My teeth are going brown around the gums and quite a few of them have massive hole advice?

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009
Q.
After years of not looking after my teeth, smoking and drinking far too much coca cola my teeth are a state. There going brown around the gums and quite a few of my back teeth have massive holes in them. It doesn’t help that I’m terrified of dentists. Im only 19 and I’m so paranoid about them i even try my best to talk without showing my teeth. Im worried a cosmestic dentist would judge me because of this. I’m also terrified about going and the cost although I’m willing to put up with the pain and price to get my confidence back. It’s hard to concentrate on looking after then when there in such bad condition already.

I have had a tooth extracted and 12 day later my mouth feels hot is this an infection?

Friday, June 26th, 2009
Q.
I have had a tooth extracted of left upper 6. The dentist couldn’t get it out – I had a lot of trauma worse experience of my life! However 12 days later my mouth feels hot and the gum is SPLIT and it doesn’t look like its healing also funny tingles going on up there.. What is this an infection?… or is gum trying to heal?? Should I go back to dentist? ALSO The same tooth was part of a bridge; the other two teeth (4, 5 is in a shorter bridge now). He suggested an implant; but have been looking up about MAXI Implant which is cheaper and quicker – is this an option? Why didn’t he suggest a replacement bridge? is it because i now i have two missing teeth in that area? Why did the incisor tooth take so long to remove – it was about 10 minutes!! I had a terrible headache! He said because the ‘root’ was thick … is this usually the case?. Surely such difficult teeth should be taken out at the hospital!! Still traumatized patient… Thanks for your reply!

10 minutes isn’t that long for… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
