Using appropriate nerve blocks and pain meds to go home with your cat is the solution. It's much better to not have a tooth than have a painful tooth. The jaw strength is immense and provided it's done well/right - your cat - even if all teeth had to be removed, would still be able to eat hard food without pain. That's much better than where we are now.

Poor dental hygiene, excessive consumption of tea, coffee, excessive fluoride, use of some medications all can cause such stains on the teeth. Tooth decay is another possibility. Get it examined by a dentist. Early diagnosis and treatment will help. Do keep me posted. Best luck and take care!

I posted links to pics of my teeth. Do I have tooth decay. If not what problems do I have just by looking at the picture?

I have a front tooth pictured at http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/4391/toothyumq1.jpg Last night I noticed there is a divot in the enamel in my front tooth. I had my teeth cleaned and checked 6 months ago and everything was fine. Now I either have a cavity or a chip in the tooth. A few questions 1. Can a cavity develop on a front tooth in 5 months (had a cleaning and checkup 5 months ago--no problems).

I am 37, relatively fit and well exercised but I am besides myself with worry and fear the dentist and doctor so much I see now way out. I have a mouth full of decayed teeth many just having the root left. Over the last 8 months I have experienced a weird sensation in my throat. Not sore or painful just as if its not right. This comes and goes sometimes months apart.

At times it is difficult for the patient to understand what the dentist has to do to accomplish the restoration of a broken down tooth. There may be a significant amount of decay which doesn't allow the dentist much choice in how much tooth structure has to be removed. It is important that you have confidence in the doctor you are seeing. If not then get another opinion.

Tooth #30 appears to be hopeless. Seeing an oral surgeon is advised.

I am only 20 years old..im pretty worried now.. I have a badly decayed molar tooth (left side, 2nd molar) and finally got the courage to visit a dentist in years. he said it can't be saved and I should have it extracted by an oral surgeon right away. he never mentioned what is the plan after that. I'm worried that if it is removed right now then I will end up with implant as the only option to replace the missing tooth which is be very expensive and I can't afford right now.

It's not something I can scrape away. It appears to be under the gum, but not on the tooth. I know we should take her to the dentist, but I would like to hear from anyone who may be familiar with this. Could it be a bruise? Decay? Something worse? Thank you kindly. http://i54.tinypic.com/23j1yww.

In ideal conditions, veneers are also lifetime permanent as they do not remove the entire outer layer of your tooth, which strengthens the veneer and resists decay just like a normal tooth. With these procedures, make sure you get your dentist to show you before and after pictures. And with any implant procedure, an oral surgeon is usually better equipt to place the implant, the general dentist plans and restores it.

] The last bit is that Clinic A recommended I work on my left side first (with the visibly decayed tooth) to prevent further decay, while Clinic B recommended working on the right side, due to upper molar 7's (R) still functioning nerve (relief from/prevention of potential pain) [My upper left has lost function, it seems; I don't feel pain in that area] While I understand that my limited knowledge of the terminology and the admittedly shoddy description of the imaging prevents accurate visuali

As I had mentioned to you, find a highly qualified dentist, someone who can make the right determination, that they will not just jump in there and start drilling, but someone who can assess and figure out what is the right restoration and treatment plan for you, your tooth and they can look at the big picture and your whole mouth and person as opposed to a tooth walking into the office. Keep me posted as to the progress of the case. Sometimes even venting out helps!

I don't understand why the dentist won't attempt to put fillings in and the extremeness of pulling teeth. My daughter has not pain with the decay/cavities... I don't get it. Please help me understand!!!

, cosmetic he states and general dentistry, the primary dentist was on vacation I had the luck to get a fill in new dentist been at it a few months from what i was told, I had old permanent bridges on all 4 corners of my mouth with the underneath teeth decayed beyond repairs and other repairable decayed teeth around them, I was referred to a Oral Surgeon to have emergency removals because of infection "so they claimed" The following week I seen the oral surgeon and had everything re

The permanent teeth actually have a protective membrane that surrounds them before they come in. However once the tooth is erupted it is susceptible to decay. On a personal note I understand your frustration, my little girl hates to wiggle her teeth too. Her bottom teeth came in the same way and they are in great position now... in fact her only tooth that is not is a good position is the one that came out a little early when she bumped heads with our springer spaniel.

One of the teeth (19) had deep decay. No pain prior to procedure and no sensitivity to hot/cold. After the crown prep, had periodic pain in both so asked dentist to place crowns with temp cement in case root canal became necessary. Experienced severe galvanic shock. Removed temps and had root canals on both teeth. Continued to have severe pressure sensitivity on 19 and some on 18. Dentist insisted on placing perm crowns - different crown materials (about six weeks ago.

I dont know of other children who scream so much when getting there teeth brushed, can some peoples gums be extra sensitive?? Anyway, after a week of torturing the poor child with a tooth brush and seeing litres of blood go down the drain, he refused to eat and drink and cried non stop, I went back to the dentist who then booked me in for an immediate look in his mouth under general anaesthetic at the hospital.

And according to our dentist, as important as toothbrushing is, it is even more important to avoid passing the bacteria that leads to tooth decay. If you or someone else in your family has problems with decay, make sure you aren't sharing eating utensils as it is transmitted through saliva. He also told we can keep those boys teeth bulletproof, but once they start smooching in their teenage years, all bets are off. Anyway, make it a fun routine.

Went looking for something about my teeth, this is the third one that has done this, and did not find anything about thyroid disorders and what is called "dental caries" or rampant tooth decay. Did however learn that one of the causes of this is radiation to the head or neck. Hmmmmm..... How many of us have had something like that you think? Gee, great. Here's the web site if interested, but be warned it has pictures! :-( http://en.wikipedia.

I have a busy lifestyle and eat fairly well - or at least I thought I did until I started having all sorts of dental problems like decay, receeding gums and bone loss despite very good brushing and flossing habits (my father was a dentist so if nothing else, I do know how to brush). I tried an intensive ph building diet to reduce acidity (I ate tons of vegetables!) with no improvement - in fact I lost a tooth and my teeth had become so sensitive that I was taking painkillers before meals.

Pls don’t smoke tobacco or drink alcohol and brush and floss thoroughly and regularly to avoid a build up of plaque which leads to tooth decay. Hope it helped. Take care and do keep posting.

If I lift my upper lip there it is, right over my right front tooth. About the size of the 1st section of my thumb altogether when I put two fingers on it to try and determine its size. I went to an ear nose and throat doctor. He wants to do an $1,000 MRI. My insurance will cover no part of it. I have a $1,000 deductible...

I'll post a few links to pictures for you. It is getting more and more worrysome for me. I'm 21.. No insurance or anything, unemployed due to health issues.. So it's hard to get dental care. I didn't start getting cavities till I was around 16 or so. Then it all went downhill. I believe I've always tried to take decent care of my teeth.. Here's the pictures: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/811/newreceding.jpg http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/5954/newreceding2.

I hope all is well with your son now. Had I read your post in March, I could have given you a first hand report of the same situation with my son. Same number of cavities, similar age, similar causes. I followed the advice to have my son`s molars fixed under full anaesthesia in the hospital. None had to be pulled but the drilling would have been completely unmanageable in our regular dentist office. It takes easily an hour or two.

There is a fill for everything, from blood pressure and cholesterol to headaches. If we break a tooth we just cover it or if one grinds we make them a nightguard, never asking the right question. Why things go to where they got?? Dr Price asked the right question. He set out on a journey that took him to several countries where he studied some fourteen different indigenous populations. From Africian tribes to Eskimos in Alaska, to Polynesian Islands and Swiss Alps.

Acute multifocal skin necrosis - pathologic death of skin cells Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis - eruption of small elevations of skin containing pus Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn - pathologic death of fat cells Cutaneous fibrosis - fibrous tissue formation in the skin Blackened hyperkeratotic palms (“crack hands”) - horny layer of the skin is blackened Chronic skin ulcers Scleroderma - disease where there is thickening of the skin caused by sw

Type 1 Diabetes, my thyroid died after I had my first son, there was a problem where my teeths were destroying themselves from the inside without decay. (I forgot what the dentist said this was called but I needed several root canals) About a year after that weird tooth thing, I got IBC (Inflammatory breast cancer) This has since spread to brain and liver. My question to you is: "Do you think that IBC could be considered an autoimmune disorder?

My 43 yr old husband recently began taking cholesterol and blood pressure medicine, and shortly afterwards, I noticed his breath smelled of moth balls. He has had no other complaints or symptoms and plans to consult with the doctor about it during his next visit. We don't know if it's related to his medication, but that was the only change he had made.
