Why would you do that when they still have their baby teeth>??????????

Just wondering about this.  I heard it was a lot less painful, and
equally effective.  Don't need one now just curious as i heard about
the procedure 3 yrs ago and haven't heard a peep since.

"Mercury exposure from mercury dental fillings, also known as "silver"
fillings and "amalgams", is a life long threat. When a person chews, drinks,
swallows and breathes, mercury released from dental fillings is absorbed by
the lungs and the linings of the digestive system into the ...

Since, I believe, the main ingredient in Listerine mouthwash is
alcohol, and alcohol can dry out the mouth, this is not beneficial,

replaced.  I was extremely nervous as I am terified of needles inside
my mouth (but not injections elsewhere).  Everything was fine until
the local wore off and I felt **extreme** pain on the left side of my

I would appreciate any feedback on the soft-core root canal obturation
system. Information on the internet is very contradicting.

I wonder if somebody can provide some advice on how to deal with bad
dentist workmanship.
My wife had a crown done by a dentist in Calgary, Alberta. After we
have move to a different neighborhood, we have switched dentist. The

"NT: It does seem sort of misleading to call mercury fillings "silver
fillings." All these years I thought I had a mouthful of precious metal, and
instead my mouth is a toxic waste dump.

I just turned 30 and need to get my teeth straightened. I'm trying to get a
rough idea on what it might cost to get started with it. I want clear braces
(not the metal kind). Would I have to pay everything up front or do people
pay as they go, on each visit? I mean, after a couple ...

that the  prolonged presence of peroxide at the gums for those undergoing two
or more weeks of night time whitening may find a ...
