2days after the procedure i started to work but the next day (3rd da) I felt dizzy the whole day from the time I wakeup. Does it mean i'm experiencing an infection/pus on extraction site? I started 625mg co-amoxiclav antibiotic just the night i started feeling dizzy. I am just about to see my dentst today since he's been o vacation since my dizzines started.

My daughters wisdom teeth are breaking through the skin and she has some pain . Is this uncomfortableness normal and will pass once the tooth is fully in ? or does it possibly mean that they need extracting ?

I'm in quite dire need of dental work but I don't have adequate funding to get proper treatment. I'm assuming, though, that my state medicaid won't cover the costs, which is very disheartening. Has anyone had experience with this sort of circumstance?

I haven't been to the dentist in a long time (bad I know) but I've have an appointment later this week. I'm pretty sure I'll need at least a couple of fillings done.

How long does it take for a general check up? It's been so long, I don't remember!!! I mean, how long will I have to hold my mouth open for?

The problem is, over the past 10 years I've developed quite severe TMJ syndrome and I can only hold my mouth open for 2 minutes and no more before I'm in severe pain. And I can't open it very wide either. How do I deal with this while at the dentist?

And what happens when I get fillings? How long does that take? Is there anything they can use to keep my mouth open but take the pressure off my TMJ joint?

Even if you can only answer some questions, like how long things take, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

I haven't been to the dentist for 10 years. Now my teeth are really bad and I'm scared the dentist will give me a big lecture and shout at me for not going sooner.

I've got huge cavities in 3 of my teeth which hurt a lot now, and I've got smaller cavities in several other teeth as well.

Will the dentist give me into trouble if I go now? I always used to get lectures from my dentist in the past if I had cavities about how I wasn't taking care of my teeth. I dread to think wat they'll say about the state of my teeth now :o(

I think I lost feeling in my feet. Does anyone know how to help me now. I got to go to the store to buy some food, a garden rake and a cordless hammer. I can't do this without feet. Wait I have my feet I just do not have feeling in them. I might try to cut them open with this plastic knife in order to see if I could find the bugs hiding under my brown and yellow toe nails. They sure are tasty when you cut them after jogging for about four or five miles. I am getting so hungry right now. Do you enjoy eating toe nails too?

My mom has a little bump on her gum because of her tooth. I think it is infected. I am not sure if it is an abscessed tooth but the dentist took an xray and he said she will need to get rid of the "black image" shown on the xray in her tooth - it might be decayed or whatever i am not sure. My mom had root canal on that tooth before and she thought she would need to take off her crown and get it recleaned. However, the dentist said she doesn't need to do that. All she needs to do is go thru a small surgery in which they will cut open her gum and fix the tooth?!! We are going back to Asia next week - my mom will get it fixed then. But for now her gum is still swollen with that bump. The dentist said the bump can be swollen and not swollen...it really depends..TO ALL THE DENTISTS ON HERE-- any suggestions? much appreciated!!!

Hey.... how do you know when they appear? Do they come along with pain on the gum?

Thanks.
