Is there surgery for the teeth that makes them perfect?

Posted on September 4, 2010

I heard around that some people got surgery to make their teeth perfect and i was wondering, do they reshape your teeth with like drills and stuff or do they take out all your teeth and implant new ones? Whats the surgery process like and what do they do to your teeth? And how much does it cost? And are there any risk factors involved in it?

Im mainly asking because i like my teeth but i want really nice teeth to fit a good smile and i have lots of cavities in my teeth because i used to have a major sweet tooth when i was younger and the cavities stuck with me and i have a bit of hardened plaque at the top of my front teeth that i cant seem to get rid of. I think i got it because i used to drink soda ( which was MANY years ago back when i was like 10 ) but now i only drink soda on occasion and i drink mostly water and i rarely eat candies so they havent grown into cavities. But saying on topic, can anyone tell me about the dental procedure and what its like?

my tooth are hurting but no dental insurance what do i do?

Hi there, I have a question regarding candy and tooth decay. Firstly, I floss, and use ACT Fluoride Mouthwash at night. I rinse out my mouth and brush my tongue after every meal, and brush teeth morning and night.

If I eat candy only once on any given day, and make sure it's candy that doesn't stick to the teeth, like Trolli Gummi Candy products which mainly consists of non stick candy, and rinse out my mouth afterwards. Would I be facing any Tooth Decay.

I normally eat candy for 5 to 13 minutes, knowing that acid from it will last in the mouth for an extended 20 minutes or so.

Can candies like Skittles cause more damage ?

Thanks, I have a sweet tooth from my grand parents.
Thanks, I do use a Mirror to see if any food chunks or candy remains, I swish a few times with warm water, and most of the time try to avoid candy that would stick to the teeth.
Thanks for the good advice
