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 have a bad teeth grinding habit.  I try and stop but when I am not thinking about it I catch my self grinding my teeth or clenching my teeth down really hard.   If I am stressed out I do it even more.  I do not thing I am doing this while I sleep but I am not sure.  My dentist told me I need to stop because it is not good for my teeth and if I continue I can crack my teeth.   Advise and help is needed here.

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.

I am so upset.  I brush three times a day pretty much after every main meal.  I floss twice a day.   I use mouthwash that is suppose to be good for gum care.  Yet I still manage to get a cavity under my crown of all things.  Now I need a root canal and a new crown.  With insurance my cost is still over $900.00.

This may seem an odd question.  However I am not just asking just to.  I know that because of tooth decay you can get cavities and sometimes have to have root canal and teeth pull on so  on.  I know you need to brush and floss but I a sure most people do brush and floss daily but still gets tooth dacay.   So that is why I ask what is  it and how to you stop it 100% so you do not have to have all that dental treatment done.

My teeth look really bad.  I do not have cavities but they are dark and small teeth.  I hate them.  I was thinking about having some cosmetic dentistry done to them so that I can have a nice smile.  Which is something I always wanted to have.  My dental insurance does not cover for cosmetic dental services.

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.
