What's the average cost for braces given the estimate of 3 years of wear?
Answer:
Well I can tell you I got my braces a week ago on Wed. They really hurt in the beginning just so you know. Today is the first day I tried to eat anything even close to solid food. My braces are $4,700. It doesn't matter how long you wear the braces, but what exactly you need done. I just have really crooked teeth with no cross-bites or anything so I am really basic, and I am still looking at a lot of money. I am scheduled to have my braces on for 18 mts. Good luck :) Oh and p.s. I had to put $1000 down, plus $1000 in insurance, and my payments are $150, a month :)
We did two kids at $3200 and $3,000.
Different areas have different pricing. In my town its about $4000 and above.
It cost me $5000 in Ca. But it'll depend on the treatment and varies from dentist to dentist. =)

Whats something i could do to make my teeth straight fast? if i get braces it would be like 3 years !!?
help plz
Answer:
well braces or invisaline is kind of your only option.depends on how bad your teeth are.invisaline takes longer! you could go to the dentist and ask him about veneers.its like filling in the gap..or u can get your teeth capped to fill in the gaps...i have braces and its not that bad...got them in october and about to get them taken off
There's only one other option. Get veneers, pull your teeth out and replace them with fakes.
the fastest would be to knock them out and get implants or dentures. same day procedure
You could have them all pulled and get Dentures, that'll only thake a few weeks.
Braces is the only way to go. No other way is safe. Better late [and safe] then never.
no no pulling involved
ask your dentist about INVISALINE(en-visa-line)
you'll be quite surprised at the transformation
but it takes just as long or longer to fix them that way
without orthodontics, the quickest way to make the teeth appear straight would be with veneers. However, if there is overlapping of the teeth, some amount of tooth modification, drilling, will be needed. www.lumineers.com, shows before and after photos. your best bet is to do the ortho...

What's good for bad breath?
What can I take to elimated my bad breath problem.
Answer:
proper oral hygiene. brush regularly, preferably after meals. use mouthwash. have regular dental check ups. and watch the food that you eat.
Brushing your teeth and tongue, mouthwash, mints, a stick of gum... Take your pick.There aren't any long-term treatments or cures. You just gotta handle it as it comes.
use mouthwash constantly
I would try getting a toothbrush that has a tongue cleaner.
A mouthwash.
Sugar-free gum gets rid of pieces of food in between your teeth and leaves a minty fresh smell.
brushing your teeth and using a good antibacterial mouthwash three times a day will usually deal with any halitosis. If this doesn't work for you, you may want to consult a dentist, you could have a disease process working against you.
Brush your toung. And whatever you do NO SMOKING. Smoking makes the worst mouth odor in the universe.Try lightly brushing gums too.
I said lightly!!
Brush and floss twice a day. Stay away from garlic and onions. Eat yogurt with live cultures every day. It helps aid digestion and breaks down enzymes in your digestive tract.
Look for a product from BreathRX. The company manifactures this device that you use to scrape your tongue. THAT is where all the bad breath germs hang out! The company also manufactures a toothpaste which is REALLY good and a mouthwash that you can use as well. Floss all you want, and you will benefit in terms of health from all the flossing, but it's on the tongue where the smelly germs are!Another issue may be that you are a mouth-breather. There was an ex-gf who was a mouth-breather, and her breath ALWAYS stunk SO badly. :-%26 She was nearly drinking the mouthwash, but it didn't help.Good luck.
Yes, brushing after every meal, flossing once a day but also visiting your dentist once a year for a check up, getting a professional cleaning at least twice a year. If you haven't seen your dentist in more than 2 years your bad breath could come from cavities or infections that you are unaware of. Even if you don't have a tooth ache!! If you haven't had a cleaning in over a year you could even have gum decease. You should also see your physician. Your bad breath could come from other health problems, stomach related for example. Especially if you have acid reflux.
Flossing is very important, I had the same problem, I tried everything, I like nice fresh breath flossing twice a day will improve, brush gently with a soft brush get a tongue scraper, get the back of your tongue. also go to the fruit store and buy aloe vera Juice it will help your breath..
and like the young lady said earlier sugar free gum when your mouth is feeling dry.
Assuming you are doing all the right things related to proper oral hygiene, brushing, flossing, regular visits to the hygienist and that you are otherwise healthy (no diabetes, acid reflux, etc.) your bad breath problem is most likely the result of "volatile sulfur compounds" in your mouth. You need a product that will reduce the amount of volatile sulfur compounds. BreathRx is a good one as previously mentioned but the one I prefer is called Smart Mouth. It is made by Triumph Pharmaceuticals. It was recently featured on The Apprentice. Hope this helps.
A few seeds of cardamom chewed for a brief while will clear your mouth of bad breath. Chew parsley leaves,which are sure to keep your breath fresh. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/
Get a teeth cleaning. Use a tongue scraper. There's some with a brush on one end and a scraper on the other. Brush gently in a few directions then scrape. Brush with a soft bristle brush for about 2-3 mins. Floss daily. Sugarless gums help too. Drink plenty of water. =)

What's d meaning of "Gotta go, my MEDS are kickin' in."?
Answer:
lol! I love that audible, I use it to make peeps think I'm crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy lolllll
Depends upon what is going on. In a game, their meds might interfere with their concentration on the game (falling asleep on the keyboard). Chances are they don't want the side-affects of their meds to interfere with what you and him/her were doing (like falling asleep at the keyboard).
A person has just taken some medication, and it is starting to take effect. Sleep medication is a common one, that as it takes effect the mind starts slowing down and does not process information correctly. This can also be from strong pain mediation, anti depressants or any medication that has a slowing effect. Other medications can also have similar consequences if there is a feeling of euphoria when taken. If you feel anything in your head from medication it can cause you to be unable (possibly) to do ordinary tasks.
Um.just what it says. A person who's on meds that makes them sleepy needs to go and sleep it off and can't conertrate on anything
What's causing my toothache where I've had root canal & crown?
I woke up 2 hours ago with a terrible throbbing pain in my mouth. It is around a tooth I had a root canal %26 crown put on about 7 months ago. I took 2 Aleve, and after an hour and no change in the pain I then took 2 Extra Strength Tylenols. It's been an hour since then, and I am just starting to feel the effect of the meds. Why am I having this pain? I thought a root canal removed all the nerves. Just looking for some reassuring advice until I can call the dentist in the morning. Thank you.
Answer:
A root canal does remove all the nerves; however, a tooth often has multiple roots, and it's possible that the dentist either didn't do all the roots, or missed one (sometimes they're hard to see). It's also possible that you have a problem with an adjacent tooth, and the pain is being "referred" to the area of the repaired tooth. As you clearly already know, the only way to be sure is to go to the dentist.Good luck!
infection
You may have broken the tooth and the gums around your root canal are irritated. It may be the tooth next to it that is hurting. Anytime you have pain that wakes you up and does not respond to medication you should go to a doctor as soon as possible.
It is possible that not all of the nerves were removed. I have heard of cases where people have had to go back to fix incomplete root canals. Your doctor should be able to tell you in the morning.
I feel for you. I had something similar that turned out to be a abscess UNDER the crown.If you have small mirror look at the base of the crown and gum. Any opening is great for bacteria to start something. Good luck, wish i had an legal(lol)
home based remedy to share.
Something is wrong. An infection may have set in, or something may have gotten under the crown, like a seed. See your dentist, good luck. Pain sucks.
Toothaches are painful but can be prevented
by take suitable precautions. Avoid eating
food which will result in the formation of acid
in the mouth, brush teeth regularly with a fluoride
toothpaste. I found the information at

"Cracked Tooth Syndrome" refers to toothache caused by a broken tooth (tooth fracture) without associated cavity or advanced gum disease. Biting on the area of tooth fracture can cause severe sharp pains. These fractures are usually due to chewing or biting hard objects such as hard candies, pencils, nuts, etc. Sometimes, the fracture can be seen by painting a special dye on the cracked tooth. Treatment usually involves protecting the tooth with a full-coverage gold or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown. However, if placing a crown does not relieve pain symptoms, a root canal procedure may be necessary. http://www.san-diego-dentist.us/san-dieg...

Here's a link, chica. I'm sorry you're hurting. Get some good meds like codeine or ibuprofen. Hope it feels better soon.

What's an effective whitening toothpaste? if you stop using it, would your teeth go yellow again or worse?
Answer:
Most whitening toothpastes are about the same. I like the Crest Night Effects and they have a daytime one. They add an abrasive ingredient to help polish more of surface stains off. So if you drink a lot of things that are staining like coffee, tea, pop, etc. The whitening toothpaste helps keep those polished off with that little extra polishing agent. However, if you have sensitive teeth it can make that worse. If you stop using it you might have more of that coffee or tea stain the surface of your teeth.
I have yet to see a toothpaste that will actually whiten your teeth. At most, they may delay the yellowing of your teeth following a whitening procedure.
Anytime your teeth are whitened, through whatever procedure, they will eventually yellow again. It's due to the natural staining caused by food that you eat.
I recommend that you consult a dentist before you whiten your teeth by any method. He/she will let you know what the potential disadvantages might be. Generally, tooth whitening procedures weaken the enamel rods covering your teeth, which makes them more prone to decay.
The best way to make your teeth look white: if you're a girl, dark lipstick. If you're a guy, get a tan. :)
Hope that helps!

I must get asked this question atleast once a day! I also have yet to see of any toothpaste that whitens teeth. The toothpaste that claim to do that simply remove the day to day stains that we may get on our teeth from consuming products with dark color. However, whitening is not bad for your teeth at all. It is actually very beneficial. Whitening products that you can get from your dentist are the best!
