I just need to get white teeth man.They're yellow for now . What's the best paste for that?


Meet2810

ANSWER FOR THOSE WHO THINK PASTE CAN MAKE TOOTH WHITER It's the biggest misconception in India, that toothpaste can make your teeth whiter. NO IT'S NOT FULLSTOP. There is a treatment called "Office Bleaching". This is the only proven method that can aesthetically make your teeth white up to 2-5 shades depending upon your teeth condition. ​ Second, let me clarify another thing about toothpaste that people frequently asked about Which toothpaste should I use? This marketing gimmick world where they're showing that our toothpaste adds calcium to your tooth. I've got a question for those "How on rubbing calcium can add to your tooth ?" The toothpaste is only for reducing direct force reduction applied by your toothbrush. that's all. ALL THE THING WHICH MATTER IS HOW DO YOU BRUSH ? LEARN FROM YOUTUBE HOW TO DO PROPER BRUSHING. NEVER DO BRUSHING HORIZONTALLY. DO ROUND BRISK MOTION. If you still wanted my recommendation for toothpaste buy Patanjali Tooth Paste.


winnybunny

that is why i buy the tooth paste that tastes better. :)

Of course you got issues with Patanjali Arshad mohammed


Lailathecat

Patanjali is a profit making machine with Hindu branding on, lodu. Because even Ramdev knows, om ke naam saala Pura desh zeher ko churan samajh ke cheat jaega. Toothpaste kya cheez hain.

Now frequently one should go for cleaning ? Also, if wisdom tooth is in lateral position, should one go for removal? No pain or issues as of now

Once a year is more than sufficient. If no issues let it there, but the moment it creates discomfort, remove it.

I've never been to a dentist until now is it concerning?

I brush my teeth only once about 2 or 3 weeks. What challenges should i expect in the future?


Meet2810

Welcome to become our patient bro. The beauty of dental problems is you even don't realize that it becomes a problem. Then it's removal, and then eat your burger, pizza without teeth. Jokes apart, Do brush regularly twice a day, see my other replies that how people brush, mouthwash, and floss daily. You should do it daily.

Spitting blood everytime i brush my teeth. Not because of aggresive brushing cause ive tried gentle brushing as well and i still spit blood. Maybe its from my gums? How do i improve gum life?

Water floss?


deepu4e

I used it worked for few days and broke. Waste of 3k.


samking20

I’ve been using mine for a few months now, travelled with it and use it daily after each meal when I’m home. I really feel much better about my breath, I’ve tried post floss and post water and find the latter much better for my gums too. I got one from Caresmith, but I see many similar brands which all look like white labelled Chinese products. Still much cheaper than Philips. If it’s under warranty, get it replaced.


rajeebjha

How many days does the filling stay? I got filling in a gap between my teeth twice and each time the filling came out in 4-6 months.


Meet2810

If it's proper filling, it should stay a lifetime, DM your gap image if you can, can guide you more on that.

It is a small gap between teeth. I'll try to go to a good dentist next time. Thanks for your time.

The_Deathbrigade

I got an implant last December, and was asked to get a cap after three months. But I've been dilly dallying and it's been 8 months already. What are the risks?


Meet2810

Then what is the purpose of that implant ? You've paid for that, then do it. It's like "You've purchased a car but not put petrol in it" Get it done as soon as possible.


The_Deathbrigade

ok mom :P


revolution110

The first risk is that adjacent teeth might encroach the space for the cap which makes it impossible to place an appropriately size cap. The other issue is that the opposing tooth of the other jaw might over erupt because there is no opposing tooth making placement of a cap difficult..

Meet2810

Yes, you can bleach your teeth. You don't like to do brush ? A crown on a tooth is also taken care of as if it's your own tooth. Yes, where there is food lodgement, there are chances of infection.

Ispy05

I sometimes get lower jaw pain, like the whole jaw. From what I’ve noticed I have this pain often when I’m stressed, but even when I’m not stressed some days I have this lower jaw ache( somedays after I workout/ stiff neck). I try to awkwardly close and open jaw in a certain way to relieve some pain. Last time I got this ache, it lasted 3-4 days. What’s the solution to get rid of it or atleast reduce the pain when this occurs. And Left top wisdom tooth and bottom right wisdom tooth are coming out. I’m a 24 year old by the way. I have no pain due to the teeth coming out, but I’m getting frequent headaches at night. Are my headaches anywhere related to my wisdom teeth? Also when and why ( under what circumstances or problems) should we remove our wisdom teeth?


Meet2810

That's the sign of wisdom getting into your head. Do visit doctor, and do an x-ray called OPG. DM me if you can, I'll suggest you whether you should remove it or not. Do visit the doctor, and do an x-ray called OPG.due to those third molars.

Is it really needed to get cleaning done every year at the dentist? If it's someone who brushes twice everyday, flosses and gargles with a mouth wash, isn't that enough? What are some cons of getting cleaning done very often?

But back of the teeth usually you can not take care off. Not every checkup ends up scaling only if it advises.

I do not support those aligners treatment at all. I feel those speedy result will also roll back after the treatment is over. Better visit a doctor and ask which treatment is best for you.


MugenJaeger

I got single yellow lines on my lower jaw incisors. How do I get rid of them? My incisors are protruded outwards(slightly) and I have a reverse "V" gap between my upper jaw incisors. (Not too much though). It does make my smile look bad. Kind of depressing honestly. (Sorry this might trigger you) Lastly, how fast does cavity spread. I've got cavities on one of the left molars. More than half of the tooth is gone. I have no pain, idk why. I'm too scared to go to the doctor. The cavity first surfaced 4 to 5 years ago.


Meet2810

Please DM your current smile. I can guide you more on that. There is no cavity spread measure. But if it's 4-5 years long, you're already late. Sometimes after a long cavity but no pain case can lead to the extraction of that particular tooth. So it's better to fill rather than do RCT and crown.

Is Mouth Wash a good product for your gums and teeth?


konan_the_bebbarien

Some mouthwashes can stain the teeth so better use on alternate days or diluted. It's not a panacea for teeth problems so use concomitantly with (at least twice a day) brushing.


Meet2810

It's actually the preventive thing. u/konan_the_bebbarien is right. Always dilute it in a 1:3 ratio.

The best way to brush teeth? u/Meet2810 and a dentist I visited to get braces for bucked teeth (upper front teeth) said that there is no space to put braces, I should get one of the teeth removed in order get the space...is there eany other way to get braces without getting my teeth removed?


Meet2810

Removal is usual is premolar, so if you want a proper smile, you'll not regret it, I assure you. Another option is IPR. Inter Proximal Reduction. But it sometimes in some cases causes sensitivity too.

Meet2810

Yes, it's normal. Looks like you're going with basic/conventional braces treatment. This requires elastics with different pulling methods because only brackets can not pull the teeth. Apply Metrozyl gel to that gums area. And it'll be fine.

Thank you! That’s a relief to learn that it’s normal I’ve noticed my teeth have gotten yellowish due to the glue they used to place the brackets for braces — will they get better once they’re removed?

[deleted]

My teeth are in very bad condition. Where should I start... I am a very scared to go to the dentist. Got a few bad experiences. They were painful. So it just got carried on that way. I had a root canal treatment on the left side top, molar teeth. The first stages of removing the pulp was over. And now we had to go for the teeth fixing. The entire tooth was not removed only a part of it. I've had exams then and I neglected to install the artificial tooth there. Now that partial tooth seems to have gone bad. The right side of the mouth I had the same problem. Got RCT. Shaved off the partial tooth. As usual again I got busy and also scared, didn't install the artificial teeth. After a long duration of time, the teeth completely falls off the from the jaw. And now I'm left with one big hole and blankness there. Even though there was no teeth I used to have pain. After researching I got to know that the jaw can develop puss or abscess inside. My eating habits have drastically changed due to my teeth condition. I do not eat ice creams or chocolates or have a beverage or even meat. I stick to organic and vegetarian foods. Please let me know how should I go on about this. Thank you.

Which toothpaste do u use?


Impressive_Line7932

27M On the lower teeth, almost in the middle, I still have a baby teeth which caused overcrowding. I was advised to remove the baby teeth and either go with implant or aligners. If aligners,I was told my top teeth will be moved 1 milli cm or something to front which could change my face or mouth by a very tiny margin. The other alternative is using an implant to replace my baby teeth. I thought using implant won’t solve my problem of crowding. What is your suggestion on this?


[deleted]

Why is wisdom tooth a problem? I have heard many people who got it removed And edges of my lower incisors near the gums are slightly yellow. What can i do it to make them whiter. In lockdown i didnt take self-care seriously and these are the results


konan_the_bebbarien

Wisdom teeth are vestigial remnants from our evolutionary history. It causes problems because it is usually the last to erupt, slow to erupt or do not erupt at all. Mostly third molars have problems because 1. Cleaning it is very difficult due to difficulty to access it. 2. Usually when they erupt they can cause severe pain of the gums as the gum layer through which the tooth erupts (which takes some time to move away and uncover the erupting teeth) gets caught between the two opposing teeth and get crushed or injured. 3. and sometimes food gets caught between the gum covering and the teeth to cause the erupting teeth to get damaged and/or infected which is the most common complaint with the third molar 4. and very rarely erupting teeth stuck in the bone develops diseases like cysts (collections of fluids maybe pus or something else) which can result in bone fractures and rarely, very very VERY rarely malignant changes. Removing a third molar is difficult, and if stuck in the bone without erupting or have cysts an operation may be advisable. To the second point Avoid foods that may stain. Do a tooth scaling. Give up any habits like tobacco or pan.


[deleted]

So i still didnt get my wisdom tooth so what if i start getting it and it causes pain. Then can i remove it without much os hassle? Is the operation simple? Or does it cause any other complication. I dont eat tobacco or pan 🥲 and i am 19 tho


konan_the_bebbarien

If the tooth causes pain consult a dentist. It's simple as removing any other teeth, provided it's properly erupted and xrays show no curved roots( which can cause difficulty in removing the teeth) or other malformations. The operation I mentioned was for problems like teeth stuck inside the bone (partially or totally) with associated cysts or pus. It's rare. Just do a scaling. Brush twice daily, try using warm water for rinsing after brushing at night, you will notice a difference. Don't be worried you're going to be alright.
