hi lately ive been having problems when brushing my teeth because after i brush my teeth really well (an i dont meaen fast)
they start bleeding from the gums and bleeding through. im only 17 so i hope this isnt a big problem but not alot of 17 year olds
have bleeding teeth problems...i hope this is not a disease or something.. my mother is worried and wants to take me to the doctor ..also sometimes i forget to brush my teeth but my teeth have always beenhealthy and 6 months ago i wwent to my local dentist and he said " you have perfect teeth!" their straight and all but i dont know whyy they bleed. help is appreciated thanks for any answers
EVERYTIME i BRUSH MY teeth they start BLEEDING...?
your gums are very sensitive, just watch what junk food you eat, and do more fruits and vegetables
Reply:It is just probably a buildup of plaque.Bleeding gums could be a sign of gingivitis....just get your teeth cleaned at the dentist....dont worry thoughyu will be fine.
Reply:MAYBE BECAUSE U ONLY BRUSH UR TEETH GOOD EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND THEY COULD JUST HAVE GOTTEN USED TO NOT VERY MUCH BRUSHING AND THEN HID SOEM OF THE PLAC WHERE U HAVENT GOT AND THEN WHEN U BRUSH GOOD THEY START BLEEDING BUT I AM NOT SURE AND NO I AM NOT A DENTIST
Reply:could you be pregnant? bleeding gums happens in pregnancy.
Reply:bleeding gums aren't good, see your doctor
Reply:Just be careful, might be a sign of Gum Disease.
Reply:----
it sounds as though you are brushing too hard
even though teeth are hard, gums are soft so take it easy
get a new toothbrush, not too stiff
brushing after every meal is a good habit to get into, it keeps your mouth fresh (and kissable!)

Reply:brush them regulary and they wont do that. i suggest you brush them twice a day.
Reply:go back to your dentist or get a second opinion, because it sound like you have gingivitis... the longer you wait the more severe it can get. if it bleeds once in a while, then it could be a mild form of gingivitis, but if this is a daily routine ran to your dentist. gum disease is not something to play around with.
Reply:my gums used to bleed. ask your dentist about massaging your gums. You get this little 3 dollar tool at the store which has a rubber poiny end. And you stick it inbetween your teeth on your gums (ask your hygienist for a demonstration on model teeth).
It might hurt a little but it adds pressure to your gums and makes them stronger. My gums used to bleed. Now they don't (well sometimes,but not everyday).

Teeth & Gums help?
Ok I am an idiot,in summer time I brush my teeth less.I have started brushing again,but i noticed some things.The highest parts of my 6 upper,closer to my lips teeth have a yellow covering,I hav'nt been able to brush it of yet.Those teeth and the 4 lower jaw teeth (closest to my lips),my gums have RECEDED? a little of my teeth(higher the upper teeth,lower for my lower teeth).Its more serius for my lower teeth (I THINK I CAN ALMOST SEE THE ROOT OF MY LOWER TEETH).I heard a while back that the gums will go back to normal if i take more care of my teeth,is this true?how long would it take? would there be any long term damage?plus how would I go about taking that upper layer of yellow stuff of ?one more thing,my upper "Bunny" teeth and the lower 4 "tictac" looking ones about have lines,is this normal?(not very noticable).WOW I wrote alot,sorry i have been freaking out about this for a while,by the way im 15 so its not like a 80 year old tooth problems.I'm new here,sry if I seem to naive
Teeth %26amp; Gums help?
You don't seem naive. You should see a dentist. Plaque only takes about 12 hours to harden into tartar (AKA: calculus) and needs to be removed by a dentist or hygienist. It takes sharp steel instruments to remove it from your teeth, and cannot come off with any toothbrush known to man. Don't worry about it. If it is tartar, it can be removed. If it is staining, it can be whitened with in office treatments or things like Crest White Strips. Good luck.

My boyfriend has bad breath. his teeth are in excellent condition. no nasal problems could it be intestinal?
please give any advice. afraid to talk to him about it. but I think he is well aware.

Breath depends on the condition of the gums, not the teeth. Make sure that he flosses daily, and uses a sulcus toothbrush (at a 45 degree angle) to clean the gumline. Have him eat more fruits and vegetables to keep his mouth moist, and avoid alcohol which dries the mouth.
Reply:make sure that he is brushing the back of his toung because over 80% of bad breath comes from there.
Reply:Does he smoke or eat a lot of nasty food? Are his gums OK? His teeth could look OK, but if he doesn't floss well, there could be issues there. Advise him to brush his tongue, too - that gets rid of that whitish film and can only enhance his breath.
Barring all that, I'd have him visit his doctor to see if there's anything wrong - but if it's a breath issue, his dentist should be able to suggest something. Ask your own dentist about this, but don't mention names, of course - doctor/patient privilege is one thing, but dentists are still human and might remember names.
Reply:He could have the gum disease called gingivitis. Have him go to his dentist and he will advise him on it.
Reply:how long has this been going on? when is it the worst? what makes it worse? what makes it better? Be armed with these answers and see a doctor.
Reply:Speaking from experience, my husband had terrible breath and when he found out that there were no dental issues we pursued it farther. His internist did some diagnostic tests and low and behold the culprit was a positive PSA. He had prostate cancer. There are usually no obvious symptoms so he was unaware. Once he had the surgery his breath was normal again. I hope this is not the case for your boyfriend. Best wishes to you both! (Don't forget to rule out Diabetes or stomach ulcers) :%26gt;)
Reply:You should maybe encourage water also.Some people have halitosis which is cronic bad breath.
Reply:yeah it sounds like he has halitosis and that can be caused by intestinal disturbances as well as poor oral hygiene, and diseases of the mouth, throat, nose or lungs.
You should talk to him about it, maybe together you can find a solution to the problem. If its a medical problem it isn't something he should take personally.
Reply:he could need to brush better, have gingivitis and so forth, but could he be diabetic, some times when diabetics have high ketone levels in their body their breath gets horrible.

Reply:There are fractures, and then there are FRACTURES. There are always small fracture lines running through the enamel of all teeth, and these are of little consequence. More serious are those that propagate through the deeper layers of dentin; these definitely create structural weaknesses, and may even involve the pulp of the tooth. Unfortunately, it is sometimes impossible to determine the extent of fractures without removing the filling in a tooth, since they are not well visualized on x-ray.
The decision as to when a tooth should be restored by crown rather than by filling is a subjective one, but not necessarily a blind guess. A dentist with relatively few years of experience will know when a tooth is in danger of cracking; for those who are fresh out of dental school, there are general guidelines that are remarkably accurate in pointing the way to an appropriate treatment.
For teeth that need more than a filling, a crown is the most commonly prescribed restoration. There are other restorations that will protect the tooth against further cracking (e.g., onlays or 3/4 crowns), but a full crown has the additional advantages of superior esthetics, retention, and protection against recurrent decay. It is also not significantly more expensive than the alternatives.
Compromising the treatment by the inappropriate use of filling material may be a short-term economy, but will ultimately cost you more. In the end, the tooth will break, necessitating the treatment you perhaps should have done in the first place; the tooth may even become non-restorable and require extraction. By comparison, the fee for a crown may be a small price to pay

Reply:a dentist can fix denture which you call "artificial teeth". Visit dentist then he/she can decide what to do with your teeth.

Should i have my wisdom teeth out as they are causin me problems?
yes
Should i have my wisdom teeth out as they are causin me problems?
of course you should if they are bothering you that bad
Reply:it will only get worse,,,,,,,but do it after the holidays
Reply:yes u should if u don't they will prob cause a infection
Reply:Hi! I've been in dentistry for over 25 years and the answer is Yes. Wisdom teeth never get better, only worse and they grow and shift and cause more problems. The longer you wait the more issues you will have in removing them if the roots grow towards the mandibular nerve. Get they removed now, avoid a long term complication like numbness and you will be glad you did. If you have any other questions, please ask. M
Reply:DEFINITELY! you should get it removed because it can cause severe headache, toothache, and crowding of the teeth.
Reply:sarah if you are in pain get them taken out, ive already told you that!
Reply:yes and make them into a pretty necklace,,
Reply:Be wise to.
Reply:Im currently in dental school AND I had my wisdom teeth recently extracted so I can relate to you. Many people would recommend removing your wisdom teeth even if they're not bothering you at all, so if it is causing you discomfort you defintely want to take them out. The reason you want to get them out earlier rather than later is that your jawbone is softer now (it gets progressively harder as you age) and it will be a less painful experience both during and after the surgery.
Reply:are they you have to get that sorted they will hurt if you dont and they hurt when you take them out

If you brush your teeth after dipping does it minimize mouth problems?
does it minimize the bad effects of it?

i don't think so. the nicotine is absorbed through your skin, so unless there's just a bit left over, i don't think it really matters.
Reply:Also remember this: all those neat carcinogens get absorbed, excreted , then sit in your bladder for hours. Cancer of the bladder is most often due to tobacco use, any form. Do not assume you are safe because you are not smoking.

My dentist is pressuring me for a year to get my wisdom teeth pull out, yet they don't give me any problems.
I feel uncomfortable to go see knowing she will lecture me again about the potential denger to keep them. I am from Europe and this practice is uncomon there. I study internet to get some answers wheter it is a good idea to pull them out or not. Looks like 50/50. Some dentists are totally against it for logical reasons bud I do see also her point. This procedure is coastly and very painful also problems are common with infections of the bone and gum. Can anyone throw me a bone??
I like my dentist and want to stay in her hands.

it's a good idea to get them removed to avoid future mouth problems. i had mine out in july and it wasn't bad at all. you are sore for a week, but as long as you take care of yourself, you will be fine.
have you told her about how it's not common to get wisdom teeth removed in europe? maybe she'll understand how you feel, and lessen the pressure she's been putting on you to get them out.
good luck, either way!
Reply:I am 50 years old and still have my wisdom teeth, if they are not bothering you, I would never think about taking them out. I had a dentist recommend me getting mine out, I changed dentist.
Reply:I am from Europe also and you are right, they don't pull those teeth unless it is necessary. Three of mine were pulled because of problems, one is still there. I think that your dentist only wants money. I would get a second opinion and change dentists. Some dentist see only dollar signs and don't really care about their patients. Go on the net and do some research on wisdom teeth.
Good luck!
