A friend had 4 wisdom teeth extracted Friday morning.  She still has
pain for which she is taking Tylenol.  Also, she said another tooth
hurt during the night but then stopped.  She doesn't seem to have
swelling on the outside of her face; I don't know about inside.  Could

I understand that crowns made of composite material are available now.
I'm wondering what the professionals who post here think of the quality
of these crowns compared to porcelain and PFM crowns.
What advantages are there?

I have a tooth - #30 - which has had a root canal and a crown and
still is very sensitive to pressure. If I brush it with my electric
toothbrush it hurts; not enough to scream in pain but enough to want
to be very gentle when brushing it.

I'm booked in to have my upper wisdom teeth removed in a few days time, on
the advice of my Canadian dentist.
I am 33 years old. My upper wisdom teeth came through in my early 20s, and
have never given me so much as a moment's bother. However, I have no lower

I was just fired as an associate from a practice (not enough work). My
contract with that practice included a non-compete clause. Many aspects
of the work arrangement changed after contract signing, so I need a
lawyer to help me figure out if the non-compete still applies.

I have a 5 tooth bridge and a crown on one end is alot darker than
the others and seems to have darken more and is a bit "spotted", is the
only way to describe it. It has been in for only a month at most so
should my dentist replce it or is there any way for any type of dentist

I used washing soda to remove some wallpaper earlier this year and it
worked like a wonder. I recently bought Arm & Hammer baking soda
toothpaste and it seems to work quite well on one stained tooth I have.
Now, I know baking soda is much milder than washing soda, but,

My son's pediatric dentist is recommending a w-wire for crossbite.  What I've

Headaches and migraines are almost always caused by the same underlying

We who suffer from these conditions are more sensitive to stress and
tension than other people around us.

Iam sufferin with major tooth problem, my front tooth needs root canal.
However i have been to a dentist and since the root of my tooth is
short. It is very difficult to do root canal. Do you know any endo
dentist who specialises in root canal or alternative solution to root

I am 40 years old and my lower teeth are quite crooked and my uppers
in pretty good shape.  My dentist has been pushing me to get
Invisalign done.  It certainly wouldn't be for cosmetic reasons as the
bottom being crooked doesn't bother me.  

I am anxious for a root canal tomorrow.  Although this endodontist says
no big deal - will take just over an hour, I know I will be a bundle of
nerves.  He said taking Valium is ok and shouldn't interfere with the
novacaine, if I wanted to try that - plus he could add nitrous to the

My insurance pays for mouth guards with code D7880 ($130 my cost).  I have
bruxism and my 9-year old guard made under the same code is broken.  However,
the dentist wants me to get the guard under D9940 costing me $450 out of
pocket.  Is there a difference.  I have bruxism, not TMJ. ...
