I have a friend that has very yellow teeth.  The thing is she wants to go out and buy dental strips to whiten her teeth with but I told her she should see a dentist for a basic cleaning first.  My thinking is she has not been in a while and I know she must have tartar build up.

I really do not like to floss.  I alway do it too hard or somthing because my gums are sore afterwords.  So I know I do not floss as much as I should.  Although I have good teeth my dentist always seems to know that I am not flossing once a day.   I seen water picks that say they are better then flossing and it seems much easier to use.  What are your thoughts.

What are dental sealants?

Dental sealants are a plastic material applied to the back surfaces of the teeth to help prevent cavities.

Should children get dental sealants?

Dental sealants are important for children since they protect the top surface of the molars where pits and fissures are more prevalent and are susceptible to bacteria by getting trapped in the pits and fissures of the tooth which leads to the onset of cavities. The plastic material / dental sealant covers the top surface area of the molar. Your dentist needs to be consulted before you have any dental work done on children to ensure they are receiving the proper dental health care.

Yesterday one of my crowns came off.  My tooth does not hurt and the crown is not bent or messed up in any way.  I want to know if it is safe to just super glue the crown back on?  I am too poor to afford to go to the dentist and this country is totally screwed up as far as providing good low cost dental care to people who are in need.

What is the process of having a dental crown put on?  I was told by my dentist that I have new large size cavity in a tooth that had an old filling in it.  He said that, he can do the filing but advises me to have the tooth crowned so that it protects my tooth from braking.

I live in central Florida and I am finding it very hard to find any dentist in my area that will accept medicaid. I would like to see a dentist since it been a while since I last been to one.  Do you know how I can find who takes medicaid if anyone?  And if not can you offer some suggestions on what I can do to get low cost dental services.

My mother who is 59 needs some very low cost dental services.  I would not say her teeth are terrible but they are causing her to have some pain issues and she would really like to have them all fixed up so she looks better.  She just does not have any extra money for dental care.
