Dental - May 2007

My friend is 20 and last year she had to remove her baby tooth because it was bothering her very bad and now she is planning to put on a bridge this summer. However, she needs to remove another 2 more baby teeth because they also bother her. Therefore, she plans to go out of the country to the trip and have a good time this summer. So, right now she is confused because she doesn't know what do to, eigher her teeth or go to trip.

Auuugh ... well, I've delayed it and put it off because I hate dentists, surgery, and needles scare the crap out of me ...

But I'm in pain. And it'll probably get worse.

So ... anyone want to tell me how much it hurts to get your wisdom teeth removed (all of them)? Like, what do they do? How long does the pain last?

Any information would be useful, thanks ...

So I just got back from the dentist, and my estimate for all repairs to my teeth is $21,000. Including 4 root canals, 6 crowns, 2 bridges and 2 porcelin veneirs. Plus laser surgery on my gums because I have gum disease. I am 20 years old and have no way of paying for all this, even through the CareCredit program. I would like to find a dentist who would allow me to just pull them all and get dentures, but it's hard to do when you are only 20. Anyone have any advice, opinions?

I already use a night-guard to protect my teeth. However, I would still like to stop grinding my teeth at night.

My son is 13 yrs old and still has some baby teeth. What's bothering me is that he has his second canine tooth that has come down without loosing his baby one first. It's been like that for months now and is completely through. Just recently its done the same on the other side only it's just showing. He says when he touches it with his tongue it hurts. I have booked him into the dentist. Do you think he will need braces? I'm not sure what to expect. I took him to the dentist when it first started to come through and was told to leave it and let nature take it's course the baby tooth will fall out. But it's not even loose now. Are they likely to remove the primary teeth?

The dental hygienist told me she was glad the person behind me cancelled their appointment because it took her so long to get the plaqe off my teeth. She finally resorted to getting a special ultrasonic thing which was close to painful. She was digging along with it and telling me, she hope it knocked the plaqe loose.
I brush my teeth 3 times a day, I floss every day at least once.
I use tartar control Crest.
What is with my teeth? Why am I manufacturing all this plaqe.

This is the new motto on the front of the Rembrandt White Strips... Is this not the most creepy statement you have ever heard a company make? Instead of something positive like white teeth bring out a brighter smile, they are saying that if you're a depressed human being who never smiles, it doesn't matter whether ur teeth or white or yellow.
