I notice when I brush my teeth my gums are starting to receed. Is this gingivitis? And if so how do you get rid of it?

Anyone have any experiences with Dental Plans? I don’t have dental insurance and I probably need to have a fixed bridge or something for my four front teeth. I don’t have a lot of money.

I am having surgery on wensday on a extra tooth still in my gum and connected to my bone. Will it hurt a lot? How many days should I stay home from school?

I am in the preforming arts, and I would like to know what the best toothpaste to whiten teeth is. Also, what is the best tooth brush to use? I would like to keep the prices low. Thanks so much!

Dental Malpractice Lawyer?
Hi, I’m looking for a dental malpractice lawyer who only charges if the case wins. I’m in the Boston area. Preferably one with a good history.

Any suggestions?

I have the replacement heads that I use on my powerbrush. Now I do know that they have the blue indicator thing but it seems like the bristles get mangled up before the indicator fades. I have braces and do brush 2 times a day. I have one head that I have had for only a month and it is already mangled and distorted but I don’t think the indicator is already fading. So how often, assuming you brush daily, do you replace your oral b replacement heads?

What happens to medical and dental benefits if you’re fired from your job and are now collecting unemployment? I work in NY state and just want to know if I lose my medical and dental benefits if I get fired, but start collecting unemployment.

My 10 month old has his two bottom teeth and his four on top. Since his front top teeth have come down all the way he has been grinding his teeth together. He doesn’t do this all of the time, but he does do it. Is this normal?

What does an endodontist do that a dentist doesn’t? I heard they mainly do root canals, but don’t dentists do those too?

I am only 18 so MassHealth should be able to pay for it

I hate goin to d dentist and I hate him pullin and touching my mouth … how can I get over my fear and serious answers please !!!

Many people get braces and cosmetic dental surgery for no reason other than cosmetic. I understand there are cases in which dental surgery is needed because the patient is in pain or because of an oral infection, but a lot of these procedures are purely cosmetic. And nobody has a problem with this.

I’m 29 years old, I’ve been a swimmer all of my life, but my ab muscles just don’t show the way they used to, I’m starting to grow love handles and a bit of a turkey neck. I’m still thin, my abs are still hard, but because I’m getting older, I’m growing a layer of fat around my stomach and neck that exercise and dieting is not going to ger rid of, that layer of fat is keeping my abs from showing. I’m also growing a turkey neck despite me being thing, it must be the age. I want to get liposuction around my waist and neck, but people are telling me I’m being too vain.

People never call someone who’s getting his teeth fixed just so they look better vain, so why do people call me vain for getting liposucction for my neck and stomach?

I have three missing teeth all in the front of my mouth. I’ve talked to both my orthodontist and periodontist about getting implants and they both strongly suggest it. I’m terrified of surgery so I’m wondering if they put you to sleep and how much it hurts afterward and if there is anything else I should know about the surgery. I’ve gotten two other oral surgeries before but nothing like this.

Thanks for your input!
