Sorry I know nothing about teeth, but my furthest back teeth feel different than my other teeth so I was curious if they were okay. I went to the dentist a year ago and they mentioned keeping an eye on certain things (dentist to the tech?) but i didn’t understand the dentist-talk. Thanks in advance!
I just got composite bonding done. I dont know how they look. Please give objective rating. Thanks.
I’ve been checking out a few:
usmile – looks nice, long battery life, but has few reviews
Bitvae – cheap, multiple settings, but worried about durability
Waterpik – the classic. Some love it, some say cordless versions have battery issues
Coslus – affordable, lots of settings, but is it well built? Easy to clean?
MySmile – strong pressure and multiple smart features, not sure if it actually works well
What I need: 1. powerful and cleans well; 2. easy to clean and maintain; 3. good battery (cordless); 4. lasts longer than a few months
If you’ve used any of these long-term, let me know how it went. Or what you’d recommend instead.
Happened about 30 min ago. She hates the dentist and really doesnt want to go. I believe this is the dentin layer of her tooth thats exposed. She has a little pain that comes and goes, says its almost like a pinching sensation.
Professional teeth alignment solutions have come a long way, offering patients more comfort, convenience, and effectiveness than ever before. Whether you are dealing with minor spacing issues or complex bite problems, modern orthodontics provides a solution tailored to your needs.
I had a teeth cleaning. The hygienist bumped my front tooth decently hard with their metal electric toothbrush.
It was sore and aching. I mentioned to my dentist whom checked it out. He didn’t really say much.
It’s still somewhat sore and aching even after taking advil.
What’s your advice for this?

My sister has been seeing black spots forming in the surface of her teeth and on the back side of her teeth. She doesn’t smoke and doesn’t take any iron supplements as well. Everytime she gets it professionally cleaned, they start re appearing in a week or so. She’s also brushing twice a day these days and nothing has been working. It’s reducing her confidence while smiling or speaking to others
Really just hope someone can change my perspectives.
Ive never had to have any drilling done on any teeth, but ive had two teeth extracted. im 40 years old. Having the teeth extracted was disgusting, i relive those two days every day almost.
No amount of checkups or hygienist appointments make me feel better. The moment i leave the door after the check up, all i ever feel like is being one day, or one more appointment closer to the day when something does have to be extracted or drilled.
It makes me feel immensely sad and it really does dominate all my thoughts. Ive never once felt happy or proud of being told im ok.
I dont feel this way about the doctor, physio, medical profession in general, only dentists.
How do I get over these feelings? Id really rather not keep going and just having a reason to be stressed in my life i dont want or need.
I got braces yesterday. Its been uncomfortable and hard to eat but not too painful. I have a deep bite, crowding on my lower teeth, and a straggle tooth right next to my two front top teeth. My two front top teeth point slightly downwards. I noticed the braces touch those too and the brackets if thats what they're called, are at the bottom of the teeth. It looks like its pushing the teeth down more. Is this normal? Should I go back to my ortho about this?
Also, I noticed that in the bottom row theres like, a tube in the middle part of the wire and It is kinda painful when i try to rest my teeth. Is that normal? I also feel so weird bc the sides of my teeth dont touch so it feels impossible to chew even with the back teeth. I just want to know if this is concerning enough to go back to my ortho.
I noticed the past week I’ve had this white flowery circle with red in the middle. At first it looked like it was going away, but started to come back or maybe I’m seeing things 😭 and now today there’s a bump next to it that’s right under one of my tooth.
I will note I use to vape. I vaped for 6 years. I also have a few cavities (which I’ve struggled financially to see a dentist) so maybe it has something to do with my bad teeth, biting my cheek, vaping or all of the above 🥺 I just need to know if anyone knows what this is and if it’s serious 😩
Noticed a sharp edge on one of my teeth and realised the thing is chipping away. Brushed my teeth and small bits of enamel came off, really worried.
**please note tooth in question is on the right hand side
I went into the dentist last week because my jaw is hurting where I had teeth removed years ago and was told I need to have all my teeth removed and get a full set of dentures. Tomorrow I have an appointment with a different dentist to get a second opinion. Anyway it makes me very anxious that I might have to have this done before the age of 35. Has anyone been through this and what was your experience
Hey so I'm not sure what is going on with my teeth.
I feel like I take decent care of them, water pik, manual brushing after meals( trying not to over brush). I don't eat refined sugar and avoid sweets altogether. I only drink water, tea, sometimes coffee. I try to not sip, but consume within an hour. I drink lots of water!
I noticed some transparency a few weeks ago so I got some xylitol gum( I did some light research and from what I've gathered, its supposed to help) and have been trying to use that between meals. I also use a fluoride mouthwash before bed.
These marks showed up and they look almost porous? I'm freaking out a bit and it's going to be a while until I can get in to see a dentist. I've never had many teeth issues, just some cavities from overconsumption of sweets in adolescence.
Someone help me I am so stressed. These like dark marks are new and the transparency I only noticed a few weeks ago!
