Dental questions & answers
- -
I really like to have nice fresh breath but I'm currently using the Original Sensodyne which doesn't taste that great. I just spotted something on here from a dental nurse saying not to use mouthwash as it damages teeth? Is this true? And if it is, is there any other way to get nice fresh breath without it? I usually use a strong mouthwash twice a day so I'd love to know if I shouldn't be doing so.

What is the best brand/kind of dental floss to use to prevent the progression of periodontal disease? I believe flat dental tape is best because it gets down under the gumline more. Right now I'm using Glide regular. Are there any better kinds/brands? Thanks

I had perfect teeth for years. When I was 8 I chipped my tooth and the dentist lasered the chipped part back on and the tooth lasted me 14 years. A few motnhs back I hit the same tooth and it chipped on the exact same spot. I was out of town and went to a dentist there and the next thing I know my tooth is being shaved down and I have an ugly temp crown on it. I was very distraught and upset and ended up going to my dentist back home and he was just as bad. Now it has been 2 months and I have a terrible/poor fitting porcelain crown on my front tooth. It is much too white and was not placed correctly. My gum line is ruined and I have lost all confidence in my smile. What options do I have to fix this? I could kill myself for not just waiting and going home with the tooth instead of being talked into a crown is the only option fix. Can they remove this crown? Is it possible to fix the gum line? Is it possible to match the injured front tooth to the exact shade of my other? I am looking for any advice.

I have an outstanding balance with a dentist that will be 90 days late according to next dentist statement. I hope the dentists don't have software that automatically sends it to the credit report after 90 days. Or do they have to send it to collections first? What do you think?

In the movie, The Beautiful Truth, they showed a 50 year old dental filling that was out-gassing mercury? After 50 years, how does it have enough material to out-gas? At what point does it run out of material? The filling is pretty small in the first place.
Any ideas? Thank you.

In the movie, The Beautiful Truth, they had a special filming technique to see mercury gas escaping from a 50 year old tooth. Naturally, I could call my dentist, however, they don't really have an incentive to be forthcoming with information.
Any thoughts? Thank you.

I am a 31 old male. I was diagnosed with gingivitis last month. I am due to have 3 or 4 hygienist sessions at my dentist (at my NHS dentist in the UK) to remove some hardened calculus from the teeth. I have been told to brush twice a day for at least 5 seconds per tooth (back and front), floss daily and use inter-dental brushes for the larger gaps. I am also on my second bottle of Corsodyl mouth wash (used twice a day).
If I can maintain this kind of regime, how long is it before I can see an improvement? Also will the receeding red gums go back to their original position and turn pink again or is the damage permanent?
I am also a heavy drinker and smoker which have no doubt contributed to this problem. However, apart from staining, I have been told that my teeth are in very good condition.
Thank you.

I read somewhere that they put adrenaline in dental anthesia... if so I was just wondering why.. I mean adrenaline makes your heart beat faster, you shake etc so why would you put this in an anthestic??

I have a dental abscess and I have been to the dentist and was prescribed the anti-biotic Augmentim. it normal for the pus from a dental abscess to continue to seep out a little from the gum even after the dentist had cleaned out and filled the affected tooth a few hours earlier. Is it safe to gently help the fluid out yourself with your finger or leave it where it is?

Hi I recently had a dental visit and the dr noticed white lesions on my tongue and has referred to a Oral Surgeon for Biopsy.
My insurance covers only 50% of the costs with a oral surgeon and I just wanted to check what will be the cost for a biopsy with a oral surgeon.
Thanks for all your answers
TY doctor, but is the out of pocket expense for consultation or the biopsy itself?

I have experienced adverse reactions to the local anesthetics used by my dentist on my last two visits. Two different medications were used, and have never experienced reactions like this with the previous use of these drugs. The numbness seemed to spread high into my facial area including my eye and forehead. I then had feelings of disorientation, followed my severe drowsiness. I am pretty sure my heart rate was down to almost nonexistent. The first time (septicaine) the reactions seemed more severe and they actually had to put me on oxygen. The second time (carbocaine) the reactions seemed slightly less severe, but I was also more aware of my breathing and was probably calmer. I have had strong reactions to general anesthesia and other drugs like antihistamines, but have never experienced any reactions at the dentist office before. Any clue as to why I would suddenly and repeatedly react to this way to medicines I have used before?

They also gave us information regarding another person. The insurance companies have NO permission to give or seek information from each other. Do we have a case? If so, what kind of lawyer do we need?
