I had 2 impacted wisdom teeth removed. This pain just started 2 days ago. It hurts more when I eat something a little harder, im still eating soft foods though.

I had a tooth pulled on the 2nd and everything is fine. And I have a white area that is surronding my tooth extraction site which is normal. I was told that i should not touch this area with my tongue or finger.I was wondering if anyone knew why?

Hi,

Yesterday I had a lollypop, one of those sour ones with bubblegum in the middle. Since then, my 2 front teeth are really sensitive and it sucks. I have to go to the dentist in 2 days and I really hate it when she has to work on my mouth. I can tell you that I’m not a frequent teethbrusher, I often forget or I am too lazy, now does this mean she has to work on my teeth or will she just prescribe something?

I recently got braces put on about two days ago, and my teeth are incredibly sensitive and in pain. I can’t even bite down on anything, and have only been drinking liquids and avoiding anything I have to chew. Even the slightest touch such as touching the surface, brushing, etc hurts. My gums also look very pale, but I’m not sure if that has anything to do with this. Is this normal? When if ever does the pain go away? Any help would be appreciated!

I’m unhappy with almost every aspect of my body:

My height (5′9.5")
My eyes (Hazel)
Hair (receding)
pale skin that I have to go and risk cancer tanning it
receding gumline
I do like straight teeth tho

I can’t afford a mouth guard from the dentist. The one I got from the pharmacy falls out on occasion and I wake up from debilitating migraines from grinding my teeth.
If I see the dentist is there anything that can be done for me even tho I absolutly cannot afford a new mouth guard?
Perhaps muscle relaxors?

What is the best teeth whitening toothpaste?

I have somewhat white teeth but they could be better. I want to know what is the best toothpaste that makes your teeth whiter. What I am using now doesn’t do much for me. It is " Crest Whitening Expressions". I have been using it for months now and nothing has changed. I brush my teeth twice a day and still, nothing.

So what is the best toothpaste for whitening teeth. Also is there anything else I can do to make them whiter. Use mouthwash or what?

Thanks.

I don’t plan on brushing my teeth with straight baking soda since it could be too harsh but just luke warm water and these products. I have receeded gums due to having braces for several years and i brush too high on my gumline so plague gets trapped after brushing and flossing.
