Dental - August 2006

i had my two front tooth out of my mouth.
i wore braces in my teeth for 1 and half years. my dentist removed two tooth from the top and two from the down.he said that he did that to create a space for the tooth to move into.everything went off good. But my entire face has changed. my lower jaw has gone inside and as a result its appearing bigger than my upper jaw. its completely looking awkward when some one see me side wards.
what can i do to regain my facial shape?

Is it possible that using toothpaste with peroxide in it could make my teeth sensitive? Has this ever happened to anyone?

I need an oral surgeon & I'm a disabled adult on SS & Medicare. Due to my teeths extreme condition and other health problems, a regular dentist will not work on my teeth. I am signed up for Donated Dental Services, but I am told it can take years to come up on their list. I cant survive that long. I have repeated infections, complicated by a heart condition, thyroid disease, and high blood pressure. I am in serious need so if anyone has a solution please reply. Oh I have written every elected official from the city level to the White house with no replies yet!!!

Hi,
My sister had her wisdom teeth removed about 4 weeks ago, July 28, 2006. She had her teeth cleaned on thursday, August 10th, 2006. Thereafter, her face has started to swell on the right side of her face. She had two extracted from the right side and one from the left. I am a little concerned as to if this is an infection or caused by the cleaning and will go away? Please help me out.
Thank you.

Well, my orthodontist (sp?) pulled out my baby tooth and it doesn't seem to be growing back - yet he says he can see it in the gums. I believe him, but it's been ages, why won't it come through? I can't even grin without having a big gap in my mouth!

Plus, on the right side of my mouth my tooth is really loose - the front of it is disconnected to my gum but the back of it is firmly attached to my gum, so I can't get it out!!

And on the left side of my mouth, a tooth which had just came loose came out in about 2 minutes because of eating a chewy cookie. I can't eat properly yet because it feels all... gummy. XD So I've got two gaps and one loose tooth.

How long do you think I'll have to wait for my only loose tooth to come out?
And is there an estimated time for waiting for a tooth to grow?
Personally, I think I didn't need that tooth being pulled out - it was too early.

The orthodontist gave me a very thick splint about 3 months ago to wear at night. It has helped a little bit, but very slowly. Every time I go to the orthodontist, he just tells me to wear the appliance more. I would like to explore more treatment methods by going to a TMJ specialist, but our insurance doesn't cover it and my mom doesn't want to pay thousands of dollars. My jaw has locked more than twice in the past and it clicks almost every time I open my mouth. Would a TMJ specialist be a good option?

I'm in the first 1/3rd of getting a complete dental work up, the last 3 weeks I've had 2 sessions a week lasting just over 2 hours each. The last was this past wednesday. Thursday night my throat became a bit sore and worsened over the last few days. There's no swelling or other typical signs of cold/virus. Could this be sore's caused by the dental work (ie decay draining down the throat). I've been rinsing with salt water & the last few weeks I'd been brushing with salt water and baking soda as part of my treatment. I haven't felt much relief and though I have a high pain threshold I can hardly sleep at night, even with otc and prescription pain killers. What could the cause be?

I have tooth trouble . . . I am twelve years old and I still have four baby teeth to loose. My orthodontist and dentist both keep telling me that they really need to fall out soon because I have to get my second phase of braces soon. I was supposed to get them at the beginning of August, but I couldn't because I still have baby teeth. I am just really afraid to pull them. Please don't ask me why because I just really don't know. They are just barely hanging in my mouth. I don't know what to do. Whenever I eat, they really bother me and I can barely chew my food. Whenever I bump them on accident, they start to bleed. Please help me!!
