Deacying teeth?
Question:
I've had braces for almost 2 years and my orthodontist has never once said my teeth were bad so I though things were fine. I alwyas brush my teeth and floss
But I go to the dentist and he says i have 2 dozen cavities/decaying teeth
I'm so scared. What's going to happen? :(
Answers:
GET A SECOND OPINION! Find another reputable dentist, then call your dental insurance or have your mom do it (how old are you?) and tell the person what's going on. Ask for a referral to see another dentist. Otherwise, insist on the dentist showing you the x-rays of each and every cavity!
they will have to be filled=but it depends on how much longer you needs to have the braces on
fasle teeth.......
Here are some Natural Home Remedies for toothache
Go to your pharmacist to ask for a fluoride mouth wash. Use it twice a day, and start flossing with toothaste on the string (gently!). Go to http://www.oceansurgical.com.au/... to find out more
They will get you numb and remove all of the decay. Once that is removed they will put some Prime & Bond or Vitrabond inside the tooth which will help the tooth to be not as sensitive. It is very common for new fillings to be sensitive. They will use a light to dry the solution.Then they will put the filling material in whether it be an amalgam(silver) filling or a composite(tooth colored) filling and then they will make you bite on some carbon paper to make sure that you are not putting too much pressure on that tooth and if you are then they will adjust it. Thats all. You will do fine. I always thought that the hardest part is keeping your mouth open for so long. Good Luck!
24 cavities? That can't be right. Please get a second opinion.
