r/Teeth

I've recently came across alot of content/theories of how cavities are actually reversible. Remineralization of tooth decay and stuff like that.

About how flouride is actually bad for our teeth.

Also holistic approach towards health, all organic, alkaline etc.

If you are someone who has any idea on how can i reverse this completely naturally and safely pllsssss i beg you, pls let me know.

I have one black tooth and the one on the side of it. Rotting. Pls help

Pls tell me exactly what to do and how long it will take. Root canal and stuff is my last resort i want genuine healing of my teeth. I believe body has the power to ever heal itself.

Pls pls help. If you are someone who has tried it or knows it for sure.

Thank you.

so 2 days ago i noticed that my front bottom teeth were hurting, like aching but honestly i didnt pay any more mind to it than just letting my parents know that they hurt. also important note, i have 2 mouth ulcers, both are located right bottom, one is more up and the other one is down next to my bottom front teeth gums, but they're literally aligned😭 and next day it was beginning to really really hurt and i looked in the mirror and my bottom front teeth gums were red, not bleeding but obviously red because the top were pink so i went to the school nurse and she told me it was normal and that my teeth was hurting because my ulcers did something to the gum i think? and she told me to take bactidol or to use salt water, so i used saltwater for the time being and told my mother to get bactidol and i used it after i ate my lunch and it got better for abit and then i went home, dinner, brushed my teeth and bactidol and repeat for after breakfast and dinner up until now where i dont really know how to explain my situation cause, i mean the hurt is less but i dont know if im paranoid or not but i honestly feel like their gonna fall off and like i mean its not visible wobbly but i dont know if what im doing is right or if gurgling bactidol has its side effects😞 pls tell me if its this is normal or i should be doing something else or should i stop, and im sorry if this was a stupid question but ive never experienced teeth pain like this where it feels like their sensitive ☹️

I saw my dentist a couple months ago worried about these horizontal lines on my upper right front tooth. They were very light in colour at that time. I have craze lines that run vertical and then spotted these. My other craze lines look more white not gray like these. My dentist took a light to them and said it’s nothing to worry about. Now months later they are very noticeable. I was drinking green tea every morning at work but stopped that these last few weeks. Can someone please share their thoughts if this is just staining or do we think this is a cavity or something else? my next dental cleaning is in October. When I take a flash light to the tooth I can see grooves. Perhaps my daily drinking of green tea really stained the area? I don’t have any pain.

I just had an extraction for 2 teeth last Friday , it’s now Monday .

Saturday seemed pretty fine . I starting eating just only mash potatoes and yogurt .

Around 12am today as I was trying to go to sleep , I keep getting a sharp throbbing pain in the little area that looks like a big pimple .

I haven’t smoked or used a straw , I’ve done the saltwater rinses and haven’t ate nothing crazy . Is it possible to follow everything right and still get it . Also how did I deal with it until u was able to get to the dentist . Please help lol I’m going crazy .

Also ( I’ve been brushing around the areas as well ) trying to avoid as much toothpaste in the areas as possible .

It is day six since I got my wisdom teeth removed (3 total, two upper & one lower tooth 🦷).

This whole week I've been really good drinking soup eating extremely soft mashed potatoes/sweet 🥔, drinking milkshakes, pretty much mostly liquid liquids & extremely soft foods (not even soft fish I was scared of little bones). I've even been scared to eat Mac and cheese because I know l've heard you can cook it soft and eat it but I don't understand like how it won't get stuck there when you chew?

I really miss chips, pizza 🍕, siracha, ice cream with chocolate chips and Oreo cookies, shrimp tempura sushi ... sorry I'm really hungry I can keep going on and on 😪

What's the normal timeframe people can eat again? Assuming the healing is going well.

The meaty one freaks me out so bad

Hi.

43 yr old male. Have metal fillings on bottom molars. Pics attached.

What is the best option to replace this metal?

If there isn’t I am thinking of getting them pulled as last resort.

Eventually want to get braces or avisalign to straighten my teeth back out.

Thank you!

Im going to a dentist already but i wanted to ask if this looks serious? i dont have a photo right now but i have an example of what it looks like its small on my lower back left side of my teeth, is this easily fixable? (ignore the one on the right its not the best example, the one on the left is)

i dont really feel anything other then a slight throb when i chew down, are there any precautions i should take?

So overall, I feel pretty good about my teeth. I have good oral hygiene and brush 2x/day and floss regularly. Might miss a day or two over the weekend but overall keep up with it. I will say I didn’t have the best oral routine growing up and really locked in around late high school/college (saying that now it feels kinda late lol) but better late than never I guess!

Anyways, my biggest issue is my bottom front tooth (specifically my left one, 24 I believe?). I’ve been experiencing discomfort, sensitivity, and when I move my mouth I can sometimes feel a pop there? It’s uncomfortable to bite into things, suck on a straw, etc. I definitely notice some gum loss in between the bottom teeth too - there’s that black triangle and feels deep/loose when I floss in between. It’s been at least 18 months since I’ve been experiencing this bc I’ve addressed this at my last 3 cleanings (every 6 months).

The first time, they did x-rays, those typical tests-bite down, putting pressure, tapping, etc. and said they didn’t see anything wrong. I ended up going back about a month later bc I still felt uncomfortable about it and thought something has to be wrong. Still nothing.

I just had my cleaning last week, brought it up again, and STILL nothing. They even did a CT as a courtesy and apparently nothing showed there either. I’ve done a lot of research and I’m convinced I have gum disease, but the dentist has never mentioned anything. Not even receding gums or anything along those lines. I asked them to send me copies of my X-rays, and from what I’ve learned (from Google so take that into consideration I guess), even those appear to show gum disease…

These are from 2/6/26 + 3/5/26 (don’t have a copy from this month yet). I have ones from 2023-2025 and it doesn’t seem like a drastic difference from then and now. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!!
