the dental assistant was completely unprofessional, but not at all rude to me. she started slamming and banging the mouse button keys on the laptop when it wasn't doing what she wanted. Being married to a geek I cringed as she was doing this and cursing saying, "F**k". She was opening sterilized items without gloves and one of them fell on the floor and she was playing with it and put it on the counter in it's peg hole. Now, i don't know if it was a drill bit, but it was a short metal object and slightly bigger in diameter and half the size of an ordinary needle. I didn't appreciate having garlic breathe being breathed into my face as she was taking dental xrays. I didn't care to hear that her and her husband fight. I think what bothered me the most of seeing her dropped that small object on the ground and put it next to all of the other ones. what should i do?

Hi. I am a 24 years-old man. I think my teeth are a little yellow. when I told the problem to some of my friends, they answered that it is because of my teeth nature ( my teeth are naturaly yellow) and couldn't be cured. Is that right? Then, how really can I whiten my teeth? It is very important to me.

We can't afford dental insurance and his teeth is bleeding and probably has a lot of cavities. His teeth is really crooked also but we don't have any money to afford a major fix up.
Are there any assistance out there or good dental insurance that will cover everything?

My dentist pulled my tooth last week on Tuesday. It still hurts but I'm also growing molars and the one near the tooth that got pulled is growing in sideways. There is a tooth between the hole and the molar so I think the molar is trying to push the middle tooth over. It really hurts and that dentist is worth crap so I have to get a new one but once I get a new one I can't see a dentist until after June 1. (I really hope that someone can understand what I’m saying) I also think the tooth ach is giving me a ear ach. So I started taking antibiotics just so I don't get an infection and I’m taking pain relievers. But tomorrow I have a very important training for a new job. I just don't know how to get rid of this pain someone please help me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad to say, at this time I can't afford to go to the dentist. Stupid me, I thought somehow my tooth was broken, my friend looked in and said it was rotten. Now I know why I had bad breath I couldn't get rid of, Thank god it doesn't hurt, that's why I never suspected. It's the upper left 2nd molar, I can't see it but my tongue feels it. I tried to file the sharp edge with a nail file.

This has been going on for a while and it is driving me insane. Whenever I eat food or chew gum my jaw pops and rocks so loud people sitting next to me can hear it. It doesn't hurt, but it doesn't feel amazing either.

My orthodontist "diagnosed" me with TMJ back about a year ago, and I haven't been to see him for a while since I got my braces off. Ever since they took my braces off my jaw has had this popping issue whenever I eat or chew anything.

Wussss going on??

It is difficult for my son to close his mouth, and he can't chew. Is this ok? Can he just wait until they dissolve? It appears he has no such stiches on the top, but both sides of the bottom seem to be stictched to his gum. The surgery was Wednesday and this is Saturday night. He continues to be very swollen. Thanks

I'm getting braces soon, and most of my favorite candies are gummies, so I don't think I could have them with braces. If you could just tell me some suggestions, as well as a source (hopefully) I would really appreciate it!!
