I meant to get in before we got pregnant, it happened sooner than expected and my husband’s job dental insurance policy had a lapse for some reason. Anyhow, now I am pregnant and havent been to dentist in a long time. Is it safe to get a cleaning while pregnant? What if there is a cavity, can it be filled during pregnancy?

Can you get dental work done will your wearing braces?
…………………… like filing for cavites, extractions
if so what work can you get done

I have never gone to small claims and I am terrified. I have asked for a refund for the work that the dentist originally performed as well as the work that I have to do to repair it, is that fair? Should I have only asked for a refund? Please help, I have tried to be fair to the dentist through all of this, but what is fair to me?
In California
Will the court deem my request fair for asking for both a refund for her work and for the repairs?

Im frightened of the dentist but im going today how can i help myself avoid feeling the pain and the annoyance of the whole process and make the event go by fast as possible.

she had a bad experience at a dentist office about a year ago. there is a GREAT dentist office where we live now and i cant get her to go.

I went to the dentist yesterday to fill a gap in my tooth. He put cotton balls in and the second time he did i felt a burning. It was ok but last night about 2 hours after my lip started hurting. Its all white and very painful. And the top layer of the skin is like missing. Does anyone no what it is and what i should do to help it or what to do?

I HATE going to the dentist. It’s not that I have bad teeth or anything, but I can’t stand going for a check-up. Any tips?

Which works better and has less side side effects?
Also, which Whitestrips work best? (if you think the Whitestrips are better than going to the dentist)
Thank you!
Thank you for the answers! So has anyone tried the Crest Whitestrips? Which of those work the best? Also, money isn’t too much of a deciding factor for me, I would just like to know which works best, lasts the longest, and has the least after-pain. Thanks again!

My bottom front teeth chipped in the back a while ago, it built up with plaque and it seemed to be like a real tooth. Well, I started taking more care of them and while flossing today about half of the back of one of my front teeth fell out. So about 1/4 of the total tooth (and it’s from the gum line)

How will a dentist fix this? Filling/bonding, cap/crown? Will I need a root canal?

Teeth are examples of solid matter. When you eat hot food or
drink cold water, your teeth will expand or contract depending
on the temperature inside of your mouth. What would a dentist
need to consider when filling a cavity?
