I had a crown lengthening done yesterday and my dentist had applied
dressing to the area. He said that it would last 3 to 10 days.
This morning, it had fallen out and I went to get it replaced
immediately. I thought I might have bitten it while I was sleeping and

My dentist has removed two deep amalgam filling that he said were
cracking and starting to loose a good seal.  He showed this to my

I got a crown in my far back bottom tooth 8 days ago.  The crown was
put in because I had a big old metal filling in this tooth and just
decided it was time.  My dentist did not encourage (nor discourage)
this procedure - initially he planned to replace just the filling, but

I have recently noticed that at certain times I can move air from my
nasal cavity directly into my mouth. I was not concerned until i got to

I recently had a crown and root canal done on #30 but the root canal did
not go deep enough and is sore. New dentist is saying the crown is not
fit properly (gap at the base) but apart from that is it necessary to

I am having surgery on wednesday to remove what is most likely a benign
cyst from my lower left gum area.  I only noticed anything there when I

Has anyone had luck with Crest Whitening Strips? I used them for 2 days
now just on my top row of teeth. My teeth are sensitive and they hurt.
Plus my gums get pink and soar. After 2 days (4 strips) just on the top

Several months ago my dentist gave me two syringes of 16% peroxide
whitener. I used both, and at first my teeth got much whiter. After a
while I saw no further improvement. Last week he gave me another one
