There is this man that i work with in the office. He is 30. When ever i talk to him his breath makes me want to puke! Whenever he smiles though, his teeth are pearly white, but his gums are red and a little swollen. I REALLY want to tell him that he has bad breath and needs to get help with it, but I don't want to embaress him, or hurt his feelings. I think he is aware of his breath too, because he is always popping mints in his mouth. Help me please!
Answer:
It is quite common and as a railroad worker I encounter this a lot. First of all, you can leave them a note allowing them the privacy so that they are not offended. I use this method and it works for me. I do not place a name but leave it unsigned.Second if you take them aside as a friend and allow them to know you mean no disrespect then proceed with the information not to offend them but make them aware of such an offense then they will see it.Make sure you allow them to know that you had an incident yourself with that same problem and tell them how embarrassed you were.Tell them how someone told you in public and how it felt to be belittled by it. Tell them as a friend you are trying to have them avoid that same situation and not feel ashamed by it. Most people have reasons for being that way and some are just that way but if it is a serious matter it could be they have an infected tooth as well.You choose the method to inform them of such a thing and remember how would you feel if someone approached you?
Offer him a stick of gum or pull him aside and tell him in private.
Pull him aside to tell him. Preface your confrontation by saying the reason you are telling him is because you care and that you know he would be just as honest with you.
Give this a guy a tooth brush and some tooth paste then get him some mouth wash and a bunch of REALLY strong mints!
I would get a flyer from a dentist on gum disease and breath problems and soulutions and leave them around the office.
Maybe he would see them and take the hint.Oh and make sure no one sees you doing it!
if you think he already knows it would be rude to point it out. although I was once in the same situation and I talked about how horrible mine was one day and he chimed in commenting about himself.. that opened the door to talk about it with him.
Well be specific. tell him straight forward that his breath stinks... BUT IN A REALLY NICE WAY.
tell him something like: hey _____ can i be honest with u? I don't want to hurt your feelings, but and i'm doing this the best way i can think of to not hurt ur feelings as much as somebody else would, anyways your breath has a really bad odor to it. i just wanted to let u know so u wouldn't get hurt really bad to someone else who would just tell you what he feels.
Well he could have gingivitis, which makes your gums swollen and you get bad breathe. Take him somewhere it is just you and him. Ask him if he has a dental problem. If he says yes then give him these tips.1 brush your teeth morning nite and afternoon
2 tell him to use crest prohealth
3 floss before brushing
4 tell him he might want to get a new toothbrush.If he says no then tell him gently that he might want to go to the dentist. everyone deserves to know if they have a problem worth fixing. I was in the same position a couple of weeks ago. She ended up thanking me for telling her about it.

How do you tell if you have a cavity?
I just lost a baby tooth recently and the adult tooth behind it has a white circle on it .It doesn't hurt at all.Could it be my ceilings the dentist put on my back teeth?HELP!
Answer:
Go to the dentist! Get an x-ray!
You could always just as the dentist.
Ceilings? Do you mean sealants? Well cavities aren't white, just ask your dentist at the next visit.
Cavities hurt and are generally sensitive to cold.
I'm not sure what this is, but I cavity is a hole, so it's not one of those. Could it be a calcium deposit?
Usually it hurts (for instance when you drink sth cold or hot).
Go to the dentist to have a look.xxx
Cavities look like black holes on the teeth, if you had one I'm sure it would hurt if you eat sugary foods or if something was stuck in it.
If you have a cavity ask your dentist. If there is no dentist around were you live open your mouth in front of your mom or dad and ask them if they see any black spots or anything. If you are nervous then don't ask them. Does your tooth hurt at all? If so you have a cavity.
Hello:It's hard to say what you are looking at without evaluating your mouth/tooth. Yes, it could very well possibly be the sealant that your dentist placed.A cavity is an area of the tooth that has been broken down by the acids produced by the bacteria in your mouth.When the cavity is deeper it usually gives you a sensitive feeling to cold and sweets.Get a checkup --Brush, floss and rinse regularly -- keep your teeth clean-- You should do this regularly after every meal--if you are unable to brush after your meal at least rinse your mouth with water and then when you are able-- do a thorough job of brushing and flossing.
you should go to the dentist and have it looked at
A cavity will cause you pain. See your dentist soon.
when your up half the night howling like a "were" head for the dentist.
It is probably what we call a decalcified area. If it's located where I think it is, the baby tooth probably sat touching the molar in that area. It is a weak area of enamel and is in the first stages of becoming a cavity. My guess is that you weren't flossing between your teeth and the decay process started but hasn't become a full blown cavity. Usually a cavity is dark in color and can be sensitive to sweets and cold. If you do a super job of keeping it clean it probably won't get worse. Brush it for now and start a flossing habit. It will save you from cavities between your other teeth and this one later. Wouldn't hurt to let the dentist check it.
Most sealants are done on the top biting surfaces of the teeth where the deep grooves are located and are tooth colored and hard to spot.
Most likely what you are describing is what I like to call an "enamel bruise". Many times the enamel is disturbed during formation (several years back). Fevers, medications, lack of nutrition, too much fluoride ingested (yes, this happens). These spots generally are not a problem, but some may be weak areas. If you just lost the primary tooth, most likely it hasn't had time to get decayed. See your dentist and they can tell you for sure.
The Dentisty sees a hole
This is most likely a calcium spot - basically a deposit of calcium. nothing to worry about though it won't really fade. A cavity usually starts of as a smell hole that is brown and will turn black as it gets bigger.
Sealants are usually white in color and will only be in the middle of the tooth. A cavity is diagnosed by symptoms, not only appearance. If you were recently to the dentist and had x-rays, he/she would have mentioned it. If you are experiencing pain or sensitivity, I would see the dentist soon. But, I would guess that what you are seeing is the sealant recently placed. Hope that helps!!
it could be plaque starting to form around the teeth. i have a little bit of that on my teeth too.It's not a big deal really just make sure you brush really good.
Go and see your dentist.

How do you tell a guy that he needs to use mouthwash?
okay well my boyfriend has really stinky breathe. whenever he talks it makes me want to puke. how do i tell him that he really needs to use some mouthwash or start to brush his teeth?
Answer:
Well, maybe if you go out and buy him mouthwash and give it to him and say, "Hey, I bought this new mouthwash and I'm trying to get better dental hygiene so do you mind if we tried it together?" If he doesn't use it just break it to him and tell him that his breath smells and that you like him but it would really mean a lot to you if he freshened his breath.
every time he opens his skankey mouth have a certs ready. he will get the hint.
offer him some gum whenever you meet up
SAY YOUR BREATH STINKS GET IT SORTED BEST WAY
Give him mouthwash as a gift! Add a note that says "To make your mouth a little sweeter to kiss". Putting it in nicer way will help lessen the blow to his feelings and gives him the oral care he needs.
he needs to floss not just mouth wash... best way is to tell him with a sour look on your face, definitely tell him
How about saying "Wow! What have you been eating? You need another mint." every time you see him?Or, you could be honest and just tell him he needs to clean up his act.
Just be straight and up front. Break the ice on the topic by asking "did you just eat some ________?" If he is smart, he will take the hint and be more conscious about his breath, if not, try again by telling him that his breath is horrible. It may be a problem caused by tooth decay or gum disease - he may need to see a dentist.
One of the biggest causes of bad breath is not flossing. Breath mints are a quick fix but he needs to floss, floss, floss and brush his tongue when he brushes his teeth in the morning and at night to keep his breath fresh all the time. Keep offering him mints as he tries to get close and when he finally asks why you keep doing this tell him the problem and the solution. Tell him you love to be close, but his breath is making it really difficult for you. This was a problem my husband had and flossing really helped. But because he hadn't done it all of his life, he ended up with gum disease followed by oral surgery. Not fun!
lucky you.
it might be a buildup or calcified plaque, and it stinks!! you cant get rid of the smell even with mouth wash!
the next closest holiday include it in a delightful looking basket toiletries and mouthwash also tic tacs
He must have some redeeming features if you are still with him. So how about telling him he needs to brush his teeth more than once a week. If that doesn't work carry around a packet of mints and when ever he opens his mouth just pop one in. If this doesn't work you will just have to leave him.
with words
actually if he brushes his teeth, he might only need a tounge scraper. If he uses mouthwash and doesnt scrape his tounge (not with a toothbrush) all mouthwash will do is dry out his mouth which makes it even more of a breeding ground for bacteria. Bad breath mainly comes from a bacteria infested tounge.trust me!
sorry to be the one to tell you your breath stinks .
then as are we still friends.
if he is hurt and up set tell him love hurts

How do you tell a friend to brush their teeth without offending them?
i know of many ppl who dont brush their teeth, or if they do they have bad breath still. how doi tell them they stink?
Answer:
Your question bears out a social problem. I have the reputation of being a cagey kind of guy. So I can just say what's on my mind. However there are times when tact is required. Telling someone that their breath is offensive can create a lengthy and undesirable social rift. My approach is to mention someone else having the oral hygiene issues. You see we are all willing to talk about someone else. You say, "What's wrong with that poor dear, can't she see the sandwich and salad she is still carrying around in her teeth." The listener gets the idea that people really notice other peoples breath and will talk about it and that they need to check there own maintenance. That's if I don't feel like just saying, "dang Yo breaf sho du stank!"
Offer them some kind of mint or mint gum, saying its really good, and if they like it, buy them some.
Well just ask your friend if they looks after their teeth. If they do just advise them to use mouthwash .
convince them to eat gum after they eat.
there really is no way to do so with out offending them unfortunately, but you can offer them breath mints or gum
( have a piece yourself if you don't want to look too obvious) or IF you have a good relationship with this person mention it to them politely. It could be they are having health issues that cause the problem and they either do not realize the problem or are unable to control it. I have been in that position before and could walk around all day with a mouth full of mouthwash and still have bad breath ( I was soo happy to get over that issue!!)
I quess I would first have to ask if they have a favorite toothpaste? Ask which one and then let them know your tried that one and it left you having bad breath at least that's what your friends would tell ya. So your tried another brand name recommended by your dental hygenist. At that it showed great improvement, may they would like to try it?Just in case these people do brush here is an article about causes for bad breath etc. Share this as a casual conversation. And if you really feel bad about their personal brushing habits send them to the link below for low cost dental plans offering free dental exams etc. Good Luck!
Offer them a mint, gum or breath strips. Tell them it's new on the market and getting everyone's opinion. Listerine has some. When you brush after lunch, suggest they join you. Or if they are good friends, gift them a tongue scraper. It helps to get rid of the bad breath germs. Tell them you use it and love it. Or a new kind of brush or toothpaste. If you're not so close to them, mint or gums should do it. Good luck!

How do you stop tooth/gum sensitivity?
I was just at the dentist and had a cleaning. I was told that my gums are starting to receed and shown a proper way to floss. Even with the easy slide floss, it still hurts. It, too, takes so much time to floss. Is there a rinse or anything else I can do instead to get the plaque and to help with the receeding?
Answer:
Flossing is actually more important than brushing because nothing else will reach into those deeper gum spaces where the the gum infection gingivitis gets started. The floss is also the only way to access in between where the teeth contact to prevent cavities. I think of it like this - brushing your teeth is like washing your hands and flossing is like cleaning under your nails. Check out this website to view alternative products to help you floss - Like Crest Glide Dental Floss Picks, Reach Access flosser etc. http://www.drugstore.com/search/search.a...
My Dad doesn't floss and really loves Johnson and Johnson's Stimudents so you might try those. Rinses may help reduce plaque or inflammation, such as Listerine or Crest Pro Health but I wouldn't recommend Peridex because of the staining it causes and altered taste perception.
I wish I could give you a huge shortcut, but I don't have one. You do sound really motivated and that is great because dental health is related to total body health. Keep up the good work!
JAMRDH - a dental hygienist
There's a prescription mouthwash called Peridex that you can get from your dentist.
There are toothpicks like Stimudent or brush picks (a tiny brush on one side, a pick on the other) but it can damage your gums if not used properly, not fit, and still not as effective as floss. Another option is the WaterPik. But you have to be gentle or it can also damage your gums. Of course nothing replaces flossing but I've seen a lot of dentists offer this as a alternative. You can also put some mouthwash in it too. Brush gently and use a soft toothbrush. Depending on how far they have receeded, you can ask your doc about gum grafting. Where they take tissue from the roof of your mouth and graft it to the gum that's gone. The receeded gum will not come back like it was before. If you switch to a softer toothbrush, it'll stop it from receeding further and come back very, very slightly. I have the same thing and got a filling on the receeded tooth and will do the gum grafting later this year. Good luck

How do you stop a place where tooth was pulled to stop bleeding?
Answer:
A large piece of guaze folded into a square and placed directly on the site, then clamp down the jaw to hold it in place. Then return to the dentist for proper treatment. The site should have a large clot at the jawbone to prevent postoperative bleeding, and if it has been lost you will need to have something else done to control the bleeding and guard against infection. If you do not have guaze, any clean cotton cloth will work, such as a handkerchief or washrag, strip of cotton t-shirt if it comes to it- so long as it is clean. But then you need immediate attention from your dentist.
Get gauze and roll it up and put it in place of the tooth. If you dont haev any gauze handy, try and find a tea bag. There is soemthing in them that helps the bleeding. If the bleeding persists then you should call your dentist.
the tea bag should work. it helps to clot the blood, and the pressure helps too. get it a little bit damp with warm water first, then "bite" on it for at least 1 hour. you can also apply a cold pack to the outside of the cheek where the tooth was removed. this helps slow down the blood flow to the area.
Take some gauze and fold it several times and bite down on it, it should stop bleeding if not contact your dentist
Place Cold Gauze Soaked With ICY Cold WATER! On Top Of Where The Tooth Was Pulled!Soak The Gauze With ICY Cold Water and Lay Down!
DO NOT MOVE AROUND FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS!
Keep Your Tougue Out Of The Tooth Socket!
Go To The Emergency Room If Bleeding Does Not Stop!
May Need Stitches! Can Be INFECTION!
gause folded up put in the area, and bite down on it to apply pressure, if you dont have that you can use a couple cotton balls, or a soft cloth. keep it in your mouth for a couple minutes(about 5-15min) then check to see if the bleeding slowed if it dont slow down go to a doctor, it may need stitches, or something.
It depends on the situation Did the dentist pull an adult tooth? Rinse mouth with soda water. Put gauze in hole.
On the first day, gauze-pressure
On the second day, rinse with salt water.Don't suck through a straw or cigarette, or suck in your cheeks (like you might before swallowing). It can pull the blood clot back out and it will continue to bleed until another clot can form.Hope it helps, I just recently went through it myself. Might want to have pain killers and Origel or Ambisol on hand.
While i agree with the measures posted here, observation should be made if they are successful. If these measures do not control the bleeding you must go see your dentist. Commonly, the cause of post-operative bleeding it something left within the extraction site and therefore interferes with clotting. sometimes it is caused by undue trauma to the area or an area of sharp bone that hasn't been smoothened. In rare occasions it is because of an inherent problem with the blood that prevents it from clotting. Some medications may also prevent clotting of blood
Ok...forget everything you were just told here...I have pulled thousands of teeth..here is what you need to do:Keep gauze on it for 30 minutes...bite down on it...don't talk, don't be moving around...sit and let it work...After 30 minutes, take it out and put another piece in for another 30 minutes...take this out...it is normal to "ooze" blood for the next 24 hours or so..don't brush that area when you brush your teeth...don't use mouthrinse, don't smoke, such through straws or pick at the area...The bleeding will subside..
How do you repair your gums rom dip?
i just recently quit dipping or chewing tobacco? How can i repair my gum?
Answer:
Yikes! But I am glad to hear you have quit.Get HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AT THE DRUG STORE.Gently brush your teeth and gums with it once or twice a day. It is amazing in healing sore, bleeding or damaged gums.Congratulations. Girls will like you better now.
You might try brushing your teeth with baking soda everyday and see if that don't help you out. I know that kills all kinds of bacteria. My mom uses it every day instead of tooth paste and has for years.
Book an appt with the dentist. They'll see what needs attention. If there is a gum issue, best to have them look it over. You don't want to ignore it. If it's gum disease, your doc may recommend a deep cleaning or another treatment. For now, continue to brush for 2 mins with a soft bristle brush and floss daily.

How do you remove the teeth staining caused by anti-biotics?
iwas put on a 2 month course of anti-biotics (acnamino mr 100mg) for a finger that had been infected with fish tank granuloma 2 years ago. the week before i finished i noticed that some of my front teeth and most of my nails look gray and dirty. how do i get my teeth clean again.?
Answer:
Try Crest Whitestrips, they do a great job .
You should let it clear up by itself. Going to the dentist to whiten can be very expensive and they grey dirty look can come back. So my advice is to let it be for a couple of weeks and see what happens. If no improvement, see your doctor or dentist. You may be able to get it cleaned by the NHS or if you are under 18 and in full time education. Hope this helps.Am I right in saying you have acne? Also make sure you are not pregnant as these antibiotics are not good for the foetus.
apart from brushing twice a day with glister toothpaste, i would suggest you try the glister mouthfreshner which has removed the teeth stains for me.. talking from my personal experience here. if it helps good otherwise please ignore this.
Hi,go to the dentist for a clean %26 polish that might do the trick.Good Luck

So my advice is to let it be for a couple of weeks and see what happens. If no improvement, see your doctor or dentist. You may be able to get it cleaned by the NHS or if you are under 18 and in full time education. Hope this helps.Am I right in saying you have acne? Also make sure you are not pregnant as these antibiotics are not good for the foetus.
apart from brushing twice a day with glister toothpaste, i would suggest you try the glister mouthfreshner which has removed the teeth stains for me.. talking from my personal experience here. if it helps good otherwise please ignore this.
Hi,go to the dentist for a clean %26 polish that might do the trick.Good Luck
How do you remove dried chewing gum from fingers?
Answer:
Vegetable oil or peanut butter
peanut butter disolves gum (works in hair too)then dish soap to wash away the remains
how did you get dried chewing gum on your fingers? or was it your lttle kid or something? i don't know, sorry. wish i could help.
Try a piece of ice and rub good or try just cold water and the gum will come off.
rubbing alcohol.
More gum is always the answer
How do you pull out a loose tooth with little to no pain?
Answer:
If your baby tooth is very loose, you can use an anesthetic cream from your pharmacy (example Orajel), put some on the gum around it, and then pull it.That is called self-dental extraction. http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/treatme...
wiggle it
.YANK!!
Drink a bottle of Seagrams 7 first.
let if fall out by itself. If its still attatched to anything its gonna hurt.
Let the dentist do it.
Needle-nose pliers.
bit down on a suga daddy then open your mouth realy quick works =] Good luck!
wiggle at it until it breaks off or pulls out. why pull it out? it will come out when it's ready
1. Get a long piece of high quality string
2. Tie the string around the tooth with a knot and then around a door knob
3. Have someone slam the door as hard and fast as possible and the tooth will come outNote - this is just a suggestion and something that worked for me, make sure the tooth is very loose first
swish cayenne in your mouth. It sounds painful, but it isn't. Take it from me, I hate pain! cayenne shuts off the pain receptors.
Eat a piece of bread and make sure you chew with the tooth that you want to come out. Be sure not to swallow the bread!
get some clove candies(i know Craker Barrel sells them) suck on it till its gone. Clove numbs your mouth. Then also rub alot of oragel around the loose tooth then wiggle wiggle wiggle and try to get it out. My husband got mine out with lottle pain and He wiggled it till it was more loose then he pushed it as far as it would go to one side then it came out but he had to push hard!
loosen it up with salt and bourbon
First, get a little hammered, then try the plier or string or taffy trick. But why not just chew some gum and pack behind the tooth and against it's neighbors. That will help stabilize the tooth until it comes out on its own! If this is a little kid, my mom used to dip her finger in brandy, wipe it on the gum around the tooth, then yank with her fingers! Ahhh...the good old days! Good luck!
Baseball and a soft pitch to you.
Wait for the tooth to get pretty loose. Then, grab it with your index finger and thumb. Twist the tooth for a little bit. You will feel when it starts to come free. When you are doing this, you want to be standing over a sink so that the blood won't get on the floor (the amount of blood that comes out depends on how long you wait to pull it out). Make sure that you have a cup next to you so that you can put water in your mouth and swish it around in your mouth to get all the blood out.
oh come on pulling teeth is easier than pulling a hair out of ur body .. just grab hold of it nicely carefully pull it out in a one go ... u should only do this if its ur first teeth (baby teeth) and a little wobbly .. dont try it on adult teeth !!
There will be no pain at all, because your dentist will first numb you. Because the tooth is already loose, it should go very quick -- as little as ten seconds. You'll probably be given a prescription for a pain killer (Vicodin) for when the anesthetic wears off. I've had maybe four extractions over the years and NEVER felt the least pain either during the procedure or after. Don't worry.
How do you prevent morning breath?
Answer:
I dont know how to prevent it but brush your teeth then use mout wash for about 1 min to rid it.
You dont.
Brush your teeth at night. You can also use MouthWash before you go to bed and dont eat or drink anything after you take it or it defeats the purpose.
you can try brushing you gums and tongue as well as the teeth and see if it helps
Brush and floss your teeth at least 2 times a day (morning AFTER breakfast and before bed after eating ) ALSO brush your tongue with a DRY toothbrush or tongue scraper/brush.
A tongue is like a sponge and it soaks up everything you eat and collects on your tongue. So you need to brush it off daily to help improve your breath. Also brush your inside of your cheeks.
Die in your sleep.
drink water before you sleep
You probably breathe through your mouth on a night.
If you feel really adventurous, you could tape your mouth with micropore tape. Try a small piece vertically in the middle to start with, then once happy you can tape the lot.
Sounds scary, but I do it as part of my Buteyko breathing excercises.
I would suggest checking with medical experts first.
brush and floss at bedtime, that will help. But the morning breath is cause by the bacteria in your mouth. and it is present all the time. best thing to do is brush, floss and use mouth wash first thing when you get upalso eating smelly foods like garlic will make morning breath worse.
Get up in the afternoon.
HELLO,
NOBODY CAN PREVENT HAVING MORNING BREATH, AND ANY ADVISE ANYONE GIVES YOU TO TREAT IT OR PREVENT IT WILL NOT WORK.
Bad breath is intensified when have not had enough water to drink. Your morning breath will be slightly less atrocious if you drink plenty of water throughout the day and before you sleep. But if you drink a whole lot right before you go to sleep, you'll have to wake up more often to get up and visit the John:)

How do you pay for braces...when you have no money?
I've a gap between my two front teeth and a few others at the bottom. My parents think braces are obviously expensive and can't afford them. We have a dental plan but it doesn't cover braces. I've a friend who got braces for $5000 along with her sister who got hers for $3000. Her sister's teeth were a bit similar to mine -from what I heard (only her spaces were much bigger than mine). So I'm hoping I can get them for about that price, but I know every case is different, so if not I'll still get them anyway. I'm just wondering...how do you pay for braces if you don't have the money? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but I know there must be alternatives to help pay for them. I'm in school, so I also have student loans to worry about. But fixing my teeth right now for my confidence is my top priority. I'm looking for a summer job, which isn't easy, but I'm hopeful. I'm in Canada, so anyone who's also in Canada and has suggestions, pls let me know. Your views are much appreciated!!
Answer:
Well. the only way you can find out the price is actually getting a workup done.. Where they do x-rays and molds on your teeth, I dont know if there is an Apple Ortho there in Canada but here in the U.S I herd their work ups are free.. They give you a price and if you dont have the money then you can do payments over the full treatment.. SO lets say they tell you it will take 2 years. and it will cost $3500 then then that $3500 will be divided in two years... It can come up to about $100-$200 a month depending on how much it will cost you and how much you put as a down payment.. I got braces about 5 months ago.. and mine was $3500, my cousin just got braces and his was $4000 so it really depends on the severity of your case... You also have to have healthy teeth, no cavities and no problems at all.. Your teeth go thru a large amount of pressure and pain.. and they need to be healthy and in great condition to be able to stand it.. If that amount still sounds way out of your range then try going to dental schools.. they offer dental treatment with a big discount.. basically its dentist who is training and are supervised by a senior dentist... They monitor everything so you are in good hands.. if you did go down that route... good luck.. ive wanted braces for years... since i was a young teenager.. and now that I am an adult I was finally able to afford them.. If fixing your teeth is a top priority then get a summer job and help your parents do the payments... im sure you can easily.. come up with $150 a month for your soon to be beautiful smile..
Maybe your parents will help you out to get your bracesHoped I helped
I just got them. I begged and begged for them. It took forever for us to get the money... and all i have to say about braces is. RUN AWAY! RUN FAR FAR AWAY! I got them because of gaps... and they hurt like hell. No one said anything about this much pain... so run while you can still eat!
beg or pray don't steal try working %26saving for them have yard sale
Well for starters...My Ortho is in Mtl. Most Ortho will not have you pay the whole amount straight foward. I had to put up $1000 up front and finance the rest of installement on my credit card or pay cash for $150 or $174 for the rest...my ortho doesnt charge any interest. So they're financing option available. You can have a part time job to pay it off monthly

How do you make your teeth whiter?
Answer:
Crest White Strips. They have the ones that you wear for ONLY 5 minutes a day. You start to see results in about a week!!
One very simple way is to rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide for a minute. Do this about 4X per day. Make sure you rinse with warm water afterwards.
My mom says that if you brush your teeth with mashed up strawberries it will whiten them. Also brush them regularly with your toothpaste. Once a day is good. Twice is better.
I just did the Zoom whitening inmy Dentist Office, and I am happy with the color, but am unhappy with the amt of pain im in.
How do you know if you have halitosis?
i think my friend has halitosis, her breath is horrible, and it has been like that for as long as i can remember, i cant stand to be close to her, or facing her when we are talking because her breath is HORRIBLE! its like she doesnt even know, how can she not know her breath is super bad!?
how do i know if she has halitosis or not? and how can i tell her about her breath?
Answer:
Carry a pack of Trident sugarless gum with you, and when you take out a piece to chew, offer a stick to your friend. Hopefully your friend will take the hint. :-D
a true friend will tell her, and a truer friend will listen and not be offended...talk to her, and set up a code.my gf and I had codes for almost everything.bad breath, I love garlic and onions, or if we had coffee, it would be, "GOT GUM?".and she would get us both a piece of gum...she never knew unless I told her, and I figured if hers does, then mine does too, and we would thank each other...we got this one from "Yes Dear" re-runs, when the kid said, "You got bats in the cave!"...so, when we went out, before we went in stores, we did a check...heck, you wouldn't want to be walking around with your best friend having a big ol' one hangin', would you now?.so talk to her, let her know you care...give her a gift of a travel size listermint or something NON-alcoholic...be a FRIEND, show her love...and ask that she look out for you too, besides, she's your best friend, ya'll is like sisters.peace.
It could be many things. Medication, an infection, gum disease, etc. If she's a close friend, tell her in private. Or gift her a tongue scraper. I use one w/a brush at one end and the scraper on another. Or give her Listerine strips, Altoids or some gum.
It's seems like all you would have to do is tell her, but I know that's hard to do. Especially if you guys have been friends for a while. She may wonder why you haven't said anything before.Just sit her down and be real about it. Make sure you let her know you are not trying to be mean, you are just lookin' out for ya girl. Maybe she does know, and it's an internal problem that she doesn't know how to fix. Remember the product Breath Assure? It was designed for people who have halitosis and brushing and mouthwash couldn't fix it. All too often, people assume that lack of good oral hygiene is the direct cause of bad breath, but there's a lot more to it than that.

How do you know if you have a cavity?
I'm not sure if it's a cavity on some back molars or if it's just darkened. They dont hurt or anything.. And if they are cavities what happens if i do not go to the dentist? I've heard they can spread, but what happens if they spread?
Answer:
A dentist will look for caries at each office visit, regardless of whether it is a routine visit or an appointment made by the patient because of pain. The dentist will examine the teeth visually and will probe the teeth with an instrument called an explorer to determine if there are pits or areas of damage. Periodically, or if the dentist suspects hidden caries, X-rays will be taken by looking at the teeth.
the sooner you go, the better chance of fixing problems
If you have any pain. you should go see your dentist.You better call soon, there could be a wait.
Sensitivity to hot,cold or a tap on the tooth
It is not always obvious to a patient if they have a cavity. You should see your dentist routinely and they will visually check your mouth and take xrays to see if you have any decay. Some cavities start below old filling and they often go un noticed by patients. Some patients will have some symptoms though and most often with decay the sensitivity is to sweet things. If you don't go to the dentist then the cavity will get so deep that it will touch the nerve in your tooth and then instead of just another filling you will need a root canal and then a crown.
Decay can spread but that would usually take some time to do that. Well and if that happens ...you will need more then one tooth filled!!

How do you know if the hygienist removed all the calculus buildup from teeth during cleaning?
.Because I still feel a little ridge around a couple teeth while flossing..i.e., not a totally smooth flossing (but maybe it's the structure of the tooth?).
Answer:
I know you actually meant calculus and yes it is a word in the dental field as well as in math. If you still feel a little ridge when flossing, chances are she didn't do a good job. You can only get this confirmed by another dentist or hygienist and report it to your dental insurance. Or you can go back to the dentist and demand the work being done properly since you probably already paid for it. You can also report them to the BBB or Dental Association.
I don't think it's the structure of the tooth. Teeth don't have any ridges in between unless there is something wrong with them like cavities. But if you're not sure get a 2nd opinion.
I think you mean Calcium? Calculus is a type of Math.
Well, it's simple. Ask the hygienist to use the oral mirror to show you where he or she has clean. Usually it is the back teeth that has hidden calculus. Hope the info helps.Regards,

If your breath smells like logarithms or sine functions she missed some.
You can also have an x-ray to show calculus/tartar build-up under the gum tissue.Our hygienist when treating patients for scaling and root-planing, will take a before and after x-ray to check her work.She wants and does a good job. Not only that, Dr. Joe checks the quality of her work during the exam.

How do you gleak?
gleaking is when you move your tounge in your mouth and it squirts out saliva
Answer:
To Gleak...
To emit a long shot of spit from underneath your tongue. Gleaking can range from a distance of a few inches to a few feet (usually 7 feet). Gleaking is usually inherited genetically and cannot be learned.
There is a saliva gland under the tongue called the Sublingual gland. When you move your tongue just right it causes this glad to excrete saliva. and there you have it! Gleaking in a nutshell! =)
with my tongue
practice, people still do that? i cant anymore my tongue is pierced...
acording to you,, "you move your tounge in your mouth and it squirts out saliva" easy as that Robby the Emo
that's funny i learned that in middle school when i got gleaked on the back of the neck...Eat or chew something sour and push your tongue forward onto your upper and lower teeth pushing the saliva through them ...
I wish I knew how to do it, then I would know how to stop doing it. I can't stop doing it, it jsut happens. Sometimes I gleek clear across the room and hit people with it. It is embarrassing!

How do you get that white stuff that grows on your tongue away?
I don't know what its called, but its really gross, how do you get rid of it?
Answer:
It's basically bacteria (and bacterial by-products -- yuk) that break down the nutrients still clinging to your tongue after you eat. Helps bring exciting new varieties to one's breath, too.After you brush your teeth, rinse, then gently brush the top of your tongue. (Not too hard, or you can give your tongue sores, instead.) Use a motion like you're sweeping crumbs off the table, rinse, and repeat a few times. Do this **every time** you brush, and after few days you should start noticing some improvement.By accident I recently discovered that drinking a little 100% grape juice after dinner helps to reduce the amount of gunk that's on my tongue when I brush before bedtime. I'm not sure why it works, though, and for some reason wine doesn't seem to have the same effect.
mouth wash b4 you brush then brush your tongue after your teeth
tongue scraper.you can find it in any drug store.
Brush your teeth then brush your tongue rinse it and then gargle any mouthwash. I prefer the mouthwash that don't have any color in it so it will not stain your teeth. Remember do it for the rest of your life.
When brushing your teeth give your tongue a wee brush aswell, then use a mouthwash. I use Listerine mouthwash which is really good.
Hi the white coating on the tongue is usually from the stomach not digesting properly.. Avoid sugars and reduce stress try to make your body more alkaline instead of acidic... Also I will use grapefruit seed extract to gargle with its found at health stores and is effective . However its very bitter so I will brush my mouth afterwards again..
Use a tongue scraper. I use one w/a brush on one end and a scraper. Instead of brushing just up and down, gently brush in a few directions then scrape. If I eat a lot of junk food, I get the white tongue. If it doesn't work, it might be an infection. Best to see a doc then. Good luck!

How do you get rid of ulcers in your mouth?
Answer:
Swish with a salt water rinse. Or if you can handle it, you can put the salt directly on the ulcer.Another thing you can do is mix 陆 peroxide and 陆 mouthwash solution together. Please don't put the peroxide straight into your mouth as it is strong and can purn your oral tissue. By mixing the both together, you are diluting the peroxide and flavoring the peroxide because it taste horrible! This will clean and help to heal the ulcer faster. When rinsing with this solution, it will bubble alot. Continue to rinse with it until you can't keep the bubbles in your mouth any longer. You can also use a spice called Alum, which you can usually get at the gracery store, it is used for pickling. Put al little of it into the ulcer and keep it there for about 5 minutes or so, then rinse it off. It will hurt at first. Within 2 days it is usually gone.
It depends on the under lying cause of the ulcer. Is it painful? if it is then the possible causes are trauma and viral infections. In the case of trauma just keep it clean and it will resolve itself. in a after a day it shoul feel better. Most viral infections resolve by themselves as well but may take a week or two to do so. Painless ulcers that persist for mor than two weeks may require professional attention and may need to be biopsied.
How do you get rid of toothache pain?
My husband had a sleepless night b/c his tooth was in soo much pain. He has this shooting pain that bothers him like crazy. He's such in a miserable mood. Please help me. Any suggestions for temporary relief before he goes to the dentist.
Answer:
My dad had a sharp pain like that in his tooth a while ago as well, and he bought a gel that helped numb the pain when he applied it to his tooth. Not sure what the name of it is, but I'm sure you can probably pick it up at a drug store or a supermarket.
Has he tried Oragel, hot compresses, and a BC powder or Extra Strength Tylenol? I know this has helped me in the past until I could get to the dentist. I would put on the Oragel, make a hot compress, and take a BC powder or Extra Strength Tylenol every four hours and it would help with the pain. The oragel and hot compresses really help also. Hope this helps and good luck.
i really dont no im so sorry the things that help take toothache away is a special mouth wash the dentist gives you. I tell you wat you can do is go into any pharmasy and ask them what the toothache medicine i.e pills, mouthwash but tell him to get to the dentist asoon as posible good luck send my regards.
Oh I feel for him and you. My husband went through this 2yrs ago. He had severe pain in one of his bottom teeth. The pain would go from his tooth right up into his ear. Was really bad. He tried to use Orajel and Ambesol. These only made it worse. They made the tooth infected. He ended up at the ER and they admitted him right away. He had surgery that same night.The doctor came out of surgery when it was done and told me that if I hadn't brought him in when I did, he would have died from the poison going into his blood from the tooth infection. You should not wait until he sees the dentist. He may need antibiotics and pain relievers from a doctor. You need to take him to your local Emergency Room for help. They will give him something for the pain. Good luck and don't wait!!
see a dentist
He could have a cavity. It happened to me once. Ask the doctor. Or use a pain relief medicine like Tylenol.
Well I was dealing with the same thing, sort a. What I am saying is, I had a tooth ache for about a mouth before I got the nerve to call and make the appointment (I am scared to death of a dentist). So I used Kanka, you can get it at Wal-Mart where all the medicines for toothaches are at. It works very fast and last for awhile. Been to my dentist now, on pain medicine and antibiotic, the tooth has to come out. So I am still using it in between times for my pain pill. It comes in a small bottle with a blue cap on it. I think it works great as it is so fast. And you can use it as often as you need to. There is one that has the "dropper" and one that has a soft brush with it. I use both of them. They are not really that expensive either. I have used Orajel as well but Kanka worked faster, longer and better for me.Hope this helped you out.
Get to the dentist as soon as possible.I can tell you how to get rid of the pain until he gets help. The hint comes from a Chinese-Canadian dentist who uses the method instead of freezing for all dental work.
Pinch the earlobe on the side where the pain is and it will disappear within 10 minutes. (The dentist attaches a clothes peg to the earlobe.) A tight-fitting clip-on earring will also do the trick. It has to be tight, and it has to be continuous.
Acupuncture in the same spot would help, too, of course.
As a dentist myself I highly recommend that your husband see your regular dentist as soon as possible. If the pain is severe you might consider trying your dentist's emergency number or even a trip to your local emergency room as the doctor or dentist may need to prescribe you some antibiotics and stronger pain medications. A severe toothache can be caused by a number of things as simple as a cavity to the more severe like an abscessed tooth. Your husband should try Motrin as this will help with pain and inflammation and try using COLD compresses, do NOT use heat because if the tooth is abscessed the heat can cause the infection to spread to the throat causing airway obstructions and can also spread to the heart and brain. See your regular dentist as soon as possible to discuss treatment options.
Answer:
My dad had a sharp pain like that in his tooth a while ago as well, and he bought a gel that helped numb the pain when he applied it to his tooth. Not sure what the name of it is, but I'm sure you can probably pick it up at a drug store or a supermarket.
Has he tried Oragel, hot compresses, and a BC powder or Extra Strength Tylenol? I know this has helped me in the past until I could get to the dentist. I would put on the Oragel, make a hot compress, and take a BC powder or Extra Strength Tylenol every four hours and it would help with the pain. The oragel and hot compresses really help also. Hope this helps and good luck.
i really dont no im so sorry the things that help take toothache away is a special mouth wash the dentist gives you. I tell you wat you can do is go into any pharmasy and ask them what the toothache medicine i.e pills, mouthwash but tell him to get to the dentist asoon as posible good luck send my regards.
Oh I feel for him and you. My husband went through this 2yrs ago. He had severe pain in one of his bottom teeth. The pain would go from his tooth right up into his ear. Was really bad. He tried to use Orajel and Ambesol. These only made it worse. They made the tooth infected. He ended up at the ER and they admitted him right away. He had surgery that same night.The doctor came out of surgery when it was done and told me that if I hadn't brought him in when I did, he would have died from the poison going into his blood from the tooth infection. You should not wait until he sees the dentist. He may need antibiotics and pain relievers from a doctor. You need to take him to your local Emergency Room for help. They will give him something for the pain. Good luck and don't wait!!
