HOW CAN I MAKE MY TEETH WHITE?
i brush my teeth 3 times a day with a toothpaste and they are still kinda yellow :/ and i cant afford going to the dentist cause its too expensive..so can someone tell me how can i make my teeth white?
Do you have to get the fluoride treatment at the dentist?
Or is it secretly an option that they don't tell me about because they want more money? Honestly, I have an extreme sensitivity to taste and smell, so going to the dentist can be difficult for me. Mint is extremely irritating and most other flavors they use I can't help but gag.
My teeth are supposedly in excellent shape according to my last visit 6 months ago. I use Squigle toothpaste.
When the time comes where I have to do the fluoride thing, it is literally torture. I admit I am embarrassed by this and it can be humiliating because the dentist might poke fun or give me a hard time about it. So, can I decline next time I go? Or is it really that necessary?
Blood coagulating after dental cleaning?
I went in for a dental cleaning about 3 days ago. Apparently there was a some thick plaque under my gums so the doctor went in between the tooth and gums to remove it. After the procedure, my gums were swollen and a little bloody. Doctor said it was normal and the swelling was going to go down after about 12-24 hours.
It's now been 3 days and my gums are fine EXCEPT for around one tooth.
It never stops bleeding and in the morning when i wake up there is a cap of coagulated blood around my tooth. It feels like there is a jelly bean around my tooth. Whenever I spit it out, more blood gushes out.
Anyone know how to stop this? I'm going to the dentist tomorrow (Monday) but I need to do something today.
Thanks
How can I get rid of pain due to inflamed gums?
When I eat, talk or swallow or just move my tongue around in my mouth, the gums on the left side of my mouth towards the back are VERY IRRITATED and painful. I have tried Aleve (aspirin) and Ibuprofen. I even gently brush my teeth and I gently run the toothbrush over the inflamed gums. I want to know what I can do to get rid of the pain and get the puffiness to disappear without going to the dentist. HELP!!!
2 questions: do I have gingivitis and how bad does my case of it sound if i do have it?
My gums DO NOT not ever time I brush my teeth, but only when I'm not gentle (in a rush sometimes) it bleeds just a little bit and i just rinse my mouth and it stops- and it's usually only around the same tooth every time it bleeds, which like i said, is not every time i brush them. I brush my teeth twice a day and have never had a cavity. I'm going to the dentist today so if I get no answers on this I guess I'll just find out then. And please no answers like "See what the dentist says"
@Roxy what do you mean some time????? you are confusing me
Is it gingivitis, or what?
Running around the inner gum on my bottom set of teeth I have a depression, ridged on either side. It runs around the level where the tooth meets the root. My gums bleed occasionally, when I brush vigorously, and my teeth move a tiny amount when pressed, but I do not appear to have receeding gums, and my breath isn't at all fowl.
Really, the only symptom is this ridge in my gums. It appeared over night, and has lasted for around a month, with no change...
I'm going to the dentist in 4 months. Should I make an urgent appointment. I have almost no money, so im reluctant. What do you think this is?
Im an 18 year old boy, from a 'health food' crazy family, and lead a pretty active lifestyle. I also brush regularly. Although, I do have post-strep arthritis.
What could be wrong with my gum?
I have a crown, and above it the gum is swollen. Just above this crown and no where else.
I brush my teeth and use mouth wash in the morning.
In the middle of the day, after I eat, I will brush and use mouthwash and use a salt with water rinse.
Before I go to sleep, I brush, floss, and use a fluoride mouth wash.
What could I be doing wrong? What could be wrong? I am going to the dentist this week.
How long does it for for symptoms, like tooth enamel erosion, from bulimia to go away?
mmkay brace urselves for this....i'm 15 almost 16 and i had bulimia for about 6 months (i purged maybe 6 times a week on avg. . i felt pressured to fit it size 3 jeans and went with it. it worked. but i hated what i was doing. so this past november i promised myself i'd NEVER purge again. i got support from online groups, and so far i've been clean for a little over 3 months. i haven't told any of my family or friends about my problem because i'm too ashamed too. :( ...(i've done my best to keep it a secret from them)....my face isn't swollen anymore and my hands don't show any signs of it. but i have no clue how my throat looks, or the condition of my tooth enamel. have a cavity or two...but the thing is, that i never use to gets cavities and i had really good enamel. but now it's softer and a little sensitive. my teeth don't have discoloration....but i have a dentist app. coming up soon and will she know? i'm sure i could pass off with acid erosion from citrus fruits, vinegar or soda, but is there anything i can do to help my teeth? i REALLY don't want to explain this to my dentist, and especially my parents! that can't happen it would only make things worse! i have to go to my app. if i beg not to my parents might think something's up, cause i've always liked going to the dentist. what do i do? are there any products or at home remedies to help my teeth get stronger?
PLEASE:
~no responses like "u shouldn't have done that in the first place". i'm quite aware already. :(
~don't be negative.
~answers from people who know about this would be awesome.
~please help! (otherwise i might as well be screwed...)
