Read More...I need some advice. I brush my daughter’s teeth every day, yet all of her molars have decay. She doesn’t cooperate with the dentist and I don’t know what to do.

Read More...I am deathly afraid of the dentist and haven’t been in years. My teeth have always seemed healthy. At least, I had not had any problems with them. A few weeks ago I was attacked. Somehow, they managed to strip a piece of my enamel off. It didn’t take long before my tooth started hurting […]
Read More...I had a dental crown placed on a tooth. It was purely for cosmetic reasons. The tooth itself was healthy. A few weeks later it started hurting and was sensitive to hot and cold. I called the dentist and he said that was pretty normal for the first few weeks. I’d never had a crown […]
Read More...I need some advice. I have two teeth that hurt so badly that I cannot even eat anymore. I am in absolute agony. I know you are going to tell me to go to the dentist but I am absolutely terrified of them. Even just thinking about going makes me almost throw up, which I […]
