Does anybody have any cures/prevention for canker sores?
Ever since I had braces when i was a kid, I get canker sores. You know those big, painful, 7 to 10 day lasting sores. My grandmother gets them too and she had them her whole life until she found a mouthwash called Prevention. I finally started using it religiously and sure enough, now I am free of canker sores!!!! I'm not selling the stuff or anything like that. I just wanted to let everyone know that it could work for them.

Im only 21 and so its better to start young. I want a long, happy and healthy life.
Any thoughts on what a dentist might suggest for my mom?
My mom has been drinking coca cola on and off since I can remember (I'm now 27). Over the time, she hasn't taken care of her teeth and has a lot of bad teeth with black cavities/rot on them. She said today that for a while, her front bottom teeth have been kind of loose. Today she was eating a sandwich and one fell out. She's finally going to go to a dentist, but I'm not sure what they can really do for her. I know they can help improve some tooth decay conditions under the gum and such. She said the tooth that came out had a lot of plaque behind it.
She's scared at the same time that the dentist is going to want to pull all of her teeth and want her to get false teeth. I've tried and tried and told her and told her over and over and over again...take enough calcium each day, drink more water and leave the cokes alone. Her and my grandmother area addicted to them. My grandmother drinks so many that she literally doesn't drink any water at all some days. However, my grandmother has partial fase teeth anyway...so her cop-out answer (like everything in life that she said the same thing for) was "oh well, it will fix itself."
I know there are some periodontal diseases that can cause tooth loosening and such. I myself am worried about two of my own very front bottom teeth, which have indications of tooth decay. I do not drink many sodas, but do tend to drink a lot of juice. I myself will have to go to the dentist when I get some insurance, and get braces on top and bottom, have a couple of wisdom teeth completely removed due to cavities, etc.
My mom currently has some type of insurance. Should she just go to a regular dentist, or some other kind of specialist in the dental field?
Do I need my tooth pulled?
My molar on my left & right side had horrible cavities when I was younger. So my Grandmother & aunt had them filled. But for some reason they weren't good enough and I remember when I was in 3rd grade I ate a piece of that really hard, store bought popcorn and it pushed up my filling on my left side and I couldn't eat on it for years (I still won't eat on that side because of the pain). Now a few years ago, I guess it just deteriorated on my right side because there is a big black cavity on my right & left side. Also about in the middle of sixth grade (about 2 years ago.) some of my adult started growing in my my left side on the bottom. Now my baby teeth are stuck and literally falling apart. (there is two.) Anyways, the new teeth are pushing them away, but they just won't fall out. I've tried wiggling them but they hurt to much when I touch them. I would say a few months ago, a part of one of those teeth fell apart and fell out. They don't have cavities but I think they have acid erosion. Anyways, recently about a week ago, my left side of my mouth had been causing me major pain. It's sometimes like I can feel my heart throbbing in my tooth it hurts. I would say I think Tuesday, I was crying my eyes out and I fell down on the floor and I was spitting in the sink it hurt so bad. My aunt has been giving me percocets for the pain. She's afraid to give them to me, but I absolutely need them. The pain inturrupts my life and causes me to not be able to do things I need or want to do. Like when it hurts to much, I can't and won't even talk it hurts so much. And I spent the night at a friends house last night, but I had to leave early the pain was too much. I went to the dentist a few years ago and they said I would need a root canal. But thing is, A root canal isn't going to do anything. I WANT THAT BITCH PULLED OUT. It hurts way too much. And also I would probably need my right molar pulled out and also those two bottom teeth that won't come out. But I don't have insurance what so ever, so I'm not sure if I can keep living on percocets until I do because I don't have the money. Which would be cheaper, and less painful, and better for me in the longrun? A root canal or just get it pulled? Or is there something I might be able to do? Help!
