To those who've used it regularly, has it stained your teeth at all? I was considering using it, but I read about someone who thought it stained his teeth. I want to keep mine white and bright.

ok, so i posted a question about a week ago concerning an issue with bonding. i said my dentist wanted to pull out my left "eye tooth" but i fount out he wants to remove my left lateral incisor. after he removes it he will fill the gap with bonding and cover the rest of my upper teeth with a thin layer of bonding to make them nice and white. does it make a difference that he wants to remove a lateral incisor or no? like i asked before, should i do it or no? my teeth are a BIG deal to me and i dont want to mess them up for the rest of my life. im only 16 years old and i want nice teeth throughout my life. suggestions?

My cousin is considering having jaw surgery but she wants to know how long she'll need braces. She's 19 so she doesn't want them for too long.

I got my one tooth pulled on my right side of the mouth. I am wondering if I can eat solid food right away, or if I should take it easy for a few days? I do know not to smoke for four hours, (I don't smoke anyways) and no mouth wash for 24 hours and so forth. I am taking pain med. for it.

This was by the worse tooth, I got pulled so far. I had two others pulled without a problem, but I had an infection in this tooth and was on medicine, but it still wasn't cleared up when he pulled it, OUCH!

But any tips, I would really appreciate it!

i had a root canal done 2 years ago and it recently became "reinfected". i went on antibiotics for 6 days then had the root canal re-done. i finished up the last day of antibiotics and was still in severe pain even while on 3 ibuprofen. He switched me to a higher dose antibiotics for the next 7 days and put me on 2 vicoden every 6 hours, but its not working. i seem to be in more and more pain as the time passes by. i usually have a strong tolerance for pain (never been on anything stronger than ibuprofen before) and i am just in agony even with the vicoden. he just says i have a low tolerance for pain and that it is all normal. on a scale of 1-10, my pain is a 8-9 most of the day!!!! i have only eaten liquids for the past 5 days and i can barely open my jaw. i don't know what to do, the pain is so bad. i know there are no nerves in the tooth, but the pain is everywhere in my jaw around that area.

I was very sick for a while and during that time pretty much everything crashed on me dental wise, and I already have $16,000+ in dental bills I put on the credit card, $2000 I haven't paid yet, and quite a lot more to go and things still look terrible.

I don't know what I can do besides run my credit card up higher, and eventually I won't be able to do that anymore.

any ideas?

I'm on disability and Medicare has no dental coverage.

While I was trying to brush my teeth today I found out that my platinum and gold diamond encrusted "grillz" had become stuck on my upper jaw's teeth. I assume I came into this predicament when I got punched in the jaw last night. Evidently, the rather large gentleman's fist had enough force to bend the highly malleable metal slightly to where it is now essentially "crimped" around my teeth. I need help in removing my grillz with out damaging them, as they are rather expensive. Should I go see a dentist or an Orthodontist? Will they have to ruin my Grillz?

Ok, I finally had my root canal done today!!! YAHOO!!! 3 canals and 3 hours long! I did however want to hear some of your opinions (professionals), on what you think of this. I have to say first that my dentist studied endodontics for an additional 2 years and seems to be very accurate and careful in her work. Ok, so I had 2 teeth side by side that were in question. a 1rst and 2nd molar. The 1rst Molar was broken down and the xray showed it was very close to the nerve. The second molar xray was hard to tell but appeared that it wasn't in need of a root canal. My dentist did the ice test on both teeth. I jerked away on both since they both hurt. She was pretty sure it was the 1rst molar, the tooth that was broken down that was causing the pain. She went at it first and discovered an infection. Her diagnose was 1rst molar root canal, 2nd no. Well, when the pain started, it started on the 2nd molar. So, could she have been wrong?

Why can't they use small ones like at the doctors offices? I swear I think it hurts worse just because of the fact that they are so scary looking.

I have a broken tooth, it hurts like hell. It had a silver filling put in it a while ago and now its broke but the filling is still hanging in there. the enamel has been eaten off on the side of it too. I swear I could just rip it out right now, it hurts so bad. I am dirt poor, no dental insurance, how much do dentists usually charge for extractions....and yea I know it depends on the dentist..obviously, but ballpark figure here...

I tend to clench my teeth without even thinking about it, I think I also do it in my sleep because when I wake up my teeth and jaw hurts. My mom said to try to relax my jaw and it works sometimes, but not always. What can I do to avoid this problem?
