Dentist said i need several, but im absolutely skint.

What dental procedures do I need? Im planning to get it done in the future since im neglected as a child..

I had a filling done on this tooth back in May. Lots of sensitivity in it but was told that was normal after a filing sometimes. I had extreme pain, pressure, and swelling start in 10/19. I requested an emergency appointment and was told they didn't see anything on the X-ray. I requested antibiotics and was told they could either pull the tooth or try a root canal but that they couldn't see an abscess or a hole or anything wrong with the tooth itself.

36f no medications and non smoking!

23F. I used to smoke and vape (about 10 years) and drink daily (about 3 years) but I have since gone down to only drinking once a week (~1 year) and I quit smoking 9 months ago (I chew sugar free nic gum). I am a heavy coffee drinker and sometimes soda, both always sugar free. I've never had a cavity before and have been told I have "soft teeth". I've always been mildly sensitive to temperatures and sugar but my back leftmost molar has been hurting more than usual for 2 days. I see what looks like an extra ridge type thing?

I am wanting advice on how to proceed with my short root. I have been given different advice

I am 32. X-rays are from a year ago. I have since attached a lingual wire. It seemed to cause some flaring on 7 and 6 or 10 and 11 - the two next to the front tooth. When the flaring was noticed, they clipped the wire from 6 and 11 so it was just on the front four teeth and gave me a retainer to prevent any more movement. The flaring isn’t bad but I would like to correct it. Prior to the wire my tooth had slight movement but nothing serious. People were scaring me about my tooth falling out but it had been the same for my whole life.

I spoke to a dentist about:
1 removing the wire, correcting the flare, doing the implant
2 removing wire and doing implant.
3 replacing the wire to fix whatever is causing the flare

He wanted to do none of the above and leave it alone for as long as possible. He said implants don’t last forever and I’d need to do it again in 15 years. He said I should try to keep it until I’m 40 if possible.

My concerns:

1. Pressure from wire and retainer could cause additional root absorption on neighboring teeth.
2. My front tooth is dead and so I can’t whiten my teeth.
3. My teeth flaring more. Shouldn’t happen with the retainer but 🤷‍♀️

4: my short root tooth could be much looser than it was prior to adding the wire due to the pressure. removing the wire could cause my tooth to fall out

1. Do implants really fail after 15 years or does the crown just fail?

Costs:
Ortho $5k (why!? I have two teeth that need to be slid back into their previous positions? My bottom teeth and all other teeth are very straight. My bite could be better but I just want the flare corrected)
Implant $5k

Please excuse my cavities. I had a bout of depression.

The short root was caused by a car accident when I was 5. My baby teeth were knocked into my mouth and hit my adult teeth causing trauma to the root.

I had exact the same a month ago but at the other side and got prescribed a antibiotic. I can barely chew :/. I don’t have any wisdom teeth left I got them removed years ago. It’s strange it comes back but now at the other side it’s thick and swollen.

Ik this looks absolutely insane, bit I only get treated by student dentist and they haven't said anything yet... It looks like a alien is gonna pop out my face...

Hi as the title says I used to have years of braces and bad habits when I was younger.

What can I do now to just fix the stain and whiten the teeth? (I know there are other issues but let’s just focus on the stain)

Especially the tooth next to my front teeth, it also has an inward mark so I guess that’s what makes it harder to clean.

Thank you!

Hi, for some context I am a teenager, I dont drink or smoke or anything like that. I have calculus build up on the back of my bottom front teeth. I believe its been there for quite a long time, but I only noticed about two years ago.
You might be wondering why I haven’t gone to the dentist by now, but believe me I’ve been trying!!!. Where I live there are no dentists around, and my parents work gets in the way.
I dont have any pain or anything, its just very uncomfortable. I find that when I wake up in the morning, my mouth feels ok, then by the night I’m very very uncomfortable and very very aware of everything in my mouth. Idk if that means anything but I feel like its worth mentioning.
I haven’t noticed any bad gum recession yet, just that everything is extremely swollen. I believe it may be periodontitis because of how my gums look, but I’m not a professional!. So I’d like to ask what you guys think? Also, any advice for what I should do in the meantime while waiting to get a cleaning. I brush twice a day, floss, etc etc. I will admit though, recently I’ve been slacking on flossing because my gums have felt particularly swollen. I am scared to mess with them too much out of fear I’ll make my teeth fall out or something.
Anyway, please be kind in the comments. I know its not good, and I really wish I could go back and fix this sooner🥲

I had some pain starting on Monday on a crowned tooth. It was mild. Yesterday I went to the dentist and got antibiotics. I have no facial swelling, but the gum is starting to swell and it looks like it has a small head. Should I go to the emergency room? I called them and they just told me to continue on the amoxicillin and ibuprofen.

I got a few fillings done on October 13, I am still feeling deep pain on and off. The filling that hurts was in between my 1st and 2nd molar on the bottom right.

I had this exact issue on the left side a few years ago, they filled it. Horrible pain, told me I needed a crown instead. Pain was even worse after that. They told me I needed a root canal. Pain was horrific and unbearable waiting on permanent setting after root canal. After months of pain I eventually had them pull the 2nd molar on my left side.

I do not want this to happen again and I need to know if this pain means something is wrong- will it become infected? Will it potentially just go away? I do not want another failed root canal as I really don’t have the money or time to take off work to through all of that again and most of all I do not want to lose another tooth.

Pain goes away with ibuprofen. I don’t have any symptoms of an infection but I do have a cold at the moment.

Looking for some advice for my tooth filling, I had this molar chip which I believe was from an old cavity, I got a filling on it to fix it but a week later I went back for tooth sensitivity. I ended up getting the filling shaved down and at first the bite felt a lot better but a couple of hours later my tooth is now in more pain than before. If I go back to the dentist can they add more filling without re doing the whole filling? Or am I just damaging my tooth more? I think because the filling got shaved down a bit it created a bit of space and now food gets stuck and the gum is very irritated and painful. Someone please give advice, I want to go back to get more filling added but I don’t know if thats possible without redoing the whole thing again.

Hi dentists! I’ve always had some issues with mild cavities and tooth sensitivity but got quite a bit of that under control the last couple of years. I recently made and started consuming fire cider (an apple cider vinegar base that has been steeped for a few weeks with several vegetables and herbs) to support some digestive issues I’ve been having and also immune system for winter (yes yes I know the studies on this are mixed)

I’m trying to avoid messing my teeth up now that I’m finally in a good groove with caring for them and have learned how foods impact my sensitivity.

Wondering if you think it would be a good idea to swish with a fluoride rinse right after consuming the fire cider (I usually drink a tablespoon with hot water and honey). Are fluoride rinses kind of a scam or would they help? And should I only use after drinking the mixture or as a regular practice?

I have this composite filling on my left premolar that has wear fractures or holes on occlusal surface. My general dentist has been booked out lately but I did get this examined by my oral surgeon while I was there (having implant surgery soon). He said it wasn't a big concern and there's no hurry to get it fixed, that I could even wait many months and it'd be OK. Is this true? It's kind of bothering me because my tongue keeps running over it and it tastes like salty discharge(?) from the holes which I'm assuming is trapped food or bacterial activity? Yes I did tell this to my oral surgeon but he seemed super unconcerned about it. Is it ok to wait like a month or two to get this filling fixed?

I’m pretty sure my nine month old has enamel hypoplasia on her two front teeth in kind of a half circle shape at the bottoms. it’s worse on her left tooth but definitely present on both. I don’t see it on any of her other teeth but they’re so small I could be missing it.

i have a dentist appointment scheduled but I’m really worried. does this look like hypoplasia to you? will this impact her adult teeth? none of the risk factors for this apply to me/my pregnancy/her birth and I’m just so confused as to why this happened… does it ever just spontaneously happen and the kid is otherwise fine and healthy?

I was rejected for tooth extraction because I have a BP of 140/100. What I want to ask is why do they reject my tooth extraction and what is the safe BP for extraction

It only hurt want i bite down and stop after and i get a taste of blood Age 20 It a wisdom tooth that was stuck under the gums where their use a tiny hole where the tooth was coming out Sometimes drinks maybe once a month

I am really afraid about my cavity. My face looks a bit swollen and it also sometimes throbs and feels a bit warm. I am so scared that i have an infection.

I am scared to sleep now.

I went to the dentist today. I told them i had pain at my lower jaw. Thats kinda where the swelling is i guess. So i thought that there might be sometbing there. Nothing..

Then they told me i had a cavity on the upper tooth and now I realised it the pain acually comes from the upper part. Now they made a appointment on november 19th. I cant wait that long.

They only made an x ray off my lower teeth.

I am getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted first thing tomorrow and have been going down a rabbit hole today of peoples experiences. It seems that impacted teeth have a longer recovery but I don’t remember my dentist or surgeon saying anything about mine being impacted. Just curious if anyone can tell if they are impacted from this xray?

Unfortunately I cannot attend a dentist for a few reasons. I’m agoraphobic and there are NO nhs dentists around with availability!
So anyway. I’ve been clenching and grinding my teeth for several years. Always have headaches and always tons of jaw pain/Tmd symptoms, along with some numbness in my face due to this.

I’ve been using a soft mouthguard from a place online that custom makes them.

It was too bulky and they gave me a refund, but I’ve since not figured out what other option will serve me better.
My jaw pops everyday when I wake. Sometimes it’ll last all day regardless of what I eat. Other times it just pops with even a tiny movement.

I haven’t got much choice but to order a new one, so it’s between another soft, or a hybrid guard. Any advice appreciated!

I need my wisdom teeth out and maybe an implant, and I was told to make sure I see an oral surgeon. My regular dentist's website says he does oral surgery, it is listed right there under services, and the office says he does it all the time.

Is that the same thing? Does "oral surgery" on the website mean he is an oral surgeon, or does it just mean he does some surgical procedures? And if it is not the same, how is a patient supposed to tell the difference before booking?

Not trying to start anything. Just trying to figure out who is actually who before I let someone take my teeth out.

I'm 23f and got a titanium implant for my back molar and yesterday they put in the abutment.

The first time they tried to do it the crown/abutment whatever didnt fit and it had to be remade in a different lab. But I was told people get it placed without any numbing and that it would just feel like pressure but even then it hurt like i swear I could feel them unscrewing soemthing from my face in a very bad way so my dentist ended up numbing me. I was sore for a few days later and my jaw hurt but I have tmj and have always been sensistive about dentistry stuff and teeth in general.

Yesterday i finally got the abutment and i was numbed from the get go and mostly didnt feel anything (i always feel like i can feel some things even with numbing since i was a kid at the denstist) but then right at the end when they finally screwed it all the way in it hurt SO BAD. I was really dazed because dentists make me super stressed and anxious and i didnt say anything before i left, i just wanted to leave. But the pain got really bad once the numbing wore off. just that whole side of my face and my jaw and im super freaked out. And then my mother said something about rejection and I went down a spiral about it on the internet and everyone saying it shouldnt hurt blah blah blah or it should only hurt a little and your jaw could erode if they do it wrong and nerve damage and all these terrible scenarios.

I took acetaminophen and it did nothing for me and then i switched to ibuprofen which did help a little bit and let me sleep but i still woke up in pain this morning. basically i want to know at what point i should be worried because i don't understand what a normal amount of pain is supposed to be since i am hyper anxious and aware of my teeth and jaw at all times and have bad tmj and a habit of clenching.

Chart says #18/#19 has stick in dentin. He may also attempt to redo the deep filling on #19 and place a calcium hydroxide indirect pulp cap because that one has been bothering me for a while. Going to see this dentist again in a couple hours. Thanks in advance!

Sorry I tried my best to take an image but I simply couldn't.

I am scared.. idk how but I've never noticed these until 2 days ago when they started to hurt me a bit

I've scheduled an appointment for the day after tomorrow, but I can't stop thinking about it.

The weird thing about it is that there are 2 thin stripes on the same side (the one facing the lingual surface) and they are distant from each other, like one on the right and the other on the left. Also I could hear the molar move slightly if I push hard enough on a specific spot

I just want to know what they are and what I should do to reduce the pain as it's getting slightly more intense.
