Can Orbit Gum Cause Cavities?
484935
No, Orbit gum will not cause cavities.  Orbit is sugarfree and it contains xylitol.  Xylitol is a sugar substitue that has been shown to damage the bacteria that cause cavities so the bacteria cannot create acid.  When you can't brush, Orbit and other gums with xylitol can actually help prevent caviites.  But it should not be substituted for regualar brushing and flossing.

hmm...that's weird. that only happens to me if I eat food that is too hot before it cools down some. but, sometimes the insides of my gums get a slimy coating, and I discovered that was from using a toothpaste that was too strong. I use crest multi care cool mint and the problem has gone away. maybe you should try to use a sensative toothpaste or google your symptoms

seems like you have got infection in the periapical area of the tooth(i.e the area which surrounds the end of the root) which has spread to the bone and has resulted in bone loss which may be replaced by the granulomatous tissue (the infected tissue). this often results in the change in perception of the tissue and inflammation of the soft tissues of the oral cavity, thus leading to odd sensation. furthermore, the area you are describing i.e the palatal area doesn't contain much of muscle as the skin is attached directly to the periosteum (outer covering of the bone). thus any pus or oedema in that area is quite painful. the best treatment or it is drainage of pus. it can be done either way i.e either from making the hole in the tooth or else surgically. the root canal therapy will just make a passage for the drainage of the pus from the tooth so that all the infected pus and other tissues is removed later it can be filled so that any further infection isn't caused. but sometimes the amount of pus or the lesion is so big that it can't be removed by RCT. then we need to open up that area and treat it surgically. the exact treatment plan can be chalked out only after examination. so i advise you to consult a gud endodontologist who will be able to relieve ur pain and return the tooth to it's functional state.

if u r a heavy drinker or u used to take some kind of medicines or may be drugs ..all this will effect &decrease your response to local anasthesia...in the other hand may be ur dentist didn't give you enough anas. or didn't inject it exactly where it should be inject.(((all the above reasons are normal and common but not in your case)))...in your case you didn't trust your dentist you were affraid of drilling and injecting a foriegn solution in your mouth tissues ((believe me that the main common cause of what you suffered from)) ...psychological cause very common in the first dental procedure in the life and in some cases it remain with the person all his life .....the other issue ((a bigger cavity)) that's normal cause the dentist have to clean tooth cavity from dead and decayed tooth tissues and food  debris accomulated in the cavity and apart of the healthy tooth tissue to make sure that the decay will not return back eatin the rest of your tooth because any micro  soft caries spot if left will reactivate itself after dressing the permenant filling ........and it's good for you when she didn't filled ur tooth with a permenant metal filling material ...it will be very painfull for you in the first 3-7 days.(((good luck....by the way i'm a dentist)))

Cavity. That's the word no one wants to hear at the dentist's office. A cavity (say: kah-vuh-tee) develops when a tooth decays (say: dih-kaze), or breaks down. A cavity is a hole that can grow bigger and deeper over time. Cavities are also called dental caries (say: kar-eez), and if you have a cavity, it's important to get it repaired.\n\nBut why would your tooth develop a hole? Blame plaque. That's a sticky, slimy substance made up mostly of the germs that cause tooth decay. The bacteria in your mouth make acids so when plaque clings to your teeth, the acids can eat away at the outermost layer of the tooth, called the enamel (say: ih-nah-mul). \n\nIf you don't go to the dentist, the acids can continue to make their way through the enamel, and the inside parts of your tooth can begin to decay. If you've ever had a toothache or heard an adult complain about one, it may have been because there was a cavity that reached all the way inside a tooth, where the nerve endings are. Ouch!\n\nYour dentist will carefully examine your teeth and may take X-rays. If your dentist discovers a cavity, he or she can repair it for you by first removing the rotted part of your tooth with a special drill. The dentist then fills the hole in your tooth with a special material. It's called a filling. \n\nDoes it hurt? Sometimes it does, but your dentist can give you an anesthestic. That's a kind of medicine that will numb the area around the problem tooth while you're getting your new filling.

Beer will not cause gum recession.\n\nRecession of the gum can be related to the positon of the tooth in the jaw.  If the tooth or teeth are positioned out a little bit, then there is less bone covering on the cheek or lip side.  If there is less bone, then there is less gum to cover it.\n\nSome orthodontic techniques involve pushing the teeth out to obtain more room and may result in increased recession.  It's insignificant, however, and will not increase the risk of tooth loss.

I am unsure about the cracking but it can cause holes to form in the teeth if they are not properly cared for!  that means floss and brush after every meal.  Plus you are paying for the great smile you will have afterwards, so you need to take care of them.  I would call your ortho immediately if you think there is a problem.  I just asked and they said that the bracket itself will come off before it harms the tooth.  So you must have something stuck or it was there before, but the braces itself will not hurt the teeth unless you are not properly taking care of them!  BRUSH AND FLOSS!  And keep smiling because it is all worth it!

Cavities can happen on ANY tooth and that's why dentist are highly trained to handle filling them to stop the cavity from doing more damage.\n\nWhen you get "plaque" on your teeth, what you are getting is a "film of bacteria." These bacteria stick to your teeth, and one of the things they do is create acid as a by-product of their metabolism. The acid can eat through the enamel of the tooth and cause a cavity -- a hole through the enamel. \n\nThere are three parts to a tooth: \n\nThe outer, very hard enamel \nThe inner, much softer dentin (Dentin is like ivory.) \nThe core pulp, consisting of nerves and blood vessels \nOnce the acid breaks through the enamel, bacteria invade the dentin and can eat through it fairly quickly. If they make it to the pulp, that is when you get a tooth infection and need a root canal. \n\nWhen a dentist drills a tooth, what he or she is doing is shaping an opening. The first reason to do this is to ensure that all of the rot in the dentin is completely removed. \n\nThe second reason is to create a shape to which the filling (either silver/mercury amalgam or plastic) can bond and fill completely.

Happened to a friend. Your teeth develop hairine cracks running vertically. As you continue to chew ice the cracks expand exposing nerves and causing pain. In time you will need                  crowns. It takes several years for that though.

HI,\nPERIODONTAL DISEASE CAN BE DETECTED BY DOING GUM MEASUREMENTS. YOUR DENTIST HAS TO TAKE AN X-RAY OF THE AREA THAT IS CAUSING YOU PAIN.  IF HE DID NOT, HE JUST LOOKED AND SENT YOU ON YOUR WAY, THAT WAS BAD DENTAL CARE!!!  FIND YOURSELF A DIFFERENT DENTIST.  YOU COULD HAVE A FRACTURED TOOTH, TOOTH DECAY IN BETWEEN TEETH... PROBLEMS THAT NEED AND X-RAY.  GOOD LUCK

First Sugar-Free or Not there are acids in all types of foods and none are good for your enamel, the outer covering of your tooth, and could cause decay. Second you breathe in and out more deeply when you are sleeping and the chances that you could choke are even greater than when you are awake, and I know I have come close to choking when I was awake. Please don't do this anymore for your own safety.

The dentist should have your medical history and give you the paper that tells you the precautions.  Nitrous oxide affects people in different ways.  I had it once and I hated it!  The whole time I was in the chair it felt like a was spinning a thousand miles an hour in that chair.  Couldn't wait til it was over with!
