I was wondering if this chip will grow, dangerously in the future, or whether this will make the tooth more prone to decay. By the way, it is one to the right of my big front teeth.

I am thinking of going to the dentist to get my teeth whitened by the ultra violet light they use these days..has anyone had it done? If so, how did it go? was it worth it? is it safe?

Thanks

I'm 16 y/o never had braces and always had perfect teeth. Just recently a small gap has come between my two front teeth. I haven't got any wisdom teeth yet ( I don't think) Will this gap close and is it a good thing to have extra room when wisdom teeth come in? Thanks for all the help!!!

Okay so I'm getting my retainer soon and what will it do? Will it still help my teeth close? And how long will I have to wear it?

I'm sure he has trench mouth, or something very similar. Sometimes his breath smells like rotten meat, it's really bad! He thinks I'm criticizing him whenever I suggest seeing the dentist, but all I'm trying to do is help him. It's a known fact that bad gums can cause all kinds of heart and health problems, but he insists the smell is coming from his lungs or stomach. I say he should rule out the obvious and go see a dentist first.

Hello everyone. I have an appointment to have my two lower wisdom teeth removed (my uppers have already been removed from the dentist); but the soonest anyone can get me in is July 10th. That's a month away :( I have major swelling on the right side of my face, around my wisdom tooth and around my jaw bone :( I can't chew anything so I got slim fast and it hurts to just talk. I've been taking Tylenol and using orajel, neither seems to be working. the orajel will work for maybe ten minutes and it's worn off. Please give me any suggestions... I'm pretty desperate!

Brief history - I didn't go to the dentist for 9 years (stupid - I know) and then around a year ago I developed a bad toothache and had to go. I had to have a root canal in that tooth, and I ended up getting fillings of varying sizes in pretty much all my other molars/premolars. Anyway, I finished with all the fillings etc about 4 months ago and everything was fine, but over the weekend I've started to get a toothache again and it's getting worse. It's in one of my back teeth on the bottom left, it's got a pretty big filling in it, that covers a lot of the top of the tooth, but it was done about 9 months ago and never gave me any problems until now.

Any ideas what the problem could be? I've made an appointment to see my dentist on Wednesday but I'd like to know what the likely problem is, and what he's likely to do.

Last week I read in here that the best thing to help with a toothache was Oil of clove (Clove Oil), so I got some from the pharmacist but no one said how to apply it. I put some on a cuetip and put some on the top of the tooth and around the gum area and it not only set my mouth on fire, but ten or fifteen minutes later, it felt like someone was pushing an icepick through my gums to the bone. How is the best way to use this stuff - application wrong or what?

Hi, I am going to have an upper tooth extracted tomorrow along with a filling done on the bottom on the left side of my mouth. The upper tooth has died for some unexplained reason. All that is left is the root. My dentist said it will probably be kind of difficult to get out. What am I looking at here on pain management? Will my other teeth slant if don't get a bridge right away? I cant afford the bridge right now since my insurance has run out.

I grind my teeth when I sleep (says my dentist). Could this be causing the huge knots on my neck and the neck and the shoulder/neck pain that I have?

for your body and breath to stop smelling like youve been drinking. My boyfriend was drinking vodka everyday for a few months. Now he has stopped, but his body still smells like vodka! Will the smell go away or is there something wrong with his liver or insides??????
