Is it okay to drink water after brushing teeth?
I just brushed my teeth with a fluoride toothpaste, then used mouthwash, and put a fluoride treatment on my teeth. But, I'm extremely thirsty, so is it okay to have a glass of ice water? Or should I wait about 30 minutes? Thanks for the help!
Braces Help? Any suggestions are very appreciated.?
I've had braces since November 2010, & I'm very conscious about them and I have a few questions... Any & all answers are greatly appreciated.
1) How do I get really white teeth while having braces? I went to get my normal cleaning from my dentist, & she said I was doing the best job cleaning around the brackets that she's seen in a while. But even though mom said my brackets were shiny & my teeth were whiter, I didn't think they looked any better. I'm very self conscious about the color of them & I feel they could be whiter...
2) Do I HAVE to use the fluoride toothpaste stuff my orthodontist gave me? It says I have to brush my teeth for EXACTLY a minute, & I can't eat, drink, swallow, or spit it out for 30 minutes, then I have to rinse it off. Is there any alternative I can use? Because I use it, but I feel it takes way to much time & if there's an alternative that's just as good, I'd be more than happy to use it.
3) I'm paranoid about having white spots after I get them taken off, is there anyway to prevent that from happening?
I know this is somewhat lengthy, & I want to thank everyone who took there time to read this & help me.

Is there toothpaste for periodontitis?
I have severe periodontitis. I am having significant bone loss and weakening of tooth. Fluoride toothpaste does no good for periodontitis. It may be anti fluoride but offers zero protection against progressing periodontitis. Please let me know if there is any anti-periodontitis toothpaste? Don't just say "anti-fluoride colgate or crest" because that's clearly a lie
correction: "anti cavity" not anti fluoride
Will toothpaste mess up pimple?

I have a question about toothpaste with fluoride vs toothpaste with no fluoride?
I hear people say that fluoride is bad but most dentist tell me that fluoride is needed to help prevent cavities. I've also had dentist tell me that fluoride is bad for you. I tried organic toothpaste once and at first the taste was awful but I got use to it. After having a dentist tell me I needed to use toothpaste with fluoride I switched back to regular. I had become use to the taste of organic and the regular toothpaste tasted so sugary that I would prefer going back to organic. SO the question is fluoride needed or not? I don't want to go back to organic and have my teeth rot out from not using fluoride toothpaste. You may think I am making or thinking to much about toothpaste but I am just curious as to what you think because I would really like to stick with organic if it's not going to harm my teeth, because I care a lot about my teeth and want them to last until I am at least 70. So thank for taking the time to read and answer my question it's much appreciated :)
sensitive tooth but periodondist can't find anything?
What causes a sensitive tooth when both the dentist and the periodondist can't find a problem. I have osteoporosis and stopped taking medication about a year ago. No teeth are loose, no cavities, but I have lost some jaw bone. I've been treated with fluoride toothpaste and rinse for about 2 months but no real results.
