r/Teethcare

yes i’m scheduling an appointment first thing tomorrow
15m
I still nurse her to sleep, and occasionally throughout the night

It started when she chipped her tooth
A month or two back
it’s gotten bigger and i noticed everywhere else

Now I don’t know how to stop. She only knows how to go to bed with a boob.

Or with somebody else

Feeling defeated

Feeling like a bad mom
please share what they were able to do for your babies teeth

It has always been recommended (that i’ve heard)from dentist, not to night feed
still if anyone has any experience please share so i can know what to expect

Dr. Recommends Root canal. Any hope to save teeth via filling? Please help

Hi, would anyone be able to tell what this is? Tooth started hurting a day ago and I feel it’s either fractured or infected. Flossed earlier tonight and some white bits came off the area.

Bottom teeth were taken out Friday and I am paranoid of dry socket/ still having a good amount of pain. I also had these marks/ bruises pop up today. My dentist said this time would be different and go expect more pain. However, I have had three breakdowns due to pain. Am I being overdramatic and is this normal, or do my gums look weird? Plus, pics of my bottoms prior to extraction

Hi, my surgeon said my implant is healed so the dentist called me and gave me an appointment for a crown. they did some scans today and they gave me this bill! I paid since i was there and i thought I have to!but now I am re-thinking about the price! Is it too high or is it in normal range?! Please let me know.

Thanks

The white bit that was on it yesterday is now gone as seen in pictures, its been a week as of today and theres zero pain

First 2 pics are 2 days ago, 3rd is yesterday and the rest are from today. Is this normal? Was it just food particles stuck in the clot?

Was told to do marpe. Freaked out and cancelled operation today. Planning to get braces removed as well. Doesn’t seem like I have other options though and this would have been the best time for marpe.

the x-ray is from a year ago from when i got my root canal on my other tooth.

a big portion of the crown of my teeth on one of my back lower teeth is gone like it's missing so there's a big hole there now but it only hurts a lot like a lot when food gets in or when i brush a bit too deep in that tooth but its been there for a year so i just haven't been chewing on that side of my mouth

it has gotten bigger like i feel like the whole top of my tooth is going to disappear and my nerve is just gonna be out and i'm really scared

i just got braces yesterday, and my dentist put a bracket that tooth so i don't think she will extract it any time soon. i already have a root canal on one of my teeth on the opposite side and it hurt like hell (physically and financially) so i am really scared of having to experience a root canal if ever.

my dentist recommended that she "pasta" or filled it in but she didn't do an x-ray before putting my braces in so i think she just went off how it looked.

i plan on chatting to her about it tomorrow since i'm not due for an appointment in a month and i already feel bad for my mom because she didn't know that i was already going to get braces yesterday, she and i were told that it was going to be a check-up only and it ended up being expensive and i feel really guilty already. we don't have insurance and i'm a minor idrk how this works.

plz help what should i do

hi! so i’m seeing a dentist on tuesday, but i’m really panicking in the meantime. i grind my teeth pretty severely and i always have. lately, all of my teeth have been sort of aching, which prompted me to make the appointment. i have only ever had one cavity in my life when i was 13 (i’m 29 now), and i don’t remember how it felt.

when i was brushing my teeth tonight, i was anxiously looking for signs of cavities in my bottom teeth. for the first time in a while, i tried to check my top teeth, and noticed some darkness in my upper right molar. my cavity from when i was a kid was in my upper molar at the very back, but i can’t remember which molar it was.

could this be a cavity? a lost filling? something from grinding my teeth? should i go to an emergency dentist tomorrow? i’ve never really had dental trouble and i’m more than a little scared. any guidance or input would be so appreciated. thank you so much.

I’m 18 years old and I cannot stop thinking about the day I’m going to lose my teeth because of GERD. My teeth were fine until I did Invisalign and acid and food kept shooting up into my aligners and getting trapped constantly. My orthodontist and dentist never once caught on during my treatment until I moved to a new dentist. I had a long streak of cavities after finishing my treatment, I can’t even remember how many, I think it was like 10??? + i got 3 when I was younger. Anyways, my dental checkup isn’t for a while so I wanted to know what y’all think about my teeth and whether they are going to fall out anytime soon.

I apologize for the scary pictures. Also, last pic is with flash so that saturates things more because everything is glossy from saliva. I tried to take helpful pictures.

Alittle irritation around the gums, just getting over an infection under where that tooth was pulled

(FIRST PIC IS BEFORE EXTRACTION OF THE CAVITY, IT WAS INTO THE NERVE BTW! ALL OTHERS ARE FROM TODAY)

I got it taken out on Tuesday, may 5th and it doesn't hurt or anything, it feels a bit like theres pressure around the center right now but it doesn't feel empty. its been 5 days, 6 as of tomorrow around like 6pm I would say.

I recently posted asking if it was dry socket and was told by people in replies that it's not, but I still want to make sure it's healing properly! Ive been doing google image searches of pictures i take daily of it, and everything that pops up is the AI overview saying its a normal healing socket after a tooth extraction, but i dont want to trust the AI for obvious reasons.

I will add that ive been taking z-pac antibiotics (not sure the proper name) since the day after I got it extracted and only have one left to take tomorrow. I brushed my teeth yesterday with non fluoride toothpaste and avoided the extraction site of course, & ive been swishing with salt water gently

I have had crowded and crooked teeth my whole life and i’m 16 now. I’ve been promised braces since i was 12 but every year they say i’m ”one year to young”. My gums get crushed and the hurt but i never seem to get help. I’ve been to private and public dentist but they don’t help me. I barley talk because i’m so ashamed and scared to get made fun of.

Here are my teeth, don’t judge me i already feel so bad about them.

I'm a heavy smoker and don't brush my teeth regularly. idk if this is just some sort of plaque buildup or something worse.. please lmk
