I had two porcelain crowns on my two front upper teeth a couple of months ago.
I went to my dentist this morning for a routine cleaning and he told me there
was a fracture in one of my crowns.  He wants to remove it, put on another
temp. crown, and then replace it with a brand new ...

I need some advice in terms of teeth replacement.  I'm 55 and have most
of my molars missing on the bottom.  I have all the front teeth between
the two canines, and one molar #18.  The molars were removed due to
cavities and not from gum problems.  I would like to replace the

I usually brush every day before going to sleep, but perhaps once a
week I don't bother. Would it be safe to increase that non brushing to
twice a week, so say I would brush three days, then not brush one day,
then repeat the sequence? My teeth aren't brilliant and I have lots of

I'm completely confused by this, unable to make anything I've read on
the internet really fit.
Lower left molar with large filling and a cusp fracture dating back a
few years, had no money to repair it due to other medical expenses.

I'm new to this newsgroup and hope someone will have some advice.
I am 47, see my dentist regularly, brush twice a day with an electric
toothbrush and floss once daily.
My dental hygienist insists that I come in every three months for

I hope you all will be able to help me out and offer some advice.
First some background:
I am in my early 30s, had braces when I was in my late teens.
I go and get cleanings done twice a year on my teeth.

6 months ago I had a cavity filled by my dentist.  Immediately after
the treatment my dentist commented "if you experience any discomfort or
pain from the tooth, please let me know......."
For several weeks after the treatment my tongue and area in the mouth

I'm hoping someone has had a similar situation to mine, because I really
don't know what to do.  This all began when I started having pain in a lower
left molar--it's actually a baby tooth that was crowned when I was in high
school (I'm 23 now). I just don't have a permanent tooth ...

I'm 61. I've beengoing to dentists all my life. After losing a bridge due to
an extraction a dentist I went to for two implants wants to do a whole mouth
restoration to correct an overbite that is wearing down my lower front teeth.
The cost will be $65,000, thats right sixty five ...

So I lose a filling and drag myself into a see a new dentist (I moved recently)
to be told that I need a root canal and a crown for over $2000.00.  I hate
dentists.   I don't know if I can trust any of them and I certainly can not
afford  any of them.

Hi! I started flossing about a year ago and never want to stop, I think
I've missed about only 1 night. So I am very happy about this. Anyway,

I will try to keep this short. I have only 13 of my own teeth, due to
hypodontia I think! I have had a partial dentures (top and bottom)
since I was 21. I am now 28. Last year, I had a bone graft (my own
bone, from my hip) and this August just gone, have had 7 implants

I recently went to my dentist and he billed me for resin fillings-two
surface anterior on tooth #25.
My question is how many anterior surfaces can #25 have.  It's a front tooth
and I thought it only has 1 anterior surface.
