No but no doctor cannot refuse treatment because of financial situation. Find a dentist and make an appointment get it out. Or maybe there is a dental school near by you can sigh up for free dental work…But Please Do Not Listen to Any MORON that says do it your self!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it true that poor teeth health can contribute to an unhealthy body?

admin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:51:39 +0000

Do various teeth relate to different parts of your body.
Like various points on your feet relate to different parts of your body.

Yes, and also recent scientific studies have shown that gum disease may lead to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. New studies have also revealed that gum disease has a detrimental effect on the body as a whole, with white blood cell counts significantly higher in those suffering from mouth infections.

So, you cannot understate your oral health for your total physical health.

Should we start thanking republicans for the Health Care Reform as soon as the Pres. signs it into law Monday?

admin — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 11:39:05 +0000

I can see that ten years from now Republicans will be claiming they fought nail an tooth for Health Care Reform to pass, while Democrats opposed it.

No, this health care reform belongs to the Democrats. The Republicans want no part of it, that is how sure they are that is will fail. We can not afford this. Taxes will so greatly increase that it could easily throw this country into a depression, not just a recession.

I’m 29 and never had a cavity. I’ve always have taking good care of my teeth. A couple of months ago pisces of my eye tooth fell off. A couple of days later the rest of the tooth broke into pisces. Yesterday one of my back tooth broke. Again today another pisce came off. I don’t understand I have extremely health teeth. These pisces of broken teeth are white and have no rought. What could be the problem?

Do you sleep with someone that could confirm or deny that you grind your teeth while you sleep?

Is your jaw sore sometimes when you wake up?

Lots of stress at work or home?

If any of it is true, they have a mouth guard you can sleep with, Walmart has like a $15 one, I understand the dentist would be considerably higher.

I have cracked 3 teeth, and yes I have been told I grind my teeth at night.

Good luck

Is this is good plan for tea drinking and teeth health?

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 06:52:03 +0000

I’m a really bad water drinker, so, I drink my water with those flavor packets made for water bottles. The problem is, the only flavor I like is "Peach Tea". My mother commented it was affecting my teeth, but I thought if I just continued brushing twice a day and whitened them with store bought whitening strips once every 3 months, they’d stay white.

Good plan? Will it work? Will is kill my teeth?

Your mom is right.

In most cases, yellow teeth are caused by food, drinks, or tobacco staining the surface enamel of the tooth. Smokers almost always have yellow stained teeth, as well as people who drink large amounts of coffee. Soda and tea are also responsible. Although these are the main culprits, any type of food can stain your teeth if they are not properly brushed. Underneath your tooth enamel is a material called dentin. Dentin is naturally yellow, and as you age your tooth enamel becomes worn down, exposing the dentin. This is why some people notice a color change in their teeth as they grow older.

Avoiding beverages that might stain your teeth is your best bet, but if you must have your soda, consider drinking it out of a straw and chasing it with a glass of water.

can rotting wisdom tooth cause health problems?

admin — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 08:28:31 +0000

Can a rotting wisdom tooth cause any medical problems? I have had medical problems for the past 2 years and no doctor has ever been ever to diagnose me. Symptoms included a low roaring back pain, urinary symptoms, pains into legs, burning on hands and feet and a stiff neck. Then i remembered i havn’t seen a dentist for a while. Then i noticed there is a wisdom tooth causing bad breath and it looks almost black. Is there any chance this could be the cause?

Yes, infection in the gums/teeth can cause health problems, and is a serious condition; you need to see a dentist ASAP, to have that bad tooth looked at. I kept putting off the ineveitable (had to have all teeth extracted), and I was sick everywhere. Since I had them pulled, I have felt more like my old self.

Would Sierra Mist Free be bad for your health/teeth?

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:33:39 +0000

It has no sugar or caffeine or anything so I figure it wouldn’t be bad on my teeth/health like regular pops are, even though i rarely drink them anyways. Anyone know?

Yes, it would. Sure it has no sugar or caffeine, but in order to find out if something is truly healthy, you must actually READ the ingredients on the back of the can/bottle. In order for it to be called a soda, it must have citric acid, carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup (which is chemically altered), and tons of preservatives. Just because the sugar and caffeine is stripped out does make it healthy. It is soda and no soda is healthy, period. And yes, it would be bad for your teeth because it probably has some sort of sugar substitute coupled with the citric acid. All of these reasons are why I stopped drinking soda altogether. You should, too.
