How long do the results from professional teeth whitening last?
I am getting my braces off during April break after 3 years, and my teeth have always been yellow-ish. My mom said I could have my teeth whitened professionally once because its expensive. i have heard it lasts 6-9 months but I was wondering if that applies to me because i don't drink any coffee or tea and i don't smoke.
i plan on using crest whitestrips afterwards to keep them white.
What can cause severe tooth pain with no signs of decay?
Recently I was able to get some dental insurance after 3 years (ugh). Managed to bump out all of my dentist appointments in a 2 week block (about 5 fillings, and a cleaning). I had been having severe pain in my upper left (farthest back) molar for nearly a year by this point and I had assumed it was just a bad cavity that would flare up randomly with breaks in between. However the fillings I got were on the lower jaw and not, in fact, where I had the tooth pain. I asked my dentist and he double checked that tooth personally, looked over the x-rays and seemed utterly stumped as to why it would feel the way it does. There is no visible decay, and nothing wrong showing in the x-rays. When the tooth isn't causing severe pain it feels very different from my other teeth. More sensitive to touch, and almost throbs like it's coming out of being numb. Very weird to chew with. When it IS hurting, it feels like it's 3x too big to be in my face. Pressure relieves some of this pain but not enough. Seems to be worse when laying down. After 2 nights of interrupted sleep because of this and I'm taking him up on the oral surgeon recommendation. But I wanted to come armed with a few ideas and potential diagnosis. (note: I've been using sensitive teeth toothpaste for over two weeks now and it's helped my other teeth wonderfully, but not this tooth. Flossing twice daily and using fluoride mouth rinse once nightly as well.)
Wisdom teeth have been removed! :)
How do I get rid of white spots?
How do I get rid of white spots on my teeth? I had braces for 2 years and 3 months but I got them off about 3 years ago. I have always brushed after each meal, flossed at night, and used the special mouthwash they wanted me to use. However, I still have white spots on my teeth. They have improved, but how do I make them go away?

Can you get a canker sore on your lip?
I frequently get canker sores inside my mouth/on my tongue but yesterday 2 lesions appeared on my bottom lip! They look exactly like a canker sore (ulcer-like) but I thought that they only occur inside the mouth? Bottom line I am nervous that these are cold sores. I am regularly tested and have had the same partner for almost 3 years and the only issue I have ever had was being diagnosed with HPV about 7 years ago.

How long will it take for my white tongue and bad breath to go..?
I've had this for about 3 years now, and I didn't use to brush my tongue and now this is the consequence! I bought an orabrush like 8 days ago, and have been using it to brush my tongue. And I brush my teeth well.. But the thing is, I have braces, so I think that that's contributing aswell! But the bad breath is coming from the back of my throat.. Do you have any home remedies that could help?
Thanks!
what is the best pain med for back pain?
I have had a back problem for 4 years and even had a fusion 3 years ago and have been on hydrocodone ever since. No matter how much I take, it just doesnt work. What is the best med to take for pain relief other than oxycontin? I am not interested in getting high, I just want a break from the constant pain. Is methadone effective? I have heard it doesnt get you high. Any suggestions?
