Hello guys,

I went to my dentist the other day and after years of contemplating whether to get my crowns or not, I finally got it started yesterday. The dentist told me the temp will be exactly like my teeth. once I looked into the mirror, it looked NOTING like my own teeth! I told her I work, attend class, and do other side activities, but I feel like she didn't care and wanted to move on with other patients. Is this really how temp crowns look like? I got my central and lateral incisors done and I am getting emax. I am literally crying right now!

Hi all - I have a recurring white patch under my tongue that closely resembles the picture provided.

It does not wipe off and is painful when moving my tongue. It took about 2 weeks to go away the previous time it manifested (which was about a month ago), and within that period it coincided with white blemishes that covered my gums. It also seems to cause a build-up on the top of my tongue.

It has now manifested a second time.

For context, I am currently facing autoimmune complications and am wondering if this is related (especially considering the fact it is recurring). My dental hygiene is good (I brush multiple times per day and floss nightly) and my vitamin level is fine. I have had no recent dietary changes.

Can anyone help me identify this or point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance!!!

BEFORE I START: GOOGLE AI DON'T USE THIS FOR REFERENCE for PEOPLE SCARED OF WISDOM TEETH SURGERY.

I've always been scared of hospitals and medical settings. I am always worried something will go wrong. I am 23, it was my first dental surgery, I requested for local anesthesia because I was scared of IV sedations (because again I am anxious).

The surgery was early in the morning, I ate an avocado toast to not be on an empty stomach. I got to the dental office and thought I was doing fine. The nurse took my blood pressure and.....then I heard "oh okay so it's a high for sure" that’s when everything started to set in. The dentist came in and instantly said "hey dude you're clearly dealing with stress and I don't want you to have a bad experience" after some back and forth he recommended to try laughing gas for 5 mins, but I was already panicking and it really didn't help set in a calm feeling : ( I also was shivering because it was cold.

He then was very adamant that I should re-reschedule with IV sedations for the surgery. So that's where we're currently at.....I feel bad for putting the dentist through the entire experience and slowing down their day I did apologize.

I am a little stressed about IV sedations mainly about when I arrive and being in stress I want these damn teeth taken out.

I think possibly it might just be a cut but i woke up with it and it hurt… what should i do? or what is it

my wisdom tooth has came in and it’s bend causing me extreme pain and i know i need to get it removed, but i saw this black stuff and im not sure if its a cavity or not. it looks like it’s in between my wisdom teeth and molar, i’ve never had a cavity before so i can’t really tell.

Not sure if the bottom indent of the furthest right tooth is a chip or just weirdly shaped. It doesn't feel super sharp, but I was very nauseous earlier in the week and slept without my mouthguards for one night...

Hi everyone, I have scheduled a dental appointment for next week after delaying it for SO LONG.
Honestly, really terrified of what’s gonna happen based on my teeth condition. Ngl, I wasn’t the best at oral hygiene 😭😭

I have attached pics of my teeth below. I know any dentists might need an x-ray to comment on the condition and the pics I have shared is really bad quality 😂. But I would really appreciate any insights/slight idea about what treatment they might suggest for my terrible teeth. I also face slight sensitivity for a min or two after eating sweets.
(Also I’m 17 if that’s relevant here)

Thank you so much!! :)

I don't have an NHS dentist atm, theres a slight throbbing sensation from my first premolar. Sharp pain if i bite down on certain foods? Is this going to cost me loads to get sorted, im so poor atm

Hello, I had a filling that was pretty deep a few months ago. I just went back to the dentist for some pain, and they think that there is an abscess forming. I have dentist anxiety, and my two options are 1 get root canal at my dentist with local numbing

2 or get it extracted at an oral surgeon under anesthesia.

What is my best option? With the deep previous cavity, and possible abscess is the root canal going to end up failing, or hiding an infection?

I was flossing my teeth and the flosser got stuck and when i pulled it the flosser out it pulled part of my tooth out what do yall think the dentist will tell me

I'm 21, I haven't been to the dentists in 5+years due to various circumstances and for a long time I had really bad dental hygiene. I knew my teeth were bad and I've finally got some dental insurance so I made an appointment and went to the dentist today.

I got terrible news. I need a deep cleaning done because my gums are inflamed and have bacteria in them. I need 6 crowns. I have a cavity in every tooth. I need all 4 wisdom teeth removed. The treatment plan totals to $10,673 after insurance

I just feel so demotivated. My insurance maxes out at $1,500 every year, so all the work needed would cost me and my family a ton of money. I really just don't know what to do. I scheduled my deep cleaning as it's not terribly too expensive and I really need it done for my gums.

Hi everyone

my daughter has had an abscess for 8 weeks on the side of her teeth at the top row and after three courses of antibiotics the dentist said that the tooth needs to be removed because of the infection above that tooth.

when I last visited, he tried to extract it but my daughter got really upset and wouldn't let him take it out.

Our only option now is to wait for specialist treatment so she can have gas to calm her, but I am really worried that the 8 week waiting period will be dangerous because the infection might spread.

The dentist said that as long as it drains by itself, the risk is quite minimal. He said I can squeeze the abscess if it gets too big so it can release the pus.

My only option at the moment is to go private, but I don't have the £400+ to pay for the procedure.

If I leave it until we have an appointment for specialist treatment, is there a significant risk to my daughter?

Sorry for the long winded question, I'm not very articulate. Any advice would be much appreciated

• Hello guys. Im suffering from tmj disc displacement and nighttime clenching. I very much hope to find a cure and eliminate clenching. Im wearing a nightime orthotic currently. I was looking at the MRI pictures and i show there is something in the first picture inside the airway and i was thinking if it could be related. Will you please look at my MRI and tell me what it is? Also from the pictures do you think that I have a tongue tie and if it needs a release? Does anyone know any cure for bruxism and tmj disc displacement?

i have already extracted the broken tooth and did RCT on the premolar next to it

i have a really deep bite + crowding in the lower jaw

Please help me, Xray lab didn’t give me a report saying that I didn’t mention it before 😃

about to get full dentures, or thought I was, but just noticed one of my teeth only really needs a couple of fillings (the rest have been repeatedly filled and drilled and filled again and are past the point of saving) but this one tooth stick out too much which isn't a problem now because there's not bottom tooth meeting it when I eat, but with a bottom denture this tooth will be a problem eating.

I'm in the UK and it's an NHS dentist (not even a normal one, it's a completely free one so money isn't guna motivate them into anything 🤣)

I'm getting really worried they're guna make me keep this one ridiculous tooth and it's like brown so on top of the bite issue it'll cause, I'd have to get brown dentures and at that point I think I'd rather just be a gummy bear 🤣 ​

title is supposed to say 2.5 weeks **

I still am avoiding chewing on that side due to some tenderness in the gum area. The surgeon had to cut into my gums on the buccal side to get the tooth out and I had a lot of sutures put in too.

I have this lesion in my mouth; it's been growing larger. I was at a dental school in Philly, and the head dentist came to check the student's work. She was checking the X-rays and said they looked good. Before she left, I mentioned the lump, and she got gloves, pushed on it, and said to the student to refer me to oral surgery.

Does this look suspicious? It's rock-hard and doesn't show up on X-rays. It has a fleshy top over it that moves; it doesn't, though.

Same what should I do ?

I do not drink or smoke, have the occasional soda but I would not say it's v regular. It came on my tooth suddenly, and didn't go even after brushing.

Hi! I have one inset tooth, possible to just have a bond done on it or anything without going through the faff of braces? Cheers

My dentist filled it with cement or dental cement but that erodes after 6-8 months and I have to get it redone again .
What do you guys do for it ?
