In reply to the discussion: Would you go to the dentist in this case? [View all]Niagara
(11,917 posts)26. SO recently lost an entire crown in the upper front.
We live in NYS too.
SO had a regular dental appointment scheduled back in March right before he lost the crown and they cancelled that appointment. At the moment it's not painful so he's just going to deal with it.
Unless it's painful, I would stay home. If it's a painful, I would call the dentist and let them know.
I only had 3 wisdom teeth that came in and I had to have both bottom wisdom teeth pulled at 21 years old as I could wiggle them with my tongue. When the dentist pulled them, he decided to gross me out and showed me one of them. I asked him if I had a gum disease and he told me that my wisdom teeth only had short roots, thankfully no gum disease.
Good luck, LC!

I wet the brush and dip it the baking soda so that it covers the ends of the bristles.

y dentist recommended hydrogen peroxide for stains. It won't whiten but is good with stains.
