I’m trying to find out what is the best teeth-whitening system without going to the dentist for a professional whitening. I’m researching for my fiance, who is in the Marines. Because he doesn’t have the time, as well as all the amount of paperwork he would need to file to get a whitening done, we want to find something over-the-counter. He has really sensitive gums, so I’m nervous for him to use the white-strips. Do the trays seem to work better? Or is there another product someone could recommend? Any suggestions would be great…thanks!

How do you tell someone they have bad breath?

I am about to have my wisdom teeth removed because one is partially impacted and another is partially erupted with the gum grown over it. I am slightly concerned about pain afterwards because honestly my threshold is pretty low. Does the Dentist/Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon usually prescribe enough medications for only the first 24 hours or for a few days. Thanks.

I got my braces off 4 days ago, and my teeth are incredibly sensitive, especially to juice. It hurt so badly when he was polishing them. Is this going to go away?

The problem is that I often get small white stone from my throat which has got a very offending smell. Is this the sign of bad breath?

I think my wisdom teeth are coming out on the left side of my mouth. The last top and last bottom teeth hurt, even my gums feel irritated. I cant go to the dentist for a few days, was wondering if whiskey would help soothe pain or if that is an old wives tail. Thanks

how would you describe tooth decay or a cavity with really descriptive visual language??
in a couple of sentences… im trying to write a paper… of course i wont use exactly anyones words… i will paraphrase, i just dont know where to start. im trying to introduce my paper with a description of tooth decay that is captivating

if i have gum disease will i automatically lose teeth?

Four of my top teeth are still baby teeth and I have no adults ones behind it. The dentist said I can get individual tooth implants for £1700 each, but I can never afford that.
It often hurts to eat cold, hot or crunchy foods. So if I tell the dentist it causes me pain, will I be able to get the implants for free?
Also, I am 17, so normal check-ups are still free.

Its my boss. she has bad breath and many people at work are bothered by it yet noone knows how to approach them without offending them….

I went to the doctor and he gave me some medcine for the pain, but it seems to work but the pain keeps commin back! My wisdom teeth are comming in and they hurt! they give me head aces, my ears and neck hurt. what should i get for my teeth and gums to calm the pain until the come in!

I had my 4 wisdom teeth extracted 7 days ago. Got dry socket in a at least one of the lowers. Packing took care of that pain, but now I’ve been experiencing severe intermittent jaw joint, ear and tooth pain.

The dentist said I’m experiencing trismus. From what I’ve read online, I’m tempted to ask for x-rays (hairline fracture?). If it’s trismus, shouldn’t the pain be letting up faster?

Any dental experts that can help me?

0n 5/4/10 i had a tooth extraction and after the surgery the dentist put 3 non dissolvable stitches in my mouth . A week after my surgery i have to go back to get my stitches removed . I have been smoking cigarettes , but I’m scared an infection is going to accure .

I have been experiencing bad breath,even though I see my dentist every 6 months and brush my teeth and clean my tongue and floss daily! I dont have any medical condition and I am in perfect help. Yes I am a smoker,but I have seen many other smokers without bad breath.
Could anyne please tell me if there is a specific kind of mouthwash that I can use to help with my bad breath? It is really making me depressed.
Thank you for your help.

I just went to the dentist recently…. no cavities, yes!! But the doc says I have bacterias in my gum which can cause gum disease and lead to bigger problem. He recommend that I get my gums a deep cleaning??? Anyway, my appointment is set to 2 weeks from now and Im just very scare becuase I never had a deep cleaning before?? does anyone know what they’re going to do or what they mean by deep cleaning my gums???

The veneers were done 2.5 month ago and covered 6 upper and 6 lower front teeth. The whole procedure was extremely unpleasant, most of my teeth were shaved off (dentist said it had to be done because I had too many fillings), and I’ve had a lot of pain and sensitivity to air, cold and hot ever since. It’s gotten little better but I am still not able to bite into anything hard or even a fruit without pain or discomfort. I wonder if my teeth were permanently damaged.

36 yrs old

As a kid my baby tooth fell out and I had no adult tooth underneath it. It is my 3rd to the last tooth on the bottom right. My bite or smile isn’t affected at all…yet at least. I noticed the teeth to the left and right have receding gumline. This is the only area where it’s present. After insurance my bridge is 0. What should I do? If someone has 1 missing tooth and they have healthy gums, but they are missing 1 tooth what usually can happen if they just leave it alone the rest of their life?

This person is a smoker, but even after his mouth is washing a very bad smell still coming, I said more from his stomach. He is very young like 37 yr. old. He have an operation to fix his intestine. If this can cause the bad breath?

I dont have dental insurance till 2011. I cant afford to do the surgery. What can i do at home that will help slow or stop the recession? Its weird cause i brush my teeth 3 times a day, floss and use mouthwash. PLEASE HELP

I was a smoker and always promised myself once I quit I would whiten my teeth…they aren’t horrible, just are a very fainy yellow. Enough for me to notice being I see myself everyday. Anyways, I was wondering waht is the best teeth whitening product on the market without a prescription/dr’s visit?

My beloved Dad has severe bad breath that has affected his social life and his wonderful friendliness. Getting him to drink more water and obtain better oral hygiene is like pulling teeth. No pun intended. :~D He has a Dentist’s appointment in a few weeks, however, I was wondering what he could do in the meantime. Thank you so much and you rock!

Or are teeth implants wayyyyyyy too much strong for them to even move slightly? also are teeth implants stronger than the natural teeth? i need that answer answered ^ so are they stronger than naturals?
Howcome you wouldnt be able to unscrew the tooth once you get dental implants? if they screw on.. why cant they screw off? what do they do to make the crown un-removable, permanent when its implants?

okay so im in total pain right now cuz my wisdom tooth is coming out…this happens every couple of months for like a week or two! which sucks cuz i cant even eat anything..i mean i do loose weight but still sucks balls! anyway i wanted to know after you get them pulled out how long does that pain last. Is is hours? days? let me know…

Thanks

It happens when I feel ok, but people around me told me that I have bad breath. So how to test it by myself?

For one consultation with the dentist, he suggested that I have some teeth filed away for braces. I didn’t like that idea because I think it would cause nerve damage. In the long term, I may have to cope with sensitive teeth. The dentist said that I already have thin enamel probably from drinking acidic foods or brushing too hard. My mom said that she had to cope with sensitive teeth for the rest of her life because of filing. I’m a bit skeptical of this idea and not sure, any suggestions?
