now 72 hours since I started the antibiotics and am on my last 2 tablets. My gum is back to normal now except for one white looking bit at the back of the wisdom tooth which is sore when I smile widely! do you think this is still infection or just pressure pain? my glands have now gone down after being very swollen and sore. I have an apt for tues to get it out but am worried that if there still is some infection they won't take it out there and then. should I ask for a few more days perscription? thanks!

I had a peek and saw a tooth starting to grow through. At first I thought it was a wisdom tooth but it turns out its actually a 2nd molar! I thought these were supposed to grow through at about aged 11 (I am now 20). I had the exact same problem with my upper left 2nd molar although I no longer experience pain. Is it normal for someone of my age to have only just started to have her 2nd molars grow through? It seemed I was late to lose my baby teeth and my dentist said I still have one left. Is this normal?

I had a calcium deficiency as a kid and consequently had multiple fillings in every tooth. In early adulthood I received four fixed permanent bridges and several crowns. The cost was almost as much as my first home. I lost my insurance coverage just as they were beginning to fail. I now wear dental plates. They don't hurt but, they are annoying. I only take them out to brush and frequently, Part of the problem ? Please, serious answers to the above question.

I had extreme tooth pain and tried to set up an emergency appointment with my dentist. I was told they're full for over a week. I couldn't even get them to prescribe antibiotics, they told me to ask my regular doctor. Thankfully, I was able to get Penicillin VK (750mg total daily). In a few days, I finally had relief from the pain. The problem is, this morning my face began to swell, in front and above the bad tooth. I phoned a nurse at the hospital and after talking with her, she said I need to be seen by a dentist within 24 hours. Well, the two dentist I can see are both full. I decided to head to the er, since she insisted. The doctor said the infection is in the bone and there's nothing he could do. He said the tooth has to come out and I need to see a dentist as soon as possible. Well, I already tried. He said the antibiotics aren't doing their job since I'm swelling. I'm on 2000mg total daily now. I tried the dentists again and the soonest opening is five days away. Is this safe?

I had a bunch of pistachios recently, that's the only thing that I can think of that may have caused this irritation.

I had a molar pulled while I was pregnant- well it was really a stump of yuckiness as it was a root canal/crown that broke apart. So now I have a missing tooth there- do I have to get an implant or bridge? What will happen if I just leave the empty space there?
