The thing is that I really like coffee and tea, particularly in the winter (a winter that gets really cold where I am), but I'm afraid that having it daily would slowly stain my teeth. I usually only have one cup per day when I do have any.

Would having a cup of coffee in the morning, even while maintaining all of the dental habits I do currently, lead to a coffee stained smile, or would the brushing (with whitening toothpaste) and whitening mouthwash be enough to prevent that?

Kind of a dumb question, yes, but I wanted to get some input from others who maintain good teeth before I went experimenting on myself.]]>

for the last few days I have had slight movement and sensitivity in my two front teeth. I can feel movement when I push them back and forward with my tongue - they sort of click back into place very slightly. My gums seem to look ok. Could it possibly be from the hard boiled sweets I have been eating?! Is it normal to have slight movement in them or is there a reason that this would happen?

Thanks.]]>

You've gotta remember that in order for the enzyme to be activated, you need to puree it or at least chew them well. When they are pureed, you can even brush it on with your teeth.

There's some other great natural teeth whiteners out there. Try out Baking soda, some other fruits, crunchy veggies, etc.]]>

J]]> http://www.teethforum.com/thread-263.html Sun, 01 Aug 2010 07:43:12 -0700 http://www.teethforum.com/thread-263.html These five mini tricks are quick,easy,and super-powerful. Do them daily to look and feel your best!

1. Floss your teeth! Hormones you develop during puberty can make your gums more sensitive- and prone to gum disease. Flossing helps get rid of the bacteria that causes gum disease and can also help stop other infections from entering your system. Plus, it fights cavities and keeps your breath kissably fresh!

2. Take a T-O! Of course stress is bad, but want to know why? It can cause breakouts, sleep loss, headaches, eating issues, and even diarrhea. But meditating every day can reduce your anxiety, mellow you out about school drama, and even ease PMS symptoms! Twice daily, close your eyes for five minutes, sit quietly, and breathe deeply. Just set the alarm on your cell phone so you don't keep checking the clock!

3. Be a bedhead! Teens need nine hours of sleep a night- which is hard to get when you have practice, homework, and yeah, hot guys to IM! But try going to sleep 45 minutes earlier than usual: You'll be more focused at school, get better grades, and feel happier.

4. Drink Water! If you have cravings to eat but don't feel really hungry, guess what? You could just be thirsty. Instead of snacking for no reason, drink h20 throughout the day. You'll think better in class, too- even a mild case of dehydration affects your memory, math skills and concentration.

5. Get sunlight! Put on sunscreen, and take in 15 minutes of the sun's rays every day. They come through even on cloudy days!

Here are mine:

“Sometimes, we've had our ups and downs, but we're all together, and you're mine for a night.

I just wanted to ask some questions about general teeth healthcare. First off I think I have healthy teeth, no filling, all adult teeth sprouted and I brush and rinse twice a day, sometimes floss but its not comfortable. All my teeth are clean on the top, inside and outside with next to no stains.

I was just wondering, is it normal to have a little dip in your upper premolars? They haven't changed much and last time I went they dentist said they were fine, so I just wanna check.

Secondly, I have noticed that older peoples teeth, like 20-30 are generally flattened out, the incisors only. Is this natural? Also, do the incisors widen and flatten out as you pass the 60's region?

Between my bottom two middle incisors I have a tiny gap, about a fingernails width, so its pretty small. Would it be best to leave it?

Lastly, at the moment I have sensitive, I'm 14 and some slight acid erosion on my incisors. I used Sensodyne Pronamel for a while (two tubes) and now my teeth are better I decided to move onto a different toothpaste and mouthwash. Now I'm using BlanX Sensitive Whitening Toothpaste, BlanX mouthwash and OralB Precision Clean. The toothpaste and mouthwash work great and I'm rather fond of electronic toothbrushes. Could anyone recommend any other OralB electronic toothbrush for under £40?

My great aunt's daughter and her husband are both dentists and I'm going to visit soon. I'm just worried that sometimes when I brush, my gums start bleeding and I've seen all the adverts about gum disease and I'm scared. Should I not be scared?

Thank youuuu!]]>

Before I write this new post I wanted to explain a few things.
I am thirty-one, single, and currently a full time college student.
I am not employed at this time.
I have never been offered any dental plan or insurance by an employer.
I have never made over fifteen thousand dollars in one year.
I have no credit therefor I have bad credit.
I am engaged to a wonderful man who is diabetic and has a low income and child support responsibility.
I have been researching for a couple of months now.
I live in Central Texas.
Ninety percent of my family has been diagnosed with genetic disorders involving teeth, and gum health.

I am writing this and I am in sever pain. My front tooth broke in half horizontally a month ago. A filling fell out of my back molar years ago and has been abscessed several times.

I went to the ER today because that was my only choice. They numbed the entire right side of my face and gave me a prescription for anit-biotics, and a pain killer. The pain killer is having no effect, and the Ibuprofen I followed it up with a hour later isn't helping either. My face is no longer numb and the pain is excruciating.

I called a nurse and she advised me to try another pain killer, I did and it is still having no effect.

I know it is only a matter of time. The anit-biotics will eventually kick in and get rid of the infection. It may take a few days for the pain to subside, but eventually it will be gone.

If I do not get help the tooth or teeth for that matter will become infected once again, and the cycle will start all over again.

I've attempted to get help. There are two free clinics near me, but they will not take me simply because I live outside of the cities they serve. Its sad really, I live less than a mile away from one of the clinics.

If I forgo rent I will loose my place to live. The less expensive dentist wants three hundred dollars to extract one tooth. There is no use purchasing a dental plan because it will not cover extractions. I can not get a loan because I have no credit.

Imagine being in pain almost every day. Pain so severe it fills you with nausea. Imagine limiting your diet to bland, tasteless mushy food. Imagine trying to get enough nutrients in your body to keep you healthy. Imagine waking up four, or five times a night because the pain in your mouth will not simply just go away.

Try to cover your mouth every time you laugh, or want to smile because people stare at your teeth. Being told that, "There is no excuse to why your teeth are rotten," and then being blamed for something you couldn't control.

Growing stressed out and depressed because you are trying to find a means to better yourself with a good career, but can't because you need a full time job in order to fix your teeth.

Then imagine that some one has a cure, but they will not share it with you because you do not make enough money, or you live in the wrong area, or simply because they just don't care.

This is my life...]]>

When I asked a top dentist in salt lake he told me that the tray method is best but he knows toothpaste can work over time. Just not sure what brands are best to try whitening up a little this way? Is anyone familiar with this teeth whitening method?
