I'm 22 and haven't been able to go to a dentist since I was 16 due to lack of dental insurance. I brush regularly and also floss but I haven't had my wisdom teeth pulled out (I believe almost all 4 are almost completely grown in or partly) and it seems as though my gums are receding very badly in the front. The past year I haven't been able to brush w/o my gums bleeding at least a little bit and sometimes they will bleed for no reason. I'm very worried about my teeth and what will happen to them, I even have dreams that they are falling out! I'm curious what I should do about my problem or what may be happening to me.

I am not joking. In the 50s-60s sometime it must have been started, and my grandparents, parents and all my cousins weren't allowed to get flouride teeth treatments at school or use the toothpaste. So we all got alot of cavaties as kids. Where the heck would an idea like that even come from?
P.S. At 18, I started using flouride and am definitely still a capitalist American, but without more cavaties.

I had to take my kid to the dentist and i know its been a long time since i was a kid, but when i was his age i thought they would just pull em. Now the dentist said that my son had 3 small cavities, and 2 (baby root canals) on his baby teeth. I dont know what the heck that means or how the heck he got em concidering he gets his teeth brushed everyday. I asked the dentist to just pull the ones with the root canals, and fix the others, but he said that pulling is a bad idea. I saw the bill and it was quite high. And the insurance only covers 60% on root canals (how conveinient). I asked him how much it would cost me if they were pulled and he wouldnt tellme, but just repeated how bad it would be for the big teeth. I feel they just want to charge money for no reason other then to lace their pockets with money. Anybody else have info or feel the same way.

I have recently had my braces removed and am really dissatisfied with the work. My jaw pops when I yawn, my bite is off-center on the lower and upper, and some of my teeth are still crooked. I spoke with a new orthodontist a month after getting them off, who says that because of all the extra work needed, that it will cost me about the same now as it did to get them in the beginning. My old ortho offered to take another look at my teeth, but he feels confident that they are straight enough. I found this guy through 1-800-dentist because I was new to the area. That was a huge mistake and one hell of a life lesson that cost me $5000. Since I don't feel comfortable letting this guy do any more work, does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? Is is possible that I could be entitled to a refund of some sort?

I know it's the job of Dental proffesionals to save as many teeth, in as many mouths as possible. However, My upper set of teeth, are so cosmetically, and structurally disfigured from years of, shall we say "poor choices", that to be honest, I'd be very happy to have the ones that are still there removed. constant pain in the ones that aren't visible, and most of the ones you can see when I speak are either missing, broken, or black. I went to one dentist that wanted to charge me several hundred dollars per extraction. the math here boggles my mind, and over strains any dental plan out there. I appreciate any advice offerred, and hope for the best. Thanks

I haven't eaten any hard/sharp foods. In the shower I noticed a bloody taste in my mouth, my farest molar seemed to be bleeding form the center of the tooth or maybe just the gums surrounding it. But the center of my tooth is a dark color like it was bleeding there.

No pain. Just blood. It has stopped (for now at least?)

What is this?

I went to the dentist today and they told me to put Veneers on my front 6 top teeth would be about the same price as Invisilign.

Which would you prefer?

The dentist says since I am 24 they would hate to grind down my original teeth, but then Invisilign could take over a year, easily.

What do you think?

Has anyone ever used oil of cloves for a toothache?

Where do I find it, and how much does it cost?

How do I use it?

Is it dangerous to use on teeth?

I have 2 teeth hurting really bad. I am scheduled to get them pulled on Monday, but need to be out of pain until then. I have read that Oil of Cloves works.

Any other home remedy ideas? I have taken 800 mg of Motrin already, and I have done warm salt water, and ice packs on my cheek. I have brushed my mouth. I am out of ideas.

I would appriciate any suggestions that come my way!!!

I never really thought about it till my wife told me she closes her eyes. My whole life i have always kept my eyes open. I just look at the ceiling until the dentists face is in the way, then I kind of look through him. The thought never occurred to me to close my eyes, but now that my wife says she closes her eyes, I feel maybe my dentist, and his assistants may think I'm a freak and assume I'm gazing into their eyes.
