There is a HUGE black spot on my tooth what should I do?

I know I have a cavitity on my teeth. Not sure which. This black spot wasn't there by then. But about a year or two later(which was that years ago) I noticed a small black spot on my tooth and it won't go away. Now it's huge. It kinda hurts sometime too. But I have no dental insurance and even if I did I wouldn't go because i'm DEATHLY scared of Dentist(I bit his finger one time). Is there a way to cure this on my own? any help is appreciated.
--------------------
first off just because there is a black spot it doesnt mean its a hole it may be tarter and you need a professional clean or just a pit in your tooth that has a bad stain , but if it is starting to hurt then that is more of a sign of being a cavity , thing is people dont realise that a cavity need just a filling but you dont know how deep the decay is and once it goes to deep it reaches the nerve then a filling turns into and extraction or root canal , so the best thing is , is to book into your dentist for a consultation they wont do anything unless you want them to and then you will only be charged for a consult which is around the 80 mark , but its best to get checked before it becomes a bigger problem then you need

Should I screw over my boss?

Background info: he has bounced our paychecks and is now paying me in money orders. I was hired and told i would recieve med and dental insurance, yet I can never utilize it because the ins company says he never pays.I suspect the money he is taking out of my pay money orders.. err i mean checks is not actually going to my taxes ss etc. I also feel sexually harassed. I have been promised for a year a different position yet there is always an excuse. now one catch is that he loaned me $2000 when i needed it the most (car problems) however we are square on that and most. This is also a job in which i have to wear a bikini to work so not something i will ever put on my resume or use as a reference. Now my question is, should i give him 2 weeks notice leaving him with the satisfaction to tell me not to come back or should i drop off my key after work and not say a word and never come back or answer his calls? (thats what id like to do)
--------------------
Normally, I'd say it's good karma to do the right thing and act professional according to your own standards, not based on the actions of others. However, if you feel you have good reason to believe he's going to tell you to not come back after quitting or hassle you with your final paycheck, then it's perfectly justified to quit with zero notice.

Is it wrong for me to get mad about this?

Like I've said before, I'm 27 weeks pregnant, living with my boyfriend. He hasn't done really anything through my pregnancy, so far (like getting a job). His plans were to stop smoking weed this summer and join the navy, because the benefits are good! He'll get health and dental insurance and they'll pay his way through college, and our son will get those health benefits, as well. That's what was most important to me, because I'll be going off to college within the next year and it's going to be so hard for me to pay for hospital bills/medication (if something should happen to me or our son) while going to school. Those benefits for the baby would have eased alot of stress. But NOW, he's wanting just to go to college. I asked why he changed his mind and he said because he doesn't want to stop smoking weed. I support any decision he makes to further his education, because that's better than nothing, but I think that's selfish on his part. I had to exchange my career dreams for a career that I'm not completely interested in, but can support our family, but he can't put down the pot? It's not only that, but he's trying to go to college in COLORADO. We live in Texas and the thought of him being so far away from us tears me apart. Question is: Should I support his dreams fully and be positive that everything will turn out okay? OR Is this really something to talk/argue about with him?
--------------------
You are pregnant and you are about to start a family. Just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you need to marry the father of your baby, especially if the relationship isn't so good. The Navy is a big commitment, I wouldn't push him into going into the Navy just because it has good benefits and health plans, entering into any Government force is a big commitment and in the Navy you would barely see your husband either because they go out to sea a lot of the times, however if it is something he does like and was considering then I do believe he needs to wake up and grow up and realize that he's having a baby soon. If his plans are to go to college in another state why isn't he inviting you to go with him? You don't leave your family behind for college, you take them with you. I'm sorry but it seems to me like he is trying to run away from his responsibilities, and he needs to grow up and realize that he's going to be a Dad soon, if he wasn't ready to give up smoking weed to get a job and support his family then he should had thought about all that before getting you pregnant. You have to confront him, this isn't something you just let go, Don't pus him into the Navy, but he definitely needs to get a Job and he needs to stay close to his family, if he doesn't want that then you need to make a choice, you need to decide if this is the life you want, is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with? Just because he's the father doesn't mean you have to stay with him. As for you going to college, don't give up what you wanted to study, there are many plans the government can help with for single mothers going to school, many grants and other things. Look into it, but don't give up. You got yourself in this position so now you also have to grow up and take responsibility, don't rely on a man to get you where you want to be. I hope it works out for you because it's nice to have a whole family but if it doesn't, you need to be strong for you child, move on, get a job and continue school.

INVISALIGN- Does it move upper teeth up?

I had a bottom baby tooth removed on my mouth's left side when I finished high school because for some reason the adult tooth never came in. Because I left for college after and had problems with my dental insurance, the dentist didn't put in the implant tooth until a few years later. During this time when I had a missing lower tooth, the UPPER teeth on mouth's left side dropped down. Now that side is VERY gummy when I smile and the other is normal. Ugh! I don't like my smile at all! I'm thinking about invisalign for the crookedness on my teeth in general, but my question is if INVISALIGN will push those upper teeth on my left side back up (as braces would do)???
--------------------
I wouldn't trust Invisalign for intruding a tooth. Invisalign is best for minor movements. You should really see an orthodontists to get their opinion.

problem after extraction?

Ok so about two weeks ago I had the number 19 tooth pulled, then a week later I had to get the one right in front of it pulled. That was because the nerve was shot. Ever since I have had so much pain I have had dry sockets packed and the packing comes out. Today the reopened and put the stitches in. Well I was eating ice cream, soft food, and all the sudden my stitches came out and so did the other packing of the dry socket. MY dentist believes I have a infection and that is why my mouth is so irratated. He said if he can't heal it hell send me to an oral surgeon. Only problem is I don't have dental insurance. I have been on antibiotics for at least a week and my mouth is still infected. Underneath my tongue I have blisters. I am not sure what to do, I know this is not normal. My husband says I have to be doing something wrong for the stuff to be falling out. But I am not only soft foods, I just want to feel better. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also are their picvtures of tooth infection. The dentist said something about tooth rot. Thanks
--------------------
I am not gonna say that I am totally sure about the answer.it is really depending on the personal mind.thus it would better for you to try to find the best answer yourself.Here    www.HealthInsuranceFree.info/dental.html    is a good resource for reference though.

Is it ok to ask for a Mercury poisoning test?

I broke a tooth with a silver filling about a year and a half ago. It didnt hurt and I dont have dental insurance so I didnt go to the dentist. 2008 was the worst year of my life as far as panic attacks, anxiety, depression, death of a friend, extreme fatigue (that the doctor cannot help me with it seems) My memory is getting really bad, and my ability to function normally is like dissappearing. I get tingling sensations.My eyelid twitches. my back feels kinda like its tingly numb. I leave out letters and words when I write sometimes. Im having hard time comprehending things. And learning new stuff or problem solving is like so hard I cant do it. Im trying so many things to help w/ all of this diet, exercise, thinking positively, going to therapy and talking about crap I never had to talk about before to see if that is the problem. Some things are a little better but this extreme fatigue and like my cognitive abilities are getting worse. I went to the dentist he said I have mercury amalgam fillings and the broken one is leaking. Well mercury is very toxic. The more I read about it I cant believe they put it in peoples mouths. But there are still people who say its safe. I don't know what to believe. I want to have my blood or urine tested for mercury levels just for my peace of mind. I get extremely tired after eating inspite of trying very hard to keep my blood sugar within safe levels. Could it be that eating aggravates the fillings and Im sensative to mercury? Could it be intensifying my mood swings and making my memory go bad? I have this constant metal taste in my mouth but mercury is odorless and tasteless I hear. If I tell this to a doctor will they just laugh at me or will they give me a mercury test? Im 29 years old and I feel like Im losing my mind and going to have dementia and extreme exhaustion where I wont be able to leave my bed if I dont get to the bottom of this.
--------------------
Just ask him to do it. He should. I had mine test me for lead. You are the one paying him. He shouldn't have aproblem with it. Don't be afraid to ask him. I've thought about doing the same. But most of my dental work has come apart and gone.

What procedures will I have to go through to fix my tooth?

A small bit of a filling came out of my molar a couple months ago, and since I did not have dental insurance, I couldn't afford to fix it (they said it would need a crown). However, now a large piece of the tooth has broken off and I can afford to fix it. After it broke off, I brushed my teeth to clean it out. As I brushed, I noticed a lot of brownish red stuff of slightly hard material was coming out of it with the brush. Was that the tooth pulp and does that mean the tooth is dead? Is the tooth repairable or will it need to be completely replaced?
--------------------
if it's tooth pulp chances are you'll feel pain. only after your dentist look at it again, he'll evaluate whether the tooth is salvageable. If there's still a good portion of the tooth remain a crown may still be made. If the tooth was broken down straight to the root(not so likely in your case, usually hurts when this happens) then it's hard to save the tooth. There's always option to restore the space if the tooth must be pulled. Go see your dentist again. Good luck.
