What is the name of that pink stuff to see how muck plaque is on your teeth and where can you buy it?

Yup. They're called disclosing tablets. Ask your dentist if he has any... he may, and if so, he'll probably just give them to you.\nI have more than I know what to do with...\n\n\n**********************************************************\nTo Nebula D\n\nThis person didn't ask anything more than what they're called. I assume, since this person knows about them, that they have received OHI. And, since I'm not looking in their mouth, I can't really tell where they need to improve. But, thanks for telling them to brush and floss. I'm sure they had no idea.\nPLEASE find someone else to pick on and leave me alone.\nPS: Plax isn't a fluoride rinse. Sorry that a hygienist had to point that one out to you...

Go to your local health food store or head shop and look for a product by a company called Vales (comes premixed or powder form). Be prepared to spend around $40.

carmex, it's amazing, you can get it from Boots (if you live in the UK) but vaseline is good too!

There a a few different types that I use in the following cases:\n1. gut (plain or chromic) - these are dissolvable. Good for cases where a follow-up isn't really necessary. But can collect plaque about them, and become annoying to patients when the loosen up. The chromic type can last weeks, and I don't see the need for them in dentistry.\n2. black silk - these are non-dissolvable. Easy for the dentist to see and use. Also collect plaque. I don't use these much anymore.\n3. monofilament nylon - non-dissolvable. Easy for dentist to see but more difficult to place and remove. Much cleaner than gut or silk.\nThe dentist will tell you if you need to come back to have your sutures removed. If you can't remember, then call his office.

You should be able to get them at any Drug Store.  I found them online at CVS.com.\n\nThey are also spelled "SOOTHERBS"...they are all natural and contain Zinc and Echinacea.

i just found what i think are cold sores on my mouth, and my sister recommended abreva. Its a freaking rip off, about $20 for2 grams of the stuff, but it made it stop hurting already (its been like half an hour!)

Yeah, and now there is some new-fangled gum recommended for the purpose... Trident, I think. Helps get the stick bits out from between your teeth, too.\n\nIt isn't a replacement for proper dental hygiene, but if you don't want to carry a tooth brush with you where ever you go, it's awesome.

1. Lightly brush the spot with a stiff-bristled toothbrush. Doing this breaks up the blood clot and gets circulation going again.\n2. The redness will spread, but will be less obvious after about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, make sure to cool it down with a bit of ice. Repeat if necessary.\n3. Finish off the small pink spot that remains with make up: put yellow eyeshadow or other eyeshadow that matches your skin tone, to the spot and cover the rest (with the hickey too) with concealer. No one will ever notice! \n\n\n* Sometimes if you add a bit of toothpaste to the brush, it will help clear up any redness faster.\n* In the future, get and give hickeys where they won't be easily found -- or don't get one at all! \n\nThings You'll Need\n\n* Toothbrush\n* eyeshadow of your skin tone\n* Concealer\n* Toothpaste (optional)

i Used to get so many canker sores.  But then i switched to this tooth paste.  See I was at the health food store, and like complaining about my canker sores or seomthing, and this random guy was like, try this toothpaste; it doesn't have <insert weird ingredient i can't remember right now here>.  So I did, and I have gotten like three canker sores in the past year.  I think it is called SeaFresh.  It's Sea something.

If you're gums are not pink, there is a huge problem. See your dentist.

Pretty much any store with other dental products.  Krogers probably has them, walgreens, meijer, walmart, cvs, etc.

Umm... that sounds really bad.  The only time I've ever heard of brown fuzz is typhoid.  Which is unusual, and I hope you don't have it.\n\nWhen you're not wearing your retainer, soak it in hydrogen peroxide.  At least once a week clean it for a long time.  Some retainers can be boiled, some are too weak.  But clean it in something that super kills germs very regularly.  It sounds like you're not brushing Enough (2-4x a day), and like.. you're not taking good care of the retainer.\n\nBut just in case you are, talk to your doctor and your dentist about it.  They'll probably want to do a urinalysis on you and see if you've got any infections.
