How ong does canker sores, a type of mouth ulcer persist?
I have a very painful sore/ulcer on the palate since 4 days. My doc says it was triggered by drug reaction -I had just prior to the outbreak. Applying TESS (Triamcinolone Acetonide) on the area, using chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash & having Rebamipide tabs for fast healing and Cefuroxime Axetil antibiotic tablet that has no effect on healing. Anyone suffered the same? What time it takes for remission? What blood test is necessary for ruling out other possibilities? Answer from experienced & proffessional pl.

Am i whitening my teeth to much?
I just bought these three things: Arm&Hamer toothpaste, Arm&Hamer whitening booster & Aquafresh White trays. IF i use them all daily is there any consequences? Will my teeth suffer in any way or is this just a prefect combination of teeth whitening products? Thanks in advance!
Can a dentist shave one of my tooth's down? *pic*?

The arrow that I drew on the picture (ha) is my left tooth and it's slightly crooked and doesn't match the right one as far as length goes.
Can a dentist just shave it to match the other side? Does it effect your tooth or enamel? Is there any pain involved? How much does tooth shaving cost?
Dark mark on tooth caused by diet, what foods could cause it?
Yesterday my dentist completely got rid of this little dark mark on my tooth with a scrape & polish. So it's GONE now, my tooth is back to normal.
The dentist said the mark was caused by something in my diet, but he didn't know what.
The mark appeared 5 weeks ago. In the 6 months before this mark appeared, this is what my diet used to be:
- Breakfast = low fat cottage cheese, or yogurt, or toast
- Lunch = usually none. Sometimes i had a chicken sandwhich.
- Dinner = 6x a week, i had chicken, prawns or fish, with new potatoes or rice, and some salad or veg.
Most days, i'd eat lots of cashew nuts after dinner.
Can you see anything in my diet, or about my eating habits, which caused the mark? It's NOT decay or acid erosion.
Thanks V much =D
Do I need my tooth pulled?
My molar on my left & right side had horrible cavities when I was younger. So my Grandmother & aunt had them filled. But for some reason they weren't good enough and I remember when I was in 3rd grade I ate a piece of that really hard, store bought popcorn and it pushed up my filling on my left side and I couldn't eat on it for years (I still won't eat on that side because of the pain). Now a few years ago, I guess it just deteriorated on my right side because there is a big black cavity on my right & left side. Also about in the middle of sixth grade (about 2 years ago.) some of my adult started growing in my my left side on the bottom. Now my baby teeth are stuck and literally falling apart. (there is two.) Anyways, the new teeth are pushing them away, but they just won't fall out. I've tried wiggling them but they hurt to much when I touch them. I would say a few months ago, a part of one of those teeth fell apart and fell out. They don't have cavities but I think they have acid erosion. Anyways, recently about a week ago, my left side of my mouth had been causing me major pain. It's sometimes like I can feel my heart throbbing in my tooth it hurts. I would say I think Tuesday, I was crying my eyes out and I fell down on the floor and I was spitting in the sink it hurt so bad. My aunt has been giving me percocets for the pain. She's afraid to give them to me, but I absolutely need them. The pain inturrupts my life and causes me to not be able to do things I need or want to do. Like when it hurts to much, I can't and won't even talk it hurts so much. And I spent the night at a friends house last night, but I had to leave early the pain was too much. I went to the dentist a few years ago and they said I would need a root canal. But thing is, A root canal isn't going to do anything. I WANT THAT BITCH PULLED OUT. It hurts way too much. And also I would probably need my right molar pulled out and also those two bottom teeth that won't come out. But I don't have insurance what so ever, so I'm not sure if I can keep living on percocets until I do because I don't have the money. Which would be cheaper, and less painful, and better for me in the longrun? A root canal or just get it pulled? Or is there something I might be able to do? Help!
Had 2 extractions yesterday morning.. oral surgery help!! paranoid!?
I'd first like to start off by saying.. I do have general anxiety and lately have been paranoid about infections and my health................ due to no insurance, i have had a unfinished root canal that got infected and a root canal right next to it that needed to be extracted. so teeth 30 & 31. my back molar and the one next to it.
dentist told me i had a chronic infection there... and yesterday i was finally able to get them out. i went to an oral surgeon who gave me a payment plan.
now the day after i'm still experiencing some blood especially when i rinse my mouth and it seems like my gum is swollen still and i'm still very sore. i'm wonderin if all this is normal. i am on antibiotics but still paranoid about infectiong :( any input would help.........
is all this discomfort normal? i hurts on that side when i swallow. i feel like my gum is attached to my cheek. its difficult to talk and eat still. and is the blood still normal? it was a lot more blood yesterday the day of the surgery but now its mostly if i talk to much or rinse my mouth.
please any advice. is this something to worry about? or am i just stressing myself out?

I already use flouride free toothpaste for my little girl, But i was wondering if there is anything else that i should be looking out for? Any other ingredients that are bad?
Thanks :)
Hannah, Thank you so much. I have just done my research on SLS and i cant belive it is used in baby products! I have been using simple baby, thinking there is no unnecessary chemicals & adatives in it, like it says, but it has SLS in it!Thanks :)
