How to keep gingivitis bacteria low with major tooth decay, during pregnancy to avoid preterm labor?
Gingivitis, tooth decay, gum disease, the bacterias from these diseases/ conditions are known for causing pre-term labor and low birth weight babies. I want my child to be healthy, I also want to stop the pain in my mouth/ teeth. I dont have dental insurance, but I will be going to the dentist within 1 month to get some help. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to keep these bacterias at bay, so that they do not cause harm to my unborn child? I can not floss, due to tooth decay near the gums of my teeth, the floss just gets stuck and I have a hard time getting it back out, there is no way for me to floss with dental floss. I have tried to use the water pic to floss, this used to work, but I have a couple exposed nerves and it hurts so bad when the water pic sends water hitting into the nerve. I have covered most of the exposed nerves with temorin, over the counter temporary cavity filler. I think I will try to use the water pic again now that the nerves are not so exposed. Other than this what can keep these bacterias from going crazy and causing more harm? Gargling salt water? Listerine? Brushing 2 times a day. What else can I do? Thanks in advance, best wishes to you all, and God bless you.
How do I know if my bad tooth is causing bad breath?
I'm concerned about offending co-workers; I've told my boss and she's agreed to tell me if anyone complains. I just don't want it to happen; I'd be so embarrassed. I've been out of work for a long time, have no dental insurance, and am saving money up to get it fixed. But, it's going to take time.

Home remedies for teeth whitening?
I am very self conscious about my teeth especially. I have a stain that comes and goes since I was a kid. I want it gone. I don't have any dental insurance so I was wondering if anyone knew any good home remedies for teeth whitening? Nothing that has to do with strawberries please. A lot of people already told me that it messes up your enamel because there's too much sugar in it. Thank you in advance!
What can I do for sensitivity at the gumline?
I have a couple of teeth that if my toothbrush hits where the tooth meets the gum, its extremely painful!!! I went to the dentist last spring who said I have no cavities and he was puzzled at the sensitivity. Well it really hurts to brush my teeth and I have no dental insurance anymore
What should I do??
I have bad breath. my tongue clings to the roof of my mouth?
my tongue always sticked to the roof of my mouth, which i think is the cause of my bad breath since my tongue is always covered, so what do i do? my tongue never comes down! i tried relaxing my mouth, but i guess i'm a naturally tense person because it goes right back up!
i try all of that, but since my tongue clings to the roof of my mouth, i get bad breath all over again!
i dont have dental insurance so i can't afford that. this sucks.
Need advice on a dental issue?
Hi all,
I have an issue with my lower front tooth incisor. It's tiny bit mobile with root exposure. I'm 23 years old and went to the denist yesterday for my 6 month check up and cleaning.
My hygienist told my I do an excellent job of flossing/brushing as there is hardly any plaque or tartar on/in mymouth. But I asked her to check on this incisor as I could feel something just wasn't right.
She toot an xray and did an examination and said it was indeed SLIGHTLY mobile and the xray showed a little bit of bone loss. She said I DIDNT have periodontal d or gingivitis. She said if I were 50 she wouldn't even cosider referring me to a periodontist but since im only 23 it's odd.
So she gave me the card to a local specialist and than my dentist came in and the hygienist told my dentist about this sistuation he looked at the xray and sounded a little annoyed with her and proceeded to tell me this is just because I have short roots. My question is........ I do not have the best dental insurance it wll not cover specialist. If I wait 6 months to consult with this specialist about this tooth is the thing going to fall out of my mouth LOL? Help!
Dentist denying forwarding my records/x-rays due to unpaid bill?
When I lived in Seattle, I saw a dentist once, and his son (also a dentist with his own practice) twice. Once for routine, again when I was sure I had a cavity, and again when the tooth with the cavity had pain.
I was told it was not a cavity, and that it was "just decay" and that they would "put a watch on it." Now, my insurance was giving them hell about paying, even though I had full dental insurance. They had to resubmit for each visit many times. The last time, though I was still covered and verified this with insurance, the office claims insurance denied the claim, and that I owe them 0. I have not paid this due to current financial strain. (You know, keeping electricity and water on.)
Anyway, just recently, this tooth I was having issue with BROKE. Now, I take insanely good care of my teeth, to the point of where strangers compliment my 'beautiful smile.'
Now that I'm back in Massachusetts, I went to my family dentist, who's great, the day after the tooth broke, and was told I needed a root canal and a crown. :( Cue a bill of almost ,000.
My dentist wants those x-rays and records. *I* want those X-rays and records because if this was caused by negligence on their part, of their not finding an obvious cavity and ignoring my pleas for help and a filling...I will be getting an attorney to insure these dental bills are compensated. :(
So my major question is, do they legally have the right to deny me access to my dental records due to a bill being unpaid? I *was* insured and do not know why the insurance was denied (we had separate dental, not just supplemental) for a routine checkup.
I thought that under the Freedom of Information Act, any records they had on me could be obtained at any time, regardless of financial standing, since this impacts my oral health, and so, overall health.
Any help would be appreciated, and sorry for the long-windedness; I just wanted to cover all bases.
