I recently had to have one of my teeth taken out (the left incisor). The dentist that did the extraction is leery of a dental implant to replace the tooth because I have been taking Fosamax for a decade. As a temporary fix, I’ve been wearing a dental flipper, which is extremely annoying and leaves…
I’ve got pretty bad teeth. I am missing several of my back teeth, and now I have an infection or something in one of the only molars I have left. The swelling along my jaw looks terrible! It is really embarrassing. I don’t have a job right now, or any insurance. I am estranged from…
I’ve got a lot of dental work to get done. I have to get at least four root canal treatments, and I need to have a couple of teeth ground down as TMJ treatment. I also may need to have a dental bridge placed, though my dentist is still considering the best course of action…

I’ve been trying to lead a more healthy lifestyle, and a lot of the holistic magazines I read now mention removal of silver (mercury) fillings as part of reducing your…
I’ve had a lot of problems with my teeth. I am missing most of the teeth in the rear of my mouth, and now I have an infection that is really painful. It looks like I have a golf ball stuck in my cheek! I am out of work right now, and don’t have any…
I don’t have any dental insurance, or medical insurance either. I am writing to ask about a problem I am having, so I don’t waste my very limited resources in going to see the wrong professional. Here is what has happened: Last week I broke one of my molars. It is the very back molar…
