My husband and I have been TTC for 7 months now,this month we have been intimate every other day and praying that we have done it this time. I am not due for my period until the end of this month (next week), and the last 2 nights my gums have bled a little. I brush and floss regularly and thought this was odd. I googled the symptom and found that others who were 3 and 4 weeks pregnant have had the same issue. Has anyone else experienced this early on in pregnancy or know anything about it ?

I had a root canal and a crown fitted over one of my back molars. I can feel sensitivity to cold and hot foods, and sometimes when I floss, bits of food particles come out from the edge of the crown. so since the tooth remaining in the crown is exposed to all this, is it possible that it’s rotting away??

Or is that tooth stump essentially dead, since all the nerve endings were removed in the root canal? can it still rot even though it’s ‘dead’?

Im only 17 and am taking something to get rid of the infection and swelling, But i dont know how long this takes to see a difference.
I am being treated for it. The weird part is I brush my teeth 3 times a day I floss and use mouth wash. I need to know when I will see some results.

ok, during march I think I went to the dentist and found out I had two cavities in the exact same teeth on the top, either side of my mouth. I didn’t know how they got there as I always brush my teeth. The dentist however said that all my other teeth were fine.

I took her advice and have been using mouthwash and flossing but this morning I woke up and my tooth was feeling strange. Then when eating breakfast I accedently bit down on my spoon with tht tooth and it was so painful. I can eat with it but it hurts if I breathe in through my teeth and feels exactly like when I had the rotten tooth drilled away.

The tooth that hurts is on the bottom left and I think is the third molar, so I believe its my wisdom tooth (im only 14 btw)

I really dont want another filling though as my mum has to pay for me to have white fillings instead of mercury ones so she has to pay about £60 per filling and therefore has already spent £120 on my fillings before and I feel really bad. (i can get mercury fillings for free on the NHS but I don’t want horrible looking silver teeth and my mum doesn’t want me having the mercury ones incase they leak or whatever.

Ok so my main questions are, does it seem like I have tooth decay and what could have caused this as I brush my teeth twice a day, rinse with mouth wash and floss sometimes.

Thanks for ne serious answers and sorry for the long question. P.S. I will give 10 points

All i did is brush with peroxide mixed with water, and floss every day. What does peroxide do to kill the bacteria?
