What foods and drinks are bad for your teeth? What food and drinks should I wait at least 30 minutes before I brush my teeth so it isn't so bad on my enamel? I've read that a lot of fruits ph level is low so are they highly acidic? Should I wait at least 30 minutes to brush if I've had fruit (apple, strawberries, blueberries) or fruit juice like orange juice or apple juice or after eating tomatoes? I have not been good at taking care of my teeth throughout my life and I want to take care of my teeth. Please help me with any information you have! Thank you!View Thread
I had developed an infection under my molar that had previously had a root canal done on it. This caused the tooth to decay, and the cap to fall off. I have had only fragments of the molar left for a year now.I was planning to get it removed once flu season is over. I have a tiny bit of tooth on one side and the other had a slight piece of a tooth, the rest is in the gum. I have been gargling with warm salt water daily. I bit on it the other day (I never chew on that side),and noticed that the tooth sunk a bit into the gum and now the one side that had a tiny piece of a tooth, is into the gum, the other side is the same. It's not hurting me. Is that possible?
Also, seeing as this is the bottom first molar, what can I expect bleeding wise? My dentist doesn't want to stitch it, and I am terrified of it getting a dry socket, and having this large hole (food gets in there as it is). I can't afford a replacement tooth, so I plan to just let it heal over. Is it possible for it to be stitched? My wisdom teeth were all stitched up.
Thank youView Thread
They've lasted for a week or so.
Lately I've gotten them, on my tongue, and had one on my Whartons Duct, under the tongue, but they've only lasted a couple of days. My tongue has some tiny red dots at the tip and up the right side about half way.
The gums behind my teeth are sometimes slightly raw, but not sure if it's my tongue that's raw.
Lastly - I've noticed some red dots on the inside of my cheek, they come and go with in a day, not raised, not sore.
Could this all be stress related?
Any idea?View Thread
Unfortunately, when the dentist removed the braces, he cleaned the glue-like substance remnant on my teeth. He drilled it too much, causing my teeth become yellowish.
I'm very sad, because before wore braces, my teeth are normal except the gap. And after braces removal the dentist made me have 4 crowns on my upper incisors and yellow canines.
The left yellow canine is too different. Many people ask about it and it's irritating me. I don't want to have my teeth being crowned again.
Is there any drug or food to help me grow my enamel back to normal?View Thread
Any opinions or help are greatly appreciated.
