I just had two tooth extractions on 7/27/2006. I had a major infection on my lower jaw.I went to work the next day.I was not able to last more than 20 minutes.I am feeling so much pain.And was running a fever.So I ask my boss if I could go home.He was very rude and said to just go home.But not to come back unless,I had a note from my dentist.MY question is I am still feeling very sick,and still swollen.I am taking antibiotics that are just making me feel crappy! I just dont want to loose my job.How do I get a doctors note.My next appointment with my dentist is 8/2/2006.Stitches will be removed.That is the same day,that I am schedule to go back to work! I am afraid.

I injuried the incision site of where my wisdom tooth was extracted.
I had my lower wisdom tooth out 6 weeks ago, and things have been going fine. However, one day I was using a scaler (those pick things) to scrape some of the tarter of my lower molar in front of the extraction, and by accident I injuried the gumline where they made the orginal incision. It has been a week and I have this big tissue overgrowth in this area that is sore and bleeds when it is touched. II also have a bad taste in my mouth and a possible infection (I am on antibioitcs). I went to to my general dentist and he has not idea what happened and doesn't want to mess with it so I am being referred back to my oral surgeon. Any dentists out there? What did I do? Did I give myself dry socket, an infection? Do I have to get this tissue removed?

I just got my wisdom teeth out about 3 days ago. I'm not taking my vicodin anymore, but will alcohol do any harm to my mouth? I've heard it could cause more bleeding. Anybody know?

I know that it seems to be used alot in the US and the UK, but I've never heard much about there being laughing gas in Canada. I'm wondering do any dentists hear use it more specifically in the eastern province of Nova Scotia, because I know some people there and they'd never heard of it.

My two front teeth used to look great before getting braces, but now they are slightly facing opposite directions at the bottom rather than going straight down, and I don't like how it looks. Can anything be done about this?

I heard brushing your teeth too hard can be bad for your gums (gum recession), so how hard am I supposed to brush my teeth? Please give an example of how hard, like a comparison.
