When I was younger i just didn't care and didn't start doing a better job of brushing and taking care until about 8 years ago. pretty much all my molars have cavity's, a few down to the root, a few teeth with exposed nerves, my gums are pretty...

    Chipped wisdom tooth

    You may or may not know me as the guy who has had several dental problems recently, but mostly they've cleared up. My first issue was that I had felt pain radiating across the right side of my jaw, with no explanation. I've since put that down to TMJ, got stronger painkillers from the local...

    Dull sensatioin in single tooth

    I can't be the first person to admit I don't clean my teeth as often as I should. It's not a good thing or anything to be proud of, but I'm pretty sure not even qualified dentists take every precaution they advise their patients on taking. The reason I'm saying this is because very recently I...
