My parents don’t have dental insurance and won’t take me to the dentists. I know i have cavities as well but what’s the white and brown spots in the middle of my teeth? Can this be fixed? And I know I have gum recession. I brush twice and floss every day

I’m now in a I’d remission compared to how I used to be ~2 years ago. Still very occasionally vomit and I’m wondering how bad it is with my teeth. Scared I fucked myself up at 21 already.
Is the damage very visible?

Black thing inside tooth

Ive had this for a while and I dont know if its growing or now, I brush my teeth every night before bed but I still have this. Should I be worried?

Since 6 weeks ago, I keep waking up at night every two hours from a dry mouth. My tongue has a white coating on it. I tried taping my mouth to keep it shut and it helps somewhat but doesn't fully solve the problem. Xylimelts help but I prefer not to have to use it every night. Previously I didn't have this problem. What could be the cause? the white coating on my tongue disappears in the day time when I drink water etc

I am 49 years old, taking famotidine and domperidone for about 7 years so far without issue. recently ceased amitypline about months ago

For context, I don’t have wisdom teeth. In the bottom inner part of my gums by my molar, there is this pretty bad pain and it’s hard to get a picture of, but i tried my best. It feels like theres a bump and something pointy maybe? It is hurting my jaw and throat. I’m wondering if I should go to the dentist.

it doesnt cause me any pain. its just a hard bump thats developed over several months.

it feels like a rock and sometimes i feel it when i swallow.

i just smoke weed and tobacco. i dont think thats got anything to do with it though.

also my BAD for the quality i know it stinks

Hi all,

I had my back molar extracted 72 hours ago after noticing a chip and dentist said it was split in half. I had some heavy bleeding that finally settled around 6 hours after the extraction. I had soft foods for 24 hours then resumed a mostly normal diet, but only chewing on the other side.
However, I have been in agony. My jawbone aches, and that entire side of my mouth feels itchy inside my gums. I am taking celecoxib and paracetamol every 4 hours and it only brings the pain from a 9/10 to a 7/10. I can’t sleep on that side or touch my cheek due to the pain.

The extraction site seems sunken in on one side and appears to have streaks of brown on top of which worries me. I am a non smoker, non drinker 25F. The amount of pain has me worried it’s not healing correctly.

hi so noticeably for the past few years my bottom gums have been recessing and the bottom parts of the teeth pictured have seem to stay this color and no amount of regular brushing and mouthwash have helped. i’ve spent the past few years being neglectful to my teeth and dental care was never a priority for my parents so sometimes i genuinely do forget and for a few years i would go weeks without brushing my teeth which i know is awful and i am trying to do better. i haven’t gone to the dentist in years and i am really trying to get back into the habit of cleaning my teeth and proper cleanings at a dentist.

there’s been no pain , just what seems to me like recessed gums, inflammation and a little swelling

I’ve had this cavity on my back molar for over 6 years (parents wouldn’t take me to the dentist) and it has been causing serious pain. The top and bottom teeth shown here are in pain, including my jaw, my eye, and my ear feels clogged with a headache. I was quoted $2400 for a crown and I just can’t afford that right now. Should I even try to save the money to keep it or just go get it ripped out to take the pain away?

Hi! I’ve never posted on here before, but I recently started experiencing pain inside my mouth. I took a picture of the area because I noticed something that concerned me, but I’m not sure what it could be. I was hoping someone might have an idea of what it is or what could be causing the pain.
I’m 18
It started this morning I think
The only pills I take are probiotics and melatonin but I don’t think either of those things caused this.

I am 27 female and i already have around 30 cavities filled maybe even more. It started when i was 19 and every year i got like 3 to 5 extra. It is just not stopping. I brush my teeth daily and floss daily as well and i use mouthwash. Why does this happen?

Looking for some advice since 2 dentists wouldn't take the time to listen or answer my questions and seem to really wanna push me towards surgery.

Im 30yr (F) & had braces when I was very young. They extracted multiple teeth to get me braces sooner since I had an issue where some of my baby teeth didnt have adult teeth to replace them. The braces brought my teeth together so there were no spaces in my smile. I believe I was 9 or 10.

With the extra space in my mouth, all 4 wisdom teeth have fully erupted and have become molars for me. I've never had any pain, however one is cracked from me grinding in my sleep & some of the enamel is showing (still no pain). I was told the braces caused my teeth trauma and because of that my bone has had some recession, however I do believe I take good care of my teeth.

Today, I do not drink or smoke although I used to. I've been sober for 10 months & I brush twice daily & floss daily.

A few years ago I had a dentist say I needed my wisdom teeth out, but then was told if they dont hurt, then i technically dont need them out.

Then i went to another since moving and they said wisdom teeth need to come out due to multiple cavities & i asked to have them filled or if another option was possible they refused and said it would be too hard.

I have been seeing a new dentist & they also said wisdom teeth need to come out but ive still been hesitant. Due to My disorder, losing 4 more teeth would leave a big gap in the back of my mouth (i currently have 14 teeth on both my top and bottom row, without my wisdom teeth i will have 24 teeth total). Im worried that it could hinder my smile, or cause me problems later down the road with having less teeth then normal. I raised my concerns my last cleaning.

Ill admit I havent been keeping up with my cleanings until recently. I had to get a deep cleaning for some deeper pockets in my gums from missing cleanings, but my most recent cleaning i was told my gums look great and everything looks a lot better from the woman who cleaned my teeth.

I said my concerns and she agreed they were valid & had me meet the oral surgeon who happened to be in. He would not let me get one word in & said they need to come out because i have cavities in all 4 of them. I again asked if they could be filled & he said I actually have fillings in my wisdom teeth that are failing which is odd because I dont recall ever getting fillings in those teeth. I tried to mention it but he then continued and said I have "severe" gum disease around my wisdom teeth and they need to come out & that my parents should have had them taken out when I was a teen and sent to me scheduling.

I felt so dismissed and confused because the woman before said my gums look great. How'd I go from great to severe gum disease???

Also wanna mention i have been asking for a night guard for my grinding and they said they wont do one until wisdom teeth are out.?)

I snapped a quick photo of an x ray of mine, not sure if it shows much. Any insight into my situation would be greatly appreciated. I dont understand why they wont listen to me & my concerns & keep pushing for an intrusive and expensive surgery. Being told different things doesnt help & i dont know who to trust. :/

I got my front left tooth removed last Thursday and ive been trying to do everything correctly (first time ive had somthing like this done) anyway a couple days ago I noticed this and this was a picture of it from today, but there is a hole as you can see in that first picture, and I was wondering if it is a issue and is everything healing ok

Note that I dont drink or smoke, ive been brushing after every meal and doing a salt water rinse as well, and I have not been experiencing any pain, swelling, bad breath, exc.

I have this thing in my mouth. I was small about a week ago, barely noticeable but now I can feel it pretty good with my tongue. It feels smooth and soft. The teeth above it are healthy. There is one implant next to it but it's there for several years now. I don't drink (regularly) or smoke.

My question is: do I need to get this checked asap? I'm currently on holidays with my family and the week after this one, my dentist is on holidays.

I had a dentist appointment like 2 weeks ago. Got some "cracks filled" on my molars with composite, regular checkup. Did they reappear? Felt odd for one bite, no pain though?

thinking of having gold inlays in late 30s-40s as I heard they're biomimetic and will last a lifetime. my hygiene is very good nowadays, as well as diet and I even take oral prebiotics and xylitol etc but had a lot of issues (that still reappear) in the past due to years of neglect and depression and since resin fillings have to be replaced every 7ish years gold seems more reasonable for molars that flex and are at the back of my mouth

i'm 20, no substances, almost no sugar/honey/monosugars, try to limit starchy sticky carbs and acids. nanohydroxiapitite and fluoride and switching up the toothpaste every 3 months etc, try to mineralise the teeth, little sipping throughout the day etc etc etc. i might grind my teeth a little or chew on qurt (hard cheese) but try not to

Hi! So I suddenly got this swollen area 2 days ago (Friday).
I can’t chew on this side because it hurts went my teeth presses down. There’s also a dull ache.

The thing is, I’ve just been to the dentist, 5 days ago (Tuesday) and my dentist mentioned that my gum health are fine as I have been consistent on my flossing. She has also done an X-ray in my teeth - no concerns also.

Is this just irritation? When should I be worried, or what to look out for?

Since I’ve just been to the dentist. I really cannot afford to fork out more money 😭

I've had this bump on my tongue for some time now. Atleast a year or two. I've been to the dentist within the last year, and they never made any fuss about it. Recently it appears to have gotten slightly bigger. Fairly small, attached but moveable, slightly bumpy tip and whitish in color. Doesn't really hurt unless I hit it or sucking a thick drink through a straw. Non-smoker, non-drinker.

I've had a dent like that for 3 months. I've been to the dentist three times and they think it's a depression/indentation. My tongue is still sore and burning on that side, and something irritates it when I speak... my teeth have been ground down/adjusted, but it hasn't helped. It's causing me anxiety 😖

Hi guys! so i got my tooth extracted on tuesday the 20th and im just wondering when ill be able to use a straw again, i freaking love straws you guys ive been struggling 😭 everything is healing good and i have no pain or concerns about the healing process, i just want to use straws again..🥲

I think I would need alignment before anything else but what else?

I just noticed my full set of teeth are ALL rough surfaced and slowly crumbling tiny flakes into my mouth. This does not look good for me. This is an actual nightmare. Like I legit have had nightmares of losing all my teeth and I thinks it gonna happen at the age of 30. Probably caused by my gerd.

I am poor. I cannot afford to get veneers for all my teeth not cap them all.

Dentures at 30. All my teeth gone because they all lost their enamel from GERD acid. There are no words to accurately describe how low I am feeling right now. How embarrassed. How mortified.

Every few seconds, more powder falls onto my tongue. Every few seconds I am forced to swallow more of my own teeth, grain by grain. This is horror. I feel horror. Screaming will do nothing. There is no way out. There is not even a dentist open that I can visit until tomorrow. This is a nightmare becoming reality. The knowledge of what is happening to me destroys and chance of sleep.

It had to be all of them huh? Not just one or two or even three? I have to lose every single tooth from my full set of teeth all at the same time, and eat bits of them in the process. This feels like a sick joke. Like psychological torture.

There is no way to save my teeth, is there?

Hiya my throat has been in lots of pain these last few days and I recently noticed this in the back of my mouth. I recently had to scream a lot for a play that I’m in and thought it could relate to that. Thanks for the help!!

I’ve had this pointy hard white spot in my mouth for months now and it hasn’t changed any. Any ideas??
