Painful Pimple on Gums

Why Is My Tooth Turning Gray?
I had a toothache that drove me to the dentist. It takes a lot to get me there. I don’t have my own dentist so I went to one who sees people in emergencies. He said my symptoms meant that I cracked a tooth. He crowned it right then which I appreciated. The pain did […]

Loose Tooth from Toy Sword
My son and I were sword fighting with wooden swords. I took an injury to the mouth. I thought my lip was just swollen, but today one of my front teeth feels loose. I keep wiggling it to check and I’m almost positive. Can a dentist fix this? What if I don’t have a regular […]
Emergency Dentist Accused Me of Being Crazy
I’m beyond frustrated and don’t know how to proceed. I’d gone to see an emergency dentist. He did an exam and x-rays then said I needed a root canal treatment. I scheduled and followed through with the procedure. It’s been some weeks later and I’m still in pain. I called him and he had me […]
Wouldn’t I Need An Emergency Dentist if Something Was Wrong?
I have a new dentist due to my old dentist retiring. I went in for my normal checkup and he said I have two teeth which need to be extracted and replaced. Surely, if my teeth were that far along I would have needed an emergency dentist from the pain, don’t you think? Could this […]
