FAQ: Rotten Teeth

Picture Gallery: Rotting Teeth Examples

I have five teeth on my lower jaw that are rotten all the way to the gum line and one that just broke in half. Do they need to be pulled out or can they be fixed? ... Visitor from MI (answer)
Is it possible that an "infection" can cause someone's teeth to rot so that they cannot be saved at all? My friend said he went to a dentist that told him because of an "infection" in his system his teeth were going to have to be pulled and could not be saved. He is no longer sick but his teeth are getting worse and worse and he won't get a second opinon... he is just waiting for them to fall out. ... Visitor from NY (answer)
Childbirth causes Rotten Teeth? I am 30 years old and have had a history of healthy teeth. After my 3rd child was born my teeth have rotted to the gum and look horrible and cause lots of pain. Today a front tooth that was rotted to the gum just fell out and now I'm left with a disgusting looking mouth despite always religiously brushing and flossing. What went wrong and how can my teeth be fixed so I can get my white smile back? ... Visitor from Northants United Kingdom (answer)
Rotting teeth: My friend and I have just parted company because he refuses to do anything about his lower teeth which are brown. They look rotten to me. Molars and others are missing. He has upper dentures. He is a very healthy 81 year old man and says at his age he is absolutely adamant about not doing anything about his lower teeth. Yet he expects kisses which I will not give him, telling him "I am not going to kiss a germ and bacteria laden mouth." Wouldn't my own health be at risk? Anyway his mouth is a complete turn-off under the circumstances. Also, if a man with rotten teeth nibbles on a woman's breast, isn't it possible that the bacteria can travel down the mammary glands and eventually cause cancer? ... Visitor from NJ (answer)
