well a bit of filling broke off the back of the 2nd bicuspid tooth a few month ago but I have been trying to keep it clean until I see my dentist in November. The tooth is itself has been filled twice now!! & it broke for the first time about a year & half ago & was filled again but broke this time at the back with a big hole & a small bit at the side which is letting in food. what will happen to that tooth I can it clean & floss it & use a tooth pick to get the food out the hole & the GUM so I don’t get an abscess but can the tooth be saved?

Hi, does having toothache have anything to do with your immune system or is it just your teeth .. and does anyone know how to get rid of of toothache ??????

I have been being treated by my dentist for an abscessed tooth. I went in today to have it pulled and the infection is still there. I have taken Amoxicillin 500 mg for 16 days and rinsed twice daily with peroxide. Now he has prescribed Cephalexin 500 mg for 7days and rinse daily with warm salt water.
Does it normally take this long to clear up an infection or is something else wrong? I have never had an abscessed tooth before. The infection was bad in the beginning and had even spread into my neck. I am concerned and my dentist is stumped by this too, I just want to get the infection cleared up so that the tooth can be pulled, I have suffered with it for over a month. Any information you can provide would be helpful. Thank you.

i have a toothache on one of my lower molars… it hurts.. and at school i cant concentrate sometimes coz it hurts-it really wouldnt have mattered if we didnt have such a strict teacher for math,anyway-i take panadol to ease the pain,but it doesnt work.. any home remedies??
and one of my other teeth on the upper left side-a bit of that has broken-i dont know why..
how should i take care of my teeth?

I was playing basketball with my friend, he jumped to shoot, I jumped to pack(block)…
My elbow collided with his front tooth (left one from my point of view), and it broke in half.. His tooth kind of scratched my elbow…
So we found his tooth on the ground, my elbow is bleeding… It was broken in half and I don’t think there was much blood on his broken tooth that was still in the gum… He think its a permanent tooth…
Will the dentist be able to fix his tooth so it stays on? Like with porcelain… Because when I broke my tooth biking a chip came out and they covered it up with porcelain.. Will the same happen to him?… (He is 13..)
Thanks

earlier this week, i started getting really bad pains in the upper back right side of my mouth…. i assumed it was one of my wisdom teeth coming in… the pain was mild at first.. but then it just got worse… i tried taking extra strength Tylenol, Advil, and i went to walmart and bought some Ambesol to put on it, but nothing was helping… i tried to go to sleep that night and i did.. for only about an hour an a half! ..the pain got so horrible, it woke me up and i couldnt get back to sleep.. i started getting headaches and earaches on the right side of my face where the tooth pain was… Finally, it was about 4 in the morning and the pain was so unbearable that i went to the hospital… they told me i had a “Dental abscess” and my back tooth was cracked… they wrote me up a prescription for Penicillin and Percocet, and its been helping with the pain, but i dont know what comes next? I know i need to see my dentist.. but what do they do about abscessed teeth? …someone inform me!!

my husband has a horrible toothache, he dont have insurance and is laid off currently, so there for no money, what can we do for this? can we get free dental help somewhere and what can we give him for it to help the pain??

I go to the dentist regularly and at my 6 month exam was told everything was fine. I brush and floss regularly and am working seriously to reduce my intake of soda pop and sweets. How after only 6 weeks (last exam) can a tooth go from okay to needing a root canal in an emergency situation. How do I keep this from happening again? Besides the obvious pain, it cost me $1700.

i have an infected tooth in the side of my mouth it’s been there almost a year, but for the past several months i’ve felt deathly sick, i have no insurance and the e.r. can’t do nothing for me i have dark circles under my eyes and a little rash im always puking and feel like my body is giving up on me…what do i do? help!!!!
