Dental - May 2007

I think I have an abscess tooth. One of my teeth on the top row is broken and on the inside of the roof of my mouth (if you can follow that) is really swollen where the root of that tooth is. I have all of these white swollen squiggly lines around it also. It hurts so bad. I want to go to the dentist and have them look at it. What would they do since I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant. I don't think I can wait until after baby comes. This is excrutiating pain. Thanks in advance for your answers.

my girlfriend went to a new dentist, and i believe he is milking her for her money. she does to the dentist monthly, and on her first visit to a new dentist, he tells her that she has some kind of gum disease and it can be passed through kissing. i have never heard of this, and i would like to see if this guy is just trying to rob us!

It is between his upper lip and his gums at the very top. It looks like a white circle and it has a red streak coming down to his teeth. All of his teeth are clean and we brush them about once everyother day (I know it should be more often, but he is 3 and he runs).

Please help. Thank you.

Well my daughter is 13 and she has a little hole in between her 2 teeth... I don't know if this is tooth decay because she doesn't brush her teeth before going to bed and she usually eats sweets before bed....

Please help does she need braces or a filling?!!

PS--About 3 yrs. ago my daughter's adult tooth came in before her baby tooth fell out. The dentist pulled the tooth out but there is a hole where the baby tooth used to be BUT THE ADULT TOOTH IS STILL IN THE BACK AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT!!!

Ive been using some sensitive toothpaste for a while now and it says do not use for longer than 4 weeks. I have been and now my tooth (only one) is really starting to hurt when something cold touches it. Could the toothpaste be making it sensitive or is it a cavity? I have not had a cavity before so im not sure what its supposed to be like.

Is it genetic or is there any other explanation that explain why their teeth grow in crooked besides "they just do"?

I'm afraid to ask for nitrus because I'm so sick of needles. Also, I'm scared to ask for the pain medicine you can't get over the counter because I don't want to be seen as a "junkie" Any offers of advice?

1.How many times should you visit a dentist per year?
2.Which is better in preventing cavities? A toothbrush or floss? Only pick one!
3. After how many months should you change your toothbrush?
4. Is the fluoride in toothpastes harmful or helpful to your overall health?
5. Ok, last question.... is bleaching your teeth every 6 months harmful to your teeth?
GOOD LUCK!!

I am 20 years old and never had braces as a child. I have very minor crowding of my upper teeth, and I have an overbite. I talked to my dentist about how to straighten my teeth, and he recommended Invisalign. He referred me to an orthodontist, and I went and had a consultation. He said I had a choice between traditional braces and Invisalign. He said both would correct my bite problem and straighten my teeth, but that traditional braces would probably give better results. At my age, I would much rather have Invisalign. My parents have agreed to pay for this, but they are worried about getting optimal results. The orthodontist said I would have significant improvements with Invisalign, but they are worried about it. I have tried explaining to them that my dentist and orthodontist both wouldn't recommend something if it wouldn't work. What are your thoughts and opinions? Any experiences with Invisalign?

Want something immediate, non-drastic, and non-permanent... Something to make it not noticeable...

Feel free to suggest any other treatments for dental fluorosis.
