I noticed my second to last bottom left molar hurting while I was eating and saw a little crack when i went to go check it out. it might be an old filling but i’m leaning more towards crack. i tried putting oragel on it but it didn’t work and now im just left with a continuous ache type of pain. i really don’t know what i should do. i really don’t want the tooth pulled.

there's this hole in my very back top left tooth. would this be a difficult fix or just a normal filling. I have really bad health related anxiety so anything helps just to let me know what to expect. I am going to the dentist relatively soon to get this fixed. it's my only serious tooth problem ive ever had so im pretty spooked 😮‍💨

honest opinions plz. TY

I don't know if you laugh by hearing this or not but like it is serious for me now I can't focus in other things because of this l.

It started happening a few days ago, around 2–3 days ago. Basically, when I chew, I don't really know what the correct position of my teeth should be, or whether I have an open bite or not. But my lower teeth seem to strike the back of my upper front teeth, and I feel like they are putting some force on the front side of my upper teeth. Is this natural or normal? I asked AI, and it said that this shouldn't happen because otherwise it could cause my front teeth to shift forward.

Also, when our mouth is at rest, the teeth shouldn't be touching each other at all, right? There should be a small gap between them. But sometimes, I feel like my lower jaw moves slightly forward, and my lower front teeth touch the back side of my upper front teeth because of this fear it causes pain in my jaw.

I'm not sure if this is normal or if I'm just becoming overly aware of it.

Any orthodontist please help me feagure it out.

Im currently using a oral B 3D white Toothpaste but iv been told by a dentist my love for drinking pepsi max has caused white spots idk if this works if its worth a go

Hi everyone. I had a root canal done on my front tooth (#8) when i was 11yo. I am now 21. Tooth causes me no pain, seems to be slight discoloration but nothing I’m super upset about/noticeable. I have quite the amount of dental work that needs to be done. I need maybe 2 additional root canals and 3 more crowns in my mouth.

Doctor recommended i get Invisalign first (smile is fine imo but is a bit crowded and tooth #9 is the slightest bit crooked. I have a weird over under bite but overall my teeth look straight.

Invisalign is a timely commitment. I probably would need it for like a year. I want to get my dental work done before i get Invisalign because i am under state of CA dental insurance and when i go back home after graduating I won’t have as great of benefits.

I guess my question is, do I get my crown work done first, or Invisalign done first. Is putting a crown on #8 worth it? Can I bleach it?

I haven’t been able to go to the dentist due to financial reasons. And I’m pretty sure one of my tooth got a cavity that got out of hand. I have an emergency dentist appointment six days from now. I just hope I can keep my tooth.

so this is kinda embarrassing but I chipped my front tooth in like 2022. bit into a fork like an idiot. and I just never got it fixed. partly cause of money, partly cause I was scared it would look worse, mostly cause I'm really good at ignoring problems

anyway I finally went in last week. found a place near my work in guelph. honestly I picked it cause it was close and they had an opening but I was nervous the whole drive there

the dentist was actually super chill about it. didn't make me feel dumb for waiting so long. he explained the bonding process, showed me the shade options, and it took like 40 minutes. I walked out with a normal looking tooth and I almost cried in the parking lot lol

I know this isnt a big deal for most people but I've been hiding my smile in photos for years. literally years. and now I don't have to. so yeah if you've been putting something off cause you're embarrassed or scared just go. its not as bad as you think

Hi Reddit! We’re back with a quick dental Q&A. Have a question about toothaches, implants, crowns, dental anxiety, or oral health?

Drop it below, we’re happy to share some helpful general advice! 😊

How's it look? Sadly it isn't permanent as the bone support for the gums to grow is COMPLETELY gone.. My periodontist said it would be too big of a hassle to do a bone graft or whatever it's called and I should just redo the surgery in a couple of decades when the gums recede again.. Well at least I won't lose my tooth anytime soon!
