My 10 year old daughter is getting dental sealants. I have found out lots of info about the procedure, but I can't find any info on how long she should wait to eat afterwards. Is there a waiting period for her to eat and if so how long?

having read this article about using Laser Treatment:

"Traditionally, gum disease was treated with a procedure called “scaling and root planing”. The procedure was about as unpleasant as it sounds. Performed by the dental hygienist, scaling and root planing involved using hand instruments to remove plaque and tartar. Unfortunately, since this technique didn't remove the biofilm that houses the bacteria, the effectiveness of scaling and root planning has always been somewhat lacking.

Since we are committed to clinical excellence, we treat periodontal disease with the most advanced technology available in modern dentistry, micro-ultrasonic instruments and lasers.

This combined use of technologies actually eliminates the infection rather than “manage the disease”, which has been the traditional form of treatment.

How does the laser work?
A diode laser is used in combination with a micro-ultrasonic hand instrument that...

Has anyone had braces? How was it like to get them removed? I'm so sick of braces and I'm getting impatient. This is the 2nd year I've had them and I'm praying I get them off soon. How long did it take u 2 get them off?

specifically interested in UCLA-so, if you have had dental work done there could you please give me feedback on how safe you felt with having a student work on you and how long it took and whether you were satisfied and had an over-all positive experience or not. Of course, going to a skilled dentist is ideal, but the costs are too high and are much lower at the school and I'd like some feedback-weighing the pros and cons. Thanks

I have never had this before after having white fillings. My mouth has been so painful and my lips really swollen , gums have been bleeding and have since developed into white seeping ulcers , my teeth feel gritty on the outside where the fillings have been done and my lips have blistered up with 5 sores . Does any one have any ideas what it could be . I had the fillings last Monday and mouth still really sore ! I have to have 4 more tomorrow but feel anxious about going through this again . Any ideas what it could be ? Thankyou .

Why does rinsing with warm salt water help after oral surgery? What properties does salt have that make it helpful, and what does the rinsing accomplish? Thanks.

Do they think that insulting me is a good way to get a helpful response? Do they check my bio first? (Just click on the photo to the left.) Do they realize that the photo I use as my icon is a dental x-ray?

Folks, there ARE quite a few "real" dentists, hygienists and assistants here who just enjoy helping people. Most mail that I get is highly intelligent and the people are appreciative. Some of it, though, is actually degrading and argumentative. It's okay if you don't believe I am a dentist, but please direct your nasty comments towards the person who you are actually angry with and spare me the annoyance.

I'm 16, and I have a lot of cavities. (Something I really regret, T_T) However, some of my larger teeth at the back of my mouth (not wisdom teeth) are still my baby teeth. My dentist tells me that they aren't going to fall out and new ones aren't going to grow out and that I will have the teeth I have now for the rest of my life. She says it is because I'm already 16. Is this true?
