hay /fit/. I have decay in one of my wisdom teeth. My insurance goes into effect in the new year and I'd like to wait until then to get all of my wisdom teeth taken out in one session.
So that's 2 1/2 months, say 3 until I can get in. I currently am just starting to feel a mild, persistant ache.
I'm wondering, what can I do to stop the progress of the cavity, and how fast will the pain increase? The cavity is on the outside wall of the upper-right third molar near the gumline.
I've already stopped drinking pop, brush twice daily, and floss. Also should I brush more or less thoroughly on the area with the cavity?
Also your own teeth-related stories.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care#Europe
>All of Europe has publicly sponsored and regulated health care. Countries include Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

>England
>The NHS provides the majority of healthcare in England, including primary care, in-patient care, long-term healthcare, ophthalmology and dentistry. The National Health Service Act 1946 came into effect on 5 July 1948. Private health care has continued parallel to the NHS, paid for largely by private insurance, but it is used by less than 8% of the population, and generally as a top-up to NHS services.

rich people come to america to get premium health care they want
poor people go to other countries to get free health care they need

whatever, i can easily pay the $160 it costs to get a tooth pulled. I'd just prefer not to and to get them all done in one operation.

I hear Cuba's health care is decent, you hardly have to pay for a cent when it comes to hospital care, not too sure about dental care though. You don't even have to be a citizen, they just ask you for your name and birth date. Of course, I don't know if any of this is actually true, but according to wiki...

Listerine.
I shit you not.
Brush twice a day - each time for twice as long as you normally do. Floss. And listerine for as long as you can take it / until it dont burn.
I had gingivitis. 3 weeks later i went back and had none.

my ginivitis just wouldnt go away bleeding between teeth whenever I flossed and occasionaly a little bit of swelling behind my front teeth, no amount of listerine brushing or flossing could get rid of it. After I got my wisdom tooth out I was on antibiotics to stop it getting infected, the antibiotics cleared up my ginivitis within days
