things people google at 2am about their teeth (and actual answers)

we see the questions. here are some real ones with real answers:

'why does my tooth hurt only when I chew' — often a cracked tooth or failing filling. worth getting looked at soon.

'is it normal for gums to bleed every time I floss' — not normal, but very common. usually inflammation. consistent flossing for 2 weeks often improves it.

'can I wait on a broken tooth if it doesn't hurt' — depends on the break. sharp edges, visible inner tooth, or sensitivity to temperature: don't wait.

'what happens if I don't replace a missing tooth' — adjacent teeth shift over time. worth addressing.
