I'm 14 years old and I ate hard food and part of my left molar is loose on the side. It broke off but it is still attached to the gums just not the whole tooth. The thing is, i had a root canal on that molar.I don't have a crown there only a filling...The part that broke off is hurting like crazy I can barely eat, IT HURTS REALLY BAD. I thought the tooth is dead is it supposed to still cause pain? Can the dentist still save the tooth or will it result to extraction?
I'm gonna tell my mom to schedule a trip to the dentist later.

Please help and thanks.

I had my 2 lower wisdom teeth removed in June , i don't have anything negative to say about the experience -- everything went well, literally piece of cake, the healing process was a b*t** however, lots of pressure in the area's that were healing.....i was pretty sure at the time is was coming from the wisdom tooth area that was removed - during the extraction they chipped my tooth (the one next to the wisdom tooth they were removing)

2 weeks ago i went in to get my chipped tooth fixed -- ever since that i've been getting that pressure like symptom but in the jaw area - spreading at times in the centre of my jaw, or the top or bottom -- always different. Thank God for Advil as i'm taking one every 5 hrs so the headaches and pressure go away.-- i'll even wake up at night with the pressure -- its extremlely uncomfortable --- I have an appointment next wk with my oral surgon -- does this sound like TMJ or a possible infection ? but where - in my jaw?

How can I excite my daughter to want to brush her teeth. I want them to have good healthy teeth. I bought one of those character spin brushes that worked for 2 days or so. Does anyone have some tips or ideas that maybe you use to get your kids to brush there teeth. Thanks so much in advance

No pain, or aches. I'm 22 and have all four wisdom teeth. Two on top are far to reach (to clean) but I'm not ripping em out for nothing. I hate going through all that pain. So dentist recommends I get the bottom two out since they are pointed right at the ROOTS of my last teeth (on both sides). Like I said, no pains or aches, but she said they'd have to break some bone to get in there and dig it out? I'm so scared...is there any chance of them not moving from their position in the future, so I don't have to get them taken out? Or do most wisdom teeth shift positons? What is your opinion on this?

I have 3 cavities needing to be filled. One or two of the three in the front I think.
My dentist recommended that I get ZOOM teeth whitening done, THEN get the white fillings matched to the new shade of my teeth.
I read the consent form for Zoom and it said something about open cavities and the bleaching gel getting into will cause substantial pain.
So then why is my dentist not doing my fillings first, then the ZOOM?
Also, I have mild/moderate generalized enamel hypoplasia and she said the ZOOM would blend all my white spots in (and my teeth are a bit yellow to begin with).
I did read something about ZOOM being less effective on white spots...so am I going to end up with blotches?
What are your opinions?
BTW, I have heard having ZOOM done is like chewing on tinfoil.

I brush twice a day,rinse with mouthwash once a day and floss about 3 times a week. I know I could do better but do you think that I look after my teeth better than most people?

Since the kid's teeth had developed, she's always taken care of them. She visits the dentist every three months, receives her cleaning, has several fillings and sealants done and receives a new tooth brush. Yet, regardless of all the extra attention these teeth receive, they develop these dark yellow-brownish specs and that grow rapidly as if they enamel was evaporating. Her dentist swears that it's the childs's diet, too much acid, like soda. But I can atest that mom is doing everything possible to prevent decay, yet it is still occuring. I've never seen anything like this before. My daughter and her's eat the same foods, use the same brand of toothpaste, and we don't allow sweets or soda. My daughter's yet to have a cavity, but my girlfriends kid, it's like she has a disease of the teeth or soemething of that nature. What is it? She sees a general dentist since seeing a pediodontist is too expensive. Can anyone out there help us pinpoint the name of this adnormality. It's not ECC, Early Childhood Caries, or AI. Both parents teeth are fine. Help someone, please.

I went to the dentist yesterday and I am suppose to get braces the next time I go back in about a month. I had one cavity and they put two fillings in my teeth at the back on the top and bottom. I also had to get shots for numbness so I wouldn't feel pain and that hurt really bad. Still hurt as of now I can barely chew food. I just want to know will braces hurt I've heard so much about them and will they also help my teeth because they are trying to space apart. The dentist told me that I don't have a over bite or a under bite, its called something else which I've forgot, something like anti bite or something. please help!

I seem to have thickening on and inside the cheek where I had a root canal done years ago. I don't know if it was always like that, or if the root canal caused it. What do you think, and on what do you base your opinion?

Did it noticeably whiten your teeth? How long did the results last? Was it worth the money? I have an appointment next Tues to get my teeth professionally whitened at the dentist. Do you have any personal experiences you can share?
