I think colors that are cool for summer are orange and hot pink ( it is SO cool ) and like a dark lime green with pink, it is then watermelon colors (it looks spiffy too!) i am getting hot pink for summer because that is the color of my swim suit, so that is a great possibility, because during the summer you wear your swim suit most of the time and wouldn't you want your braces to match it! i think it is weird when braces dont match what you are wearing, if would be ugly having a orange swim suit and green braces!

i have blue and silver ones on now and they are hott! LOL!

I always got silver to blend with the metallic braces. I don't like colors in my mouth like that.Don't get clear, I hear, though. It will turn an icky color because of food and such.Oh, yeah, and please don't get red! They always make me think that the wearer's teeth are bleeding. You teeth will be sore, so wearing red might have a negative effect on your mind lol.

silver and gold this time . next time get them to match your cell phone.
you could also get colors to match the holidays. i did that when i had my braces. i thought is was fun going to have my colors changed. [i think i might miss having braces]lorl[laughing out really loud]

What causes bone loss in your teeth? how do i prevent it to happen??

Answer:
The bacteria in your plaque eats away at your teeth and bone. So brush and floss every day. Many people choose not to floss, but the plaque gets pushed down under the gumline and eats away at your bone. It is important to FLOSS to remove the plaque before it hardens and can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. It would be a good idea to book an appointment for a cleaning. They will instruct you on a cleaning routine to maintain your newly cleaned mouth.

Lack of calcium and vitamin D.

I would say not having enough vitamins and calcium especially. A well balanced and healthy diet is mandatory.
Everything in us is constantly being remade by what we eat.
If we do not eat well, our body has no resources to build with.You need to use an anti-bacterial mouthwash to kill of the bacteria. By killing the germs it will definitely discourage the accumulation of the plaque and junk on your teeth.

Germs that live below the gums give off chemicals that cause the bone to deteriorate around the teeth. Flossing once a day and brushing 2 x a day helps remove these germs and get rid of inflammation. Also have a habit of teeth grinding and clenching can speed up the process. Regular check ups with your dentist and cleanings can help keep the germ levels down and they can monitor whether or not you grind your teeth.

Actually, a multitude of reasons, but mainly not brushing well around the gums, then the gums recede and the bone around the tooth releases. The gums continue to shrink back the bone continues to withdraw so it is a vicious cycle. Brush your gums and teeth, eat a healthy diet, not many sweets which cause bacteria to grow,. Remember teeth were meant to last a lifetime.

bone loss can be due deficiency of vitamin C and D,prolonged gingivitis or periodontitis or abscess ,trauma , deep cavity , excessive pressure from orthodontic appliances, osseous dieseases like osteoporosis , debilated conditions like diabetes , advanced age
bone loss can be prevented by takin vitamin C and D ,get treatment for gingivitis or periodontitis or abscess ,avoid trauma ,get deep cavities restored early,if suffering from osseous dieseases than get there treatment done,proper orthodontic care

What causes bad breath and how can you get rid of it?

Answer:
80% of bad breath comes from bacterias on your tongue, roof of your mouth and internal cheeks and gums. most people think it's just a tounge problem.
what i would reccomend is a mouth rinse prior to brushing, brush for at least two min, then brush the inside of your cheeks, the roof of your mouth and of course, your tounge. rinse well, floss followed by a mouth wash.
they do make separate cleaners for your cheeks and tounge, over the counter, and of course both mouth washes/rinses.
also, talk to your dentist on your bi-yearly visits if more help is needed. good luck.

mouth wash

bacteria in the mouth get a good dental routine

bacteria on the tongue can cause bad breath, the tongue should periodically be cleaned using a toothbrush lightly.

bacteria use mouthwash brush teeth and tongue and floss twice daily

Most of the time it is your toung. Or it could be a bad tooth. Lots of time I notice people who don't eat have bad breath.

Bad breath can be caused by a number of things, like smoking, eating, etc. Other bad breath is caused by the bacteria in your mouth.
Remedy: Brush teeth and tongue after meals, and first thing in the morning, use Listerine as directed, keep breath mints or breath spray with you for the in-between moments.

Sugar and food. Brush, floss and chew sugar-free gum. You may have a gum disease or rotting tooth so you may have to visit the dentist.

hahahah you havent got bad breath hen cos i sit beside you at work every day

Causes:-
Certain foods, such as garlic and onions
Particles of food remain in the mouth
Dry mouth (xerostomia)
Tobacco products
May be it is the sign of a medical disorder, such as a local infection in the respiratory tract, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, liver or kidney ailment.
Self-care:-
Brush your teeth after you eat
Floss at least once a day
Brush your tongue
Drink plenty of water
Use a fairly new toothbrush.
Schedule regular dental checkupsThis links will tell you more details

GET A TONGUE SCRAPER (dont brush your tongue until you scrape it and not with your toothbrush!) Mouthwash dries your mouth out which makes it a breeding ground for bacteria. You will be amazed at what comes off of your tongue. try it. Seriously. and floss too!

Bad breath is caused often because you haven't brushed and flossed well .If you don't keep teeth and gums free of the bacterial buildup, they'll start to cause odor as the bacteria rot leftover food particles in your mouth. A few seeds of cardamom chewed for a brief while will clear your mouth of bad breath. Chew parsley leaves,which are sure to keep your breath fresh.

What can you do for a tooth ache?

Answer:
As a dentist myself I always recommend Motrin (Ibuprofen), this is the best Over The Counter pain reliever as it will not only help with pain but will also help with inflammation. I usually recommend that my patients take between 600-800mg for ages over 18. Also try an ice pack, this will help numb the area affected and help with inflammation as well. An oral anesthetic like Orajel will also help numb the area. If the pain becomes severe you may want to consider calling your dentists emergency number for advice or to have him/her call you in a narcotic pain medication. Good luck and feel better soon

Aside from taking Ibuprofen or another pain relieving OTC medication, it depends on the severity of the pain. If it is really severe, you need immediate attention from a private dentist or the hospital. I have found that using lavender oil on the cheek in the area of the pain is really helpful as well. Avoid eating or drinking anything cold or hot as this will make the nerves, which are already sensitive, even more irritated and painful. The main thing is to get immediate help from a professional, even if you detest dentists. Hope you feel better soon.

i generally put a clove in my mouth and takes a pane killer medicine try this buddy may it will hely you

Anbesol or Orajel is what I use. Personally, Anbesol works better. They just numb the area and can be used to sores too, not just toothaches. It shouldn't run you more than $7 at the store, wherever you buy it. Sometimes Advil or Tylenol just doesn't cut it, but if the pain does not subside after about a week, make an appointment with your dentist and have him/her check it out. It is imperitive that you keep up with dental health because certain dental problems are linked to heart disease.

first, i say brush your teeth...dats wat i did first.
if dat dont work, bite on a clove where your tooth pain is comin from...i did dat, its nasty but works.
But if all else fails, go to da dentist.
u may need a root canal or a cleanin because sadly, dats how its turning out for me...
:(

Hi there,
Yes, I, too know the miseries of toothache and it does seem that drastic action is the only way to get rid of the darned thing. It really is painful and it wrecks so much that, even as a guy of fifty one years, I could cry and wriggle around on the floor in fits of shear agony!! A coward? Most definitely. I hate dental surgeons for the simple reason that, even in the twenty first century, we still have to be subjected to treatments that are as traumatic as the toothache itself and you have to part with mucho currencio while feeling that you could pass out on the very spot. My philosophy is, cluck like a chicken,like me, and take good old paracetamol and a hot water bottle covered with a handtowel held over the offending cheek. Good luck and happy screaming!!!

Go to the dentist as soon as possible if you don't it will get even worse...swollen and then the doctor won't be able to do anything with it.But for now the best pain reliever is BC Powder...works really really fast!
