i have been to 4 dentists since july. the first said i have one filling that needs to be replaced (true) and i should think abuot getting my wisdom teeth out bc i have a small cavity in one.
Second fills the filling that fell out and says my teeth are just fine (August). leave them alone. In mid-September i see an oral surgeon for the wisdom teeth and he says i have 2 large cavities in my wisdom teeth. The fourth I saw at the beginning of October. She says no cavities and I don't need my wisdom teeth removed, but I have 2 fillings that need to be replaced or they could lead to root canals. Don't you think the other 3 dentists would have noticed the 2 fillings that needed replacing? The second did not take x-rays, could that be why he didn't mention that? If I go see a 5th I will probably just get another totally different diagnosis. I didn't realize dentistry was so subjective. Any advice for whether I should let the dentist replace the fillings? They are not bothering me.

I heard that you should not use bleach on dentures if they have metal in them, because it would turn the metal black. Is this true? Mostly I am wondering if I can use bleach without causing damage.

You know, the whole "make them sharp enough to cut your tongue" deal. And I mean the front top teeth, maybe the first six?

My wife has braces and a small overbite. Before she can get her bottom braces on, the orthodontist said she needs time for the top ones to "open things up" a bit so she's not biting on the bottom braces when they get put on.
Because she was told a lot of things and asked a lot of questions, this one kind of got missed.
Does anyone know how braces for an overbite would "open up" anything so a person wouldn't hit the bottom braces with the top teeth? You'd think that with a slight overbite you wouldn't want anything more "open".
We don't get it.
Will be asking him at the next visit but are curious now. lol

does that mean 22 months since you get your full set of braces? or 22 months since you get your bottom braces? (I got my bottom braces first, then a few months later, my top braces.)
