Are my teeth REALLY yellow?
I pulled off never brushing my teeth when I was 7,8,9 . I brush now (Im 14) regularaly but I think they are stained. I didnt brush today, or yesterday. But dont worry I brushed the day before that. So are they like super plaque and yellow gunk and stuff?

Umm the lighting makes my teeth look whiter in pictures. They look way worse than that in my families opinion, of coarse.
How come when I floss between a certain two tooths, the floss smells?
How come when I floss between a certain two tooths, the floss smells really bad. It just started happening recently, and also I would always get red gunk on it. It's really disgusting, how to get rid of it. This happened many times starting last week.
Ps: I wear braces since last year.

Edit: yes i use listerine, but now i use the less harsh vanilla listerine, maybe i should switch back. and lol when i floss it smells soooo bad, someone in the same room can smell it, my breath isn't bad though. I'm going to see my orthordontist soon, what should i ask him? :"i have an infection, what should i do?"
how sick can someone get if their toothbrush fell inside of the toilet?
say the toilet was only cleaned with bleach maybe every month, no other cleaning was done to the toilet and the toothe brush fell inside of it, but on its way in touched some gunk arround the water line.... how sick can one get from that... if they used the toothbrush after?
How to floss teeth without getting it all over the mirror?
I floss while looking in the mirror, and no matter how I do it, I always get bits of food and gunk all over the mirror. Does this happen to you? Am I doing something wrong? Also, I hate handling the stinky stuff with my fingers. Is that avoidable while using dental floss?
Won't I get bits of food all over the place (ie. on the floor, on the table, on people) regardless of where I stand?
How soon can I brush my teeth after getting a dental filling?
I had three cavities in my top front teeth that I had filled yesterday around 4:00. I don't know what kind of fillings they are, but now my teeth feel disgusting, like major plaque build-up. Earlier, I tried to scratch some off, but it just feels likes it stuck to my tooth. Or that it IS my tooth filed down in layers. This gunk is even in between my teeth, can I floss (and brush) yet? If you submit an answer, please let me know your source and dental experience, if any. Thanks in advance.
How do you get rid of the gunk on your retainer?
My retainer has yellowish hard gunk on it and I have tried everything to get it off. I have used the efferdent in warm water for 15 minutes and scrubbed it with my toothbrush under warm water for about 3 weeks now and it is still there. I have even used a waterpick and nothing seems to be working. I need to get it off fast because I have an orthodontist appointment in 3 days and I dont want to get chewed out by my doctor. Please help and tell me if I am doing something wrong and if I need to use anyother methods.
