Yellow teeth
I have severely yellow teeth and I want to clean them up naturally and over time. No procedure or chemical pastes. What should I do on a daily basis to whiten my teeth? Another question I have is which toothpaste should I use on a daily basis. Please suggest something that is good for health and teeth and doesn't contain harmful substances. Also should I switch to an electric toothbrush? If so any recommendations?
Dental bridge pain persists
My dental bridge was recently replaced after 15 years due to sensitivity in the last abutment tooth. It was root-canal treated and a new bridge was placed. It has been 9 days since the new bridge was placed. I experience pain and occasional sensitivity in the last tooth. I had an OPG taken and the dentist says everything looks normal. He even reduced my high points twice. I even got a second opinion, for which the dentist said the RCT looks good, but if the problem persists then there's no option other than extracting the tooth. I only had a molar extracted on my other side and the other molar is waiting to be crowned. Now with this opinion, I am even more anxious and devastated as I could permanently lose all my molars on the lower jaw. The pain is still there and it gets worse in the morning after I wake up. But I can manage it for some time but it won't go away. I am seriously scared there might be a hidden tooth fracture that's not showing on the X-ray. Any advice is appreciated.
