Dental - June 2007

I had to wear braces for about 9 months only cause my canines were out and my teeth were aligned like half of a square instead of U. I removed my braces 4 months back. I lost my retainers 2 weeks ago (it went in the trash can and to the dump) I am afraid that my teeth will come out esp. my canines. I have a feeling that It already slightly has (but maybe i am wrong cuz i keep thinking about it and it looks lk its moved to me)

So do i need to get new retainers? Or wearing it for 4 months is enough and that it wont move.
I could go to the dentist but I am scared what he might say and ofcourse he will say to get a new one cuz we'll pay him.

Thanks in advance!

Im looking for real life experience on the functional ability as well as the aesthetic value. I am missing four teeth and have been considering implants but that also includes bone grafting for all four sites and I really just cannot afford it I am afraid. I have decided already to havea Maryland on the bottom but Im thinking now, "why not on the top as well?" Any help would be wonderful. Thanks :)

If you have 2 slighty crooked teeth do they have to correct that before putting veneers? Is there much pain after the surgery?

A couple weeks ago i had some fillings put in and they put me on nitrous oxide for the first time. After about 30 seconds of breathing it in i felt very lighheaded, enought to feel like i was going to faint. Is that normal? What are the normal feelings you get while using nitrous oxide?

I havent had my consultation yet but I will soon. I was told I would need 4 removed, but I wouldnt be surprised if I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out as well. I was just wondering if my procedure will be the same as anybody elses.

What else besides orbase can you use for a canker sore/tongue ulcer? Anything homepathic that you used that works?

hi i would like to find a good dentist. a dentist who isnt into cosmetic surgery and making money. one who doesnt find it a waste of time to fill in my cavity even though it isnt lucrative, like veneers. thank you for your help.

I had 2 lower teeth extracted on Saturday afternoon, and I was given like 15 Ibuprofen 800mg tablets for pain. I had to double the dose & take 2 tablets every 4 hours instead of 1 tablet, to do any good at all. I now only have 1 tablet left. The dentist is closed today & won't open until tomorrow (Tuesday) until about 2:30pm. What can I do to help reduce the pain until the dentist open, as no over the counter pain medicine help & this is quite bad pain as it was a very difficult extraction? I have done salt-water rinses, however it does not reduce any pain I'm in other than for like 2 minutes, than it comes right back.

If so how many? For some reason i never had one. Which is surprising, because i had terrible oral hygiene when i was younger. Why do some people get cavities and some dont?

Hi there.

I am freaked out. I have a white head on my gum. The white thing, which is like a small ulser, is a little bit covering my front lower tooth ( I think it's called "lower right lateral" ). Every time I touch the area or eat on it, the tooth starts to bleed. The tooth has a tiny cavity spot on its corner, which is close to the gum.

I tried to take a picture for the tooth, with every device i got, but the pictures didn't look good.

I am really afraid because I have just came to the United States and I don't have any health insurance nor a job. I need your advice and what to do and where to go.

Thank in advance.

i've always wondered... when i was thirsty and desperate, i've tried drinking my own saliva. this however (=P) was veeery ineffective. why? why can't i also spit til i've filled half a cup and then quench my thirst? is it something as simple as not enough saliva?

My breath really smells. I brush my teeth multiple times a day, I floss, I use mouth wash.. I don't smoke, don't eat anything gross. I chew gum and it is fine, but as soon as I am done it comes back....I do to the dentist, what is up with my rank breath?

I was flossing my teeth today and I noticed that there was a little bit of blackish stuff on one of my back teeth. I picked at it a little and a tiny bit came off but not all of it. What is this? Is it a cavity? I've never had one before and I brush 2-3 times a day plus floss so I'm not sure how that could happen. Also on the other side of my mouth, when I bite down hard, it is sore. Any ideas to what either of these could mean??? Thanks!!!!!!

She has a good set of everything else, but I'm wondering why her canines haven't come in? She's 18 months, and I know she has time, it's the pattern (canines last and delayed from the others) that I wonder about. Has anyone else seen this pattern of dental development?

I was eating a chip and it sliced open the gum behind one of my molars two or three days ago, and my gum has been swollen ever since. You can hardly see my tooth because the gum is so swollen around it. When will it go down? And is there a chance it could get infected? What will happen if it's infected?
