I have a series of questions about dental health. Please help?

June 30th, 2009
CrazyChick asked:


Okay, first question is what would cause someone’s teeth to become extraordinarily brittle? I’m in my mid-twenties and my teeth are breaking apart, regardless of good oral hygiene. I’ll just be eating something not even hard and feel something hard, and take it out to realize it’s part of another tooth. Is there a medical reason for this? I brush and floss as directed.

Second question, when I first started having this problem a few years ago, my dentist basically reconstructed some of my teeth with filling material, and it apparently did NOT work, since the fillings were the first to go. Is there any kind of more permenant fix, that will be healthy and also improve the look of my teeth?

Lastly, does anyone know what kind of cost I could be looking at? I mean, I know it depends on if I have to have root canals, crowns, quite possibly be sedated, but if we go ahead and assume it’s for the whole mouth, do you know if I’m looking at hundreds, thousands, or more dollars?
I’m so lucky to have you guys.

I am suffering from offensive smelly nose for almost 2 decades I have triedalmost everything you name it antibiotics,nasal spray,saline nose wash but unfortunately none of them didn’t solve the problem. It is highly embarassing and frustrating making my life a living hell friends and colleagues used to think I was lacking basic oral hygiene they thought the source of the foul smell was my mouth or the gut and to make sure I saw a dentist to check my mouth i.e. gum,teeth&and soft tissues Ihave also been seen by a gastrointernist everything is ok! the offender is my nose inflamed infected sinuses. Please!Please!Please!help share your knowledge make my life worth living. I would like to thank in advance for all your help. Many! Many! Thanks.

Quite a few teeth haven’t fallen out?

Thor E asked:


I am 22, and I was curious as to why my Canine Teeth(Upper and lower) and my First Premolar Teeth haven’t fallen out as a child. Ever. Sometimes they got a bit loose, and still do to this day, but they’re only like that for a few days. I have pretty good oral hygiene.

White spots on my front teeth?

June 21st, 2009
???È asked:


I have these 2 spots on the corners of my front teeth that are whiter than the rest of my teeth. They get lighter and darker sometimes. I have pretty good oral hygiene, I brush 2-3 times a day and floss everyday. I use Colgate total toothpaste and I’m 15 if that helps. What are these spots and how can I get rid of them.
