what would be the pain. needles?
Answer:
If you see pink on the inside part of a chipped tooth, then that's very deep. Chances are very high that you'll need a root canal, and then probably a crown.My advice would be to get it done NOW, before the pain starts - believe me, there will be much less pain (maybe even no pain) if you treat it before the tooth starts to ache.

What should one do in one day to have the best dental health?
I brush twice a day and use hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash twice a day. I also floss every other day and sometimes I use salt water as a mouthwash.
Answer:
Brush after every meal. Don;t let the bacteria get started.
Floss once a day. 24 hours is how long it takes for the second layer to form on teeth.
If you use hydrogen peroxide for a while, the papilla of the tongue will hypertrophy. Not a good thing. Salt water is fine.
Mouthwashes do dot help much. The bacteria multiply to former levels so quickly that there is not time enough to do good. On the other hand, most do not hurt anything.
Reduce sugars. Carbohydrates are the substrate that bacteria need. If there is no substrate, there can be no problem.
buy an oral irigator they are awsome
You've got everything I do beat! Good luck with your teeth.
To have perfect dental health - do not drink any soda or sugary juices. That eats away your teeth enamel.Brush 2 times a day and floss once. Use a mouthwash (or the hydrogen perox) and try to stay away from too much sugar.
You should drink much limoo he helps to keep enaf bekteria in mouth
Wow! You must have very healthy teeth and gums. The only thing, instead of flossing every other day, floss every night.
Happy smiles to you.
Haha... you sound like your fine... Some advice though, try brushing three times a day,the Listerine Mouthwash two times a day, floss everyday, and don't hesitate to use Crest Whitestrips...
Sometimes you can do all that and have the worst dental health, depending on your genetic make up..

WaterPix are great, you could get a Sonicare - if you don't already have one - those are great. Also, use a tongue cleaner, you can buy toothbrushes with them on now and save some money. The Colgate 360 works great. Flossing and rising is great. And because you didn't mention it, visit the dentist every 6 months.
brush 3 X a day and rinse with listerine...its icky tasting but works.
Floss everyday instead of every other day. And keep up w/dental cleanings. =)

What should I do to get rid of cavity in the making?
It is BETWEEN teeth and I want easy ways to prevent this from becoming a full cavity.
Answer:
You have a very good dentist it sounds like. He is not in the business of making a bunch of $$$ but is looking out for your health. NO filling is as good as a natural tooth and yes, incipient decay can be reversed. Would you believe that your own little body can take care of this by itself? All you have to do is keep this area clean by brushing and flossing.how simple is that? Just be sure to use a fluoride toothpaste and it wouldn't hurt to use a fluoride mouthrinse also to give you body a helping hand. Good luck!
You should go to the dentist and get it filled. I dont think there is anyway to prevent it from getting bigger after its already started.
Sorry.
It dont hurt to get them filled though.
Brush 2xper day, and floss. If it is already a cavity. Then you need to get it fixed. Decay only spreads and will contaminate your other teeth. Decay is a bacteria in your mouth that once it is there it is always there. If you drink soda's or juices only drink them with your meals. Water as much as possible. You can use ACT over the counter at bedtime after flossing, and brushing. Then rinse with ACT.Do not rinse with water after, just let it adhere to your teeth. Chew gum with Xylitol after meals. It is a good sugar that eats the bad bacteria that cause decay. Be careful not to chew it too much though because it can make your stomach hurt.
I'm in the same situation. I didn't even know it was there until my check up. My dentist tells me to get it filled now.My friends have told me to use Listerine and Listerine w/ Flouride, which may help.Wish me luck - it's my first cavity.
If it's not a cavity yet, just a decalcified area try using Arm and Hammer's new toothpaste that has liquid calcium in it. I can't remember the exact name, just look for the "liquid calcium" on the box. You MUST floss it in between the teeth every day for it to have the effect you want. Another option is to get a fluoride gel from your dentist and floss it in between. Cut out chewing gum and drinking cokes. The sugar and acid content in these lead to decay..
You can't, once it starts it can't be gotten rid of without a filling. Think of cavities like bugs, they just keep spreading when you feed them. The feed off sugars, natural and refined. Go to the dentist.

What should i do if my back tooth cracks and aches?
Answer:
This happened to me a few years ago, so I know from personal experience what you are going through. It aches!You will need to get in to see a dentist as soon as possible! You may need a root canal if the area in and around the tooth is very sensitive to hot and cold. (Especially cold). You will most likely need a crown. Hopefully the tooth is not too badly cracked and it can be saved (by placing a crown over it). The root canal (if the dentist feels that it's needed), is done first by either your dentist or an oral surgeon (dental specialist).Then after that, your regular dentist will fit you for the crown and begin the procedure to have the crown constructed (to fit over your existing tooth) and try and match the color as close as possible. He places a temporary crown over the existing cracked tooth to alleviate the pain. The new crown takes about 10 days-2 weeks to be made.You may be lucky, cost wise, and just need the crown done. That's not a painful procedure. The root canal is an uncomfortable procedure, but the specialist will administer Novocaine. Your other option is to have the rest of the tooth extracted. If the densitst feels the cracked tooth cannot be saved, he will go over all of your options. If you don't need a root canal, then the pain should subside after the cracked tooth is removed. Most dentists prefer to try and save the tooth. But, usually the pain you are experiencing is from the roots of the tooth being exposed and sensitive to hot and cold elements that you drink or eat. So, watch drinking anything too cold! And don't eat ice cream!In the meantime for the pain, I took Advil every 8 hours for the pain. A soon as the Advil wore off though, the pain came back. Advil worked for me until I could get in to see the dentist. Just don't overdose on it! Otherwise, the dentist would have to prescribe a stronger pain pill for you. Once the root canal is done, (again, if needed), or a temporary crown put in place, the pain is gone, (while you wait for the permanent crown) (Thank goodness!)You're going to get another toothache though, when the dentist tells you how much it will all cost. It's not cheap. I had dental insurance at the time, and it still cost me a fair amount of money for my share of the costs. The root canal, for instance, was $450.00 each (I needed two) for my share. The crowns (I needed three) were $350.00 each for my share. This will give you an idea. Hopefully you have dental insurance. If not, most dentists will work with you with payments, because you don't go in for all the work at at one time.I hope I have helped you. I really feel for your pain. Take care and good luck to you.
DENTIST MAYBE I DONT KNOW CALL ME CRAZY
you need to get to a dentist and they will either pull it or put a cap on it. In the meantime you can buy over the counter dental sealant at the drug store.
I agree with Joey. What are you waiting for?
Go to the Dentist and get it capped, but if you can't afford the Dentist I suggest the Following. Orajel, Morphine, Lora tab, Rum, Gin, or Ever Clear.
I think they call those people that fix that kind of problem a DENTIST.but i may be wrong.
Shoot yourself, the pain will go away.
You need to get medical/Dental help Bub.
The thing can abscess, cause Mucho Infection! Could possibly cause Blood infection!, Mighty close to your brain, I have heard several horror stories about neglecting that kind of trauma.
Im not a Dentist but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.Have a seat and say...aaahhhh
I've had this happen to me twice, I actually chipped my front tooth (hockey) and had a recapping done. When this happens it means you will likely have to have a root canal. Everyone says they are horrible but they are really not that bad especially if you go with the sedation route. Don't let the problem linger. it will only cause for a longer procedure wen it comes time to get the drill.
See your dentist!
Most likely need to have it extracted...
What should I do for a really bad tooth ache?
Please offer some advice. I feel very ill. My dentist will not be back until Thursday, and he been out for two weeks. I been in so much pain. Thank you in advance.
Answer:
I would say that you should go to the hospital or to another dentist ASAP. If your tooth or gum is infected that is not a good thing for you body. The infection can spread and rage through your body getting you really sick. The dentist usually will prescribe penicillin or some other antibiotic for you at first. They will not even work on you tooth until you are finished the pills. They will also prescribe a painkiller stronger than something over the counter like a Tylenol with codeine. Not trying to scare you but get to a Dr. asap. i should know! I'm going to be one :)
I would try Tylenol and Motrin or Advil. Also, try Orajel or Anbesol. Those are some "quick fixes" until you can get the bigger problem fixed.
my dad always used cloves for his toothaches. It seemed to work for him.
try another dentist. ask a friend for a recommendation. you shouldn't wait that long to have it looked at.
Your Doctor should have someone covering for him. Ambesol will help. Also tray mouthwash with Listerine.
take ice water ..but mak sur u don get fever
You can go to another dentist that is in your location or in your insurance policy provider or you can use tylenol and orgel.. Sears takes walkins also, that is if you have one nearby.
hi maria .nothing worse than a tooth ache try rubbing cloves on your gums take a couple of panadole and and a warm flannel or hot water bottle on your face...good luck
If your dentist is away and doesn't have anyone covering for him in his absence, get off the computer and go to the emergency room! Sounds like you need antibiotics asap...By the time your dentist returns, your infection should be under control and he/she should be able to evaluate the tooth and recommend/perform treatment.Good luck!
Press an ice pack to your face, and/or use a pain reliever like ibuprofen or naproxin. I, personally, have no luck with OTC oral anesthetics like Orajel; they tend to wear off extremely quickly when I use them.
you have to go to another doctor, or live with the pain...go to another doctor!
Go to walgreens or rite aid and get some orajel for adults and put it on the end of a toothpick and place it directly on the pain.
Been, there, done, that.

What should I do for a chipped tooth?
Answer:
Go to the dentist they can fix it.
Get it fixed by a good dentist to make it look like it was never chipped.
Go to the dentist and they can fix it. You will most likely need to get a crown.
Chip the same exact tooth on the other side of your mouth so that you look symmetrical.
Go and get it bonded and fixed. It isn't that expensive, but if you wait too long it could get a cavity or worse yet lose most of it then it is gonna be expensive to fix. A stitch in time saves nine.
try the aspirin trick. put an aspirin "on" the target tooth hold there for 15 to 20 minutes (you may need to replace aspirin tablet as it disolves). this will kill the nerve and you can go about your business 'til you can get to a dentist. (wich is an eventual must)
What should I do about the sores in my mouth?
I often get lots of canker sores in my mouth at one time. I've tried salt water, tea tree oil and chloraseptic. None of it works!! I need any remedies you have for me! Thank You!!
Answer:
There is a product I use that works really well. It is called Gly-Oxide. It is peroxide based. Apply it directly to the sore and let it sit for around 20 to 30 seconds to let the peroxide work on the area. You can actually apply it several times. It helps if you dry the area with a q-tip first. Hope this helps.
stop eating what ever spicy /acidic food like you have been eating
i've also heard if you swish some maalox over the sores it can help ..
don't eat spicey foods and put toothpaste on it everyday and don't bit the inside of your mouth that is what makes the sore.
After suffering with long-lasting canker sores for decades, I talked with my dentist about 10 years ago and he suggested I try taking Lysine (an amino acid, found in the vitamin/supplements section of any drugstore). I take 500 mg per day, and I've had almost NO canker sores since - even when they seem to be developing, they typically heal over within the same day. It doesn't work for everyone, but it's definitely worth a try. The cost is low, and since it's a natural amino acid there are no downsides.
For short term relief you can mix liquid Benedryl with Kaopectate in a 50/50 mix. Swish for thirty seconds and spit. The Benedryl has an anesthetic affect on the sores. For the long term try Rembrandt tooth paste. This will help you keep from getting the canker sores, also talk to your dentitst about laser therapy on the sores. This will decrease the pain and increase the healing time, as well as help keep you from getting them in the same place. Good Luck.
OWWWWWWWWW!! that has gotta hurt! what i did was I put alum on it, it stung so much for like 20 seconds but then it didn't hurt and then when I ate food i put the food on the sore it didn't hurt! well i hope you use my help it worked all the time!
