Dental - September 2006

Hi, everyone!

Today when I was examining my teeth with my tongue, I discovered that my molars: the ones on the left and right - bottom jaw (the sixth ones counting from the middle of the lower jaw), I can feel that when I push the tooth from the furthest end toward the middle of the jaw, and then push to the other side (toward the pharynx), I can feel with my tongue some kind of click. I looked in the mirror trying to notice this click, I tried with my tongue, my hands, my tootbrush, but I JUST DON'T SEE IT BEING LOOSE. When I floss my teeth or eat, this feeling disappears and appears again in some time. I don't have any medical problems and I had my last cleaning about 2 months ago. My teeth are in a good shape. My gums are a little sensitive, but they are not bad at al. And I am 17 years old. If anyone knows (preferably destistry-oriented people), please tell me what it can be.

Thanks!
Eugene

Since I stopped using fluoride toothpaste, and now use herbal ones, I have not had bleeding gums.

when i chew gum or eat some things, my jaw makes like a clicking sound i guess is the best way to describe it, it's like at the joints where the maxilla (upper jaw bone) and mandible (lower jaw bone) connect i think

My daughter lost a bottom tooth about 2 months ago, and today I have noticed she has lost another tooth, next to the one she lost first. I can't find it anywhere, so I can only assume she has swallowed it as she was eating an apple. Not only that, the tooth on the otherside of the first one she lost is also loose.

Is this okay, as I am worried now, I can't get hold of the dentist, too late in the day.

A bit of a thick question, but I don't know anyone with a child this late in the day to ask.

Thanks for your help.

I have several bad teeth. Some broken off at the gum line. I have bad ones on both sides on the bottom. Usually, I will get a mild to moderate tooth ache before the swelling begins. However, once the swelling begins usually where the gums end at the inside of your cheek, I have no pain. The toothache will subside and the swelling is unreal. Some pressure goes along with this too. But agian no pain. I will take antibiotics usually for a week or so and it will go away only to return again. I have no insurance. I am concerned however that if I continue to let it go what could happen.

and the grown-up teeth have come in for both of them. But now the second grown-up tooth is loose. Has anyone had this happen? I called our dental clinic and will take her in for sick-call first thing on Monday but was wondering if this has happened to anyone elses child. She has no cavities or decay whatsoever on any of her teeth, and no gum problems, and I take her for her regular dental check-ups. She doesn't go around eating candy all the time and only drinks milk or water so I don't think we're doing anything that would harm her teeth. I'm so distressed by this, it's a brand new tooth!

I have to get my wisdoms out next friday and I am so scared! They made me watch this video about how you could die or have permenant nerve damage! I'm 21, how long do you think I will be in pain? And do they give you anti biotics to prevent infection? If so for how long do you have to take them? Also they gave me 2 vicadin to calm me down before the surgery, do you think it will help because I get panic attacks about things like this! Thanks!

I do not reccommend using mouthwash to people because of the large amount of alcohol that they contain. People use it after brushing and rinse all of the good flouride and calcium out of their mouth!!! its silly. Thats like brushing your teeth and rinsing out with water. all the goodness goes down the drain!
Why do you think companies tell you to use mouthwash and large amounts of toothpaste? to sell more of their products!! mouthwash is an unnecessary product that is just another expense. If you use a good toothpaste (pea size amount) dont rinse, and floss then that is enough. (unless you have been told otherwise by a dentist).

If you really want to use mouthwash for occasions when you dont have time to brush then buy one with FLOURIDE

Over a year ago i had a tooth pulled & to this day my gums are extrememly tender & ache all the time. This is on the left side upper where there are 3 teeth missing. I had no trouble with the other 2 extractions but this one is very painful even after all this time. I have had horror stories with dentists & am afraid to go back. I've tried anbesol,hot cloths,hydrogen peroxide rinsing,222's,extra strength tylenol & nothing works. Any suggestions?
