Lines in teeth?!! PLEASE HELP?
I was away camping last week at a campground and while brushing my teeth one night I noticed a whitish, almost clear line in my bottom middle tooth. It's towards the top of my tooth, not near the gum line. It is with my acid erosion but is more down into the tooth. It doesn't hurt but it's scaring me. That came day I brushed my teeth fairly hard because someone had said they were noticing plaque in my teeth so I scratched it off with my tooth brush. I suffer from paranoia so it made me panic and my mouth hurt and everything but when my mind was on something else it didn't hurt, with my condition that means that it doesn't actually hurt, I just think it does. When I shine a light on it, there's a line the whole way down my tooth that looks like a crack but definitely isn't because I can't feel it no matter how hard I try.
Last night after arriving home I noticed that there was a tiny tiny line like the other one on a tooth 2 teeth away. This morning after getting up my gums feel swollen but I can't determine if they are or aren't because they do not look swollen, just feel it, and this may just be my paranoia.
I am going to make an appointment with a dentist, however I am TERRIFIED of the dentist and the thought of it makes me shake, I will go, I know I have to, but an idea of what is wrong would really help. I refuse to chew on those teeth because I am scared that it will make them worse. The lines aren't chalky, they look like thick pieces of acid erosion, but in the middle of my teeth, with no other erosion immediately surrounding it.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!
how can i break this habit of not brushing my teeth?
so i deveoloped a reallybad nasty habit of not brushing my teeth.

Worst Canker/cold sores ever, I've tried everything but it doesn't do anything?
I have 3 canker sores on my bottom lip, all in the same spot (it looks like it forms a triangle).
It hurts so bad, it brushes up on my teeth and it stings, it looks like I have this huge piercing in my lip.
I've tried everything from...
Salt (it just hurts like heck and makes it bleed a little), to sore medication (it numbs it, but never stays on), to ice, to mouth wash, and tums to cut down on the acidity in my stomach... and it just doesn't do anything. I stopped brushing my teeth cause I heard that SLS causes canker sores.
but that's not even how I got it... After school, I took a nap on accident, and when I woke up, i had these horrible sores on my lip. This was about a week ago.
I also heard it's caused by a vitamin deficiency.. but I take a multivitamin and i get most of my vitamins.

Why does toothpaste burn your mouth when you use it?
I was just brushing my teeth when I paused and realized that my mouth was burning. It happens every time I brush my teeth, but I never really realized why. So why does your mouth burn? What causes this?
Thanks :]
Toothpaste bottle Invention Idea?
So I was brushing my teeth the other day and I reached in the cabinet to get the toothpaste and i thought wouldn't it be easier if the toothpaste came in a standing up bottle like soap so all you had to do is push down on the pump and shazam out comes toothpaste. It would allow for easy one had toothpaste access. Just and idea but tell me your thoughts.
