Tooth whitening?




What remedies do you recommend for tooth whitening? I’m a student so cant afford to get them whitened at the dentist, i use a brand whitening toothpaste, brush my teeth twice a day and floss regularly. I just want something cheap to get a dazzling smile :D

Porcelain Veneers?




Hello everyone. I had a question regarding porcelain veneers. I was thinking about getting them but had a question. I heard that the veneers last about 15-20, then you have to replace them. Well, do the veneers just start chipping away? Do they start to fall off? I don’t get it. Is it something that happens underneath the veneers that others can’t see? I would hate to get them if after 10 years, it visibly starts chipping or something. I would appreciate info from anyone that knows. Thank you

I had 3 veneers & 1 crown placed (teeth # 7-10) and started having problems after the installations. #7 (the crown) also abcessed. I have a pocket between my 2 front teeth and a larger one between #7 & 8. I am scared! I am on Peridex and antibiotiocs now, and more pockets are forming. Can my gums return back to normal? Please help!

Tooth??




I have an evil tooth. Yes, evil. It has black and rotten on one side and it stinks! My mouth smells of rotting teeth. For those who do not know what rotting teeth smells like then imagine bad breath multiplied by 1000 then rolled in dog crap. Then you are close. Thank God my girlfriend didn’t notice.

Anyway, it is already loose but will not come out however hard I twist, pull, yank etc. What can I do? Yes, I still have milk teeth. I am 13.
I also went to the dentist yesterday and he didn’t say anything about it. It F***KING reeks!

What is the worst part of getting a root canal?




I went to the dentist today to get a filling and found out I needed a root canal, I think the dentist did the first part (killing the nerve or something like that). I’m supposed to get the root canal done tomorrow. So I was wondering what’s the worst part of getting a root canal? And how long does it take?
