looking for a cheaper alternative to Oral B’s waxed dental floss

I do not want to have a dental implant done. I just turned 18 and my mom is forcing me to get it done. Is it legal for her to do this? I’m an 18 year old adult.

Do yall know of a website on how to read an xray, and the xray angles of where the xray tube needs to be when you are taking the xray, like a 45 degree angle. let me know if you know a website

My only problems are my wisdom teeth are crowding my front teeth and a plaque is starting to build. The dental insurance costs 8 annually and is for my wife and I.

I went to the dentist 2 days ago to get my teeth cleaned. He took a little hook thing with a sharp end and scraped stuff off my teeth. Now, a few of my teeth feel a little loose. Are my teeth suppose to feel like that?

Need extensive work done, and have no $$$$$, any place that would offer free or drastically cheap dental care ??

I was about to go to sleep and my ear suddenly started ringing but I ignored it. Now about 2 hours later I woke up and it’s gotten more intense. I don’t feel any pain, just sort of numbness around the ear. The ringing changes pitch and my ear feels like it has water in it. Could this be just an ear infection or something worse? Thanks.

do you have to do a dental residency? what kind of education do you need for it ?

What will they have to do. She might have a hole / crack from that because she spit up small puddles of blood earlier. i saw a crack / hole thing in her tooth. Would they have to pull it out?!

the tooth chipped right where my tounge meets my teeth in my mouth and i keep touching it with my tounge. when am i going to get used to it?? its driving me crazy!

I am just asking if the handle of the electric brush can also be soaked in water. and another, I’ve seen a metal object along with the handle (which i think makes the head spin) after I’ve removed the head of the brush for cleaning… is it a surgical stainless steel or will that rust in time.

I have a 14 year old Chihuahua/Beagle mix named Trixie, and her teeth have become really bad. They were cleaned when I first got her 3 years ago from the shelter, and she ended up losing a front tooth. I know she needs them cleaned again, but I worry about having her put under anesthesia. She is a very healthy dog and doesn’t act her age, but she does have epilepsy which is treated by phenobarbitol. I know having bad teeth can lead to a bad heart, but I would hate to put her in harms way by having her put under! What should I do?
Im not sure what type it is, but last time they did it, when she woke up she was coughing a lot. I dont know if that helps, sorry
