canker sores on the back of my tongue

Posted on April 21, 2011

I'm a college student but for my summer session, I'm living off campus and cooking myself. I haven't been eating healthy and usually when I do that, I develop these canker sores in my mouth that are extremely painful. Recently, I tried fixing my diet a little and it's still not helping and to make it worse, the canker sores are at the very back of my tongue, where all the nerves are. I don't even want to eat food much anymore because it hurts to swallow and it hurts to move my tongue. I don't know why I'm getting them so often. Is there something wrong with me? Is it because I haven't been taking my fish oil and vitamin C recently? I'm getting a little scared and to exacerbate situations, I have an extremely high metabolism so if I don't eat vast amounts of food, I drop weight like crazy. :( It took a lot of help with my boyfriend buying me a crap load of food and me stuffing myself to get to 98 pounds and now I'll lose it with the canker sore problem. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do to get rid of them? They really hurt to the point where it's affecting my sleep a little.
.................

I don't do those nasty disgusting things so no..it's not herpes. wtf.
By the way, herpes doesn't have anything to do with canker sores. v_v; Lets not be...stupid.
Hi, thanks a lot. I looked up the symptoms for strep throat and I have a lot of them. T_T I shouldn't be kissing my boyfriend then, right? lol >_<

How to keep gingivitis bacteria low with major tooth decay, during pregnancy to avoid preterm labor?

Posted on January 18, 2011

Gingivitis, tooth decay, gum disease, the bacterias from these diseases/ conditions are known for causing pre-term labor and low birth weight babies. I want my child to be healthy, I also want to stop the pain in my mouth/ teeth. I dont have dental insurance, but I will be going to the dentist within 1 month to get some help. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to keep these bacterias at bay, so that they do not cause harm to my unborn child? I can not floss, due to tooth decay near the gums of my teeth, the floss just gets stuck and I have a hard time getting it back out, there is no way for me to floss with dental floss. I have tried to use the water pic to floss, this used to work, but I have a couple exposed nerves and it hurts so bad when the water pic sends water hitting into the nerve. I have covered most of the exposed nerves with temorin, over the counter temporary cavity filler. I think I will try to use the water pic again now that the nerves are not so exposed. Other than this what can keep these bacterias from going crazy and causing more harm? Gargling salt water? Listerine? Brushing 2 times a day. What else can I do? Thanks in advance, best wishes to you all, and God bless you.

Tooth pain from grinding? HELP!?

Posted on December 7, 2010

Tuesday morning I woke up with a very slightly chipped bottom front tooth, which was sensitive to hot/cold, etc. I could tell some of my top front tooth was chipped as well. I went into the dentist that morning, had x-rays taken and the teeth looked at. At the time, my top front tooth did not hurt at all. However, the dental hygenist started pushing at it and poking at it and it THEN started hurting.

The dentist said that my xrays were fine and there wasn't any reason to bond or put a crown on my tooth because no nerves were exposed. Basically, he said that everything would be fine, but he prescribed me some fluoride toothpaste to ease the tooth sensitivity and improve my teeth's enamel since I grind my teeth.

Ever since that visit my top front tooth has hurt pretty much nonstop. It doesn't hurt bad enough to keep me from going to sleep at night and when I first wake up in the morning it doesn't hurt! But as the day progesses it begins to hurt more and more!

I've called the dentist back and they encouraged me to take Advil, or the equivalent, for pain as needed. They said if it still hurt in a week to call them back because I might need to be seen by a specialist.

Well next week is Thanksgiving and I'm going to be out of town so I'm desperately seeking some clarification as to WHAT this could be! The pain is a dull ache, on or in, my front tooth. At it's worst it feels slightly searing. It does NOT effect my gums at all. I can eat just fine, but I am avoiding that area.

Please help!

Does anyone else wonder why famous people have always had flawless teeth, when they are just as susceptible?

Posted on November 28, 2010

as anyone to enamel erosion, dying nerves, and other dental problems which aren't caused by lack of brushing

for example, I can think of a dozen Hollywood stars who indulged in drugs and alcohol daily, which wouldn't have left them with much time to worry about their teeth, but their teeth were always pearly white throughout their lives

What is the best teeth whitening product?

Posted on October 10, 2010

I have tried using various white strips (the old crest white strips, listerine, and colgate supreme) and a couple whitening trays but with everyone after the first treatment my teeth become sensitive and on the second i get VERY painful shocks in my teeth which i think is from the nerves. I dont know what the problem is but i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. P.S. i use sensodyne religiously and it works great just not when i try to whiten my teeth.
