Is any one else obsesive about there teeth?
I spend a lot of money on teeth products,
crest whitening strips, teeth gels, acids, special toothpastes for plaque and whitening, whitelight kits ect
I just care so much about teeth and gums and stuff.. what about you?
well they are important, with out teeth you cannot eat..
i mean i only take care of them because building of plaque can cause gum diseas and i can cause your teeth to losen from the gum and eventually fall out so thats why i worry, thank you very much!!!!!!!!!! :)
Is gingivitis or any other gum disease contagious!?
MY TEETH AND GUMS ARE FINE I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THEM. WHAT IM TRYING TO FIND OUT IS IF I KISS SOMEONE WITH GINGIVITIS.
COULD I GET IT?
uhmm thanks Joann i already know how you get Gengivitis. I asked if it was contagious.
What is the best mouthwash to use?
Which is the best/a great mouthwash to use? I don't mean the ones that just make your mouth smell good after using it, but the mouthwashes that are good for your teeth and gums and overall good oral hygiene?
I currently use Listerine Tartar Control (reads: ANTISEPTIC MOUTHWASH - Kills germs that cause Gingivitis) ,
is there a much better mouthwash? Is ACT a good/better choice to use?
Thanks!
My husband suddenly has bad breath why is this?
He has a doctors appointment coming up. He has sleep apnea could it be a problem with this? He had a sinus infection maybe it didnt clear up either. He went to the dentist, teeth and gums are great. He flosses and uses mouthwash. What and why all of a sudden. He is not sick, nor losing weight.
Electric toothbrush Vs Regular toothbrush. Which do you use and prefer?
Just got my electric toothbrush a few months ago and its amazing!
Before the dentist told me to watch out as my gums were looking a bit unhealthy but since using my electric toothbrush they are back to normal and healthy and my teeth are perfect.
So which do you prefer? Has using an electric toothbrush made a big difference to the health of your teeth and gums?
do i have gingivitis?
i went to my hygienist a couple of weeks ago and she told me that i have early stage gingivitis. but i don't think that i do because my gums aren't red i don't think and my gums or teeth don't bleed when i brush or floss. right now i brush and floss 2 to 3 times a day. i brush for 2 minutes each time using a crest pro spin-brush with sensodyne pronamel toothpaste and i think my teeth and gums have gotten stronger. i have one infection in my filling on top but my dentist doesn't want to extract it yet. it doesn't hurt. do i have a periodontal disease?
can you get rid of it by brushing 3 times a day and flossing?
i have white stuff on a couple of my teeth right above the gumline that i can't get off using floss. how can i remove it and is it plaque?
Do lip piercings or tongue piericngs really damage your teeth?
Coz I've been thinking about getting one or the other and I'm just worried about them doing damage to my teeth and gums.
Anyone with personal experience?
Thanks.
How do you maintain peridontal disease without seeing a dentist?
I will not have dental coverage till Summer time. It's clear my gums are not as healthy as they should be (they bleed when I floss). I noticed a few months ago that the back of my bottom teeth have this white looking junk on them that I can't get off (most likely plaque or tarter build up) but the teeth with the white stuff on them are starting to turn a light brown color. I also noticed by one of my tooths that a small piece of my gum is very puffy and bleeds very easy. The rest of my gums are in good shape but there is just that little section that doesnt look right. I brush 2x a day, floss, and use an antibacterial mouthwash. I even put tea tree oil on that infected part of my gum.
Please don't tell me I need to see a dentist. If I could believe me I would. I have no insurance and can't even afford a co-payment right now.
What can I do to prevent my teeth and gums from getting worse until I can see a dentist in summer time.
Home remedies for teeth whitening really work?
I've heard to get your teeth whiter you can gargle hydrogen peroxide. Also baking soda. Oh yeah and to make your home made tooth paste was mixing hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and a bit of toothpaste. Is this true? Will any of these harm your teeth and gums?
