I have these black spots on some of my back teeth. They've been there for years and ever time i went to the dentist, they did nothing about them. Are they cavities or not?
Are they cavities or not?
Have you considered looking for a different dentist? Did the one you go to make some x-rays? If he or she did and they found no cavities, probably everything is OK.

Will the cavities get worse?
I found out yesterday I need four fillings in my teeth, but when I phoned the dentist today to make another appointment they said I have to have them done 2 at a time, and they gave me two appointments, but the first one isn't for 6 weeks, and then next one is 2 weeks after that.
Won't the cavities get worse in that time? My sister says if I don't stop eating sweets they'll get really bad and they'll be really sore. Is that true? Should I stop eating sweets until I've had the fillings done? What should I do to stop them getting worse?

Lots of water helps clean the tooth. Floss and brush. Preventy stuff from tainting and rotting in your teeth.
Reply:Just be sure to use proper dental hygine and you'll be ok.
Reply:they will get worse but not much the dentist will drill away any damage.
Reply:yes they'l get worse and worse better to just lok after them
Reply:Just use to chewing saffron herbs u ll be ok with in a week.
Reply:cavities are caused by plaque,,,plaque acids that eat away at calcium tooths,,put a milk tooth in coke(acidic) and it'll disolve overnight. Plaque is caused by sugars-carbohydrates that stay on the tooth. So 1. avoid sugar and sweet things, including carbohydrates-which is a sugar. Eating carbohydrates with fat makes it stick to the teeth,,,like eating crisps and coke,,your teeth get fury. 2. Brush your teeth- get rid of plaque and minimise further deteriation. Hope this helps
Reply:If your molars are involved, ask your dentist to fill them with third generation (at least) composite resins instesd of mercury amalgams. It's worth the little extra because your health benefits in the long run. If he declines, bid him goodbye.
Sweets and foods laced with sugar, regardless whether or not they're sucrose, fructose or glucose, including soda pop etc. is society's scourge. It's responsible for not only tooth cavities but also obesity, hypoglycemia and type 2 diabetes.
It's important, at your age, to ensure that your food intake be rich in calcium and magnesium for starters. One of the easiest ways to do this is to consume organically grown fruits and vegetables.
Obtaining extra calcium from milk is a myth. If you're relying on milk as your prime source of calcium, you're fooling yourself. Milk also contains high levels of phosphorus. Excess phosphorus intake vs. calcium eventually leads to osteoporosis, which results from eating foods high in protein eg: processed cereals, meats, cheese etc.
Educate yourself on this subject. You'll end up living a long and happy cavity and osteoporosis free life.
Reply:my experience is that the doctor try to give you the ability to eat while teeth are being repaired. if all 4 are done at once, you will have to open your mouth day and night.
while treatment is in schedule, all possible preventions is advisable. stop anything funny with your teeth as if you want the best for them.

Help!!! Teeth cavities *3*?

Help!!! Teeth cavities *3*?
Cavities are easy to take care of. The novacaine shot may sting a little, but it's not really very painful at all. It numbs up very fast so when they drill, you don't feel any pain at all.
You'll basically just lay there while the dentist and a hygenist work on you. It's annoying to have all the tools in your mouth, but I promise, it's really not a painful experience at all.
Take some deep breaths and relax. It'll be over before you know it
Reply:Relax at least you are not getting a root canal cavity fillings are a breeze!!
Reply:It's ok...not bad at all..just relax....it's quick and it doesn't hurt...honestly
Reply:getting fillings is not that bad relax and try not to flinch. it will be over b4 you know it.
Reply:You will be fine...its such a simple thing to have done...Your dentist will give you an injection to numb the area (( its like a pin prick then you cant feel a thing )) Ive had 2 fillings done without the injection of anesthtic and was fine and it didnt hurt
(( one of them fillings there was no drill the second one was ))
Oh yeah the drill ISNT scary
I prommise you
You will be fine,
Tell us how it goes

Reply:I'm a dental assistant. Having cavitys filled is a simple procedure. If your feeling a bit nervous tell the dentist, ask him/her to explain what their doing as they go along. (some prefer not to know !) Once your numb - the rest is easy. ....relax!
Reply:I wish I got to your question earlier. Your appointment is causing a panic attack. The above answers are nice, but they don't address the basic issue. I hope to heck that your dentist pays attention to these concerns of yours.

As I get older I get more cavities. Why?
When I was young I could eat sweets and drink soda all day long and sometimes go asleep without brushing and not develop cavities. Now I'm in my early 30's and if I drink coffee with sugar or a few donuts, next thing I know my teeth hurts in a few places and my dentist tells me I have cavities. I just had a tooth removed that had a giant black hole in it and looked badly discolored (last tooth on the left of my upper jaw). I am drinking milk regularly. Is this increase in cavities a natural result of aging?
As I get older I get more cavities. Why?
Tooth decay results from prolonged exposure to foods that encourage germ growth, and failure to clean those germ accumulations (soft plaque and hard tartar) off your teeth on a timely/regular basis. The accumulation of the germs on your teeth, given an uninterrupted period of time, will rot through your enamel and dentin and cause a cavity.
Things you can do to stack the cards in your favor:
1) Ensure you have no existing cavities. If you have cavities, get them treated. Open cavities serve as reservoirs for the germs.
2) Modify your diet so you eat/drink less sugary and acidic foods. Sugary foods promote germ growth, acidic foods/drinks attack your enamel.
3) Use fluoride toothpaste. They make your enamel more resistant to breakdown by germs and acids.
4) 6-month regular checkups and cleanings to pick off any tartar hiding in places you can't get at, and to catch cavities before they become major problems.
5) MOST IMPORTANTLY: Develop an effective home-care regimen. You need to make sure you don't have all the germs stuck on your teeth for prolonged periods of time, and that means developing good brushing and flossing techniques (ask your dentist or hygienist to show you how), and brush at the right times-- AFTER EACH MEAL, AND RIGHT BEFORE BED.
With proper care, it's not unusual these days to reach old age without any cavities.
Reply:cavities are normally the results of improper dental care. age has nothing to do with the increase in the no. of cavities. your teeth may loosen as you grow old
Reply:drink more milk,rinse your month every nite before you go to bed if you don't want to brush
Reply:you have to brush better, it's simple as that. Your best bet is to get a root canal which permantely protects your teeth from braces instead going to the dentist every month to get your teeth filled
Reply:Hey,
first thing I suggest is get a siliva test (spit test)
your spit may have something to do with it, like me.....
they put me on a mouthwash and everything was better...
also try getting your teeth cleaned and get all the plaque of when you go home and brush.
ps. when you drink any soda try gargloing water so the soda doesnt stay in your mouth all day.
Reply:Brush your teeth after every meal and before bedtime as already mentioned. The bacteria in your mouth that cause cavities are feed by you when you eat sugary foods and the result is that they excrete (their form of peeing) acid as a result and that acid demineralizes (weakens the enamel that covers your teeth) and then decay sets in. To lessen the number of bacteria and their poop stay away from sugary foods. When you do have them and you can't brush right away then at LEAST rinse with water (swish vigorously). Since you have a problem you need to stay on top of it. Also, ask your hygienist or dentist to recommend a a HIGHER fluoride content toothpaste than the ones normally bought in stores. ( I don't know if I can name products here on the forum, so I will have to check on this for future answering) Also, rinse with a Fluoride rinse. Fluoride REmineralizes the enamel so that the microscopic holes are made smaller ...in general the tooth is made stronger. If your cavities are arising between your teeth, have your hygienist show you the proper flossing technique and if necessary have her watch you floss to determine if you are actually doing it correctly. I have come across so many people that think they are being effective when they floss, but are missing a major area, the sides of the teeth. Hope some of this helps.
FOUND OUT I can mention a product by name. So get PreviDent 5000 plus which is a prescription grade fluoride toothpaste.
Reply:Well, home care is essential....flossing is also key....As we age we tend to get cavities in different areas....usually root surfaces due to poor brushing habits causing tooth brush abrasion....Also our saliva changes becoming thicker and less plentiful...however...you are only in your 30's..which is pretty young for these changes...You need to be sure to see the dentist on a regular basis so that they can catch these cavitites before they get to the size in which they need to be removed... Someone else mentioned Prevident 5000 ...there is another brand called Flouridex which is the same thing only for the same price you get twice as much...Good luck to you

What happens when you get cavities?
I mean, what happens after a dentist tells you that you have cavities? Does he take your tooth out, or what? Also, what do fillings do? Do they kill the cavity or what? Very confused!
What happens when you get cavities?
Hi. Im a dental assistant. Cavities are decayed areas of your tooth. No, they won't take your tooth out unless the tooth is so severely decayed (huge cavity) that it can't be saved. Fillings take the place of the cavities. The dentist will numb the tooth, remove the decay with the drill and replace it with a filling material called amalgam or composite resin. Amalgam fillings are the silver-colored ones. Composites are tooth colored.
Reply:I think that they basically kill the cavity things and block the tooth from being completely ruined. THey won't pull your teeth out unless it's really serious (like you can see holes and decay)
Reply:dentist drills the **** out of it then fills it no pain but the vibration makes you dizzy
Reply:IF YOU DON'T GET IT TAKEN CARE OF THEN YOU WILL LOSE THE TOOTH
AFTER HE REMOVES THE CAVITY HE WILL REPLCE THE HOLE WITH A FILLING TO PRESERVE THE TOOTH AND HELP IT LAST A LOT LONGER
THIS IS THE IMPORTANCE OF BRUSHIN THEM CHOPPERS EVERY DAY
Reply:small one will be repaired. big one you should imagine it if you have got in an car accident and what's left is only the steering, do you still consider yourself have a car?

How many cavities are.....?
How many cavities are in your skull
How many cavities are.....?
6. Cavities being a hole or opening. 2 Nostrils, 2 eyes 2 ears. The mouth and jaw are not typically considered a cavity in the skull as the jaw is hinged and not a permanent fixture. If you consider the mouth, then it is 7.

Should I get my child's cavities filled at 6 yrs old? or wait?
my child has 2 cavities the dentist said to be filled, they are baby molars. Can I wait for them to fall out (how long can that take?) my child couldn't get throught the exam. Crying. So, I don't think a shot in the mouth is worth it. But I also want to take good care of teeth and good hygiene. Has anyone been through this? What did they do?
Should I get my child's cavities filled at 6 yrs old? or wait?
get a second opinion from a dentist - trust me.
Reply:The teeth need to be kept in good shape for the permanent teeth to grow in without cativities .
Reply:when did your child's other baby teeth fall out? or have ANY of them fallen out yet?
if they were quite a while ago, you should maybe just leave it and wait for them to fall out
if none have fallen out yet, you should get them filled
another option is to have the teeth removed, i had this done when i was about 5 or 6, they will use an anaesthetic or at least numb your child's gum with an injection. it should be painless, so nothing to worry about
Reply:You should definitely have them taken care of. The cavities will get worse and then she will be in pain. If she loses the teeth before she is supposed to that causes a spacing issue for the permanent teeth to come in. Try taking her to a pediatric dentist .(if the one you saw wasn't) They know how to handle the little ones. If the cavities are pretty small, they may not have to give her an anesthetic. (Check with the dentist) Ask about nitrous oxide to help her relax.
Reply:the problem is that the cavities can get worse and affect the permanent teeth. there are some options but it depends on the severity of the cavities etc. talk to your dentist, if he/she feels its still necessary they can send your child to a dentist who specializes in children's dentistry which might make it easier. the reality is that there is no reliable way to tell how long it will take for them to fall out. your dentist can check the xrays and see if the root of the 'baby teeth' is resorbed and sometimes you can tell about how long but its not exact. plus your child needs those baby teeth in place to keep the place for the permanent ones coming up behind them.
Reply:The cavities can spread from the baby teeth to the permanent teeth. The molars may not fall out for two more years, so yes they'll need to be filled.
Reply:I say wait and let your child's teeth rot out. I am sure that the dentist just wants to take your money! It is much more important that your child never cry or ever have any emotional distress!
Reply:Yes, you should get them filled. Premolars should last until age approx.10-13. If they decay and fall (or are taken out) early they can cause problems later on. They kind of act as space maintainers. If you don't think your regular dentist can handle your child (or vice-versa) consider a pediadontist (a children's dentist). They are well versed in how to make you child comfortable.
Reply:Definitely have them filled. Even you believe they will fall out soon, it's important to keep them in good shape. You really can't predict an exact age when the baby teeth will fall out anyway. The teeth could start to rot out from inside the cavity and end up causing her pain.
Reply:Hey don't wait. Have the molars filled but go to a dentist who treats a lot of kids. I had my molars filled when I was that young. It was either that or put up with killer-pain.
Reply:happy gas worked for my kids. its nitros oxide and puts you into another world. great stuff. id get them filled because it could be a while before they fall out and could cause problems with the other teeth
Reply:My Son had 2 and he very gun shy of the dentist and I said no they will fall out.Since they are his baby teeth I say leave them alone,they should come out within 4 yrs.Just make sure he brushed his teeth and they even have kids mouth wash .
Reply:Do not NEGLECT the cavities in your child's mouth. He needs to have them filled! If he doesn't, he could develop an abscess, which is more threatening and painful than a cavity. Also, primary teeth preserve a space for his permanent teeth, so you want them to be as healthy as possible. Another reason to have them filled is they could easily become deeper and more painful, your child may not want to eat and become malnourished as a result.
Children usually don't loose their molars until ages 10-12.
Reply:My 6 year old has 2 fillings now and I am happy he has them. I don't have to worry about toothaches. The dentist made him very comfortable, he had a couple of visits before he had it actually done, where the dentist let him touch the instruments and be comfortable sitting on the chair. Anyhow, he didn't cry when the second filling was put on. Good luck.
