| Any of you ever seen the movie "The Dentist"? | 29 Apr 2005 16:24 GMT | 6 |
Or, at least I think that's what it's called... it's about a psycho dentist who goes crazy and can't stand the plaque/tartar/gingivitis build-up he's seeing on his patients' teeth, and he basically ties them up in the dentist chair and pull all their teeth out lol a horror movie

I've been very busy this past month or so, and I haven't probably brushed my teeth at night as well I should have, but I'm trying to get back into brushing them for a longer time and just plain doing a better job at night. Anyway, one of the reasons I'm slightly concerned is

I had a bridge ''installed'' about 10 years ago. (starts at tooth #12, no tooth #13 & ends at tooth #14) Recently I've noticed that when I bite on anything with tooth # 12, it feels like that tooth is 'shifting'....like the bridge that sits on that particular tooth isn't ...
