Why do English people have bad breath?
Answer:
They drink to much coffee and gaugle their mouths with sewage water.
Maybe good oral hygiene is not important to them.
Don't think you can make that generalisation..
That's a pretty broad generalization! Usually bad breath is the result of poor oral hygiene. Brush and floss and see the dentist at least twice yearly.
Do you ever think before generalizing?
Do you have the capacity for intelectial growth or will you continue to look this stupid to me forever?Buff.
To prevent ugly foreigners like you trying to kiss them.
i'm english and my dental hygiene and my breath is just fine, thank you very much! maybe you have only met scutters who don't brush their teeth!! maybe you should try meeting nicer people in nicer cleaner places rather than in the gutter! how is your breath? maybe its yours that smells and you don't realise??
It is not the English people that have bad breath but kind of people that may have bad breath and they can be from anywhere. Generally the reasons for this are:
1. They have bad stomach - one must crap every morning!!
2. They do not brush their teeth properly - twice a day is ideal
3. They have diseased teeth/gums.
Generally people who have bad breath are not aware of it and if you are close to them there is no harm in making them aware of it.
because the dont talk much, bad air cant circulate and remain in their mouth and cause bad breath, i think...
Why don't you have good manners?
Why do dentists make you take antibiotics every time you get a tooth pulled?
I had a wisdom tooth pulled and was on amoxicillan for a week then a molar next to it and am on penecillan for a week. What a pain! And now I have a head cold to boot! Geesh!
Answer:
They don't always make you take antibiotics after every extraction. Only when it is indicated.
But you are right! It is not a good thing to take antibiotics needlessly. There are problems with them. But what a wonderful thing it is when you need them.
Because like any other form of surgery, there is always a risk of infection. Therefore antibiotics.
Because there's a gaping hole in your mouth. That's an open door for bacteria and other foreign objects to move in and cause an infection. Antibiotics help prevent those infections.
To prevent infection.When I had a wisdom tooth pulled, I had to take an antibiotic before I had it pulled because I had an infection in the tooth.
so u won't get infection
Without the antibiotics, you risk infection that would be far mor painfull and possibly deadly.
Want prevent you from getting an infection.

Why do dentists always try and talk to you when they are working on your mouth?
Its not as if you can answer back with any dignerty. And to make matters worse mine has death breath.
Answer:
I like it when my dentist talks to me. It is soothing to me. My dentist that I went to growing up him and the nurse would talk about their day and trips they have gone on. I was so busy concentrating on them talking that it took away from any discomfort of the procedure that they were doing. Smart dentists do this. They know what works.
It is because your lack of 'dignerty' is funny!
you are right dentists do have bad breath dont they always smell of GARLIC.
I think they have some weird sense of humor. I mean who chooses to dig in peoples mouths all day anyway.
They try to make u comfortable, and they keep u less bored...
Probably to distract you from the pain etc. Your dentist should have a mask on their mouth.
I agree with you.Mine uses to talk to me too and I can only make a sort of noise to reply.
Its just with you cause you talk bollox!?
coz they r bored out of there pants. think about it-who would like 2 spend all day picking a peoples mouths? oh yeah-its spelt dignity LOL
OH I know... it's terribly annoying when you can't answer intelligibly. They don't want an uncomfortable silence, so they talk. It's only natural. As for the breath... my dentist always uses a surgical mask... I would look for one who does this also.
Yes, mine does. It's rather annoying.
i always think they like the feeling on their fingers as we splutter...
i hate dentists!!
it's a combination of helping you get your mind off the fact he has a drill in your mouth as well as measuring your pain tolerance by your responses. When you don't respond they know you are having trouble handling the work.
Same reason your hair dresser talks to you while he/she is doing your hair... pass the time, put you at ease. But where the hairdresser's work doesn't involve your capacity to speak, the dentist is right there, in your mouth.Suggestion-- Bring a breath mint to your dentist's office at your next visit. Hand it to him right when he comes in to start working on your teeth.
The doctor should have a mask on. If his breath penetrates the mask. Find another dentist--he does not know how to take of his own teeth. Why should you trust him with yours..Back to the question why they talk to you while they work in your mouth??. This a comedy act they pull--talk to you and see if ya can to answer. The dentist profession is a very lonely thing to do. Their is usually no one to talk to and there you are---mouth wide open---a captive audence---and you cannot leave..
They try to divert your attention from what they might be doing inside your mouth.
My dad is a dentist and talks to me but he asks me about school since I don't live him. While waiting in the back office I have heard him ask them about where they live and talk about me and if it is a usual he asks about their family. Many times he has had patients like him so much they invite us to their homes (mainly old people). You should act shy so they can cut the talking if you don't like it. I have never been to another dentist so that is the way my dads office works.
Lmao, mine has bad breath too! He says stuff to me like "oooh brush your teeth better gemma"I go... "mmmm"Hes like "are you listening Gemma?!"...Mmm"Are you listening Gemma?"
I mean cmon what does he want me to say to him while hes got his hand down my throat??
These shibboleths just keep on rolling, don't they? Dentists don't talk to pts when the pts mouth is full, but what a loss of pathetically unfunny humour were this to be accepted.
Hehe- they try to have a conversation with you to keep you feeling as though you're in a normal environment where you're not stressed. By making conversation they also feel they're doing a better job of keeping you occupied and knowing that you'll use their services again. I believe the term "a load of cobblers" comes from similar circumstances. In the old days when you'd go to get your shoes repaired by a cobbler you were likely to only have one pair of shoes and therefore it would be a long wait while they fixed them. So whilst waiting they may strike up conversation and talk about any old happenings, stories etc to keep you occupied. This makes me think of hair dressers and dentists nowadays- they don't 'alf go on about nothing! hehe
They talk to you to try and make you more comfortable -- I know it is annoying because you can not respond very well but they are pretty good at figuring out what you say
I think it is to try and make you feel a bit more comfortable/at ease because it's well known that people are nervous of dentists.
I think it is to distract you from what they are doing sometimes. I know in our office, we do that. I hope he has a mask on, that should help with the death breath on the receiving end. They also are trying to get to know you and although is is weird to you, it is very normal to the dentist as that is what he deals with daily.

Why do dentist have to take out an adult teeth when you have braces?
Please tell me becaus I might have to take out SOME teeths and I'm scared
Answer:
They often have to remove the wisdom teeth because if they're allowed to grow in they will crowd the mouth and push the other teeth out of alignment.
It's to make room for when the teeth start moving in their correct places.
it gives the teeth room
they are crowded and they take them out so they arnt no more and can grow straight
To make more room for your teeth to move and your wisdom teeth to move in. I got some pulled too. It's not that bad, afterwards you just have bed rest for a day or two, and you get to make everyone be your servant. XD
Because of overcrowding. I had to have one tooth on the bottom pulled
You must have too many teeth in your mouth.
Most likely it's to save you pain and money. But don't worry, they put you on pain killers, and it really doesn't hurt. I've had my wisdom teeth removed and that wasn't too bad. ;) Plus you can trick your parents into getting you milkshakes and stuff, in the end it's all good.
they remove some teeth to create space in the mouth to straighten the teeth. since the teeth are enbedded to your facial bones they must be removed to create space. in a sense it makes your mouth smaller but with straight teeth.
To make room. Sometimes people have crooked teeth because their mouths are too small for a full set of adult teeth. So they pull a couple, and fill in the gaps with the rest to make a perfect smile.
too make room in your mouth so the teeth left can be adjusted to be straight!
it's because they need room to fit the brace, and also to stop overcrowding. not long ago, i was going to have quite a few teeth out, but i chickened out, please dont do that, because then you cant have the brace, which means no straight teeth. don't be frightened, many people have to have teeth taken out
I had 4 pulled for braces. It was sore for the first few days but healed fully in a few months. The spaces allow room and movement of the teeth. The braces move the teeth slowly so my gaps closed up in about a year. But gone already when the braces came off. Good luck!

Why do blacks suck their teeth?
During my studies on the uses of jenkem I have found that this is something that blacks do regularly. Is this a side effect of their consumption of this substance?
Answer:
Out of curiosity, I had to look up "jenkem" and this is part of what I found: Jenkem is an inhaled gas which can result in dissociation and hallucinations. It is made from fermented sewage, is primarily composed of methane, and is popular amongst the street children of Zambia.No one knows how or when the children first began manufacturing jenkem, but according to the BBC it has been around since at least 1997.Its effects last for around an hour and consists of auditory and visual hallucinations. The raw materials are plentiful and freely available in the form of fecal matter from the open sewers of the major towns, e.g. Lusaka. This is then fermented in containers and the fumes are inhaled.If this is what poor black children--and whites, too--have to do to escape their deplorable environment, then I feel bad for the human race. The image of them sucking on their teeth afterwards only makes it more deplorable.
what ?
I have witnessed people of many colors that suck their teeth as a way of dislodging food from in between. Your question makes me laugh. Thanx
Its called ATTITUDE!! we were born with it..good luck with your study.
i think it is because they have big gums.
Naw baby; it's just a black thing. You wouldn't understand...
Ah... another troll for my Blocked Idiots list. Enjoy the company - you DESERVE it.
huh?
I dunno, why do whites pick their noses?

Why do babies teeth sometimes have black spots on them?
Answer:
i just brought my one year old to the dentist for that and it could be a number of things but its usually stains from iron or medications and its usually nothing to worry about
Those black spots are usually cavities
bad water, lacking calcium..see a dentist. or get city water
i don't know you should ask a dentist. i knew a kid who had black spots all over her teeth. it looked disgusting. maybe she didn't brush enough.
Regardless of the age of the patient,
black spots are likely decay or possibly stain.See a dentist to determine what treatment may be
needed.
Could be bad water, medicine. Best of going to the dentist, as my friend had black teeth as a kid. Though nw she has great teeth. Just to be sure, probably should go to the dentist.
Why do antibiotics need a prescription? Does an over-the-counter equivalent exist?
Answer:
only a doctor has the means to figure out if you need an antibiotic and which one would be appropriate . if they were available without prescription they would be overused which eventually creates more resistant organisms, which in turn requires the developement of new or stronger antibiotics, you wouldn't know for sure which one to use, or maybe not even need one. there could be side effects or the risk of an allergic reaction. i don't believe there is any otc equivalent
No there's no over the counter antibiotics. They need a prescription or else the public would go nuts buying them and we'd all eventually have bacteria that were resistant to antibiotics. People already overuse antibiotics and eventually the bacteria get resistant so they need a stronger antibiotic. If they get resistant to that then they need stronger ones. With antibiotics you can only go so strong before we run out of things to give you and eventually you could die from just a common cold from overuse of antbiotics, so we need to keep a strict hold on them because the public is often uneducated about these things and are looking for quick fixes rather than common sense.
Antibiotics require a prescription for three reasons. The first is that picking the right antibiotic for a given infection is not easy. In order to fight an infection you need to know what type of bacteria is causing it (some types of bacteria are streptococcus pyogenes which causes strep throat and chlamydia trachomatis which causes the std chlamydia). Basically, a lot of training is required to pick the right drugs for the right bugs. Second, antibiotics can cause a lot of side effects and therefore it is important for people to know about the side effects and for treatment plans to be monitored by physicians. The third, and probably most important reason is that the overuse of antibiotics speeds up the development of drug-resistant bacteria. Drug-resistant bacteria are very difficult to treat and are very serious and sometimes deadly.
umm... the common cold is caused by a virus, not a bacteria. therefore, it cannot be treated with antibiotics. and while i agree that SOMETIMES it's better for a doctor to diagnose your illness rather than simply treating yourself... it is not ALWAYS better. case in point, i get strep throat once a year, every year. i know its strep every time but i have to get tested, every time. sometimes the tests come back negative. when this happens the doctor will usually write the prescription anyways because of the visible symptoms. but occasionally i have to wait for it to get really bad, go back, get another test and THEN get the medication. this is just silly. which is way in SOME COUNTRIES antibiotics are sold freely over the counter, like tylenol and advil.
HELLO,
ANTIBIOTICS ARE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES AND AS SUCH MAY ONLY BE ACQUIRED THROUGH A VALID PRESCRIPTION.
WHY?
THE REASONS TO USE ANTIBIOTICS MUST BE DETERMINED BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW AND WHEN TO USE THE CORRECT TYPE.
THIS CAN'T BE DONE AT ALL IF THEY WERE NEXT TO THE ASPIRIN AND TYLENOL.
Why do Americans wear grossly false looking caps on their teeth?
Answer:
You have made a stereo type about people. Many people have cosmetic dentistry yes that is true, however some people have to have crowns to save a tooth. If I had the choice of crown or extraction, I off course will pick a crown. Think about your question. You are portraying the very thing that you are accusing "Americans with grossly false looking caps" of doing. You are suggesting that just because an American has great looking teeth than we think everything is okay. How can you make such a narrow minded assumption, based on a person's nationality and the look of their smile. If you really believe this than you are the one who needs help, not anyone else. You are being ignorant to the fullest extent, and if you honestly go through life making these kinds of generalizations, than you will have a very unhappy life.
and why do ppl in the UK have no teeth at all?
HELLO ANIMAL LOVER,THIS IS A GENERALIZATION FELT BY SOME IN THE UK.
THE ACTUAL FACTS ARE FAR FROM THIS :TRUTH", AS YOU BELIEVE.
Well it's not always about the look aspect. Not only from diffrent countrys but in America as well some people don't relize that denstiry is also a health thing. The caps that I belive that you may be talking about are called crowns. Most of the time befor a person gets a crown they get something called a root canal, which is when the root of the tooth is taken out to prevent pain that was probaply caused by to much decay. When the root of the tooth is taken out most of the tooth is gone as well and and only the outter shell of the tooth is there and is not strong enough to stand alone, which is wher the crown comes into place, that way a person can eat as noramal with out pain or further decay.
It could be that some have chipped, stained, crooked, rotten teeth and want to improve them. If they boost their confidence then more power to them. Whatever floats your boat. =)
Why did i have 3 sets of teeth? Is that normal?
Answer:
Genetics, some are congenitally missing some of the permanent teeth, some have extra permanent teeth. I should know since I was one of them, it's referred to as having "supernumerary teeth." Is it normal? It's very common, so you have nothing to worry about. Your orthodontist will review this with you and let you know which will need to be extracted prior to orthodontic treatment. Good luck!
I worked with an oral surgeon for the last 10 years. you would be surprised how may people have multiple sets and how some people don't have any.
It is normal for an Elephant!Just kidding. I am only jealous because I am 31 and will need dentures before I am 40
Why cant u eat popcorn with braces?
whats the big deal?
Answer:
Because the hull from the kernel gets up under the wires and is difficult to get out, plus a really hard kernel can break the glue off a post
kernals stick into your braces which is an extreme pain to remove. Ask your doctor for dental floss for braces, there is a special kind that is used for flossing.
The hulls may get caught in the braces and you may not be able to get it out. Just an FYI my son does not strictly follow the orthodontists rules but that doesn't mean you should do the same without talking to your parents first. I am willing to accept responsiblity for what might happen but your parents may not.
Can you?? Sure! If you don't mind spending the next hour cleaning your braces.
You could also break off a bracket or two when biting anything hard.
It's bad enough eating popcorn WITHOUT braces. I haven't tried it, but I can only imagine the time it would take to clean the hulls out from between my teeth, stuck behind the brackets, etc.Flossing's a pain in the *** as it is - I wouldn't want to add to the burden.Plus it's possible that if you bite into one that has a whole kernel it might dislodge one of your brackets. That could suck.I managed to do that when I was eating Oreo cereal. I got greedy and tried to chew more than one at a time and popped that sucker right off.
I had braces and you can eat popcorn as long as you get the special flossers. You need the flossers anyway so why not live it up?
You can but it gets easily STUCK in the braces and is hard to get out. If you are great at brushing and flossing then go ahead and eat it if you cant live without it. But if you dont brush well or floss dont eat anything that will stick to your teeth and braces.

Why can't they do that?
Why can't a dentist do a root canal on the same visit as the check up, when I know that it's what is needed? I even asked for the appointment to scheduled as a root canal, but they won't do it.
Answer:
because it may be infected and the dentist wants to know once he removes all the nerves that every thing is ok with the tooth in a week...if he seals up the tooth right than and there and something goes wrong with the tooth ex. there was 3 nerves instead of 2 and your in pain again a week later it will cause more problems...ex. if he has to re drill out the filling that he put in to seal the tooth and root canal procedure...if its not infected you can always go to another dentist...some are willing to do it in a day..if he can deffinantly not forsee any problems in the future...i hope this helped..good luck:) ps if you need a root canal schedule a emergency appointment now.they HAVE to fit you in there schedule...call early in the morning to ensure they can fit you in..its called scheduling an emergency appointment.feel better:)
A root canal therapy procedure takes a long time, especially if it's a molar (which has multiple canals).If you want to get an RCT and a checkup/xray/cleaning all done in the same visit, you will have to spend at least 3 hours in the chair.Most dentists prefer not to take such long appointments-- If the patient doesn't show up, 3 hours just got wasted.Also, you can't just go to any dentist and tell them "I need a root canal" and expect them to do it right then and there. They need to evaluate the tooth for themselves first, then recommend a course of treatment for you.
It probably needs to be taken out and can't be saved, and mostly it is because of their tight schedule.

Why can't the dentist pull a tooth if it's infected?
Answer:
Dr. C.W. was partially right..The infection changes the pH of the surrounding area, making the anesthetic not as effective..However, there is a great amount of debate about infected wisdom teeth. Some people feel that an infection will be pushed back into an artery when giving the injection for anesthetic, leading it straight to the vascular system. Therefore, antibiotics are used to decrease this effect. You CAN pull a tooth if it is needed...but it is better to wait a couple days and let the infection go down a little bit.
Because the infection fights off the anesthetic making it a very unpleasant experience for you. Much easier if the the infection is gone.
one) either the infection has a risk of spreading to the bone if pulled without treatment
or
two) the infection could counteract the anistetic and it would be a horrible experience for you
Because the infection can get out and spread through out your whole body and make you deathly ill. It is better to take ALL of the antibiotic and then have it pulled
As a dentist I can tell you that an infected tooth is nothing to play around with as the infection can spread very easily. The tooth will need to have antibiotics to help reduce the infection prior to extraction because the infection will prohibit the Lidocaine from actually numbing the area of the nerves of the tooth. Ericthedmd is very correct, the tooth can be pulled in an emergency situation, but it is best to give the antibiotics time to begin fighting the infection.
Why can't I keep my tooth?
I recently had a tooth pulled and my dentist wouldn't let me keep it. What is up with that? It's MY tooth after all!!
Answer:
Thddspc is absolutely correct. As a dentist myself, my state considers extracted teeth to be bio hazardous waste and I am REQUIRED by law to dispose of the tooth as medical waste. If not done you can face fines and a possible loss of your dental license. A tooth IS considered soft tissue, thddspc is correct as the pulp inside the tooth IS considered to be soft tissue.
Technically, an extracted tooth is considered biohazardous material, and state law in most places requires it to be disposed as medical waste (in the same manner as other things taken out of the human body, like excised tumors, appendices, tonsils, etc.)..Some dentists do bend the rules and let the patient take the tooth home though.. Kids taking their teeth home to put under pillows to cash in with the tooth fairy is a time-honored tradition after all.. :-DEDIT TO ADD: to the poster below: Teeth do have soft tissue inside them (the pulp), some may have a nice coating of bacterial plaque or germ-infested calculus encrusted on them, plus most are bloody when extracted. That's why they are considered medical waste in most states.

You should be able to keep your tooth. I worked in a surgical unit for 3 years and when we took gallstones out we gave them to the patient if they wanted them. A tooth shouldnt be considered biohazard because its not soft tissue like doing a adnoid/tonsillectomy. Your dentist or oral surgeon probably just allready throw the tooth away when you asked for it.
the answer you got from THSDD the first one is absolutely correct. Some dentist do bend the rules but what would you want it for anyway..you aren't going to use it anymore
That is odd he wouldnt let you cause you CAN keep your teeth if you ask. Next time demand they give it to you or tell them you wont come back to their office, you will find a new dentist.
I know you can keep your teeth because I was asked whether I wanted to keep my teeth and I said no (my wisdom teeth when they were taken out) and my brother did keep his teeth. My brother was given a tiny cute little tooth shaped container with the teeth put in it.
Maybe it depends on the state you live in (me, Massachusetts where we can keep teeth :) ). You should have made him explain WHY you couldnt keep them.

Why cant anyone understand me?
When I was younger I used to have crooked teeth now they are better but when I used to have crooked teeth I would talk without my teeth showing and no one can understand me. How do I talk showing my teeth, I try but its really hard because I've been used to talking this way for so many years. Im 16 by the way.
Answer:
"just talk right"??? wth?? when you're sitting around in your room..just practice smiling and try saying your words with a bit of a smile to expose your teeth...use a mirror by the way when you do this and you can see your progress..GOOD LUCK!
Just talk right
Visit a voice/speech therapist. They can help you talk better. My brother visited one when he couldn't pronounce his "r's" and now he can.
You may want to consider going to see a speech therapist to help you re-learn the pronunciations of your words. Since this was the result of a dental problem, it's possible that your insurance may cover some or all of the cost. You might also check with a university if there's one within a reasonable distance of you. Speech therapy students have to practice (under the supervision of their instructors), so there's often a clinic where you can go for little or no cost. Good luck!
i know this may seem crazy, but go see a speach therapist.
they can teach you things you may not realize. they could also help you with your speech problem..good luck!!
This is something you have to do gradually because it won't come naturally to you overnight. The trick is to just try. I understand that you felt self-conscious back then but it's not so bad now, right?So just do it slowly.. but at the same time just speak the way you normally would without having to worry about your teeth. You could practice speaking your words out loud and clear so you don't sound as if you're mumbling.It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as people can understand you, then that's good enough.
I had the same problem, so embarassed by my teeth that I wouldn't even smile with my lips apart in case they were visable. Practice smiling while showing your teeth, and talking in front of a mirror, so you can see that even if it feels strange (at ther moment), it looks ok. If you keep doing this you will be able to convince yourself its OK, then you won't feel, even subconsicously, that its something you still have to do.
Try it it worked for me.

Why between my two front tooth have a gap & is getting wider?
Why between my two front tooth have a gap %26 is getting wider?
1. How much does it cost to go to a dentist to mend it?(teenager)
2.Why is it getting wider?
Answer:
Gaps are common in people who have 1.%26gt; prominent interdental papilla (the gum tissue between the two front teeth), 2.%26gt; when permanent teeth are still coming out and not all of them are in yet, 3.%26gt; when teenagers are still growing bec the jaws are growing along with the whole body.It may or may not go away after reaching the peak of puberty (meaning the growth spurt). If it doesn't go away after all permanent teeth are in, then that is the best time to seek a dentist's advice whether you may need braces to close the gap, or just use bonded restorations, where composite fillings or resins are used to fill the gap and make your two front teeth a little wider than they are but with the right contour and proportion to make them look real. Or you might be referred to an oral surgeon if the prominent papilla has to be surgically removed.
So, it all depends on the factors just mentioned. It will take a professional to discern which way to go, so best advice for you is to seek professional care. The cost to repair will depend on the cause of the gap. The only reason why it gets bigger is because you are still progressively growing.
Your teeth shift as you grow older so the gap is getting wider now. Just see your dentist to ask what he recommends for treatment.
go to the dentist and make an appt. theyll do something
1. it'll probably cost a lot of money. depends on which dentist you go to.
2. because, your a teenager; and your teeth are still developing.
WELL I'M 15 AND I WAS IN THE SAME SITUATION AS U NOT TO LONG AGO. I LET TIME PASS AND IT GOT WORSE. WHEN I WENT TO THE DENTIST I FOUND OUT I HAD A CAVITY AND THAT I NEEDED A ROOT CANAL WHICH REALLY SUCKED BUT TO TELL U THE TRUTH ITS NOT PAINFUL.WELL TO ANSWER UR QUESTION U MIGHT HAVE A CAVITY AND U SHOULD GET IT CHECKED. U DO NT WANT A ROOT CANAL DO U? JUST GO TO THE DENTIST PLEASE.
This is called a Diastima. It is very common. The size of the gap differs among people. Orthodontics may correct this problem, but depending on how thick the papilla tissue is between those teeth, gum surgery may be needed to reduce the tissue or a small wire placed behind the teeth may be necessary to keep the space closed (this is after the orthodontics is completed). As you age if you clench or grind your teeth, the space can increase due to the force moving the teeth apart. Periodontal disease causes a reduction of bone support around teeth. The less bone, the easier the tooth can be moved. Orthodontics is expensive and varies in cost throughout the states. You can expect to pay approximately $5000 or more these days.
There are many reasons for your teeth to show this "gap" you mention. It shouldnt be getting any wider now so you should visit a dentist and have an x-ray done for him to know if everything is normal. There are some cases in which a supernumerary tooth called mesiodens is found between your incisives, in this case it should be taken out through surgery. Another chance may be that there is a lesion growing inyour maxilla and its causing your teeth to separate. To make it short, just go to a dentist and let him know about your concern, thats the best you can do.

Why aren't all of our teeth the same shape?
Answer:
As a dentist I can tell you that each tooth has a different function and must be shaped different to work and do its job properly (IE: molars are used for chewing, and incisors for biting).
different teeth have different functions.
each type of tooth has a different job, and the shape helps it do what it needs to do.

Why are some people afraid of the dentist ?
Some people just freak out when they meet one or even go to visit one. Some are not kids anymore. I just wonder ?
Answer:
Hi,when I was younger,I'm 60 now,we used to be given gas for extractions and on one occasion I was given too much and was really poorly for days,I was very sick and the Doctor visited me every day.
The experience gave me a fear of the Dentist and even though I go for regular check ups I break out in a sweat and feel very apprehensive.
I know it is silly after all these years but I just can't help it and luckily my Dentist is very understanding and he told me I'm not his only patient with this fear.
because some people...like myself have had traumatic experiences as children with dentists.my primary school dentist was a butcher...aaahhhhh
I am one of those people, i don't know why its the sounds the smells, i get myself in a right state, but once i am there i am fine.The dentist is really patient!
I think they are just afraid of the dentist hitting a nerve, at least, that was always my problem.
Because we remember how barbaric they were,
its implanted in our old brains
Because sometimes, the dentist misses your teeth and drills the gums
hearing the high drilling noise is an immediate association to the pain of drilling
I'm not, because of my heart condition, anything involving bleeding gets done at the hospital and I'm put out like a light! nice bit of codeine for the pain afterwards as well!:-)
well,for some people the needle is the worst. for me just the thought of it is excruciating! It's hard to make myself go.
Maybe bad experience could cause the fear. Or watching some dumb horror movie. No really, It is all in their head. It could be the same as some one with a unrealistic fear of spiders. There is no real answer for that one. I know some one who wont go to one because one nearly killed him with Novocaine. so it can be merely some thing simple like that, to some thing you can't see. what ever the reason is, it can be a whole ray of things. Some fear the worse in every thing. Maybe afraid to here they got cancer, or maybe afraid they
need a tooth pulled. either way they just get afraid. I know people afraid of the doctor. Wont go when they are sick. Why remains to be seen,but ask some one some time and see what answer they give you. What are you afraid of and your reason you afraid of it. same thing for the person afraid of the dentist.
Well I am one of those people that are scared to death of a dentist. I am 50 years old. I used to not be, but a bad experience a couple of times has made me scared of them now. One bad experience was when I went in to have a tooth pulled out, the dentist broke the tooth off in my gum, she then went in after the root. She thought that she got it all, did more x-rays to make sure. Sewed my gum back up and sent me home. Two days later I thought that I had busted my stitches, so I went back. She sewed it backup again. Two days later, I thought the same thing again. This went on for about 2 weeks, all the while her gripping at me for eating solid foods until I healed. I was eating soft foods only. To make a long story short. She left part of the root in my gum and sewed it up in my gum, the root was what was cutting the stitches all the time. The root was removed later by yet another dentist and to make matters worse, I now have a hole in my gum that will be there for the rest of my life and she also busted my sinus pocket trying to get the root out of my gum which she never got out and then sewed it up with the root still in my gum. Do I need to say more as to why I am scared of a dentist? And on top of that, I am going today to get one pulled out. Been on antibiotics and pain killers for 4 days now getting ready for today. Once I get there, if they pull it today, I will be on gas to help me deal with what is about to happen. Plus the fact that I hate needles on top of that.No it is not all in my head. And another thing, I am also scared to death of spiders as well, lol.Well now you know why I am scared of a dentist. Some may have other reasons and I am sure they do. But this one was the worst one I had.
Some people had terrible experiences as childen. We had a mobile dentist when I was a child who struck the fear of god into every child there. They used to give you gas to put you out -urgh, I still remember the smell of that rubber mask. To this day I still need diazepam to get me through it.
i think there's more than one reason. people have a fear of having a drilling. some people only have a fear of needles. dentists needles sometimes have to go deeper than you'd expect
Usually bad experiences before. I know my mother had a horrible dentist when she was younger, and now is terrified of them.I've not had any bad experiences, but my current dentist is perfect so it helps if you have a kind/caring dentist. I was really scared, but using my current dentist I am no longer scared of them.
as a child i had 3 baby teeth taken out and the dentist forgot to jag me - no one believed me, several years later he lost his licence, as a teenager i would not go to dentist and several years later had dental hypnotherapy at the dental hospital where i got lots of work done - 20 odd years later i go to the dentist with no worries
I am one of the people that are terrified of a dentist %26 have no idea why.I have no fear of getting teeth out it is the dentist.

Why are my teeth not as white as they used to be?
They used to be lovely, but now i started to see them going yellow in colour. I brush twice a day and floss. I use a sensitive tooth paste. I dont smoke or drink tea or coffee. I drink juices. There not yellow as in tartar or plaque just the whole teeth are a beige colour. I dont think a scale and polish at the dentist would make them any cleaner looking would they? I have been taking anti biotics long term and i heard that that could be what is making them discolour.
Answer:
well as u get older ur teeth r cumin in contact wiv mor foods mor n mor an all of them will add a lil bit 2 make ur teeth go yellow
but dnt let tht bova u because it happens to every 1 just stik to wot ur doin an brush ur teeth twice a day for 2-4mins if u wanted 2 u cud also try a different tooth paste maybe 1 that specilises in tooth witening,but if it is still exstreamly bovering you then you could maybe get ur teeth whitened gd luk an hope your teeth get better
it may be possible, if u want white teeth then hing should be done
Have you tried the whitening toothpastes with bicarb of soda? I find they are pretty good and pearl whitening drops.
I have heard from radio , after we brush our teeth the left over toothpaste we swallow can make our teeth yellow.
And yellowish bit teeth is more healthier than absolute white teeth.
It probably will be the anti-biotics. Unfortunately some medications do have these kinds of side effects. My mum had the same problem except it was worsened by the fact that she had to take a steroid inhaler aswell.
Try a gentle whitening toothpaste it may help a little, but unfortunately if you are taking the medication it might be while before you notice any real difference
Some types of antibiotics can do this to your teeth. Although a scale and polish at the dentist should remove it.
Ya it could br your anti biotics but one thing more you mentioned is that you drink juices.You know that almost every juice contain acids which could damage the outermost and protective layer of our teeth but only when you brush after drinking the. Day by day the surface of the teeth got weak and weak and the color of food we take starts dissolving into the white matter of the teeth which is present under the protective layer and the white turns to yellow and I agree to you that a direct treatment would be useless. So you should go to your dentist but on start just discuss and if he garuntee you have whatever he says but never waste your time and money.
Except this, this could be also some minor and hygenic problem with your blood.
Try brushing your teeth with just baking soda. Mom does that and her teeth are white. I am afraid that since you have been taking antibiotics for awhile that could be the reason that they are stained off white now. If so I don't think that anything is going to help.
Teeth whitening toothpastes are just a waste of money and you don't hear of anyone having any great success using them.Cut out tea and coffee, give up smoking, chew gum and most important take a trip to the dentist and let your dentist give you the best advice.Soon you'll have your pearly whites, it's just maintaing them that's the hard thing

Day by day the surface of the teeth got weak and weak and the color of food we take starts dissolving into the white matter of the teeth which is present under the protective layer and the white turns to yellow and I agree to you that a direct treatment would be useless. So you should go to your dentist but on start just discuss and if he garuntee you have whatever he says but never waste your time and money.
Except this, this could be also some minor and hygenic problem with your blood.
Try brushing your teeth with just baking soda. Mom does that and her teeth are white. I am afraid that since you have been taking antibiotics for awhile that could be the reason that they are stained off white now. If so I don't think that anything is going to help.
Teeth whitening toothpastes are just a waste of money and you don't hear of anyone having any great success using them.Cut out tea and coffee, give up smoking, chew gum and most important take a trip to the dentist and let your dentist give you the best advice.Soon you'll have your pearly whites, it's just maintaing them that's the hard thing
Why are my gums white?
i bush my theeth all the time
Answer:
you answered your own question.
healthy gums are white, not red.
But if they are white all the way up, and on the top and bottem, or if your lips lighten too I would tell your doctor. That happened to my cousin and her blood count was low and she had to go on meds. Now they tell her to look for that!
White gums are a sign of anemia. You should get your iron blood levels checked and I would go get vitamins with iron soon. Anemia can cause other problems.
