What is this white stuff on my teeth? It was never there before?
I got braces like 5-ish months ago, and before my braces it was never there.
Theres this hard off-white stuff around the bottom of some of my teeth.
Like, where they touch the gums.
It doesn't brush off. But I can kinda scrape it off?
IT IS NOT THE GLUE. I'm 100% sure of that.
I know not brushing your teeth could probably cause this, but i'm 99% sure it's not from that.
I brush them 3 times a day, use mouthwash twice and floss once a day.
So it's not plaque either.
What is it and how can I make it go away?
I use a little pipe-cleaner like brush and brush under the wire in between all the teeth too.
My braces won't stay glued to my teeth. Alternative for massive problems?
I've had my braces on for about 2 weeks now. And about 8 brackets have popped off in total because they won't stay glued to my teeth. Apparently I have an awkward tooth enamel, so the glue doesn't stick.
My top teeth are very spaced out, so I don't know what else could fix these problems beside braces. What are some good alternatives to braces?
What can I do if I am unable to floss due to dental treatment?
Hello! I had a front lower tooth coated with filling today and now some of the bonding material is between my teeth. I am unable to floss in between my teeth now what should I do? Can I buy a metal pick and try to scrape the glue out or what? Is the glue going to eventually loosen up on it's own? What do I need to do?
Do I still floss with braces when there's still glue between my teeth?
I already know how to floss with braces on, but there is still glue between my teeth. When I try to floss, it hurts a lot and I can see some of the glue between them tearing apart.
Do I still go on with flossing even though it hurts?
