I ask this question because I find the notion that says modern oral hygiene is practically on par with having air, water, food, shelter, and clothing to be absurd. I would say that it is of relative importance, but not all-encompassing. So how exactly did they manage without the advent of modern chemicals?

Any natural alternatives to toothbrushing, flossing, etc.? Besides drinking piss :/..

I was eating some hard candy about 2 years ago and broke a tooth (one of the ones on top, on the side…not visible when smiling). I haven’t felt any pain whatsoever but for the past couple of months it has really been bothering me. What can I expect of the overall experience? I will be going through Greenberg Dental so if anyone has any experience with this group, your feedback would be great. How much can I expect to pay (I have Delta Dental insurance)? What is the pain like? How much will it cost? What is the recovery time? Is there any maintenance afterwards (other than normal oral hygiene)? I am going to try to do it in January but may have to get it done sooner because I can no longer chew on that side of the mouth and it hurts to even brush my teeth on that side of my mouth. PLEASE HELP!!!

I’ve had them for 2 weeks, also have cold/flu symptoms (fever, weakness, chesty cough etc)

I have pretty decent oral hygiene, and I’m not sexually active.

Please help!

By the way, the picture isn’t me but that’s what they look like
Sorry, just realised the pic’s not working. They’re small red lumps on the very back of my tounge there are a lot of them and some have white tips

I have what feels like a painless pin-point of a ulcer on my upper gum and I am seeing dentist Monday

Cancer is on my mind because I am having a cyst removed from the sole of my foot soon and that will be sent off to pathology for a cancer test

I am 50, former moderate drinker and former smoker.

I sort of would like to know how rare mouth cancer is. The sore or canker is just above my tooth on the surface of the gum.

I was clinically depressed earlier in the year following bereavement and oral hygiene wasn’t at its best.

How common or rare is oral cancer?
