mmmm i have one but my mom wont take me to the dentist until late this month So how long does it take for one to become fatal or become so intense that you need to remove your tooth? I know I have one becasue I match all of the symptom except for pus. I brush two times a day and I never drink pop or orange juice because they have too much acid and my teeth are WEAK! Its the beginning of May so I have about 31 days. Is there anything I can do here at home until I can get to the dentist? My abcess or whatever is starting to reach down my top lip to the outside a little. HELP!

Erin and Michelle-
Visit a dentist immediately. The problems will only get worst. If payment is a problem, speak with your counselors, or someone in your local city or county clinic, and perhaps they can give you some direction, that is, were can get low cost or free treatment and care. Don’t forget to check online for local help. Good luck to you both.

hi i too am on methadone and hadn’t even had a cavity for the first 17 years of my life. i have been on continuous for about a year and a half. i have had 2 extractions(abcessed)and have lost another 4 as well as several partial.They break more everyday. All websites say no connection but I can’t see how it can’t be related. I am in horrible pain all the time!

This picture can definitely make people think about taking more care of their dental health. Prevention is very important and your dentist can help you with it.

If you have a broken tooth or tooth fracture, contact the emergency dentist as soon as possible. If the tooth is knocked out, place it in a glass of milk, call our office, and there is a good chance some dentist can re-implant it. Try not to touch the root portion of the tooth, I had some prob similar either I contacted Sydney Dentist
