Is Trident Gum no longer supported by the Dental Assoication? (Their logo is no longer on the new packaging)?

Honestly, I don't know.  But here's my theory.  It used to be that Trident was one of the few sugarless gums available, so the ADA supported it.  Now there are a ton of sugarless gums, and maybe the ADA doesn't want to put their label on everyone of them.  Chewing sugarfree gum is a great way to cleanse the teeth of plague and food debris when brushing and flossing cannot be done.  Chew one with Xylitol.  Recent research proves that it prevents decay.

If your pharmacy doesn't have temporary dental cement, try a little petroleum jelly (Vaseline). It may hold it in place until you can get to the dentist.\n\nBTW, it shouldn't cost you anything to have your dentist re-attached the crown unless it's one he/she didn't do.

In order for gum to have flavor, complex flavor molecules must leave the chewing gum and get into your saliva, and match up with the appropriate taste buds (and exhude into your nasal passages). This means that the flavors must dissolve from the gum-arabic (or latex, or whatever) substance that is chewy, thereby leaving the gum.\n\nIt's therefore impossible to have a flavor that simultaneously releases itself from the gum, AND lasts forever. Pretty-darned-long-lasting is possible, but not everlasting.

#1\nbut, you can take out the "a" to make it sound better.\nWhich gum has longer lasting flavor?\n( capatilize the "w" in which, too!)

If you really enjoy root canals you will enjoy trying to fix a stick of RAM.  :-)\n\nIf you bought it from a reputable company like Crucial, Kingston, PNY, Kahlon, or even a chain store like Best Buy, Circuit City, etc, the RAM will have a lifetime warranty.  Just get it replaced and don't go through the pain and agony of that root canal...... er, I mean that RAM repair.

You could try Euthymol, but I think you'd soon go back to liking mint flavour cos it tastes of TCP!!!! I bought a tube once, and I started dreading cleaning my teeth cos I hated it! But hey... everyone's different, you might like it. You can get it from most supermarkets.

the war against tooth decay? (they appear to be losing!)

I did some research and here's the deal with Clear Care & AOSEPT - they aren't being discontinued and will be back in stores soon.  There was a protocol violation at their manufacturing plant, nothing was contaminated, but they voluntarily shut down operations.  They started manufacturing again a couple of weeks ago and sent everything to their distribution center in Kansas.  Well, a tornado hit the distribution center, so they're set back even farther.  They're slowly getting everything back together, so it will still be a little while before the products will be back on the shelves.  In the meantime, your optometrist might have a few spare bottles.

I hope not! I've noticed I've been doing it since my mid-twenties, but I was able to "deal" with the dull pain. In the past six months, though, a filling came out of one of my molars and then a molar on the other side actually cracked! My dentist repaired both, but said it was due to my grinding, as were the cavities developing from all the wear and tear on my teeth enamel. So next month I'm getting fitted for a mouthguard to wear when I sleep.

You can rub a little bit of whiskey on it ... or ambesol.  Check with a dentist .... may be time for them to come out.

The oil in peanut butter has something in it that breaks down the gum (try chewing some gum, then adding peanut butter to your mouth- bye-bye gum.)

amissybell, why don't you watch who you're calling gay? Saktoth happens to be my boyfriend. Don't bloody well make assumptions like that. Not only that, he's asked a perfectly serious question, clearly after a serious response.\nNo wonder you've only got a 3% best answer rate.\n\nSorry Saktoth, you already know that I think you should go and see a dentist about it to see if it's in danger of cracking completely and that I don't know what would have caused it.

I used Nicorettes and quit for 12 years. It eliminated the cravings and took care of the oral aspect. It's more mental at first. There is also a generic product now which is less money. If you are a regular smoker, the gum works out to about the same price or less. Good Luck

I had that to, you should go see your dentist it could be a cracked tooth. Does it also hurt when you chew on it to? The dentist will take a x-ray to see if it is cracked. I had to get a crown on mine.
