r/Teeth

I have had a small raised area high on my gum for two weeks. It is completely painless, no pus, moveable. Feels solid. It’s difficult to get a photo of it, as it’s not hugely obvious. Any ideas of what it could be?

my problem apart from yellow teeth (which is not what I'm asking advice for) is that idk if my middle teeth are too long or the other teeth are short but when I bite I have this big gap between the other teeth apart from the middle ones

I vape and don't drink

8 Upper Full Composite Bonding

I’m obsessed - only regret is not doing this sooner😍

Only just noticed this now when eating something salty, what is happening here?

Small black spot and thin line at teeth base. It doesn’t hurt or feel sensitive when I poke with a toothpick but it’s also just not coming off. Also I don’t think I ever saw a cavity be a line instead of a spot

PLZ HELP!

hi there everyone, i’m new to reddit and i’ve come here specifically for advice on some teeth problems I’ve had lately.

i am 23. i have acid reflux, i vape, and i do not drink alcohol. I brush my teeth twice a day w sensodyne toothpaste, floss, and use mouthwash. i’ve been pretty serious about my teeth since i turned 20, but before that- as a teen, i dealt with serious depression & would go days/weeks without brushing. however, i never ever got cavities.

now, suddenly, within the last year, i have gotten FIVE cavities. two of those in the same tooth(my bottom back right molar) and they have filled it twice but the filling keeps breaking off. that will be the first image i attach. my dentist (I’ve been seeing them since i was 12) claims it “isn’t salvageable” and wants me to get it removed. ALONG WITH THIS.. they want me to get my bottom back LEFT molar removed because “it’s most likely going to do the same thing” even though they claim it doesn’t have a cavity at all! (the tooth is sensitive to sweets and has very obvious dark marks all along it.) they claim that fillings won’t hold on my back teeth because my mouth is just “too small.”

i am already missing my upper back right molar because when i got my wisdom teeth removed, the surgeon hit the root of my tooth and broke my tooth in half. (yes i got my money back lol) i really, really don’t want to be missing THREE of my molars!!! i do not want to commit to having two of my back teeth removed if they can be saved. why aren’t they recommending a root canal or a crown?

along with this- my back upper teeth, i also have a black line across & throughout them. these teeth aren’t sensitive, but they concern me. my dentist hasn’t said anything about it and denies it being a cavity, but i really think otherwise.

all in all, im confused on what to do, and im feeling really disappointed and depleted. i genuinely DO take care of my teeth, so what is causing all of the cavities? i barely eat sweets or soda and practice daily mouth hygiene. is it just my teen years catching up to me? im so scared of losing my teeth.

sorry, i know this is a lot of questions and a lot of things being thrown on here all at once. but i hope someone can give me a word of advice or something :(

Hi there for the past 7 months now I have been struggling either extreme bodily inflammation and face swelling after two root canals. It feels like my body is shutting down and like I’m gonna die but I’ve been to the hospital 7 times now and they keep saying I’m fine.
It started with wheezing then I woke up with extremely bad tooth pain then the two root canals then I lost 20 pounds, stiff neck, terrible back pain, joint pain, loss of bladder control. and have a vein I can literally feel in my eyelid. Also have to pee every 20 mins and have sharp headaches and waves in my vision. And now have a weird rash on my chin. And skin is extremely dry. I extracted the two root canal teeth and nothing has been fixed. Ive seen a gi and rheumatologist and have had multiple ct scans and bloodwork and everyone keeps saying im fine. The rheumatologist said it is a mild sign of vasculitis but doesn’t know where the infection is coming from. And didn’t give me any pills or medication
Have no ideas what could be causing this but my guesses are vasculitis, h pylori, or something worse

Roughly 2 years ago while eating, I felt my tooth with a crown (I’ve had this crown since I was very young, between 8-11) pop and felt some pain for a few seconds. It seemed fine after so I never went to get it checked. Fast forward to now it is extremely loose! I’ve also noticed from old pictures that the tooth has completely shifted. I know I need to make an appointment but I would prefer to wait until I get paid next week. I’m just looking for some advice until then. I’ve included pictures of what my tooth looked like 4 years ago and now to show the shift change. I’m not entirely sure if my tooth under the crown is also loose. I can move the crown forward and back, as well as twist it. Literally the only way it won’t move is off lol so I’m not sure what is still attached. I tried to get a clear picture of what is under it but the last included picture was the best I could do.

I’ve been wiggling it and have gotten A LOT of stuff that seems to be probably old food out (like the white stuff in between teeth when you floss) and its bleeding a good bit when I mess with it. It also smells HORRIBLE.

I really want to pull it now even though I know that’s probably not the best idea. The only reason I haven’t tbh is because it does hurt when I try which makes me scared I’ll mess something up, so any opinions would be appreciated:)

Hey zusammen,
ich habe mir vor Kurzem zwei Veneers an den Frontzähnen machen lassen. Ich bin mir mit dem Ergebnis allerdings noch nicht ganz sicher und überlege, sie eventuell noch einmal ändern zu lassen.
Mich würde eure ehrliche Meinung interessieren: Wie findet ihr sie? Wirken sie natürlich oder fällt euch etwas auf, das ihr verändern würdet?
Ich weiß natürlich, dass am Ende wichtig ist, dass sie mir selbst gefallen – trotzdem würde mich eine neutrale Meinung von außen interessieren. 😊
Danke euch!

I avoided my dentist for 3 years😭 i am now wondering how much should i start saving for my cavities treatment after i get my wisdom tooth removed.

One of my teeth are turning green (the second from the left ) and i looked up the causes now im terrified. I floss everyday, this pic was taken before. I brush atleast twice a day, and am a consistent mouthwash user. I don’t understand why it would die ? Is it because of the diet coke?
message me about it please the comments keep getting took down before i can see !!

Hi, I noticed this bump on the roof of my mouth a few days ago. It didn’t hurt at first but now it hurts when I swallow or put pressure on it (ex my tongue). I can’t figure out what it would be. Any ideas?

I’m 20, don’t smoke, no new medications or any medical conditions.

Two questions :

1- The first 2 photos are of the front and back of a upper molar that I definitely think has a cavity, because the last dentist appointment (about 4-5 months ago) they said that the tooth’s cavity was too small to get removed . But I just want to ask Reddit and confirm if it’s gotten worse.

2- the photos after that are of my bottom molars where I have hole or cups in several of my back teeth. I just noticed them these past couple months because one had a jagged edge and I could feel it with my tongue. I often clench which you can tell from my front teeth. I also used to wear a mouth guard that I got from the dentist but it’s been hurting recent since my upper possible cavity got worse and throbs whenever I put it in. I also have acid reflux so my question is are the holes/cups from grinding or acid reflux or a developing cavity. I’ve also only gotten one cavity in my life and one filling in high school (I’m now 21) so that’s why I’m so anxious.
