I was raised using artificial sweeteners when I drink tea, and I still use them to this day. Do they decay your teeth faster than regular sugar?

I really want to get laser teeth whitening for graduation, but i have been using crest whitestrips and i haven’t noticed much of a difference- whether it be because they arent working or I just can’t tell because i use it on all of my teeth. If it really is the best, then does it hurt?

Receding gum?

Hi I have noticed for a while now that the gumline on my right canine has receded a little. I am 19 and I have never had cavities, root canals, or any serious gum or tooth problems in my life. I wear a retainer off and on, although i suspect that it might not be as symmetrical as it should be. Any ideas?

Can you make a bridge from an implant tooth ?

I am missing too many teeth on the lower side ( 2 molars on the left , 2 molars+one premolar on the right ) can’t afford to put 5 implants , I was wondering if I put one implant on each side and then make a bridge with the implant and my good teeth , would it be an option ? And would it be cheaper than an implant? How much is a bridge ?

I had my molar, the one next to my wisdom tooth removed five days ago. It was extracted due to unsubsiding pain after I’ve had taken a lot of different medicines.Before the extraction they had my teeth x-rayed and saw that my wisdom tooth is soon to erupt from the gum but unfortunately it cannot because my molar is blocking it.It was an impacted wisdom tooth(but not in a very bad condition).Now,after my molar was extracted,the gum where my wisdom is,started to swell.I developed a clot but half of it now is gone because the gum was stretched when it swell.I am experiencing pain in the area but not much.It comes & goes just like lightning.Is it normal?Or i may develop dry socket?Please help.. this is really bothering me considering this is my first tooth extraction ever..Thanks a lot!

Periodontal disease is life long. Why isn’t there more research for a cure?

Please help me with my research paper.

I’ve had braces since July. Just recently, my teeth started to hurt whenever I are or drank something even remotely cold. It’s almost like a brief toothache type pain. I’ve never had sensitive teeth before, but my mom does. The cold things at the dentist don’t bother me. I’m not sure why all of a sudden this is happening to me.

I brush my teeth everynight, about 5-7 minuets, my teeth is very white, never had dental problem. But people tell me I have bad breath why? Is it because food I ate, like fish, curry rice, eating too much, not drinking water enough, not having poop enough?

hi, i actually just got my wisdom teeth out today! it wasnt as bad as i thought too. b/f going into it, the thing i worried about most was anesthesia as i have never been put to sleep before/dont know what it’s like, but it happened so quick, so i’m fine. when i got home my cheeks were puffy and it was hard to eat even soft foods. my tongue felt like it was huge and heavy. then i put on ice packs for a few hours and the puffy cheeks went away. my mouth right now feels funny, but not extremely painful. and it is a little bit easier, but not easy, to eat. so i have a question for you that have had wisdom teeth extractions and remember a day by day thing. how many days after the first day will the pain last? does it get any worse than the first day? does it become easier to eat/brush your teeth? can someone, preferably a dentist or dental assistant or such, please tell me. thanks

Why is my protein shake causing bad breath?

I usually take a high carb weight gain shake after the gym. I find it’s giving me bad breath. It feels like my tongue has something sweet on it. How do I prevent this from happening without the obvious answer of stop taking the supplement.

This morning I woke up and the back on my teeth hurt pretty bad but i had my braces for like 3-4 weeks now so im used to them. And they weren’t sore 2 days ago. Could i have been grinding my teeth in my sleep?
I didn’t get my teeth tightened yet, i get them tightened in September.

I’ve got a brown patch of tooth decay on the ouside of my canine tooth. I was wondering if there is any way to get rid of it.
It’s a little patch on one tooth and I can’t actually see it. No matter how much I turn my head in the mirror, I can’t quite see it so I’m relying on my mum to tell me it’s there. That’s how come it got like that – I can’t see that bit of my tooth so I probably haven’t been brushing there enough.

How to get rid of bad breath?
