Dentist said my broken tooth could be filled a month later. Its yellow where it broke off. b/c of no enamel?
I was wondering if my tooth is really yellow on the inside of where it broke off because it has no enamel (protection) like the outside of all my other teeth. The whole tooth is not yellow, just the center of where it is broken. The dentist said i could wait a month and still get it filled while i wait to save for the procedure. I just want to make sure that i can get this taken care of next week and not need to pay for another Xray and find out it needs to be extracted. D:
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks. :)
DENTIST HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Ok as much as I HATE the dentist I need a cleaning. Its been 8 months since my last one so I am a little late. I am so scared of them. I only go in, get my teeth polished and the plague scraped off and then I leave. I don't like the xrays because I gag and they pinch and I don't get the fluoride because I gag and it tastes gross. I brush my teeth twice a day, floss, use my water pick, AND I use fluoride. My dad says I need to get both done at the denists soon but wouldn't I be able to feel the cavities? Why would I need a xray because people tell me cavities hurt! And I dont think I need floride because I take very good care of my teeth at home. My wisdom teeth are coming in( i am 16 btw) and I cant tell if they are coming in normally or not. I had xrays taken at my orthos a while ago and they said they were coming in fine. Should I get xrays at the dentists just in case? Would they use the xrays they stick in your mouth or the one that you bite the tip of and it spins around your head? Please awnser me I am so scared! I hate dentists and I always have. I have gotten in trouble by mine so many times for pulling hands out of my mouth because of gagging, and shutting my mouth and not letting them back in. When I was 4 I got kicked out for crying.
Dentist appointment and checkup after braces off?
I had braces for 2 years and got them off about 2 months ago. I went to the dentist every 6 months for a checkup but didn't have x-rays because they said they couldn't do an xray through metal. I have heard about people getting many cavities after braces, is this true? I brushed and flossed my teeth but I heard it's harder to clean all the plaque when you had braces.
thanks!
dental advice…please help.?
I'm going on my THIRD TIME having a tooth abscess. This time around, my tooth is completely fine. There is no cavity on it or anything, but im having horrible pain. My dentist looked at the xray and determined that it was a perio abscess...and said there is something wrong with my bone?
My question is, why would I keep having reoccurring abscesses? I brush my teeth 3-4 times a day, floss, and I rinse with Listerine fluoride. Is there anything I can do to prevent having so many dental problems? I really can't afford it. I only seem to have problems with my bottom teeth, usually the molars.(not that i have many bottom molars left, ive gotten alot pulled).
Please help...:|
Toothache? All advice welcome!?
Recently I had discomfort in a filled back molar ( I had missed checkups for some 18 months ) and the dentist made a temporary filling and then properly filled the tooth. She took an Xray at the same time which suggested that there was plenty of healthy tooth above the nerve. But since the filling, the tooth has become ultra sensitive and reacts with pain to any food or liquid. Even if I place a blob of Sensodyne toothpaste directly on the tooth, it hurts for a period. I also get some transient pain in other teeth although that is fleeting. Even inhaling cold air past the tooth seems to affect it. It means that drinking and eating are spoiled by this pain. I have agreed with the dentist to see if it settles down ( I am aware that oral treatment can disturb the pulp for up to a month say ) but it is not looking good. Someone suggested an exposed nerve due to receding gums and I should try 'Tooth Mousse' which I am told is an intensive fluoride paste and see if that helps. Can anyone please give me some advice here .... and why should a blob of toothpaste directly onto the top of the tooth cause the pain? All advice appreciated .... thanks
Is it possible to fill exposed dentine in teeth causing severe pain?
Please help. I am a London girl with a big tooth problem.
I have pain in 5 teeth on the bottom left hand jaw.
There is a small amount of bone loss and my gums have receded approx 1-2 millimetres on this side. The dentine is exposed on the back and sides at gum level.
The problem is not much but the pain is unbearable.
I remember being worried when it started that it would turn into something else. I used to get one or two sharp pains but I found a lump of sensodyne did the trick. I also used a gum disease treatment and regular fluoride mouthwash. I had no pain for year. Then it came back except this time it was really bad. The sensitive areas of the teeth that normally might be sensitive to hot or cold were so painful you could compare it to having your nails ripped out and being burnt by cigarettes or stung by a bee. When it goes off like this, I also get pain in my jaw, cheek, lips, and echo pain in my ear and eye.
It is not a neurological problem but the neuralgia is a side effect when it gets bad.
I have underlying toothache between the teeth that kind of tingles and throbs. I don't always feel it because the areas between the teeth are covered up by gums so it comes and goes.
The problem is in the awkard to reach area between the teeth just under gum level. The pain is actually in the teeth, not in the gums.
If I put a toothpick in between and pushed it down slightly it would set me off for several days in total pain.
.
When this happens I take heavy drugs - there is nothing I won't take except for heroine & crack. The worst drug is tegretol but this works the best. I have to take large doses to have any effect. If I take enough it leaves me with just a low level bearable toothache.
I can't stand drugs of any kind and need to do something urgently
I saw 5 dentists and couldn't get past the xray. They didn't see any big holes and that was the end of it. They didn't have any patience or willingness to investigate. One took me seriously and offered to help. He tried desensitisation solution but this does not appear to be working. Also gum gel which hardens with saliva. This works for 24 hours.
He told me he can't do fillings because he can't see where to drill and he would have to drill holes that may cause more pain.
He said it's not possible to fill the exposed dentine area.
The final solution is to kill my teeth one by one followed by root canals.
This would mean killing all my teeth on the bottom left hand side.
I can't believe this. there must be some kind of light cement type stuff that you can bond to the teeth without having to drill holes that gets into the root area just under the head of the tooth.
If the area is covered up I don't get pain. This is why the gum gel works. I can't believe I need to get advanced tooth decay before the problem can be fixed.
Has anyone had this problem and had it fixed?
Or perhaps there is a specialist type of dentist I need to find out about.
I am willing to do anything to fix it.
