Dental - August 2007

HOW MUCH is a 4 tooth top font bridge??

I paid under $2000 the last two times and they booth lasted over 10 years, moreover look perfect.

My insurance pays up to half up to a max of $1,500.

My new dentist wants $700 a tooth for $2,800.

Is that a good deal? What is the going price in and out of USA?

I know cinnamon helps give you a fresher breath, but does it help fight plaques, cavities, etc... does it do anything for your teeth? I don't want to waste my time using it if it's only good for your breath.

The mouthwash I use to have said it helps fight cavities and whatnot, but this one pretty much only says it fight germs that causes bad breath.

I've had braces when I was younger and unfortunatly, I didn't keep up with the retainer to keep the gap at the side of my teeth closed :-( Is there an alternative I can do at this point in my life?

What's invisalign?

Well, I'm 14 And gunna start my first year of high school. I haven't talked to an orthodonist about getting braces yet either so I'm probably gunna get them on DURING high school. Most of my friends already had braces and got them taken off already.
Is it normal to get it at that time or what?
Will People look at me different?
Will guys think I'm unattractive if I start school without, then and then later on get braces?
PLEASE HELP

I'm going in on Sept. 12th to get a consult, and if I decide to go ahead (which I will) they are going to go ahead and take the x-rays and molds on that same day. After this appointment, appoximately how long after can I expect to wait before they put the actual braces on?? Keep in mind I want to get this done as quickly as possible. Is it going to take a few weeks or a couple of months??? Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

I havent even had my braces for a year yet and I think my teeth look pretty good.
How much longer do you think I will have my braces on for? Do you think I will get them off by the end of the year?
Thanks!<3

i'm 23 years old. it started when i was in college. i have pinpointed the pain to either my lower left wisdom tooth or my lower left molar. my wisdom teeth are partially grown in. i have never had problems with my teeth - besides braces. but the only time my teeth ever hurt is when i get my period. the pain starts on the first day of my period and lasts the duration of it... sometimes till a day or two after my period. what is causing this? am i the only weirdo that has teeth problems as a part of pms?

Wisdom tooth was pulled yesterday morning (broke drilled yanked and stitched). Gum is still bleeding but not as much as it was when I woke up. Went back to surgeon, person was in a rush I guess and didn't see any active bleeding. Gauze was saturated with blood and now if I leave gauze in for 5 minutes about this much is left on it ( @@@@ ). What do I do about this? Also, since I was stitched up should I worry about dry socket? Thanks!

My dentist uses the white (tooth colored) kind, not the silver, if it makes a difference.

Ok this is my deal my upper molars were pulled when I was younger and now the wisdom teeth have come into the spot the molars were. Both wisdom teeth are now cracked and broken and hurt badly. On top of that I have a huge cavity in another tooth and basically the pain can shoot all over the top of my mouth. Once one area stops the next will pick up. I have no dental insurance and desperately need this taken care of as I cant stand the pain this is causing anymore... Please Help!!!

hi - let me see if I c an describe my situation - I'm currently missing about 10 teeth, and I have an upper partial. 5 lowers need crowns. I DID NOT neglect my teeth - here's what happened, essentially a combination of 2 things.1) I got critically ill, I was adrenal insufficient, and at one point all my teeth were repaired, and then within a month everything pretty much crashed, at the time I had infected teeth, and they couldn't get them out, because at the time they didn't want to kill me, so these infected teeth (don't ask me how it happened so fast I don't know - my adrenals wreen't working) - were in there infected a long time - I just started making imporovements in May - and by august I was finally doing well enough to take them out, so thank God the infected teeth are now gone. and I now have an upper partial. Part of what happened also was my lower jaw was/is too far forward, and I had all kinds of trouble with my jaw joint,(please let me finish before answering-con)
