Dental - September 2006

When a digital dental x-ray is taken, the CCD sensor is contained in a while transparent plastic holder, and the patient holds it by a handle. It is known the bone and the teeth block some of the x-rays during exposure. What if the patient’s mouth is open during the exposure? Will the scattered x-ray damage the organs and the tissues in the throat, since these parts are more vulnerable to x-ray?

im having this. irritatiing sickness. which i dont know at the time. ill just describe the thing. and hoping you could help me to find out. if i really have one.

my lips are dryer than it usual apperance. and its my first time to have this ultimate dryness. im also having this difficulty in smiling and eating large foods(like hamburgers). everytime i stretch my lips. it creates cuts and bleeding.(in the cut) and its also flaky. and my lips became larger than its usual appearance. its also painful. but not that hard. i dont have those spots. but i have one. and had 3. before. im not sure, if its because of the herpes. i think its just pimples.(it has its yellowish layer) the sorroundings of my lips(the one below the nose, and the one near the chin) are itchy. and becoming flaky lately. it has its small bumps. but the bumps doesnt have fluids on it.

i saw the pix of the oral herpes. and it doenst look as mine. but i can feel the qualification. is this herpes or just chapped?

They're such wimps! They leave it years to go and when they do make an appointment, they sit worrying that they'll have to have loads of teeth out, because they've put off going so long. It's their own fault.

I had my big molar root canaled about 22 hours ago. My jaw still aches and there is a constant throbbing in my tooth. Is this normal. If so how long should it persist. I am back to the dentist in about another 22 hours for treatment on another tooth, should the throbbing and jaw ache be over by then.

I'm 15, and have basically been messed about by an orthodontist for the past few years, who tried to convince me i didn't really need them. I'm not all that self-conscious about my smile, and there's one tooth i would only really be bothered about changing. However, my family keeps telling me it will be worth it, but my friends say it doesn't look like i need braces. Is it really worth going through it all when my gut feeling says no?or will i regret it?

I´m taking antibiotics and dentist said I must finish the course before the tooth can be extracted. The appointment for that is next Tuesday, thank god! Problem is, my throat is getting worse and worse. I couldn´t sleep last night due to the pain and discomfort. And this morning I found that I couldn´t even talk! I´ve lost my voice. Has this ever happened to any one? What can I do? just wait? Should I worry?...

It doesn't happen for months, then something will trigger it off, and it is most obvious when brushing teeth, since touching that area hurts!

I am a dental assistant, so I know the behinds the scenes reasons why dentistry is so expensive. I am amazed at the number of people on here who call dentists money hungry and complain about the amount of money that dentists make, but a dentist isn't so bad when that same person has a horrible toothach. Do patients really think that the money they pay a dentist goes directly into their pocket? Do patients not realize that everything that they see in that office, from the drills to the anesthetic down to a single piece of paper, costs money, and that a dentist has to pay for all of this, rent, lab bills, utilities, salaries, malpractice insurance, continueing ed courses, repairs to computers and other equipment, before he pockets a dime of the money patients pay him? I can tell you, if I went to school for 8 years, paid over $300,000 for dental school, and had to deal with the issues that dentists do, I would expect to take home over $1000,000 a year. Wouldn't you?

It's so painful because my cheek rests against it all the time, and therefore the bracket has rubbed a huge hole in my cheek. It hurts so bad and it's really hard to eat. Any ideas for pain relief besides orajel or orabase?
