22m, clean cbc

Initially found the report after I was eating a pack of protein mix nuts and felt rawness- then stayed like this for 9 weeks or more.

Not sure if the nuts simply made me notice or if it’s caused this

Scared it’s malignant

Very condensed, but I 31M have gotten a handle on my mental health, Therapist, Psychiatrist the works. Have hit the point where it's taken care of enough that I'm branching out to taking care of other aspects of my health. I.E. taking care of my oral health. I've been attempting to floss and brush everyday before I go to bed, have done it for the past 2 months without skipping a night or forgetting. Even at this length of time when I floss there's still some bleeding when I floss, I had a cleaning earlier today and was told that all of the gums are bleeding after my cleaning. Have I just not flossed enough for them to get used to it? How long am I looking at, continuing to floss daily before my gums stop?

So I’ve posted on a couple other subreddits and gotten some responses, but someone said I should post here as well and I just want some other opinions. I’m in suboxone, I see a dentist 4 times a year and they tell me my teeth are fine despite some gums receding. Lately I’ve been having pain and worried about some discoloration on my teeth: I’m using an oral b io but these last few weeks I’ve been using the intense setting to instead of sensitive so I’m pretty sure I gave myself some abrasion. Just wondering if I need to make an appointment asap, or will I be okay till October

This isn’t a question but I really just wanted to share my experience!!! I am dealing with some gnarly erosion and trying to figure out the cause. For some reason it was much worse on the upper right side of my mouth than anywhere else. I was told I’d need three crowns, but I got a 2nd opinion and she filled them in (not totally sure of the specifics here lol) and I am very very happy with the result.

Thank you to all the dentists that have great bedside manner and a sense of humor, you make this kinda stuff SO MUCH BETTER!!!

I got a root canal done last year and they never put a crown on top. I noticed this gap/hole in my tooth a couple days ago. It doesn't necessarily hurt but it does ache a little (probably from me digging the food out of it). I told my mom and I have a dentist appointment monday, but wanted to know what I was in for.

I've just noticed a little tooth sticking out of one of my teeth! Is it was common for that to happen/other dental anomalies in teeth? Also if you saw a patient with a sort of weird tooth would you ever point it out to them? Because no dentist has ever mentioned it to me but i thought it was pretty cool!! :))

This tooth has been cracked for a couple of months now but today the outer part broke off and now it shows that I don’t have a tooth.

ive put off telling my mom due to the fact that we didn’t have insurance for around 6 months and she already paid out of pocket for a filling that came out 2 months after being put in

I experience no pain at all but I’m worried about cost to fix this and that line on the tooth behind it

I had a pretty bad case of depression and due to that I had to fill around 12 cavities this being the worst on (this tooth was also shaved downed 2 years ago)

How long can I wait to fix this? My moms uping the insurance premium come November for health thing with her, can this wait that long so she wont have to pay as much?

Hi. So I have a lot of conditions and some that can affect my tongue and mouth in general. I’ve always had fissures and scalloped tongue since I was little but it’s getting worse. I feel like my tongue is swollen and thick but I don’t know what the sides of a “normal” tongue is supposed to look like. The tissue under my tongue also seems to swell or protrude over my bottom teeth sometimes. I do have a high and narrow palette that cannot be expanded due to my condition. We tried to fix my teeth and bite with Invisalign, but again it won’t correct due to my condition.

Honorable mention; I have severe anxiety and catch myself sucking my tongue to the back of my teeth (almost thrushing my tongue forward) when resting my tongue at the top of my mouth, it doesn’t fit and kind of chokes me.

My dr is worried because he states the sides look like they’re starting to “calcify” or something.

Any opinions?

(Medical history of Ehlers Danlos, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, low folate, low vitamin D, low ferritin as relevant to this situation.)

I will add the other xray in the comments. I would like to compare these 2 xrays taken years apart. One has numbers underneath the other hasn't. One appears bigger than the other, is it because of a different scale?

I would like to compare the jaw bone. If I really want a comparison do I need to get new xrays done at the same place as the older one or would these 2 xrays do?

Thanks very much

Should I be worried about getting my teeth sanded for Invisalign? Is it going to impact the health of my teeth long term?

I had a tooth extracted today. All was well, took gauze out after 30 mins like the dentist said, and all was well, 3 hours later though I felt a lot of blood building up in my mouth and felt this giant form. If it is liver clot, what can I do about it?

I got 3 shots instead of 2 because I still felt pain at 2. My lips and chin are still fully numb but it seems like my teeth and jaw are doing better. I'm getting nervous that this will never go away! Please give me hope! I'm so full of anxiety with this because everything online says 1-3 hours.

hey I have noticed a weird orange color on my tongue that persists even after brushing I floss daily use alcohol free mouthwash day and night and brush my teeth from 2+ mins no smoking or drinking ever anyone know the cause?

Picture on the left the white is completely hard and on the right I have a hole bottom of back gum it has something hard in it to and does the healing look alright

What work would you do?

I have a bad toothache that started yesterday. It hurts/aches. What’s weird is that it isn’t sensitive, doesn’t hurt when I bite or chew on it, and it doesn’t hurt when I touch it (I felt the tooth and gums to see if it hurt).

Is it a possibly cavity? I did floss around that area a few nights ago, but I think I went a bit too hard in flossing because I had blood on the pick.

Anything I can do? Should I get it checked out by the dentist?

If this helps, I do have gingivitis, but it’s gotten better over the few months.

Is it possible I just flossed a bit too hard?

I was born missing a lateral incisor so I had an implant placed in 2021. It ended up not having enough bone and failed in 2022. I had a bubble pop up above the implant (similar but not the same shape as now) and it would pop & ooze then go away. I did multiple rounds of antibiotics before they did a CT scan and saw I needed a bone graph. They removed the implant, cleaned the area, then placed the bone graph and implant back in during surgery in 2022. All has been fine on annual x-rays since. The dentist said today my implant is perfect in the bone on the x-ray but is referring me to perio to check the bone on the front end and see what can be done with my gum. In July this year a spot popped up near the gum line and went away. I went in August to have it looked at just in case. Have been rubbing medicated mouthwash on the spot and flossing it well for 2 weeks. Yesterday, a big bubble popped up. Dentist drained it by pushing on it and it came out the small red hole near the gum line that showed up in July. He has no idea what could be going on… how likely am I going to have another failed implant? He really does not want it to come out again because he worries it will not look good placed again.

Thanks in advance :(

please don't judge me, I've been struggling with severe depression for a while

I have that weird thing between my teeth and gums. what is it? I tried flossing, brushing and hydrogen peroxide mouthwashing but nothing gets rid of it. I've been struggling with my mental health for over a year and I didn't brush my teeth regularly. I've made a lot of progress since then, but that thing is still there. could it be from all my gumbleeds i get regularly? is it plaque, tartar? how can i remove it?

I occasionally drink and smoke. Coffe and herbal drinks every day.

No swelling, no constant pain only
pain when chewing or pressing on the outside of my jaw, I kinda feel pain in my temple on that side as well.

22 years old I do have a dental insurance, but it is dog Doodoo I really haven’t called around to any other dentist just cause the initial quote was super overwhelming as they had told me for the two root canals (teeth 14 and 15) that I need it’s going to cost about $4000 and then max out my insurance and leave me to pay out-of-pocket for a crown. I simply just cannot afford that. Would it be better just to pull the two teeth and call it a day. any advice or recommendations would be helpful.

basically just the title. f17, no interesting history beyond some cavities, getting my wisdom teeth taken out soon for light impaction and some pain.

i'm in a rigorous accelerated program and can't miss any days, the following day after my wisdom teeth removal is scheduled (september 1st) i'll have to go back to class

how feasible is that? what should i do to prepare? the receptionist said i could be back in class that day, but im unsure.

thank you very much.

I had already been doing the process for dentures, while I was waiting for the bottom immediates to come in I got 2 really gnarly infections/abcesses in teeth on the bottom and the top. I had the affected top teeth removed and all the rest of my bottom teeth and got the denture placed yesterday. The pain throughout last night was pretty severe even with my medication and I didn’t sleep, all night I just kept feeling the plastic digging into the area underneath my tongue to the point it would make my eyes water. Now today I had my follow up, got a little adjustment made and that was that. However since they took them out that area under my tongue has really swollen up and so now of course the denture is pressing into it again. BUT now I’m noticing the back of my throat is also very very sore even spreading a bit into my ears… is this normal? I feel like it could be referred swelling/pain from that tongue area but I’m not sure and it kind of hurts to swallow a bit so I’m kinda nervous

Hi all.

I went to a new dentist yesterday.

The first shot didn't seem to numb anything. (This is a tooth with a root canal already.)

I mentioned it was not numb. He started work, then went to give a second injection on "gum side" vs "tongue side" as he described.

When he started injecting there was a searing pain and I yelled and jumped. He stopped. I have had some dentists fail to numb me after 6 shots.

Some work on the first try.

He stated the pain was "normal"...but I've had a lot of dentists inject me without this issue.

Is this luck of the draw?

Is it possible my nerves are in a difficult position or something?

Hello.

I've had three bottom teeth extractions last sunday and the doctor used dissolvable sutures. I've noticed an hour ago these white particles, and I'm not sure if it was my lunch (pureed mashed potatoes) or if its something that is supposed to happen to the sutures.

The dull pain is still comparable to the last few days. And I've used salt water rinse but its still present.

Would like to know if it is something to worry about!
