Is this what tooth decay is?

I think I have tooth decay in one of my teeth. actually im pretty sure since there is a hole there. but it dont hurt when i eat or anything so Im guessing its not that bad. I admit I havnt taken good care of my teeth in the past but since I found this problem it has scared me into taking better care of my teeth. But My question is if i keep brushing my teeth 2 to 3 times a day will the hole get worse? I dont have dental insurance and dont have the money to pay to get it fixed.
--------------------
Once decay has started in a tooth, it will never go away and you cannot fix it... It will only get worse over time... The decay is usually under the tooth where you cannot see it and brushing it more will not make it go away... You can have IV dental surgery to prevent you having pain associated with this tooth if need be... That's what I do...

my mouth is so sore somebody please help?

OK first off it's not a tooth ache...My gums are swollen but not real bad and I believe it is from my wisdom teeth coming in....I'm not going to lie and say that dont have any teeth problems or that I never have...but I have never had pain last like this I have been hurting on and off for 3 days...more on than off....Its not always hurting but the most annoying part of it is that it feels like my jaw is really tired and I cant relax it..like when you chew for a long time.....my point is anyway is there anyway to ease the pain...i have tried orajel...tylenol...and warm salt water.....nothing seems to help.....my other problem is I dont have dental insurance anymore plus Im pregnant so they cant cut my wisdom tooth out.....Please help??

You need to find a dental school around you or a community clinic that is low cost. Many people think they can't go to the dentist when they are pregnant, but that is not true. They can even take your wisdom teeth out with just a local anesthetic. (not put to sleep) Tooth pain will not go away with anything until the problem is taken care of. (example-take the tooth out) How far along are you? Most likely if you ask your OB you can take antibiotic and tylenol 3. Use half warm water and half peroxide rinses and you can even brush with it. Use warm compresses on your face 10 mins on 10 mins off. (These instructions are all for wisdom teeth pain) So hopefully that is what it is.

Can I get my chipped tooth fixed free because of their mistake?

I went to the dentist on Wednesday (6/2/10) to get two cavities filled. After the dentist was done drilling the person who fills the drilled wholes came and started working on my teeth. I didn't know what she was doing because the most she said to me was you need to start flossing better. I notices she was filling because I figured she was just trying to get the rough edges from where it was drilled. I couldn't feel anything so I didn't know any better. When she was done she said she took the liberty of filling in a small practically unnoticeable chip because it bothered her. Never bothered me mind you. I was thankful for the gesture though I didnt no I had a chip anyways, she told me not to tell and also told me that the filling might not hold. She however did not tell me that if the filling didn't hold it would be larger and sharp. My filling fell out today a week later, I don't have dental insurance and paid out of pocket for my cavities and I am not sure what to do but I need my tooth fixed. Any advice? For the record I would have told her no if she had asked to fix my tooth because if I didn't notice it is not a big deal...

Yeah, but the tricky thing is getting them to admit that it was their fault. Good luck with that!

I just found out I have to get a tooth pulled by an oral surgeon. Anyone know how much this would cost?

Yesterday, my dentist told me that one of my back molars will have to be pulled by an oral surgeon. She gave me a couple of referrals, but before I make the calls, can anyone out there tell me an approximate cost? I do not yet know if it can be done with a local or general anesthetic, and I (sadly) do not have dental insurance.

Is Nadya Suleman AKA "OCTOMOM" is going to make a porno?

http://news.bostonherald.com/track/star_… I'm curious if she uses Yahoo Answers, Answer me Nadya if you do Vivid and Nadya Suleman to make – a porno??? By Inside Track Thursday, February 26, 2009 - Updated 18h ago EmailE-mail PrintablePrintable Comments(20) Comments LargerSmallerText size ShareShare Rate(0) Rate Today's installment of the "Adventures of Octomom" has Nadya Suleman being offered $1 million and free medical and dental insurance for her and her brood - if she stars in multiple porn videos. Vivid Entertainment, the world's largest peddler of adult flicks, has just fired off a letter to the serial mom asking her to consider becoming a contract "Vivid Girl" (like Jenna Jameson) and starring in a few X-rated flicks, TMZ.com reports. Who knew stretch marks - after a whopping 14 kids - were sexy? A Quick Way to Raise Your Credit Score The Secret to Getting Highly Discounted Cruise Tickets How to Destroy Acne Without Destroying Your Skin In other news, Nadya told TV shrink Dr. Phil McGraw that she's worried that the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in California won't release her eight newborn babies to her. (See first "Octomom" installment, above) "If you don't have a plan in place you need to say so, so we can help . . . People need to know you get it," Dr. Phil said at one point during an interview with Suleman during yesterday's show. "I think I'll fully get it when they are ready to come home," she responded. Later, Dr. Phil told the Los Angeles Times: "What she is telling me is that unless and until she has a better living arrangement, that they are not likely to release the children to her." And this is a bad thing? Suleman, 33, a single mother who already had six children before giving birth to octuplets Jan. 26, lives in Southern California with her mother in a three-bedroom house that is slated to be auctioned off next week. The mother owes more than $23,000 in back payments, a source told US Weekly .

She needs medication, and to have all those kids removed from her custody. The woman is a looney tune. I couldn't imagine WHAT kind of porno she could possibly star in. She looks like Angelina Jolie on meth, but minus every ounce of sex appeal.

Abcessed tooth while Pregnant?

I've had a troublesome wisdom tooth for quite some time now. Eventually it broke off and is now decaying. Or should I say, all the way decayed. Gross I know :/ I didn't previously have dental insurance and it cost too much to treat. Now the tooth is pretty much all the way gone but my whole mouth is KILLING me. and it's very sensitive to touch. Also, there's a nasty taste I get in my mouth, and food gets stuck back there all the time. It's so disgusting. I am now 6 weeks pregnant, is there anything I can do?! Or did I wait to long? Are these, in fact, symptoms of an abcessed tooth? If so, what needs to be done since the tooth is already gone?!
--------------------
Call your dentsit ASAP, first treatment is antibiotics for the infection then the tooth will need to be removed. Only your dentist can assess exactly what needs to be done and when.
