What is causing my lower right side back pain?
Since early this morning I have been having pain in the lower right side of my back. Right above the hip. Then when I went to use the restroom after I went there was some blood. Then after that I went several times more and there was no blood. Anyone have any clue as to what this can be?

i been the dentist several times, he gave a mouth wash it works for a little while but i stopped using it, and the bad breath comeback. please helppppppppppppppppppppp
Ok people I have chronic bad breath and I wanna get rid of it. How?
Yea I brush my teeth twice a day. I pic my teeth all the time when no ones around. Bad habit but still good for dental hygiene. I use Listerine twice a day. I brush my tongue hard 1-3 times a day and ever time I do it I make sure I did a good job of cleaning it off. (In case someone says the tooth brush dosn't worth. It isn't very good but if your patient and brush the tongue several times in a row with soup and water it eventually gets clean.) Regardless of what I do I can't get rid of my bad breath. It seems to generate in my mouth within 15 minutes as well as plaque buildup on my tounge. I'm starting to thing its genetics. My teeth are a big above average when it some to resistance to tooth decay. I mean I have gotten cavities but its rare and in the past I wasn't very good with my teeth like I would brush one a day or even not at all if I plan on not going out but even then when I go to the dentist the x-ray comes back either clear or with maybe one cavity after 6-10 years. I'm starting to think their is a connection between having my super teeth and bad breath. Maybe the bacteria in my mouth that smell so bad is the same thing thats protecting my teeth from harmful bacteria. So I have super teeth at the price of bad breath. I have no idea but i'm ranting and I just wanna know for to fix my damn breath. BTW I don't smoke, don't drink coffee, I drink a lot of milk and I know milk makes a lot of plaque very fast so I always brush after I drank my fill. I am at wits end.
Is there a way to make the teeth's dentine strong?
My daughter, now in her mid-thirties, use to eat raw lemons and still likes very acid food. This has affected her teeth which are now brittle and starting to crack and split. She practices good oral hygiene and sees the dentist several times a year. Our dentist told her to stop eating acid food and warned her there could be problems as she got older.
Last week a piece of one of her front teeth broke off and needed to be filled. This could happen to other teeth.
How do we improve the health and strength of her teeth?
Can degenerative bone disease really affect a persons teeth?
I have been diagnosed with degenerative bone and disc disease. for years I didn't have any dental problems, even though the dentist told me that I have "soft teeth". For that reason and having braces when i was a teenager, I made it a habit of brushing my teeth several times a day. I will even wake up at night and brush my teeth.
Now, in the past 1 1/2-2 years my teeth will just crumble and eventually some of them have hurt which meant they had to be extracted. The tooth will look healthy. I had a FRONT TOOTH to crumble and fall out WHILE I WAS BRUSHING!
My dentist told me that other than the deteriorating my teeth were healthy. There were no signs of plaque or improper brushing.
I am now 37 years old and I have been diagnosed with the bone and spine disease along with arthritis in my back but does this type of disease affect a persons teeth.
Please serious answers only worth 10 points!
How long for teeth to stop hurting after cleaning? (roots showing)?
I had my teeth cleaned two days ago, and the hygienist noticed that two of my teeth have a little bit of the root showing. Before I went to the dentist they were just a tiny bit sensitive, but since they cleaned them, they hurt every time I eat something hot or cold.
They said it was probably caused by too-vigorous brushing, or maybe by just the way my teeth meet. Anyway, they said my teeth look great, very little plaque. I floss several times a day, and brush pretty much after every meal.
How long till my teeth stop hurting? It's weird to think that the root is showing!
It's not anywhere near that serious, the dentist didn't seem to think it was much of a problem at all. I've heard that teeth are usually sensitive after a cleaning, but for how long?
how do i decrease/eliminate flossing pain?
i have periodontal disease and need to floss several times daily to prevent things from getting worse. unfortunately, flossing is always painful. sometimes the pain is minor, other times it is quite significant. i believe flossing would be easier if it didn't hurt, or at least hurt less. is there anything i can do to relieve or prevent this chronic pain?
Brushing teeth with antibacterial soap instead of toothpaste?
One day the idea came to me that liquid hand soap might actually clean your teeth better since it is soap made to clean things and maybe it would do a better job. I put some of the antibacterial liquid soap I use for handwashing on my electric toothbrush instead of toothpaste and tried brushing with it. It didn't taste good but was tolerable. I did just like I would and brushed my teeth thoughorly and brushed my tongue also like I always do. I rinsed my mouth out several times to make sure I got it all out and my teeth felt very clean, smooth and slick and there was no minty aftertaste, I tasted only pure nothing and my mouth felt extremely clean. Now alot if not most toothpastes advertise how they freshen breath, or freshen breath for so many hours. The soap I used was plain unscented liquid soap, the soap itself had a faint soapy smell didn't have any add perfumes or anything like that so there was no way it could freshen breath or keep it that way. I like to stand very close to a person sometimes when i'm speaking to them and i'm sure they don't want to smell anything even if it's a minty smell from toothpaste and they might wanna back up. I've never had that be an issue though I guess that smell doesn't stick around very long. After using the soap my mouth felt fresh all day and felt like my breath was fresh all day too. I wanted to actually test how fresh my breath actually smelled. This is at least 12 hours later, having not brushed again since or any mouthwash (I NEVER use mouthwash anyway...im not sure the point of it, and i find the smell of it somewhat offense, i'd rather my breath just not smell like anything than like mouthwash - eww) since then so the best time to really see. I did smoke a few cigarettes since then the taste from them left long ago. I hadn't drank anything too recently and decided to test then by using the method where you lick the back of your hand and smell it to see what it smells like. This is supposed to actually work. I licked the back of my hand thoughouly starting as far back as I could slowly ran my tongue across the back of my hand from the back until the tip. Immediatley I smelled my hand which was still wet and didn't smell a damn thing. I let it dry a little and smell and nothing and then again when it had totally dried. I never smelled a damn thing, nothing, at all period. Maybe it smelled like the back of my hand lol the same as the other one. I don't know what its supposed to smell like if you have bad breath not sure what you'd be smelling for but i'm sure if you smell -nothing- it means your breath is fine. My breath seemed to be pretty fine after a long 12 hour period since brushing, at least as good as if I had used my normal toothpaste. So why do toothpastes advertise how they freshen breath this good, or longer than some others. How much longer can you get than over 12 hours? Plain old soap seemed to do at least as good a job preventing bad breath and it's not even designed to do something like that I don't get it. I know my breath never smelled minty cool or any kind of smell but i'd rather prefer my breath not to smell like minty toothpaste and I'm not sure a guy would like to taste that either if he kissed me. If thats the freshness they mean thats not something I would want. It's just adding a strong smell, it may be somewhat pleasant but if you really had bad breath and you added that smell you would still have bad breath that also smelled like toothpaste.
So it seemed to work pretty good, which was my hypothesis or else I wouldn't have tried it. The only questions left are whether its safe to do regularly. Will it hurt my teeth somehow? It doesn't have fluoride either and doesn't whiten but I'm not worried about that my teeth are too white for toothpaste to get any whiter, I'd have to have a dentist do it in order to get them any whiter cuz your teeth are only naturally so white, to get really stark white you have to bleach the hell out of them. It does though kill germs so it probably cleans your teeth and mouth better than toothpaste!
What makes kid's toothpaste different from any other kind?
I am just curious what the difference is. There seem to be better flavors in the kids version, however, is it weaker strength than regular toothpaste. As a person who wears braces I have to brush my teeth several times a day, and it gets boring only having mint or cinammon.
