You can buy temporary cement at any store in the dental section or if you know someone who wears dentures..denture adhesive will work too. Good Luck!

Yup. They're called disclosing tablets. Ask your dentist if he has any... he may, and if so, he'll probably just give them to you.\nI have more than I know what to do with...\n\n\n**********************************************************\nTo Nebula D\n\nThis person didn't ask anything more than what they're called. I assume, since this person knows about them, that they have received OHI. And, since I'm not looking in their mouth, I can't really tell where they need to improve. But, thanks for telling them to brush and floss. I'm sure they had no idea.\nPLEASE find someone else to pick on and leave me alone.\nPS: Plax isn't a fluoride rinse. Sorry that a hygienist had to point that one out to you...

Yes, you would be amazed at the technology.  I had most of one of my front teeth knocked out.  My dentist did a repair, not replacement, and the last one he did has lasted a decade.  I eat everything I always have.

I have been a cosmetic dentist for 22 years now (time sure flies). We have tried just about ALL of the quick, in-office, expensive systems that are available. In the short term, they may amaze you. In the long term (days to weeks afterward), you most likely will be disappointed because your teeth will revert to their original shade. Every dentist and sales representative (who doesn't have a vested interest) I know has the same opinion.\n\nSome parameters you need to be aware of:\n1. Crest Whitening Strips may work okay for you, but they are relatively weak, do not whiten all of your teeth, and may leave a line where the strip doesn't cover the entire tooth. It's inexpensive, and we have had patients who were pleased with the result (until they saw what we are capable of doing).\n\n2. The 1 hour in-office systems marketed have a greater chance of success on those people in the range of 18-25 years old. The teeth are more amenable to accept the whitening gel. Just after the treatment, everyone's teeth are whiter. Not just due to the whitening agent, but mostly due to the dehydration from having your mouth open, and under a hot lamp (not a laser) for so long. Again, a disqualifier: We have had one very successful, long lasting Zoom treatment on a 62 year old. I have discontinued using our "Zoom 2" system because I am very disappointed in the results.\n\n3. Your best results will be from a professional system through a dental office. There are different systems available. You can try the in-office systems if you're under 25 or so, but in my office I wouldn't even offer it to you (remember, I don't use it any longer) because I cannot guarantee long term results for the kind of expense involved.\n\n4. A basic whitening system involves taking a mold of your teeth, then pouring plaster into the mold. This plaster model of your teeth will be used to form a soft plastic horseshoe-shaped covering over your teeth, which is the whitening tray. You place a small amount of whitening gel into the tray, place the tray onto your teeth every day (from 1-8 hours, depending the the gel) for 7-14 days, and VOILA, whiter teeth. Here's my but (not that one): the accuracy of the mold and the technique of making the tray have a major impact on how well the tray seals against your teeth and if the whitening gel stays in place, or if your saliva gets into it and dilutes the whitening gel, which results in less effect.\n\n5. Have your teeth cleaned before any whitening procedure. This gives the technique the best chance for success.\n\n6. The success of the whitening depends on you. Your hygiene must be impeccable, including brushing and flossing twice a day (as is best anyway). If you choose to be sloppy with the way you clean your teeth, the plaque (bacteria) that develops on your teeth daily will insulate your teeth and lessen the effect of the whitening gel. Hygiene has a lot to do with your overall health, but this is an entirely different subject.\n\n7. A lot of people (myself included) develop very sensitive teeth during the whitening process (including the 1 hour in-office systems). With a standard system as described above, we used to tell people to stop wearing the tray for a few days, then wear it again, then stop, until they reached the peak whitening (7-10 whitening days usually). The sensitivity will subside, and there is no permanent damage.\n\n8. During the whitening process, your teeth will pick up stains easier, so no red wine, no smoking, no coffee, no dark soft drinks, no soy sauce, etc. Common sense items. After your teeth are white, it's okay to use them again.\n\n9. There is a proprietary system that we now use, which was developed by a dentist in Southern California. It is not advertised or marketed very heavily, but works fantastic for all ages, all levels of staining, has little if any sensitivity (I was the guinea pig and almost no sensitivity for 16 days straight). It really gets yo

Load of crap!!! And we sell them!!\nBetter invest in a Sonicare or Oral-B Sonic brush!!\nIt never fails to surprise me what drivel some "hygienists" say on this website. It's no wonder Nebula D was derogatory towards them. I'll not bother except I'll say that it's scientifically proven that a sonic-type toothbrush will clean somewhat in the interdental spaces whereas a rotary one will not - which is after all the area most likely affected by periodontal disease.

We have a material that was designed to be used for "jungle type settings" its sticky, hardens quickly, works in a moist environement, and releases flouride.  unfortunately the designers and chemists made it too good and the general dentist started using it, so much so, that they increased the price  20 fold.  to make up for the losses from the drop in sales of their standard filling material.   Sad isn't it.\n\nIt's called Fuji IX and its expensive.  Since it is so cheap to make and produce,  you may consider calling the manufactuer, tell them about your project, they may well donate some to you.  But if you are going to a place without services, Definitely fuji IX is what you'd want to work with.

Get laminates.  They are thin very strong and cheaper than fillings or crowns, and the results are spectacular!

Unfortunately the porcelin crowns take a lot of extra work to make so cost much more.  The metal ones are fine, I have one despite initial reservations about it.  I dont think you will find a dentsist that does it within the £189!

Try looking on Dentaltown.com or try the Academy of Periodontology.  Dentaltown.com is going to be down for a few days as they are upgrading the site.  I believe the new site will be Docere.com, but you should still be able to find the site at the old address of Dentaltown.com.if this does not work type in Howard Farren, founder of dental town on your search engine.  If you have not been surfing on dentaltown you have missed out.  They have whole sections on endo, implants, perio, hygiene, assistants, new business dental, etc.  They have a ton of case presentations that many dentists show, and you can go to the forum section and read the threads and ask questions.  It is great.

had a fall as a kid and broke my front incisor. It turned black as the nerve went dead and later on as a teenager had a root canal done and got a crown fixed. The first crown lasted me for 5 years. Had to get it removed coz the root canal had to be redone. the crown I got fixed after that has a metal on the back side and enamel only on the front. That has lasted me for the last 15 years without any hassles. I do have to get it redone now because the enamel has turned yellow with the passage of time.\n\nGo for crowns if you really want to. A suggestion though: \n\nCheck out the link I have given, maybe some other  procedure could be more beneficial for you than a crown.\n\ngood luck

Go to the dermantoligist. They have machines that can just zap them away. This may sound perfect but there is a downside it hurts and its very expensive.

I don't know if the "restoring" part of Act does any good or not.\n\nBut it is the mouthwash my dentist recommends. It's a good flouride treatment, especially for those of us who grew up before flouridated water was common.

Crest night effects works good.  You can get it at Walmart for 12-15 dollars.  I just quit smoking a month ago and have been using it.
