I have a front tooth chipped, and we don't exactly have the funds to go to a dentist and have it cosmetically touched up. Perhaps I'm vain, but appearance means a lot to me. I was thinking about just taking a nail file and just barely filing it down a tad. Just so the edge isn't so prominent. Here are some pictures of it so you can see what I am talking about...
(Not for the squeamish, it is pretty gross getting a close-up on a persons mouth!)

[IMG]http://i150.photobucket.com/al...So, please tell me if it would be okay to slightly file down that edge...best answer gets 10 points!! :D
Answer:
I wouldn't try doing this yourself. I work for a dentist and we don't charge to file down a tooth. Call around and see if there is a dentist in the area that is willing to file this for you without charging much or non at all. Looking at the picture though you will probably need a small bonded filling placed to fix it correctly, but filing it can do for now.
You can get the job with a nail file or any other instrument. But your risk chipping your tooth, or making it sensitive to cold afterwords.The best way is go to the dentist, it shouldn't cost a lot making a job like that.
I would highly recommend against self dentistry. It may seem like a small edge to file down, but it's a tooth, not a nail. A nail file will not do the job. There is a reason why dentists use drills with special bits for filing down teeth, teeth are bone ... which is very hard. You would only frustrate yourself and ruin your nailfile if you tried it the way you are considering. You don't have the tools to file a tooth.It may not be the answer you want, but you should save your money and go talk to a couple dentists about what it would cost to do the job. I think you may find that it is not as expensive as you think, and it will be done much better by a trained professional. You may have to learn to live with the chip in the short term.
Wether it's ok or not would of course be best answered by a dentist (which you stated you aren't going to). But if you had to do it your self you could use a dremmil tool (not sure about the spelling on that). They have different attachments, some less abrassive than others. I would think doing it yourself would NOT be recomended no matter what you used though. Also you better hope you don't have any nerve exposed! OUCH! Personaly, I would call around and possibly find a resonable dentist, especially if your appearence is that important to you (I don't think it would cost much, cause it wouldn't take very long). Best of luck!
MY ADVISE IS TO GO TO A DENTAL SURGEON TO GET IT CORRECTED . IF YOU TRY TO FILE YOURSELF IT WILL LEAD TO 1) POOR ESTHETICS, 2) MOREOVER YOU MAY INJURE THE TOOTH PULP. SO GO TO A DENTAL SURGEON %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
I can't tell you that this would end in a good result and you could possibly make things worse by attempting such a maneuver but I would suggest at least calling a few different dentists and explaining your situation. It is possible that they would let you make payments or it is just possible that one of them will do it on a charity basis. You will not know until you call so do this at least before doing possible further damage or going completely insane in the attempt and finding you will still need to make an appointment to get it fixed.

How do I deal with bad breath after I got my wisdom teeth pulled?
I got my wisdom teeth removed Thursday. It is now Tuesday, the pain has gone away for the most part but now I am dealing with bad breath. I had all 4 taken out, the top two were out of the gums, so I have holes where I get food stuck but its a lot easier to clean cause I can reach it with my tongue and a q-tip.However, my bottom ones had to be cut into, I can barely even see the hole. If I spread my cheeks wide enough, I can see some red where I believe the incision was made.How do I deal with this bad breath? How do I clean my holes? Will I have to worry about this until the holes fill up?Also, I noticed that all the stitches dissolved Monday night, which is 4 days after the operation. Is this normal?
Answer:
To deal with your holes, gargle with warm salt water. You want to make sure that your holes are clean until they fill in, if not, it may cause an infection. As for the bad breath, scrub the hell out of your tongue, and just make sure those sockets are clean. Stitches dissolving, is normal. A lot of the times its easier on the patient and the doc if the stitches dissolve. Its normal, there are two kinds of stitches (sutures) that i am aware of, the silk, and the gutta. one dissolves and one has to be cut and removed. You'll be ok, just keep the sockets clean! Get well!
Gargle a lot until your mouth is completely healed. The holes will eventually fill in,.
Call your oral surgeon and ask them what is best. I have used salt water,,,slosh it slowly around in your mouth and spit gently.
The dentist should've given you some sort of antiseptic prescription mouthwash, he did for me, and this little squirty tube to get "food" out of your "holes"
Keep rinsing with salt water followed by a mouthwash. Also, pay attention to brushing. Maybe you slacked a bit because of pain.
Rinse with Listerine, it is a very powerful mouthwash that should get rid of any germs that cause bad breath. I don't know about your stitches though, call your doctor.
Eat yogurt often,as it have some gem which can kill other gem that cause bad breath.
well usually a slice of bread helps with the bad breath. with cleaning the holes i really dont know but just make sure you brush twice a day so they clean good. the rest im not sure of. : /
Are you rinsing with warm salty water? Rinse often. That will help. Also an antiseptic mouthwash. You have to keep those areas clean because the last thing you want is an infection.Also...the stitches dissolving is normal.They do eventually fill in, but it is something you have to be aware of for a while.
1 teaspoon baking soda %26 1 teaspoon salt mixed in warm water. Use this as a mouth rinse, it will freshen breath and help with healing.
There is this product called Smartmouth, you can do a google search on it. It comes in mouthwash, gum and toothpaste. Probably the bleeding is making your breath smell badly so that's normal since you did get your wisdom teeth removed. I didn't get mine removed but when they were coming out, I had a lot of bleeding and my breath smelled bad due to that. I don't think you have much to worry about if you are following your doctor's advice to a T. If you feel you have an infection, then you should call your doc immediately. I'm sure you were prescribed antibiotics and mouthwash for that. The holes will fill up with gum tissue so don't worry about that.
try shovin' the brush way back there as long as it doesn't hurt. or brush for like 4-5 minutes, all over the place, including the toung. try some mouth wash, but that gets annoying to keep buying. Brush your toung also. You might just be basically screwed with bad breath, but just try brushing your teeth more. Maybe you just have bad breath in general from being hungry with a dry mouth. ya know. I know some foo's w/ bad breath who never had their's pulled. Bad breath may also be caused by hydrogentated oil.
The stitches dissolved pretty much right on schedule. You should also be brushing your teeth and tongue on a daily basis, at least once a day and preferably two or three. You can also do a gentle swish rinse anytime you need to, and probably after you've eaten. That should help remove any food particles stuck in the spots. You could use an antiseptic mouth rinse, though it might sting the op sites. The redness is normal, it's due to an increased blood supply in the area which needs to be healed. Keep your tongue out of the open spots, though. The mouth is naturally full of bacteria, which don't cause problems unless they get into the gums- and you currently have open spots with welcome mats out. The holes will gradually fill themselves in over the next few months, from the bottom outwards to the top of the gums. Until they have filled enough not to be repositories for food bits, you should continue the swish rinse of your mouth after eating. You can do it with just plain water, and swallow after the swish, it won't hurt a thing if you don't spit it out. Part of the dragon breath could also be due to the blood clots formed as seals over the exposed bone. You don't want to displace those, though, as that's what helps block infection from the jawbone. As the gumline heals, you should notice a lot less problem. Meantime, brush, floss, and swish rinse. And tic-tacs/breath mints are okay in between.
I just had mines taken out about 2 weeks ago. Two impacted and 2 fully out. For bad breath, my doc said to brush your teeth gently. It's going to happens cuz your body's healing. Rinsing with warm salt water after every meal can help dislodge the food and promotes healing. The holes completely heal in about 2 months. My left side stitches fell out on day 3. Then the rest withing 5-6 days. Book a follow-up appt to make sure all is healing well and to dislodge any tiny pieces of food if needed. I still rinse afer every meal and it's been about 2 weeks. Good luck!
hi. i find with any dental problems at all, i can gargle with some hydrogen peroxide and it helps so much. its amazing! the peroxide kills germs and helps with the healing too. when i say gargle, i also mean squish the solution between all of your teeth back and forth about ten times,spit it out then rinse with plain water and repeat it. i do it every morning and every evening. good luck.
A few seeds of cardamom chewed for a brief while will clear your mouth of bad breath. Chew parsley leaves,which are sure to keep your breath fresh. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/

How do I cure my loose tooth?
Its been months since my classmate accidentally hit me with his elbow in my mouth.Causing my 4 lower incisors to be loose a little.My dentist told me not to bite on it so i didnt. But its been almost 3 months since that incident and my teeth are still loose!What do I do?I drink milk every night but still nothing happens. Please help :((
Answer:
If your teeth are in braces already they tend to be a little, and I stress a little loose anyway because of what the braces do. Most of the time if someone gets clobbered while wearing braces, braces act like a stabilizer, so another words, having the braces on may have saved you from having any of those teeth knocked out. Lower anterior teeth have small roots and will take time to settle in. Milk is only helpful in the formation of teeth, and there are incidents that if a tooth is knocked out, patients are told to put it in a container of milk until they reach their dental office (same day) this buys some time to hopefully preserve the tooth and be placed back in the socket.
Your dentist is correct.
If you had no braces your dentist could splint the teeth together for added strength until they get more stable. Your dentist may want to keep an eye on these teeth to make sure that somewhere down the road they don't abscess. Teeth can abscess due to trauma as well as decay.
Sorry, I know you didn't want to hear that, but it is better to be prepared and keep an eye on things
pull them out....i'll help!
umm did your dentist say they were going to just be tight again? he/she didnt do anything to press them back in?
call a plumber
don't worry but visit another dentist!!
these are permanant teeth right? you need to go back to the doc. he may need to wire them in place or he may send you to an orthodontist.
1. Go to an Oral Doctor..
2. Kick the **** out of your mate..
3. Find a good lawyer..Hope it helps, haha!

How do I convince my boyfriend to go to the dentist? HELP!?
He constantly has terrible breath (which he denies when I tell him this), and his gums badly bleed often when he brushes. When he sleeps, the bad breath fills the room he is in and I can't stand to sleep there too! He hasn't been to the dentist in 3 years, smokes, and doesn't eat the healthiest.
Answer:
Be very firm with him and tell him he needs to see a dentist--there is no way to beat around the bush--if this is serious then he needs to go now. Tell him the truth--your his girl he will take it best from you.
Threaten to break up with him, and date someone with shiny, pearly white teeth and minty fresh breath. I think Fabio is available at the right price.
dont kiss him or give him any action till he sees the dentist, that will make any man do what he got to do. Tell him he turns you off with that breath
Eeekk! You need to tell him that his lack of hygiene is turning you off and you think he needs to go to the dentist before hes toothless. Scare him a little about him losing teeth for his lack of attention in that department.
if you've already asked him to go to the dentist and he won't, then it's time to take ACTION! if you don't wanna let him go, go without taking a shower for a couple weeks or until he decides he will go to a dentist for you.
gross..my brother had the same problem...honestly though I had to keep telling him that's disgusting, no one wants to kiss someone with bloody gums and bad breath. Ask him if the rolls were switched and you were the one with constantly bad hygiene, would he want to kiss you?
That's horrible. He's probably got severe gingivitis - it can be aggravated by smoking, and that's what's causing the bleeding gums and APPALLING breath.Next time he denies his bad breath, tell him to lick the back of his hand, let it dry then sniff it. Believe me he'll realise the problem.The fact that you're no longer willing to share his bed should be enough to get him to start looking after himself. Try and find the worst pictures you can of gingivitis sufferers on Google. And if he still refuses to see the dentist you might want to reconsider how much you want to be with a guy who you can't even kiss because he's so gross.
Use your power over men - cut him off! Then...tell him how it affects you. This is for his own good. The bad breath is most likely from bacteria in his mouth (hence, the bleeding gums). If he is a rational person, you can share with him that people with bad dental hygiene are more likely to have heart failure. (This is documented.) Bacteria that grow in the mouth, when excessive, find their way into the blood stream and weaken the heart muscle. So if he doesn't want to be around in 10 years or so, then tell him to just keep on with the bad dental hygiene (I assume he doesn't floss or use germ-killing mouthwash).
how about you make appointments for both of you and go together? you could, of course, say its a shopping/restaurant/cinema trip and just kind of drop in to the dentist on your own behalf!
you can even go into the surgery with him and help him get over the fear.
if he's nervous then make sure the dentist knows, they are usually very kind and helpful people.
first of all, that's gross! ya need to put that homeboy in check...or bounce! can you actually stand to kiss him!? he's probably not believing you b/c you're his girlfriend. he may need to hear it from other peers or maybe family members. has his parents noticed it, in particular his mom? i think check-ups with the dentist are like twice a year, right? find him a dentist, make an appointment for him, and make him go! oh, and go buy some glade plug-ins until then. good luck, and tell stank-stank good luck too!
tell him if he wont go you will brake up with him that will work
Why doesn't he want to go to the dentist? Is it because of fear? Or just because he doesn't think he needs to go? I didn't like going to the dentist either - until I found one that does laser dentistry. Now I actually look forward to seeing him! My reason was fear of needles and pain. There are ways to treat dental issues without needles or pain, which makes it less fearful. His bad breath can also be attributed to other things that are not dental - but that's something his doctor and dentist would have to determine. I guess the best way to convince him is to stop sleeping in the same room and tell him that unless he gets help, no more kisses. That did it for my husband - he used to not like to brush his teeth as often as he should. I told him that not only was that gross because of the smell, but it's not healthy. He loves me enough that he has taken great steps to improve his health - and not just his dental health. But your guy shouldn't do it just for you - he should want to be healthy. Dental health is just as important to overall health as eating right and exercising.
tell him straight out to get it fixed or he will be spending all his time alone.
Let him know that the dentist has seen all types of things %26 that his problem will not shock the doctor. encourage him a he should do whats best.
eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww throw him in the car and take him there!!!!!!
dump him and become a dental hygenist..
Gums bleeding is often a sign of brushing too hard. As for the bad breath, that could very well be a mixture of eating bad and smoking. Make sure he brushes his tongue, as most of the bacteria that causes bad breath are located there. You should make an appointment for both of you and ask him to come along. Tell him you care enough about him to look out for his hygiene. If he understands he'll go.
I had a friend just like your boyfriend. Didn't believe that his breath was horrible! It took people avoiding him to make him get the picture! Perhaps you should just stop sleeping in the same room. Also, no kissing. Keep on telling him that you love him and want to be with him but you can't stand his breath. You should also inform him that there has been a direct link shown between gum disease (periodontal disease) and heart disease! Stress that you worry about his health... oral and physical. Also, mouth cancer is the 6th most common cancer and is usually caught during a routine dental exam.
hopefully u r not kissing him / just be blunt / either go to the dentist / or sleep in other room / no more from me / i am not trying to be funny / /BUT if the smell is that bad /how can u stand to be in same room/ if he does say he will go ./ go with him / i think he may be afraid of dentist / there is a dental disease /that causes gum and teeth bleeding / good luck

How do I become a dental assistant w/out attending a school. Don't any dentist hire assistants w/out?
experience? For the assistants out there. did you go to school to be an assistant? I want to pursue being a hygientist, but I think it's pointless to go to school to be an assistant? It seems like you could pretty much be trained on the job??
Answer:
As a denitst I can tell you that most dentists are always looking for someone who has attended school and has had the formal training, this causes less time the dentist has to train and more time being focused on patient care itself. Good luck with your future career and check around in your area, there may be a dentist willing to let you train on the job.
Usually they want an experianced assistant with an education cuz think of it this way sometimes when u are at the dentist if he is really busy his assistant will do some of the work if u were at the dentist would u want somebody screwing with your teeth who had no clue what they were doing.
Unless you know someone that knows someone you are SOL. In this day and age YES, you have to go to school. For almost everything. I am a medical Asssistant and since I haven't done the job in well over 20 years in order for me to become gainfully employed I have to retrain. Go to school. There is money it that field also. But, you must be a people person. And like your work.
yes you can be trained on the job but the state will not allow you to do xrays, impressions, polishing, etc. about the only thing you can do is clean and sterilize or suction spit. i don't pay too much per hour to an assistant unless she can do these extra duties.i couldn't agree with you more on going on to become a hygienist. you make more than double (upwards of $40 an hour) and you don't clean up after anyone other than yourself. go for it!
I started working at a dental office five days after I graduated high school and I had no experience. I stayed there 6 years. There are some dentists that are willing to train you. We hired a girl that had gone to school for assisting and she said that I knew more than she did when it came to assisting. It is better to have the hands on training.
Answer:
As a denitst I can tell you that most dentists are always looking for someone who has attended school and has had the formal training, this causes less time the dentist has to train and more time being focused on patient care itself. Good luck with your future career and check around in your area, there may be a dentist willing to let you train on the job.
Usually they want an experianced assistant with an education cuz think of it this way sometimes when u are at the dentist if he is really busy his assistant will do some of the work if u were at the dentist would u want somebody screwing with your teeth who had no clue what they were doing.
Unless you know someone that knows someone you are SOL. In this day and age YES, you have to go to school. For almost everything.

How do fight bad breath?
-don't tell me to buy anything but you can suggest toothpastes if needed
-home remedies
-don't answer if you'll just do it for 2 points (you are so shallow)
Answer:
Found this at http://www.care2.com/greenliving/three-n...Many plant materials are extraordinary at killing bacteria, and they can help combat gum disease. All three of these plant materials in particular kill bad breath:
clove buds
cinnamon sticks
cardamon seeds Chew, taking care not to swallow.
Brushing your tongue is actually the best way to fight bad breath.
the root cause might be in your stomachbad digestion or in your rotten teeth
Brush your teeth and your tongue. Brushing your tongue is key in this process if you want to be successful.
your tongue should be pink and not white. White means bad breath causing bacteria. Also floss frequently.
You don't really need tooth paste I have found a plain moist tooth brush works better for me when brushing my tongue, cause the bristles get right to it and removes the white bacteria. It can cause you to gag, just be quick 10 - 15 seconds and repeat if needed. Then you can go back and use tooth paste for the taste. The gag is worth it.
Keep hydrated a dry mouth is a stinky mouth.
This should work because you are getting rid of the source of bad breath. Everything else will only mask it.If this doesn't work then seek medical help. Some health conditions can cause bad breath that comes from the stomach and not from your mouth.
Good luck.
First and foremost, stop worrying, this is an easily sorted problem, obviously a checkup with your dentist is advised to see if you have any dental work,gum disease etc that needs attending to, in the meantime try to hydrate as much as is advised daily, maybe give your diet a fresher approach and finally try to keep your mouth and tongue as clean as possible, you should then start reaping the rewards. Hope this is helpful?
-chew on parsley
-eat lemon
-brush tongue
-mouthwash every am/pm
all good answrs above. try chewing on some natural mint leaves. they taste great.
Bad breath is caused by bacteria in your mouth. To control bed breath, you should get regular cleanings (every 6 months), brush at least two times a day, floss regularly (once a day would be nice), and rinse with mouth wash (listerine is best, and they have a new vanilla flavor that doesn't taste so strong). Good luck!
A few seeds of cardamom chewed for a brief while will clear your mouth of bad breath. Chew parsley leaves,which are sure to keep your breath fresh. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/

How do dentists determine that a very bad looking teeth can still be saved?
I had a bridge that just fell out and under it my two teeth are very decayed , big holes and ugly looking%26smelling. Both have had root canals previously and have been "worked" out for the bridge. Both look very bad to me and one of them have even an infection with pus , but the dentist said he can treat them with AB and then do a root canal again and a bridge. I rather extract them than come back in a year after paying so much money again for the bridge . He seems very young and I don't know how experienced. What is your opinion?
Answer:
usually they say what will get them the most money and fixing them brigs in more than puling them and replacing them
In my opinion, YOU should get a second opinion. While youth isn't necessarily bad, it can mean a lack of experience, a lack of good judgement, or even someone who is just starting out and is just plain GREEDY. In particular, if this was the dentist who did the first root canals, I would make a beeline OUT of his office and find another dentist. While the enamel might have decayed on the remaining portions of the tooth, the pulp and dentin should have been FULLY destroyed during the first root canals; since you have an infection in those teeth, clearly whoever did them missed something major.
i recently went through a bad experience like you but almost lost my ife when the infection went under my chin.the infection got to the point were i could hardly open mouth,tongue swollen then could hardly breath.had emegency surgery got teeth removed.pull them out he may want the money.
teeth are for the weak
I would get a second opinion. Couldn't hurt. It's my teeth and money after all. =)
