I have a TON of dental questions. Please answer all or one!?
1) I hate my dentist and need a new one soon. I'm due to go to the dentist in like 2 weeks.
2) It seems like when I brush my teeth a lot, I get like 2 cavities every time I go to the dentist, but when I don't brush as much as I should, I don't get any cavities? Is there a chance that plaque like protects my teeth, or that toothpaste erodes them?
3) I always feel so nervous when I go to the dentist, but I can't afford sedation dentistry. I've had issues since I had to get 2 teeth pulled for braces when I was 12. It hurt like heck and now I'm afraid everything will.
4) what is your opinion? Is it better to go to a smaller dental practice, or a larger one?
In your sources, when you answer any of the questions, if you could please tell me if you have any experience in the dental field, although I listen to anyone's advice.

what is the best way to floss a dental bridge?
i have a temporary dental bridge covering 2 missing teeth and capping 2 teeth on the right side and i will be getting one on the left side next week. what is the best way to floss it? i have been using oral b superfloss with a threader on one end with spongy floss and the rest is regular floss and i thread it through and pull it all the way through. is that the way to do it or should i move the floss under the bridge along the gumline?
Why are my gums bleeding? I know I don't have Gingivitis…?
Last weekend I bought these new floss things, and my gums have been bleeding ever since. Should I stop using them? I have done my research, so Gingivitis is scratched off of my list. My teeth and gums are very healthy for the most part, and I don't like the bleeding gums every time I floss.

Is it OK to use Colgate Duraphat 2800ppm Fluoride Toothpaste with an electric toothbrush?
will toothpaste reduce the size of a cyst? Why do the cysts keep coming back?
I have cystic acne and people keep telling me to put toothpaste on it. When they go away they keep coming back and i just want them to go away for good.
Do medium bristle toothbrushes clean/disinfect as well as hard bristle toothbrushes do?
I was wondering because I normally use hard bristled toothbrushes but I would brush my teeth too vigorously and my gums would bleed a little. Yesterday, I went to the store and got some Colgate Medium-Bristle toothbrushes and I used them today. After I used them today, my teeth felt clean but I have very bad discolorations on my teeth and I want to be sure that a medium will work as well as a hard brush. Or would my dental hygiene habits matter more than what strength toothbrush I use? Thank you so much for your input!!!
multiple canker sores and white patches of loose skin inside of mouth?
Hello.
The other day I woke up with one side of my neck (right lymph node) hurting. Gradually it got a little painful to swallow. Later the next day I started suffering severe muscle aches (head to toe), and my lymph node had swollen and it was very painful. I noticed a canker sore on the inside of my cheek. Later that night, another one appeared on the inside of my upper lip. Througout the night, i developed a fever of 102 and 2 canker sores multiplied to 30 or more all over the inside of my lips and cheeks. I do have a nervous habit of biting my lips and cheeks to the point where they bleed, (had it for years) but never have I experienced so many sores at once. Along with the sores I have large areas of slightly raised white patches of skin. My lips are swollen, I cant eat, the muscles pains and fever went away, but pain is worse in my mouth.
anyone else experience something similar to multipe sores? Its not herpes (that occurs on outside of mouth) Could it be Lupus?
thanks
Note: I went to a dentist today because I was really concerned and I have two impacted wisdom teeth which I thought that was causing the pain and swelling in my lymph node. She was horrified by the number of canker sores I had and said the white patches could be Lupus, but it could be nothing (im hoping just consequence of me biting my lips and cheeks too much). Really, serious answers only please, hopefully someone with a medical background or knowledge or someone who has had similar or same experience.
