My husband had his wisdom teeth removed yesterday @ 12:00 noon. He kept ice on it all day and most of the night. He is still swollen a little. We are wondering if we should use cold packs or a hot pack since its after the first 24 hours. Please let me know if you can tell me what is best. I would like only those who actually know to answer, not any guesses. Thanks.

I had a root canal done, well actually I never got it finished yet. Just the first part of drilling and temp put in about a year ago.Now I have a abessed right above the. The tooth never bothered me just throbbing and now it's swollen with a blister like thing. Does this mean I have to get a root canal all over again or just antibotics?

Okay, so with a previous question I had, which I deleted due to a person's ignorance, I ask another... I'm going to get my wisdom teeth out in December, but it's going to be really hard to get time off of work... I have Christmas break from school December 17 thru January 16.

If you've had your teeth out, how long did it take to heal? I usually heal pretty fast and my teeth are currently: 1 half-impacted, one all the way out, and the other two are impacted but they're growing straight... Can anyone give me advice on if I should wait until after Christmas and before I go back to school?


Sorry if I made this more confusing/difficult than it had to be.

At Walgreens the other day i saw this tooth whitener that said it made teeth like 10 or sometihng shades whiter. It had like a blue light that you put by your teeth for like a ½ hour. I think the brand was Rembrandt or Oral B and i think it was 50 $. Does it work? Is it worth it?

I am in desperate need of some cosmetic dentistry after Sept. 5th. Long story, but had a car wreck a long time ago and am just now reaping the "rewards". My extractions (seven) are going to be covered. But something to put BACK in my mouth isn't. Anyone???

I'm 15 years old, and after seeing two orthodontists, they both said I have an overbite. Therefore if I wanted to, I could get braces to fix them. They both unfortunately said I could not get Invisalign. And the orthodontist my parents want to use (if I get braces) only offer the ugly metal ones. I'm not that self-conscious about my smile right now, but the overbite is noticeable. Should I go through with it?

Those cotton swabs that are thick (like a tampon only way smaller) that dentists put by your tooth / gum to keep it dry, he went to take it out and I gagged, and started choking. I sat up real quick, and swallowed it on accident. Now my stomach feels funny but I think I'm just paranoid, and everywhere from my throat to my stomach feels like it did when I first swallowed it, kinda wierd.

First of all, there is a FOUL taste in my mouth that I just can't get rid of. Is this normal? What can I do about it? Also, I really did not expect them to hurt still today, since it has been 5 days since the surgery. How much longer can I expect them to hurt? Thanks for any advice!

The orthodontist never told us this, but my friend was. I know about fizzy drinks, etc etc.
