I’d visit a dental office located in Laguna Niguel www.aestheticdentaldesigns.net called the office and explained to the office personal that I was just released from the Mission Hospital ER and I was suffering from servere tooth pain and was told that I needed a root canal from the ER Physician. I asked the receptionist over the phone if the dentist specialized in root canals and the office gal put me on hold, came back to the phone and stated yes that they specialized treating patients with root canals, she went on to say, if this is an emergency that I can be seen the same day.
When I arrived to the Dental office, the appearance of the office looked very exotic with a fancy construction build out something that reminded of a Star Trek movie. I’d notice the Dentist running around in the hall way making copies of documents while I was being entertained by his staff. I was called into a room 20 minutes from waiting in the lobby for X-rays. The technician asked where was I experiencing the most pain and she took X-rays of just three teeth and not the full mouth.
Within 35 minutes, the second gal who was the receptionist walked into the room. Before any treatments or X-ray explanations she begins a sentence with “She did not know what I could afford?” Apprehensively , she begin explaining the findings of the X-ray taken of the three teeth, however I could not understand what she was trying to convey because of her lack of experience reading X-rays. After not understanding the receptionist I’d demanded to speak to the dentist. The dentist finally walked into the room 25 minutes later with a nasty deposition and handed me a flyer of an African American boy who died of rotten teeth. I begin asking questions about the findings of the X-rays, and the dentist responded with a nasty smirk; his actions gave an impression as if he didn’t want to treat, or touch an African American.
He went on to explain the X-rays, and suggested that I should seek another dentist for general treatments and recommended that I should see a dentist that specialized in root canals. I’d asked the dentist for a prescription for pain the dentist in return begins to ask allot of unusual questions as if I was a street person who was a drug user. He hesitated to write the prescriptions and stated that he doesn’t get involved with giving patient prescriptions to medications. He continued to push the flyer in my face of the African American boy who died of rotten teeth because his mother could not afford dental insurance. The dentist went on to say that I would need a crown after the root canal and can be seen by any dentist! I begin asking the dentist about his fees concerning crowns, the dentist assumed because I was African American that I could not afford his dental services and printed an extra nominal fee of $2,200 per crown. His office charged me a consulting fee, close to $200 bucks for No treatment and phony Xrays.
Racism in Orange County in the Dental Practices?
well they sound very unprofessional and would be wise to not go back to them fools, but why would you goto an ER for tooth pain in the first place. hmm
Reply:Oh I am so sorry this happened to you. Remember you live in OC and as you know we are known for being "sue-happy" but this is a definite case for a law suit. I cannot believe this dentist would act in such an unprofessional manner %26amp; to top that, I don't understand why you paid him the $200--I would have walked out. You should definitely demand your money back and take this to the medical board he can get in some serious trouble by being discriminatory. He was completely out of line %26amp; you did not deserve this treatment at all.
I really hope that you pursue this and take action, remember if this happened to you then it is going to happen to others as well. You can be the first to put a stop to it. Age, race, color discrimination is illegal in any field, and that most definitely includes dentistry.
On a lighter note I hope your tooth is feeling better...get well soon!

Please advise/information on what to do and what will happen.................?
I have not looked after my teeth very well at all and feel that is one of my biggest regrets in life. I am only 16, my teeth are crammed into my mouth, they are not straight, and a couple are rotten. I certainly intend to go to the dentists very soon. I understand the rotten teeth will be removed, however will it be possible to have braces after to solve the angle of my teeth? or will i have to wait for the teeth to move naturally first? lastly, could i be refused by an orthodontist?
Please advise/information on what to do and what will happen.................?
I would definitely consult a dentist on your options. Braces should be able to help with straightening your teeth after you've had some taken out. But definitely go see a dentist to have a full exam. They should be able to better advise you on this.

Should I say something to her?
The other day, There this thing going on at the library, I have a friend who has been looking for free stuff to do with her son this summer so I invited them to go with us to the library. We were getting ready to leave and I was standing there talking to her before we left ( she drove her own car ) and we heard her son telling my daughter that she had rotten teeth ( must have been the lighting because my daughter has perfectly healthy clean teeth ) then started calling her rotten tooth. I could tell that she was really embarassed so I went over and told her in front of him that her teeth were not rotten and that she has a beautiful smile and while i was talking to my daughter I was expecting my friend to say something to her son and she didn't, I was so POed. Should I bring this up when I talk to her next? and if so what should I say?
Should I say something to her?
First, I would tell your daughter that this boy is a retard if he thinks her teeth are rotten. Have her look at pictures of clean teeth and some of rotten teeth...ask her which set of teeth hers looks more like. Then tell her the boy was probably picking on her because he's got a crush on her and that's what some boys do with girls they like (punch them in the arm, make fun of them, dip their pigtails in an inkwell, etc.)
Reply:Just let it go. Kids will be kids. If it continues I would say something. Just remember, sometimes parents think that there children are perfect. So this could easily cause conflict between you and your friend if you said something. So just choose your words carefully.
Reply:Next time you talk to her ask her if maybe the next time her son name calls someone and is rude, she she actually give him some discipline. Okay, you could be a little nicer. But that is basically the point of what you should say to her. Good luck.
Reply:mom, i rily dont know how it feels cos i m not a mom but people v said awful lot of things to me n i jus stood thre wishin g my mom wld say" my love,u r not ugly or a monster but creatd in Gods image n prfection"tel ur kid u r proud of her n she shld neva let any one look down on her.cos God dint make no junk.n pls confront the othr kids mother to train up her boy.as they say charity begins at home.tk care
Reply:You should definitely bring this to her attention. By her not saying anything to her son she is basically telling him that it is ok to insult and hurt people. I would just tell her that it really bothered you that she didn't say anything to him especially when your daughter's feelings are being hurt. Not to mention it was overall a very rude thing to say.Hope this helps.
Reply:Don't buy into the "kids will be kids"crap. Kids will be rude if the parents does not speak up and correct the child. Shame on the mother for not letting her son know it was a rude comment to make. Personally, yes I would say something to the mother. "I just wanted to let you know, that comment your son said really hurt my daughters feelings, and since it was said, she has been really shy with showing her teeth" If she has any common sense, she should say sorry. If it were me, I would say sorry, then have a talk with my child about other people's feelings. But I would have said something to my child right then and there.
Reply:most definatley say something to her, you have been friends long enough for her to be open to conversation.
try not to put your daughter in his company too often, he obviously has quiet an impact on her.
in the mean time, take your daughter to a dentist. when he comments on how great her teeth are, she will be proud of them.
everytime she brushes her teeth, compliment her on how great they are looking.
when you take family photos, make a point of her flashing her pearly whites... all these little things can help boost her self esteem again, and feel comfortable about herself
Reply:Let this one go. Your daughter will forget in time.
As for next time a situation like this comes up try, "Wow, that was uncalled for. I got the last one, why don't you handle this one."
Reply:Try to have your daughter to stay away from him.
Reply:i would tell your friend to contact a professional. Personally, I would not take suicide lightly.
Reply:Let it go. I'm sure his mother was embarrassed. This not the first nor the last time her son has been rude. This is most likely ongoing behavior. Explain to your daughter that his behavior was rude and uncalled for and keep as far away from this little boy and his mother as you can. You don't need to have contact with them.
Reply:So a kid teased your daughter...GET OVER IT.

Kids and the dentist ....?
Who thinks thats parents/carers should be to blame for small kids rotten teeth . I know 2 kids both under 8 who had to have all teeth removed as they were all rotten . Who`s to blame ? It angers me to see children with bad teeth .... I mean small kids maybe 8 %26amp; under , the dentist reckons kids 8+ are able to clean their own teeth satisfactoraly . Don`t get me wrong even my kids have a filling but i mean really bad teeth and small kids need someone to keep them right and even help with brushing .I know this will opena can of worms as someone will mention may mention junk food etc but no matter what u eat as long as the teeth are brushed properly 2-3 times daily they should remain strong healthy teeth .

Reply:i agree with u totally who's to blame for the kids rotten teeth the
parents, they should make sure they look after there teeth like they make them have a bath,,,,,,, if the parents do not look after there children they are rotten parents
Reply:Parents are totally to blame here. I used to work for NHS direct, and most people I spoke to had never taken their kids to the dentist. The excuses were "he's only four" or "well I'm scared of the dentist, so I'm not taking her". I asked the dental nurse when to take my son, and she said as soon as they get a tooth. this also helps them overcome fear if they go from an early age. I don't have a problem taking my boys to the dentist ( aged 9 %26amp; 6) and they know they have to brush twice a day. it aint rocket science.
Reply:Why would the parents be to blame? When I was a small child I had to have most of my baby teeth pulled because they crumbled away. It had nothing to do with what my parentd fed me or that they didn't show me how to brush properly. When I was growing up there was no flouride, when I was an infantI was on a lot of antibiotics due to chronic ear infections, and the antibiotics hindered the development of strong healthy baby teeth. So were my parents to blame for taking me to the doctor to get the antibiotics for my ear infections so that I didn't loose my hearing or worse die from an infection? Learn a few facts before you jump to conclusions...or make ASSumptions...because when you assume you make an ASSoutofUinfrontofMe and YOU are to blame for that.
Reply:I agree totally with you. Parents have to make sure that their kids eats less junk food, sweets and that they brush their teeth 2-3 times a week!
Reply:I agree, I hate hearing about 3 and 4 year olds who are having teeth removed - it has got to be the parents responsibility. Someone at school has been told her daughter has a small hole in her tooth that will eventually need filling (she is 4) and her mum STILL gives her sweets and fizzy drinks!! I suggested she give her sugar free sweets and stop fizzy drinks and she looked at me like I was mad!!
Reply:I completely understand where you are coming from. I know someone who allowed her son to walk around with his teeth decaying for months before doing anything about it, and of course he was also in pain. There was no excuse at all for it because we are military stationed overseas and get free dental care, and it's good quality care. One thing I hear from a lot of people is that it's okay for their kids' baby teeth to decay since they will fall out anyway, but this is totally unacceptable. Healthy baby teeth make for healthy adult teeth. I think parents are just lazy and wrapped up in other things. Even people who can't afford dental care can still afford a tooth brush and tooth paste, and most communities have some sort of assistance when it comes to providing dental care.
Reply:I don't know if I agree as I have four kids three have perfect teeth and one has bad teeth they all eat the same foods, but things are going to get worse as most dentists now are opting out of the NHS and people will not be able to afford to take their children to the dentist.
Reply:i agree with you.first family and then TV should help.
Reply:my children went to the dentist when they were six months old. they were afraid of him and now he takes his mask off when they go. my daughter recently went back for fissure seals on her molars to protect them, and went so far as to not let me in the room with her as she is a big girl now! (she is 6). i found that they were very independant with their teeth and wanted to do it themselves - so i would buy them two brushes each and i would do it first and then they would have a shot.
i have seen other children though that have gone to hospital to get all their baby teeth removed, and other children that have teeth that are simply black and full of holes. my mum had to have all her teeth removed and false ones put in when she was about 35 - and i remember how much pain it caused her. thats maybe why i try to make sure my kids brush their teeth.
Reply:There are the obvious cases where medical factors take over and I know you are talking entirely about cases that can be avoided. Of course tha parents/carers have to be responsible to oversee that the teeth are brushed properly. I think even 8 is quite young to stop supervision. My eldest is 7 and it is about a 60/40 split when I brush them and he brushes himself. If he got a cavity then I would blame myself. He obviously has to learn to do it himself and practice makes perfect, but until the day he can brush and then take a disclosing tablet that shows up no remaining plaque then I will continue on as I do.
Reply:Dentists can determine by the nature of the problem on whether parental neglect of oral hygiene education is at fault for rotten teeth. They can also tell if the child has a genetic abnormality which causes the teeth to be weaker than normal. They can also tell if the nature of the tooth problem is due to decalcification. They can also tell if antibiotics are to blame. Each problem creates different symptoms and different issues within the teeth and gums. Any experienced dentist can tell the difference.
Brushing and flossing every day is a must. Parents that fail to teach and enforce this should be held responsible for their children's excessively rotten teeth. Now, there's a difference between needing a filling, and needing endodontial work, periodontal work, crowns, etc at a young age due to decay. Cavities happen.
Trauma to the teeth are another story. My two front teeth required endodontal work and crowns after they were broken when I was tripped at a skating rink. These things happen and are at no direct fault of the parent. We can't entirely shelter children away from ever damaging their teeth.
What you eat has little bearing on your teeth as long as you brush, floss, and get in for regular cleanings.

Just removed wisdom teeth.Has anyone else experienced some secretion from your gums where tooth was removed?
I dont even know if it some kind of secretin but it tastes nasty. it coming from my back bottom tooth just one is like that. it tastes really nasty. tastes like bad breathe or like something rotten. I have no idea what it is. this seemed like it heeled in a different way because there wasnt really a whole. they probably just cut my gums and stitched it back together. i cant see it. i can just taste it. my other 3 holes are doing fine and none of this occured in them.
Just removed wisdom teeth.Has anyone else experienced some secretion from your gums where tooth was removed?
Yes. Drainage is typically normal. However, it could be from infection. If you have any other symptoms, like severe pain or fever, don't hesitate to get back to the dentist.

How much does cat tooth extraction cost?
my roommate's cat had surgery today. they noticed she had 2 rotten teeth. one they were able to get out easily, the other was still in there. they called me while the cat was still under for permission to remove the tooth. i was unable to reach my roommate, so i made the decision to follow the vet's advice. how much more did i just add to his bill?
How much does cat tooth extraction cost?
Actually, you may have saved him money because his cat would have to have to tooth removed anyway. That would have costed him another visit, anesthesia %26amp; recovery. This way it was done all at once w/ everything else. Plus it was less stressful for the cat, it only had to be put under once.
Reply:Probably not much. The big part of the bill is the anesthesia. I am guessing maybe only another $20.
Reply:Your roommate cares about the cat or she/he would not have it at the vet in the first place. Rotten teeth can cause illness or even death in a cat. The tooth needed to come out! So you saved your roommate money because they did not have to take the cat back for a second trip.
Reply:This really depends on the vet. But if the vet was already in there, it probably added less than $100. If the tooth needed to come out, it was well worth it to tell them to do it. Those teeth can become infected and can cause major health problems in the cat. Taking the tooth out may cost a bit extra but can save hundreds of dollars in vet bills later on. I don't know exactly how much a tooth extraction costs, but I know a full dental with extraction for $300 is not unheard of. There is a base cost involved for anesthesia, equipment, etc but once they're in there additions are less costly. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Reply:There is absolutely NO way of telling - vet practices all work in different ways, and prices vary hugely! If it was my practice though, we would not charge any extra for one more tooth.
I suggest you call the vet if you want to know the answer to this question, and ask what the bill is! I would think your friend would've said yes too - no point refusing necessary treatment if the cat is already under for that very thing.

Reply:My cat just had dental surgery.
I was given an estimate ahead of time, and was told that every "easy" extraction would be about $40, and every "difficult" extraction would be about $70. But I live in an expensive area, so it might be a little cheaper where you are.
I signed a form telling them they could do whatever was necessary to his teeth--but then again, his surgery was entirely dental. (They wound up removing his 3 remaining fangs, which were all considered easy extractions.)
You did the right thing. If the tooth wasn't removed, chances are the cat would have eventually had to go through surgery again to remove it, or he could get very sick. In the long run, you probably saved your friend money. At the very least, he should have made sure that the vet could get in contact with him during his pet's surgery.
Reply:My kitty had 4 teeth pulled last month. It only cost $120, but I think the vet gave me a good deal. My friend had 1 extraction done on her cat last year and it cost her $150. It doesn't matter how much it costs really, if it was making the kitty miserable then it had to be done. If it hadn't gotten that bad yet, it would have. You know how bad tooth pain is, you don't want your kitty to suffer. That is the responsibility you take on as a pet owner.
Alot of veterinarian's will let you make payment arrangements. Ask if your vet will.
Reply:You should of just saved yourself some money and pulled it yourself. Vice Grips or Pliers work very well.
Reply:I had a tooth removed on one of ours, for the proceedure it was $150 which included pre-operative, post operative, anesthetic, removal, machine use, payment per staff, etc.

How much does cat tooth extraction cost?
Actually, you may have saved him money because his cat would have to have to tooth removed anyway. That would have costed him another visit, anesthesia %26amp; recovery. This way it was done all at once w/ everything else. Plus it was less stressful for the cat, it only had to be put under once.
Reply:Probably not much. The big part of the bill is the anesthesia. I am guessing maybe only another $20.
Reply:Your roommate cares about the cat or she/he would not have it at the vet in the first place. Rotten teeth can cause illness or even death in a cat. The tooth needed to come out! So you saved your roommate money because they did not have to take the cat back for a second trip.
Reply:This really depends on the vet. But if the vet was already in there, it probably added less than $100. If the tooth needed to come out, it was well worth it to tell them to do it. Those teeth can become infected and can cause major health problems in the cat. Taking the tooth out may cost a bit extra but can save hundreds of dollars in vet bills later on. I don't know exactly how much a tooth extraction costs, but I know a full dental with extraction for $300 is not unheard of. There is a base cost involved for anesthesia, equipment, etc but once they're in there additions are less costly. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Reply:There is absolutely NO way of telling - vet practices all work in different ways, and prices vary hugely! If it was my practice though, we would not charge any extra for one more tooth.
I suggest you call the vet if you want to know the answer to this question, and ask what the bill is! I would think your friend would've said yes too - no point refusing necessary treatment if the cat is already under for that very thing.

Is there any correlation between tooth decay and heart problems or nervous disorders?
I have heard that a rotten tooth or rotting tooth can cause certain other physical problems. Are they detectable through blood tests and what would you look for? I have heard of a gentleman who had several rotting wisdom teeth whose blood pressure went up and he had no indication of high white blood cell count on a blood test indicating that he was fighting an infection. Is there a correlation? I'm stumped.
Is there any correlation between tooth decay and heart problems or nervous disorders?
There is ONLY a link between tooth decay and heart problems if someone already has problems with the valves in their heart. If your heart is healthy then tooth decay will NOT cause heart problems.
As for this gentleman you mentioned, the fact that his white cells weren't raised on blood test suggests that the infection was localised and contained in the teeth and had not progressed enough to enter the blood stream. As for his blood pressure increasing, well that could be entirely coincidental, or it could be a natural physiological response to the pain he was doubtless having from his teeth.
Reply:Yes! I had an RN friend who used to work in ICU. She said there were so many heart patients there because of tooth abscesses and gum infections! The heart is closest to our mouths, and the infection has a very short way to travel.
In her opinion, if people would take care of their teeth, there wold be much fewer cardiac problems!
Reply:Absolutely. The two main kinds of bacteria that cause tooth decay can wreak havoc on your heart. That is why heart patients are given antibiotics prior to any dental work, including routine cleanings.

-err, My tooth just..?
I think I may have a rotten tooth? I take good care of my teeth, but the last molar (not wisdom tooth) on my right side has has a chip of enamal off in the corner of my mouth. now.. I was just checking with it again, and it crumbled. the outer edge is still okat except the one corner, but I am afraid the inside may be the worst? Oh, I will be arranging an appointment a.s.a.p., for this just occoured tonight. anything I should worry abot or do in the mean time.. I am not feeling any pain..? (I am 16?)
-err, My tooth just..?
If the outside of your tooth is crumbling, you have a HUGE cavity. I'm glad you are not feeling any pain, but I am also glad you are going to call your dentist ASAP.
Reply:sounds like calcium deficiency is causing it; however, you must go to the dentist SOON because a rotting tooth cause some awful bad breath
Reply:You may need a root canal.
Reply:i agree with Dr.Sam dont leave it alone or it will start to hurt i hate tooth aches call ur dentist tomorrow for sure if its not bad they can save it
Reply:i cannot say whether you need a root canal or not. If you needed one then that would mean the tooth has "died" and there is problems with the nerves. This sounds like decay (your only 16). You should make an appointment.

Dog's Rotting Tooth?
I've just been told that my dog has one bad tooth, up the top at the left. I'm bemused by this, because his teeth look to be in healthy order at the front, and he has always had a good quality diet, and is never allowed to eat crap. In fairness, I've never actually brushed his teeth, because I didn't think I had to during the first year (because they lose their teeth anyway)...can someone shed some light on this!? Is it a sign of something more sinister?! Or is it usual to have one rotten tooth and for the others to be fine!?
He is 12 months old and is a German Shepherd.
Dog's Rotting Tooth?
No not normal at all! You need to have the vet look at it, and possibly get it removed. A rotting tooth harbours all kinds of bacteria, plaque, and diseases. All this can drain down your dogs throat and seep into his body, eventually making him very sick.
Reply:aw, the poor thing! he should go to the doctor now! asap! that tooth has got to get better or get pulled out!!!! then he can play with all the chew toys he wants!
Reply:Animals need their teeth cleaned just like humans or they can go bad. (Even with the best quality food) That is why you bring them in for dental cleanings (and xrays) to keep their teeth strong and healthy. When their teeth gets tarter and all the bacteria can go into the bloodstream and cause infection to the heart and other organs. Being in your case your dog is at the age that she might need a good cleaning but if it has a bad tooth as well it could be genetics. Your vet is right so trust them and have it done before the infection spreads in the body and that the bad tooth doesnt cause pain in the mouth just how we can suffer a tooth ache.
Reply:My cat had the exact same situation. Well, maybe not the same tooth, but she had one rotten tooth when she was very young - about a year or so. She is now 7 years old and has never had anymore dental problems. You do need to have the tooth removed though - as soon as possible. It could have just been a bad tooth to begin with and eventually rotted. Just start brushing those teeth and keep an eye out, but hopefully it will be okay like it was for my kitty.
Reply:Periodontal disease can affect your dog's teeth, even if they look fine. The most common sign of periodontal disease is plaque and tartar buildup on your dog's teeth. if your dog is only 12 months old, it's unlikely that this is the problem, but still possible. Take him to the vet; he might need to have the tooth removed. Don't wait for it to get worse; it could be causing him a lot of pain when he eats. Animals will continue to eat even with painful teeth, but if he stops eating, it's very serious pain he's dealing with.
Also, try to start brushing his teeth. This is the best way to prevent tooth problems from occuring in the first place.
Reply:Some Treats can help clean and fix teeth, but if it's really bad, then the dog should see a vet for making sure. Ask them questions and get some answers

Dog's Rotting Tooth??
Hi, I'm 14 and I'm interested in veterinary science.I've had this problem before with my cairn terrier. What you need to do is brush his teeth. It's just like your teeth. They get dirty and will start to rot. You should take him to a vet and see if they recommend you to get his teeth cleaned. That's what we did with my dog. It can be expensive but it prevents anymore problems! So brush his teeth at least once a day using a regular toothbrush and dog toothpaste. Ask you vet too!
Reply:Is the the second teeth or is it a baby tooth. I don't think it could be his diet from what you say. We have our dog's teeth cleaned each year by the vet. She is 9. They have to put her out and descale them but she never eats sweets etc. They are always badly stained though, from what we don't know. It's hard to brush their teeth but you can buy chewy sticks designed to clean teeth.
Reply:sounds odd to me just becuase of her age...maybe the vet is trying to make his kids tuition....get a second opinion.
Reply:If your dog has a tooth that it's such bad condition that it has to be pulled, you'd be able to see it yourself. Pull his gums back and take a look. I've never heard of a dog this young having 1 tooth that needs pulling. If you're not sure, why not get his breeder or someone else with lots of dog experience to have a look.
As for brushing his teeth, since he finished teething over half a year ago, now would be a good time to get him used to getting his teeth brushed. Get a soft, small toothbrush, dog toothpaste and be patient and gentle - he'll get used to it.
Reply:Sounds odd in such a young dog.
If you are suspicous then get a 2nd opinion from a vet at another practice.

Tooth problems!?
Today my mouth was killing me i looked inside and saw a row of horrible cavities on the upper right side of my mouth, my one tooth is almost half gone from it, it never hurt before, i didn't even know i had it! I'm wondering why the dentist didn't see it when i was there last month! What do i do, I'm kind of embarrased to go to the dentist with rotten teeth! I just don't know how he could have missed such a major major problem! My tooth is really bad!!
Tooth problems!?
If what you are describing is true, I would change dentist. If is really looks that bad, the dentist should have NOT missed that. I am a dental hygienist and if I worked for a dentist who could miss that, I would quit! Good luck and hope you find another dentist you can trust.
Reply:I know what u mean. i have had bad teeth myself...dont feel embarrased....Visit the dentist at the earliest, hopefully your teeth can be saved....all the best
One advise though....research a bit for good dentists in ur area. ....dentistry is extremely commercialised practice and u want to go to someone who's really good.

Tooth Enamel Damage?
I need someone in dentestry to answer my question:
I am an alcoholic (the past 7 years) now I hardly ever puke probablly only once a month, my question is how often does someone have to vomit in order to damage they're teeth and how can I minimize the damage... please don't give me a lecture about my drinking cause that isn't going to stop, I've been to rehab and tried to quit several times to no avail.
thank you everyone. oh and the reason I ask is because I've noticed how bulleimic (SP??) people have rotten teeth and I don't want to suffer the same fate.
oh yes and do teeth whitening agents damage as well?
Tooth Enamel Damage?
First of all, no lecturing on your addiction, but I do wish you well in your endeavor to overcome it. As far as vomiting damaging your enamel, it would have to be on a regular basis, more than it sounds like you are doing. You might look in the dental isle for the new toothpaste that strengthen your enamel, all the brands carry their own version, just read the boxes. Whitening agents dont damage your teeth but they can cause sensitivity which again can be controlled with sensitive toothpaste or fluoride rinses.
Reply:wow, i dont think you should vomit that much, but i dont know if it causes teeth decay, but yeah i think the only thing vomiting is bad on is your asophagus or however you spell it

Childs tooth decay?
My son found out today at the dentist he has 2 rotten teeth. One they want to pull because they said he will be losing it soon anyway (they are both baby teeth) and the other they want to do a filling because they say its a back tooth that he wont be losing for a few years. They want to use nitrous oxide also.
I have good teeth and so does my older child so Im unfamilar with this. He's already nine why wouldnt they pull both? My daughter finished her braces at age 12. So why would they say that one tooth will be a few more years? And Ive never had nitrous just wondering what thats like also.
This office is very nice and swanky. I know they didnt get like that by not charging for it! My portion for this work will be $95. So I want to be sure Im doing the right thing!
Any advice would be great thanks!
Childs tooth decay?
WOW!! I can't believe the ignorance here. Not you! The answers! Where are all the dentists to help here?!
Okay, here's an explanation for your son's treatment:
The reason they are recommending that his molar tooth is filled and not extracted is because if they remove his molar, his other baby teeth will move over time and bridge the gap, leaving no room for his permanent molar to come through in its place, meaning crowded teeth and costly orthodontics down the track. ( Very odd that your daughter finished her braces at 12, they aren't usually placed until then!! Braces are more often than not placed when ALL of the permanent teeth are present except for special circumstances) If he was to have his baby molar removed now he would need something called a "Space maintainer" fitted which is an orthodontic appliance to maintain a space until he gets older (the adult molars come through at 12, 14 and 18-25). Also a costly option.
Nitrous oxide is a good thing for kids who haven't had any or very little treatment, especially if they are having teeth removed. it makes the appointment alot easier to cope with, meaning that future appointments will be less of an anxiety issue as he gets older. You may like him to go without, but it's ultimately a matter of his initial anxiety level and whether you believe he is okay without it. Depends on the individual! Hope this helps!
Reply:There is every possibility of tooth decay for children so far their "Temporary Teeth" are concerned. It's not a permanent problem. But take care when permanent teeth come out.
Reply:so the kid doesn't have a gap for however many years till the other one grows in. nitrous is nice, you usually get that at private 'swanky' places. they dilute it a fair amount with oxygen but when done straight it's called hippie crack. Back in the day dentists huffed it all the time but with modern knowledge of drugs it's improper for doctors to be hitting off the tank.
Reply:I have 23yrs in the dental field and it sounds like they are pretty honest with you. My sister took my nephew to a pedodontist (childs dentis) and they gave her a list of work he needed done. Needless to say, he didn't need half the work and on one tooth that was ready to come out they wanted to put a stainless steel crown on it just for the $$. Kids do not lose their back teeth until they are teenagers so doing a filling is the right thing to do. As for the Nitrous Oxide, it is very safe, I even use it when I get dental work done. It just relaxes you and when the work is done you go home feeling normal, there are no side effects. It sounds like your dentist is very legit.
Reply:A lot of times, cavities and bad teeth in general are genetic. The dentist will deny this up and down, but research says it's true. He'll just have to have checkups every 6 mos. Mom, you will have to be dilligent until he's grown! But of course, make sure he brushes, etc. which I'm sure you do (as much as you can with a 9 yo boy!). Use a flouride swish every nite. The dentist can give him special flouride (prescription) toothpaste. Make sure he gets sealants on his teeth if he hasn't already had them. It takes a lot of work! Cavities run in my family and I swear I'm at the dentist every 3 mos. if not for checkup and cleaning then for a cavity (my kids) and me growing up. But my ex-husband hardly ever went to the dentist and still has never had a cavity! Also, if he's on any type of ADHD medication, this can cause dry mouth which greatly increases chances of cavities!
Reply:I don't trust dentists. If the tooth is coming out anyway, what's the use except money in the bank for them. UNLESS it's in front and an eyesore, but you didn't notice so it musn't be bad.
The other thing, if they try to push fluoride pills on you, don't do it. My younger brother started developing fluorosis from that.
Fluoride is an over-hyped thing, and the stuff they put in your water is actually hydrofluosilicic acid, a biohazardous industrial byproduct containing many toxins including arsenic among others. It just so happens to have a high concentrate of sodium fluoride, at the cost of poison in there too.
Reply:Vitamin c....a deficiency in vitamin c can cause gum deseases and kids need vitamin c....

Nitrous oxide is a good thing for kids who haven't had any or very little treatment, especially if they are having teeth removed. it makes the appointment alot easier to cope with, meaning that future appointments will be less of an anxiety issue as he gets older. You may like him to go without, but it's ultimately a matter of his initial anxiety level and whether you believe he is okay without it. Depends on the individual! Hope this helps!
Reply:There is every possibility of tooth decay for children so far their "Temporary Teeth" are concerned. It's not a permanent problem. But take care when permanent teeth come out.
Reply:so the kid doesn't have a gap for however many years till the other one grows in. nitrous is nice, you usually get that at private 'swanky' places. they dilute it a fair amount with oxygen but when done straight it's called hippie crack. Back in the day dentists huffed it all the time but with modern knowledge of drugs it's improper for doctors to be hitting off the tank.
Reply:I have 23yrs in the dental field and it sounds like they are pretty honest with you. My sister took my nephew to a pedodontist (childs dentis) and they gave her a list of work he needed done. Needless to say, he didn't need half the work and on one tooth that was ready to come out they wanted to put a stainless steel crown on it just for the $$. Kids do not lose their back teeth until they are teenagers so doing a filling is the right thing to do. As for the Nitrous Oxide, it is very safe, I even use it when I get dental work done. It just relaxes you and when the work is done you go home feeling normal, there are no side effects. It sounds like your dentist is very legit.
Reply:A lot of times, cavities and bad teeth in general are genetic. The dentist will deny this up and down, but research says it's true. He'll just have to have checkups every 6 mos. Mom, you will have to be dilligent until he's grown! But of course, make sure he brushes, etc. which I'm sure you do (as much as you can with a 9 yo boy!). Use a flouride swish every nite. The dentist can give him special flouride (prescription) toothpaste. Make sure he gets sealants on his teeth if he hasn't already had them. It takes a lot of work! Cavities run in my family and I swear I'm at the dentist every 3 mos. if not for checkup and cleaning then for a cavity (my kids) and me growing up. But my ex-husband hardly ever went to the dentist and still has never had a cavity! Also, if he's on any type of ADHD medication, this can cause dry mouth which greatly increases chances of cavities!
Reply:I don't trust dentists. If the tooth is coming out anyway, what's the use except money in the bank for them. UNLESS it's in front and an eyesore, but you didn't notice so it musn't be bad.
The other thing, if they try to push fluoride pills on you, don't do it. My younger brother started developing fluorosis from that.
Fluoride is an over-hyped thing, and the stuff they put in your water is actually hydrofluosilicic acid, a biohazardous industrial byproduct containing many toxins including arsenic among others. It just so happens to have a high concentrate of sodium fluoride, at the cost of poison in there too.
Reply:Vitamin c....a deficiency in vitamin c can cause gum deseases and kids need vitamin c....

I keep having the same dream over the last few years. I am pulling my own teeth out and spitting them out.?
Sometimes I just pull them straight out other times I have to wiggle them out. Sometimes they are rotten and other times they are ok. Any ideas what this means. I vist the dentist regular and although I don't have the strongest teeth they all look ok.
I keep having the same dream over the last few years. I am pulling my own teeth out and spitting them out.?
it really depends on what your teeth symbolise to you, how precious are they to you, and do you in your wakeing life really care about them.
This would then indicate that by pulling them out you are causeing pain/happines/anxiety to yourself, and this could mean your dream is your minds way of reacting to the life you are living and how you really feel about it. If it makes you subconciously happy/anxious..etc as this could be what your subconcious mind is attempting to converse to your wakeing mind.
Its then up to you if you choose to listen and correct things for the better, or leave things alone, I cannot say as I dont know exactly what the interpretation could mean for you but if you leave things as they are and dont react to the dream you are likely to have the same dream reoccur.
If you cannot workout what you feel as you pull the teeth out, think of what you feel when you have done it- I dont mean the wakeing up thought of "WTF?!" I mean the thought when you are still asleep/half awake, or actually doing it /dreaming, what else goes through your mind, you may find it easier to talk your dream through with someone, like a mate or if they are really scary dreams then a councellor.

Reply:You are probably feeling lack of control lately. Projecting pulling your own teeth may mean subconsciously you are feeling helpless. Spitting them out symbolizes low confidence In other words, you may be feeling disrespected and not recognized in some way in life and that is involved with things you are trying to do. Examine your life, you will know exactly what it means.
Reply:This is a common dream , I have had it a few times that I can remember.
I have always thought it was just a reflection of a slight anxiety about oral health nothing more. A note to the self to look after your teeth.

I have a dental bridge for my upper row of front teeth.. Should there be a gap between my gums and the bridge?
About a year ago, I had an accident that resulted in the loss of 4 of my upper front teeth.. The dentist pulled the broken ones and installed a 6 tooth long bridge that attached itself to both of my canines. I have a metal plate underneath, and the bridge is permanent (at least for ten years or so), but there appears to be a gap of space between the bridge and my upper gums. Should this be there?... Shouldn't the bridge be pushed all the way up to the gum to hide any spacing in between?... It looks horrible when I smile because of the blackness from the gap... makes my mouth look somewhat rotten to those who do not know that what they are seeing is a gap between the bridge and gums. The first time my dentist was to install the bridge, it turned out that the lab has made it in the incorrect size, so I had to come back... he seemed skiddish upon installing the second one, I think he knew it didn't fit correctly, but installed it anyway to save time and money for himself. What can I do?
I have a dental bridge for my upper row of front teeth.. Should there be a gap between my gums and the bridge?
The fact that you got the "vibes" that this wasn't done quite right is a bad indicator. No one wants to feel that way when getting aesthetic dental work accomplished.
The key to handling this is to ask your dentist if this would be okay in his mouth. In other words, would he want to see that gap if that bridge were in his mouth. Unless you get a good answer that makes the utmost sense to you, I suggest you press the point to have it redone.
Now, I'm not being critical in that there could be a thousand reasons why it was left in that manner, but it needs to be communicated to you and make sense to you. If it doesn't add up then go to another office and get a second opinion and compare notes.
Best of luck to you!!!
Reply:IF THE DENTIST DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING IN THE BRIDGE BUT DID IT ANYWAY, HE'S AT FAULT AND SHOULD REDO THE WORK AND PUT IN IN A BRIDGE THAT FITS PROPERLY.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS REMIND HIM HE DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING IT IN BUT DID IT ANYWAY AGAINST HIS BETTER JUDGMENT. HE SHOULD DO IT AGAIN.

Kitten has 2 missing adult teeth?
My kitten's (6 months old) has 2 missing adult teeth according to his vet. I am taking him in for x-rays on Tuesday to find out if they are perhaps still up in the gum. What are some other possible reasons why they would not be there? Have you experienced this before?
My kitten is an indoor kitty who is my only pet. He is spoiled rotten so it is not possibly that he got into a fight or anything.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Kitten has 2 missing adult teeth?
Most likely, the adult teeth haven't grown in yet.
Which adult teeth are you talking about? If they're molars, just wait a month or two before having x-rays taken. 6-month-old kittens don't have all their adult teeth. They're the equivalent of a 10-year-old child.
Reply:Hmmmm. Sounds like your vet is right but it might just be taking a while for his teeth to grow in. When I was a baby they thought I'd stay toothless forever! But now look at me I'm just fine. My cats haven't had that experience before but no need to worry. He should be just fine.
Reply:It may be that your off on how old your kitten actually is? It may be that he is a late bloomer. I'd wait a month before becoming worried.

Do you get the feeling that your teeth are moving sometimes?
I think my teeth are moving around in my mouth! not suddenly but more of a gradual process! my front tooth is clicking and i can just wiggle it back and forth! it is a weird feeling. should this happen? and no, my gums are not rotten, i dont have scurvy.. i have good oral hygiene etc. etc.
Do you get the feeling that your teeth are moving sometimes?
maybe it's just loose. I remember my dentist saying something about in time, teeth sometimes become loose due to the food we eat.. like for example if we eat a lot of crunchy or hard stuff like candy even popcorn.. they eventually make our teeth loose but not enough to fall off..
Reply:I had this problem many years ago. My teeth were loose and I went to a Dr. Snow who was practicing a new idea of Dr. Keyes of Washington DC. It turned out not to be new really, since it was something my mother told me to do when I was a kid. It was simply to brush my teeth with baking soda and salt, but now you added peroxide to mixture. Also you would use this mixture in one of those water floss gadgets to aerate between the gums.
The peroxide was to kill germs and because it bubbles it removes the germs out of the crevices of the teeth and gums, the baking soda helps whiten and the salt toughens and kills germs and the gums. I used this idea and my gums strenghten and to this day, I don't have a problem with loose teeth.
So though it seems like a simple solution to the problem it works, believe me and worth your trying. Sometimes the old methods still work better than your "new improved" ones.
In fact my dentist showed me how many new tooth pastes incorporate the salt and baking soda ingredients and that is what works and the other ingredients are just a waste and add to the expense of the product.
Reply:I had it before. I heard it is due to stones around the gum. I went to the dentist to clean up. Take more calcium milk or related products. It helps to strengthen back.
Reply:My teeth were like that last year before I lost them. I just figured it would go away on its own but instead of getting better it just got worse. I thought I was doing an ok job of taking care of my teeth, but I guess not. Finally my teeth got so loose I actually lost a couple of my front teeth. When I went to the dentist he said I had advanced PD, which I didn't even know I had. My teeth and gums looked ok to me. Anyways, I ended up having all of my teeth pulled last year and I'm only 16. Better get it checked out while you still have teeth. Maybe they can do something...I don't know what but it's probly worth a shot.
Reply:teeth move. sometimes weather will do this to mine. do you grind your teeth at night? that could be a big problem. if so, just ask the dentist for a bite guard to wear when u sleep. maybe bring this to his/her attention next time you go in and see what they say! good luck! :-)

My maltese has two rows of teeth. Some of them are her baby teeths that never came out. It makes her breaths?
stinks. They are somewhat wobbly but since she doesnt like to chew on any toys and treats they arent falling off. Her teeths are crooked and like i said her breath smells bad!! Like rotten fish. Its unbearable. My question is can it be possible for me to take her teeth out by myself? Or do i need to take her to the vet to have it done. Or should i just let if falls off by itselfs? She will be one year next month and their not falling out.
--She was a dog from a puppy mill and i have spent well over $3,600 trying to save her life. Skin problem, yest infections,ear infections etc.

i think its really sweet and really kind of you to spend so much on her especially because of were she came
from..
my poodle x has terrible breath to. it can be fixed if you brush her teeth every day. gum disease is really bad and can lead to heart problems take her to the vets for her check up and you can ask the vet then!
Reply:If she is already one, they most likely will not fall out on their own. You can not do this by yourself either.
She needs to see a vet, he can pull the retained puppy teeth, and make sure there are not other dental issues that would be causing the bad breath. She will have to be put under anasthesia (sp?) to have this done.
If she hasnt been spayed yet, the vet may be able to pull her teeth while she's being spayed, so she only has to go under once.
Reply:if you have any problems with your pet, you should definitely go to the vet, since they are professionals and they know what they're doing. the cause of the bad smell should be because of the tartar buildup in her teeth, to alleviate that you could brush them for her. i would wait a bit longer and see if they come out on their own and encourage her to eat treats and to chew on toys and see if that helps with the process, so that they will fall out naturally and you won't have to intervene.
Reply:If she isn't already spayed, the vet can remove them at the time she is spayed, and it will cost far less.
They NEED to be removed.
The bacteria that is making her breath foul can actually kill her
Reply:take her to the vets if ur really worried u dont want to give her an infection but if shes only one give her time to grow n let them fall out them selves it may not even b the teeth that are causing the bad breath look at wot ur feeding her. i have a maltese to n his teeth all fell out on there own but he likes chewing bones n playing with his toys maybe try her on chicken necks there really good for her teeth

Whats the worst of infected wisdom teeth?
All my wisdom teeth have been trying to come out since 2000, they are all still under the gum but mostly out however they have come out a bit rotten, anyway for the last year one is harassing me and is getting worst as it keeps on breaking (about 1/4 ofa tooth left plus root) and getting infected, at the moment im taking metroindzole cause im highly allergic to penacilin.
For this week again i have ongoing ear and headacke as well as my gum turning bright yellow but not hurting, whats the worst that can happen? what should i do? the dentists an hospitals keep cancelling me cause im sickle cell anemic. Whats the worst to happen other than waiting for the root to fall out thats if i dont attempt to pull it out myself???
Whats the worst of infected wisdom teeth?
What's the worst thing? Well dental infections (bacterial infection) can lead to blood poisoning (septicemia) and this can cause serious illness, organ failure or even death.
It's unlikely, but getting blood poisoning is no laughing matter.
Antibiotics are good, when they work. But when they don't work.....then what?
If your gum is yellow, then it shows it has pus in it (Immune reaction) so your gum is infected. Your gum is connected to your blood supply.
See a doctor immediately, better still, go to your local Accident %26amp; Emergency room (casualty) and show the Doctor there. They will treat you and not ignore you.
Until then, go to your chemist/dentist and buy a super powerful anti-bacterial mouth wash and continue to brush your teeth - even if it's very painful, you must do it.
The product is called: Corsodyl
Good luck.
Reply:omg girl why dont you get them removed?????????

The pain from an infected wisdom tooth is horrific, i cant believe you are putting up with this, i would put in a complaint!!!
Reply:you might want to look into getting a lawyer if the dentist and hospitals won't help you. if your tooth just keeps rotting it can spread infection into your gums and jaw bone. you need your infected tooth extracted. asap. it sounds like the tooth was impacted and then started rotting because it wasn't cleaned properly (which is sometimes difficult to do when your tooth is impacted). get that tooth out. soon! if it's hurting your head and ears that is a bad sign. get it out.
Reply:Get them removed, it's common for wisdom teeth to be removed under general anaesthetic if they are deformed or unhealthy.
Reply:OUCH, find a dentist that will do something for you. It'll only get worse and could potentially harm your health, you could end up with blood poisoning and die. GET THEM ALL OUT. I had my wisdom teeth out 4 yrs ago and have never had any probs since.
Good luck!
Reply:Wow, you need to be more authoritative with your dentist and caring with your teeth. You do not want to get gum disease and weak teeth.

Reply:Some peoples mouths are not big enough for all their teeth, While you need to post Xrays of your teeth if you want a good answer to your question, in general when a dentist sees a wisdom tooth that is going to cause problems, the patient has 2 choices; Have it removed now, or wait 'til it causes problems.

As another said dry socket would be the first thing to think of. That is why one is supposed to swish with a saline solution here and there afterwards.
As others have said you simply MUST go to the emergency room. You could call your dentist and demand an appointment NOW as this may help you when you go to the emergency room. As I write this it is almost 3 PM on the east coast so anywhere you are you should get in. He or she could get you seen faster.
Regardless go to the hospital even if you have no insurance. The things that could happen if you don't are many...... you could actually die or be disfigured. Might be nothing and easily taken care of but why take the chance? Go to the emergency room NOW!
Reply:Sounds like dry socket. What that means is the area got very dry and it has possibly made it infected. See your dentist right away.
Reply:you need to get to an emergency room and quick, you have an infection and it could easily spread to your brain. Don't wait another second......MOVE.
Reply:It sounds like you got an infection and you need to get to the ER NOW!
You can lose nerve function in your face (facial droop) if you don't!
Read the instructions they sent you home with and you will see they say to get to a Doctor if redness or swelling happens.
Reply:My goodness you probally have an infection which can spread through out your body.Please get back to dentist and see what is what.

Got my wisdom teeth pulled out 2 days ago and something is realy wrong here.?
As another said dry socket would be the first thing to think of. That is why one is supposed to swish with a saline solution here and there afterwards.
As others have said you simply MUST go to the emergency room. You could call your dentist and demand an appointment NOW as this may help you when you go to the emergency room. As I write this it is almost 3 PM on the east coast so anywhere you are you should get in. He or she could get you seen faster.
Regardless go to the hospital even if you have no insurance. The things that could happen if you don't are many...... you could actually die or be disfigured. Might be nothing and easily taken care of but why take the chance? Go to the emergency room NOW!
Reply:Sounds like dry socket. What that means is the area got very dry and it has possibly made it infected. See your dentist right away.
Reply:you need to get to an emergency room and quick, you have an infection and it could easily spread to your brain. Don't wait another second......MOVE.
Reply:It sounds like you got an infection and you need to get to the ER NOW!
You can lose nerve function in your face (facial droop) if you don't!
Read the instructions they sent you home with and you will see they say to get to a Doctor if redness or swelling happens.
Reply:My goodness you probally have an infection which can spread through out your body.Please get back to dentist and see what is what.

Dog's Teeth are Falling Out?
4 of my dog's teeth have fallen out, and I have just noticed it. Also, her breath is Horrible, like ROTTEN! What could be a cause of this? I have a Vet appt. Tomorrow, but want some type of idea.
Dog's Teeth are Falling Out?
Rotten teeth will make the breath horrible. She will undoubtly need to have her teeth cleaned, but that will have to be done under anesthesia.
She may have infections because of decaying teeth and or abcesses.
Good dental hygiene is important not only for their mouths but mouth infections can cause other things like heart and kidney problems.
Reply:How old is the dog? Has it ever had a dental cleaning?
Reply:Diet.
Her dog food is rotting her teeth. Bad breath is a sure sign of periodontal disease.
Dogs are carnivores and should be fed a species-appropriate diet. I have been feeding my dogs what they would be eating in the wild, and I have a 12 year old German Shepherd Dog with all of his teeth, and they are clean. His breath is wonderful.
Reply:Your dog probably has an oral diease of some kind. You need to speak with your vet and see if you can afford dental work for your dog. Please visit this link for more information (from my vet). Good Luck.

Reply:Just like people, dogs get dental diseases from dirty teeth. Your vet will probably recommend a cleaning and maybe some extractions.
Failure to maintain a dog's dental health can lead to other problems, like heart disease.
Reply:If your dog has never had a dental cleaning, this may be the cause. Dogs need yearly teeth cleanings, just like people. If you feed her soft food, this is probably contributing. Hard food is designed to help clean her teeth. Do you ever give her bones, rawhide, or dental treats? Any chewing action (especially on toys designed to clean teeth) will help keep her teeth clean. And finally, do you brush your dog's teeth? Most dogs can learn to tolerate teeth brushings; they have specially flavored doggie toothpaste that's non foaming and non irritating.
Hope this helps...
Reply:Decay
Although dogs do not generally have cavities in their teeth, Boomer can develop tooth problems if his diet includes soft foods that can leave debris in gum pockets at the base of the teeth. The debris leads to infections, which soften the gums and cause them to recede. Such infections cause foul breath odor, which should be a clue to visit the veterinarian. If let go, this disease can lead to tooth loss.
Tartar, a precipitate of calcium salts, builds up on teeth in hard water areas. Tartar can build up and lead to increased gum disease and, ultimately, to tooth loss.
Tartar buildup increases with age. It can be removed from teeth by rubbing with a solution of three percent hydrogen peroxide or a weak one-percent solution of hydrochloric acid. Advanced tartar buildup may require sedation of the dog and scraping with dental instruments.
Pet owners can prevent or alleviate gum decay by feeding kibbled foods and hard biscuits to scrub the teeth, by keeping soft foods that can leave debris to a minimum, by providing hard rubber or nylon toys for chewing, and by brushing Boomer's teeth a couple of times each week. When brushing teeth, use baking soda or a special toothpaste formulated for dogs, not toothpaste for humans..
Reply:If she is old, her teeth will naturally start ot fall out and the rotting smell probably has to do with the major tooth decay that is happening inside her mouth. If she is not that old, very, very foul breath can be attributed more serious diseases so its good you have a vet appt.
Reply:Your dog has periodontal disease. His gums are infected and is causing bone and tooth loss The foul smell is from infection. Your veterinarian can clean his teeth and treat the infection.
You didn't say what kind of dog you have but some breeds are more prone to dental problems.

Can an only child that has been spoiled rotten be changed into a grateful and loving human being?
I am dating a wonderful man with a rotten only child daughter aged 9. She is rude, ungrateful and the center of the universe. Her dad is a push over and fears discipline. I have raised 3 girls by myself and though they are not perfect they are polite and gracious......I had firm rules and guidelines. I adore her dad but, grit my teeth through her. I know he has to be the one to make her into a pleasant human being but, at this point is it possible?
Can an only child that has been spoiled rotten be changed into a grateful and loving human being?
It is possible that the child is jealous of you. If there are no reasons for her being rude and ungrateful and you both have tried everything else, I am sorry to say, but a good spanking might be in order.

Reply:u can try

Reply:A good hind end spanking would do the trick....
Reply:Yes it is possible but you have to see why she acts the way she does. How long has she had her dad to herself? She may be jealous. All of his time not on her now.
Reply:I realize you are just dating but his values are obviously not the same as yours. I speak from experience. It is a very difficult situation to be in. My step daughter was 4 when I met my wife in what sounds like a similar situation. I wouldn't dream of taking that on with a 9 year old. I believe she can change at 9, but if the dad isn't on board 100 percent you will be in for a lot of arguments.
Reply:I would advise against dating him...it will only get worse and you and the guy you like will constantly fight about her until you can't take it anymore...

But also -- you really don't know the whole story. She's been through stuff you know nothing about. Life is so complex these days even for nine year-olds. Sigh. If you can, try to be a loving "aunt" type person to her and see what happens.

Reply:I have 2 kids, one easy to deal with, the other, not so easy. My boyfriend, who has never had kids deals with lots of attitude from the almost 10 yo boy. So do I.
It's a tough road. You've been married before, and so he, so you must decide what you really can deal with before the daughter effects the relationship you have as adults.
You do have time off from the situation, since mom is around. Maybe try to play the game for a while, send her home all pumped up that mom gets a bag of goods for a day too.
If mom and dad speak, (doubtful), but hopeful, then maybe they can at least figure out whether the prima donna is as horrible for her mom as she is to you guys.
Dad is a pushover because he wants no hassle and wants the time with kid to be pleasant. Does he recognize that the time together is awful? If he does, then you have to decide what to do. If he doesnt, then take some steps to gently tell him he is raising a ***** and it must stop.
Good luck.

Reply:She might just act this way because she doesn't like seeing Daddy with another woman that isn't her mother. You just need to grit your teeth and act nice with her in the hopes she will come to befriend you. Try to include her in your activities and make time for her.

Teeth causing agony?
My teeth are killing me, so sensitive and the sensodyne is not helping at all. I take allot of medication and have been for a long time and i must say in the last 3 years my teeth have been so weak, they just break in half at times, they are not rotten and the dentist says they are fine but i feel like they are like glass! I have fibromyalgia could this be a factor, wondering if veneers would help. I can hardly eat or drink things unless they are luke warm :c. I am at the dentist tomorrow, should i ask about veneers? I'm only 24 and i'm sick of having fillings, it's making me scared of smiling I feel like a terminator! I brush twice a day and I don't have a sweet tooth, should I ask for a referral to the orthadontist?

veneers do not take away pain. get a rute canal, which will take away all ur pain. im sorry ur teeth are so bad =[ best of luck
Reply:yes.
Reply:you can get veneers, sure, but they aren't covered under insurance and cost about $2800 per tooth.
yikes.
Reply:Teeth don't hurt. It's the nerves in the gums that hurt. That can be because of rotten teeth or the cause could be completely unrelated. Ask your dentist to look into every possible cause of your pain, and if it's not in his department to give you a letter of referral to your doctor. (That way your doctor won't just tell you to get your teeth fixed)
Reply:You may need to see a dental specialist such as an endodontist to get to the cause of the problems.
Reply:Hope this link helps you with all information regarding your teeth.Try out http://useinfo-dentalcare.blogspot.com/ for more details.
Reply:Sounds like acid erosion. This thins teeth. Most common cause is drinking fizzy drinks especially diet ones or eating lots of fruit. It can sometimes be caused by stomach acid if you get sick alot or if you suffer from acid reflux. Fibromyalgia has nothing to do with it. Veneers involve cutting the teeth down so they will just weaken them further. Acid erosion strips the protective layer of enamel, hence the sensitivity.
Ask your dentist to prescribe duraphat toothpaste. It is high fluoride and is not available to buy over the counter. It takes up to 4 weeks to get rid of the sensitivity.

How much do fake teeth cost?
Here's the deal. There's this rope swing on a tree near our house and we swing out really far and land in a big pile of leaves. I was on the rope swing and when I came off, I landed on my sister who was in the leaves. My mouth hit her knee and messed up my teeth pretty bad. A couple were knocked out and some were broken. My mom took me to the dentist on Monday and I ended up having the cracked and broken teeth pulled out. So now my top 6 front teeth are gone. I had my molars pulled out a couple years ago cuz they were rotten and it was gonna cost too much to get them fixed. I only have 3 top teeth left, so would it be better to just get them pulled out too? My bottom front teeth are loose too and the dentist isn't sure how they're gonna be. Like he don't know yet if they'll be ok or if I'll lose them too eventually. I'm 14, so am I too young to get fake teeth? Or will I just have to have no teeth like my mom? Will guys still look at me?
How much do fake teeth cost?
Tell your parents that their Homeowners Insurance may cover the cost to replace your teeth.
You only have 3 teeth left? Save them if you can, you can use them as 'anchor' teeth if'/when you get partials.
When you get older, you can have something more permanent made...
Best of luck to you~
Reply:You poor thing. What a terrible accident, I'm so sorry.
You are not too young to get false teeth.
A bridge made of porcelain teeth is VERY expensive, but you may be able to get a payment plan from a dentist on false teeth, that include a full set of upper teeth made of plastic or a resin material. They may pull the rest of the teeth, or they may keep them and make a full partial and the existing teeth can create suction or an anchor (so to speak) to keep the teeth in better.
If you don't have dental insurance, you may want to try calling the closest dental school and supervised students can make the teeth for you at a very low cost.
Good luck to you!
Reply:aww, i'm so sorry to hear about that! well yeah the girl who answered first pretty much covered it, but i feel so bad for you! luckily, no one will probably be able to tell you even have false teeth..heck my 80 year old grandparents had them and i had no idea they did until after they told me..and yes..guys will still look at you...i dont think dentures and those "lumineers" that all the famous people get have too much difference anyway.
good luck! =]
Reply:I had all of mine pulled out when I turned 18 and it's not so bad with no teeth. If I was you I'd just get rid of the rest too. If they're not that good you'll only have to have them pulled later on. It's not like 3 teeth are really gonna do you any good. I'd rather have no teeth like I have now than just a few here and there. Besides, if you have them all out you can get fake teeth to look however you want if to. I'm not sure how much they cost tho cuz I still have just gums.
Reply:I lost my front teeth too when I was really young from a bicycle accident. I ended up just having the rest pulled and getting a full set of false teeth at 15 because the teeth I had left weren't that great and it was cheaper to just pull them all and get all false teeth. I've never been sorry I decided to just go all the way even tho when I take them out I have no teeth at all. Yes guys will still look at you and want you if you're a nice person. If you're a B**#^%26amp; it don't matter what you look like guys will still steer clear of you. I got all new teeth for like $600.00 and they're ok. Not great but ok. BTW, some guys think being able to take your teeth out is a big plus.

Should you brush your teeth very, very well before...?
your trip to the dentist, IF those teeth are being extracted? Does it come out smoother if the rotten little bugger is cleaner?
Should you brush your teeth very, very well before...?
Brushing your teeth will not make it come out smoother - it's all the same. However, it may reduce the amount of bacteria around the tooth, reducing the likelihood of an infection after the extractions.

What health problems can rotten teath cause?
I have had this problem with my teath for 10 years now, the bottom teath are fine, but the tops are rotten, decayed, cracked, chipped...I never did brush three times a day like dentist say you sould. But I do brush about 3 times a week. I hate brushing my teeth, but when i don't feel like brushing I use mouthwash instead to kill germs etc. What is any, health problems could develop from my teeth being in such bad shape...?
What health problems can rotten teath cause?
Besides what the others have mentioned I would add if you get an infection from the decay going into the nerve, that infection will be going through your whole body. Infection can kill you if left untreated.
If you keep up the tri-weekly brushing habit you have you eventually will lose your teeth. When you can't chew your food properly the food misses out on that first stage of digestion (mastication breakdown) and that makes the rest of your digestive system have to work harder.
Think about what happens to animals when they start losing their teeth...they can't eat so they die.
It's just part of the very simple plan of good health habits. If we don't follow them, we pay in someway later.

Wisdom teeth or infected tooth?
My husband has been complaining about pain in his mouth for the last several days. It's been so bad he hasn't been able to sleep through the night. He told me black stuff came off of it (I say maybe it's rotten or something because he used to be bad about brushing his teeth before we met, and he doesn't floss!) but he thinks it's his wisdom teeth finally coming in (He's almost 25!!) I just got home from work and that side of his cheek is swollen and very hot to the touch. I don't think it's wisdom teeth, I think it's an infection. Hopefully we can make it to the dentist tomorrow but does anyone have any advice or ideas? Thanks!
Wisdom teeth or infected tooth?
It's probably infected. Black stuff comming out from "anywhere" but the ground is usually not a good sign.
If it hurts and it's hot and swollen also are indicators of an infection.
Get him to a dentist asap.
Reply:err that sounds like an infection...
Reply:Infection. If its this bad you may give him some Anbesol which is topical and some Advil or Tylenol. Twenty-Five is a bit too old to get wisdom teeth. "Wisdom teeth are the third molars that usually appear between the ages of 16 and 24. " So unless he's a very late bloomer. Also the black comment makes me say infection. I currently have my wisdom teeth coming in there annoying but not as you describe. They come in very gradually.
Reply:That is an infection. See someone as soon as possible tomorrow. If the swelling goes up into his eye or into his neck and starts to conflict with his airway you need to go to the ER asap. It might not be a bad idea to call and see if you can get antibiotics tonight to get a head start on them; however you might have to go to the hospital for that but they should also be able to give him something to help ease his pain.
Reply:Sounds like an infection. For the night you could try the heating pad (NO COLD) and 2 Advil with 2 extra strength Tylenol every 4-6 hours for pain. It's what my dentist recommend I do until I could come in. However don't take it to long...only until you can see the dentist.
At 25 he should have already have gotten his wisdom's but that doesn't mean anything. I am 32 and have just gone through hell with my wisdom's. I had to have surgery to have them removed and I am just now healing from that. I didn't have anything black coming from in my mouth...just alot of pain.

Can you do a root canal if the tooth next to it is rotten and needs to be pulled ?
I don't see why not. It probably depends on if the decay from the adjacent tooth has also invaded the root canal tooth and made it too weak/fractured to 'survive' the root canal. You should talk to your dentist about it.
Can you do a root canal if the tooth next to it is rotten and needs to be pulled ?
yes it can be done pull the rotten first and let it heal
Reply:YES, AND MAYBE YOU CAN GET A BRIDGE TO REPLACE THE ROTTEN TOOTH
Reply:Yes... a root canal can be done on one tooth even if there is a problem with the tooth beside it... I do, however, recommend that you also take care of the other tooth as well.
Reply:yes

My dog's breath/mouth smells like rotten fish. is it because of teething? what can i do about it? please help.
my dog is a 5months and 14days, bichon, he is nuetered. and he just got two of his front canine teeth, but recently his breath/mouth started smelling like rotten fish. is it because of the teething? if so, what can i do? please help.
My dog's breath/mouth smells like rotten fish. is it because of teething? what can i do about it? please help.
Look in his mouth and make sure there isn't any food stuck in between the teeth and make sure the teeth look white and the gums look pink and healthy.
If those look okay, it could be something he ate.
You can try brushing his teeth with a dog toothbrush and paste that you can get at the pet store.
If you are concerned about it, see a vet.
Reply:Have you been to the vet? Sounds like his diet may not be the best. Your not feeding him Salmon, so change his food. Get Royal Canin it's formulated by breed and weight,age.
Smells wonderful the moment you open the bag.
Does he get suppliments that could cause that smell.
Petco or any good pet store sells it.
Reply:i would have his kidney functions tested.
Reply:My puppy had the same problem... Ask your vet for a liquid medication called Clinsol liquid. My vet perscribed it, instructed me in how much to give her (since she's so small), and told me to go a week on the medication. I gave her the liquid twice a day, and by the third or fourth day, I noticed that her breath wasn't smelling at all.

Teeth problems?
I have four teeth that are in bad shape. They are rotten away, broke off even with the gum, you can see the inside of the tooth? How bad is the promble? CAN IT LEAD TO CANCER?
Teeth problems?
It can't lead to cancer, but bacteria, if it goes into your blood stream can causr you heart problems. Go to a dentist get them pulled, and get some antibiotics.
Reply:nope, u wont get cancer. if u go to a dentist NOW they mite b able to fix it. other wise ull have to get them pulled out and dependin where they r, get a denture made.
Reply:CANCER BECAUSE OF THE TEETH...........NO.
EXTRACTIONS OF WHAT'S LEFT OF THOSE TEETH..... YES!
Reply:A consultation with a good dentist is the best thing for you.
Reply:Get them pulled out before they really give you big trouble, like a terrible toothache over a holiday weekend. Been there, done that and it's no fun. If they're that far gone the best thing to do is just get rid of them and any problems they're causing will go away with them.
Reply:You should deffintly go to a dentist to get that checked. If your teeth are rotten or rotting away.. That could lead to bad heath problems. Why would you wait this long to get it checked. Plus if your teeth are rotting your mouth should smell really bad.
Reply:You need to go to the Dentist ASAP!! You shouldn't play around with your teeth. Why haven't you gone to the dentist? I am guessing you don't have dental.
I didn't have any dental coverage so I started looking around and found a company that offer health benefits. This is not insurance.
It costs $11.95 a month for an individual and $19.95 a month for a entire household.
Along with your Dental you get- Free Vision, Free Prescription and Free Chiropractic care at no extra cost.
Be careful when looking into health benefits though. It's different from insurance. You need to look into the company very carefully. The company I am talking about is great. They have been in business for 14yrs members of the BBB and have over 1.5 million customers.
I really trust them in giving me good care and having lots of providers.
I sure hope your teeth get fixed. Good luck to you.

Guys, would you not date a girl because of bad teeth?
I'm very good looking and very nice. My teeth are discolored from antibiotics I took when I was younger. I rarely smile and am very depressed about this. The only solution is veneer which costs around $5000 which I don't have. Whitening procedures may help a bit but not much. I do go to a dentist twice a year and brush my teeth, it's not like they're rotten or anything. Has anyone tried crest strips? Back to the subject, no one is perfect. I'm just wondering how important perfect, white teeth are! And like I said, I
am very hot just not my teeth.
Guys, would you not date a girl because of bad teeth?
Well it's not a big problem if your trying really hard to whiten them like you are, it's only a problem when they don't care that their teeth look like baked beans.
Reply:As long as you don't have a bad breath.... its fine
Reply:yes because bad teeth are very ugly
Reply:I'm not a guy but good teeth are a must. You talk and kiss and and eat with a person and you see teeth quite a bit. Not everyone cares about teeth, even really hot guys will date a girl with gross teeth if she is still pretty, but the one thing is people jump to conclusions like you arent clean and never brush, if you like someone just explain to them why they are that way and they bug you and if the guy doesnt like it, let him walk.

Reply:Your right, no one is perfect. A cute smile with pearly whites showing tends to be on my top 3 things i look for in a female.
Reply:Have you tried rinsing with hydrogen peroxide, right from the bottle. I use it daily, and it's cheap..........If you dont mind foaming at the mouth, briefly. :)
Reply:no because thats not a big problem for me and their is always more girl then bad teeth
Reply:so are you saying you 'would' date a girl with bad teeth??
that's so sweet!!!
i think most people think white teeth are important because it means a person takes good care of their mouth. most people don't think maybe a person has discolored teeth because of medication. they just think the person doesn't take care of their mouth.
i guess from now on i'll just have to make sure it's not from neglect. because NO ONE wants to date a guy that don't take care of his mouth.
i use crest plus whitening toothpaste. have you tried white light treatments. they sell the kits at walmart now. i have used it once and it worked for me.
i hope one day you will be happy with your smile. but don't get a big head when you do. keep being a sweety.
Reply:As you are very hot, I am sure you can have secret little meetings with guys but few would like to be seen with you as their girlfriend but as your main attraction is that you are hot and not classy, educated, interesting with a good personality, once they unload you will have served your purpose. At least you can get a good night's sleep, you won't have to put up with snoring or guys farting in bed.
Reply:I would work OT and save up for the veneer. Make that your top priority. I know it sucks to have to worry so much about the surface stuff but for most people bad teeth are a hard thing to get past.
If you have a decent job you can get a loan for the procedure. If you are too young to be working tell your parents thats all you want for Christmas. Or that you'll pay them back. Can you justget the front top ones done to start with?
