Dental - October 2006

If a dentist could have a small light weight camera that showed the image of the patients teeth onto a Laptop screen would it be of any benefit versus the mirror?
If they could show the patient by playing it back to them and explaining what they found would this be something dentists would use?
If the price was low and the tool was no heavier than a mirror with more flexability would they be interested?
Does this exist already?

My wisdom tooth is patruding and can not come in, and it is breaking the tooth next to it. Nerve!!!!!

2006-10-13 16:34:49 · 17 answers · asked by 420chick 1

This happened about a month ago, I am on the medical card, so my selection of dentists is extremely limited. I have been calling this dentist constantly to see if there have been any cancellations. When she filled it for me she told me the nerve was exposed, I don't want to loose my tooth, I cannot get into any other dentist any sooner and I'm sorry, but to me irreguardless as to wether I'm on the medical card or not, this dentist got paid for doing a job and she didn't do it!!! What legal action can I take? I want my tooth fixed!!!!!!!! It hurts!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dentist said the my right-lower wisdom tooth has a cavity, it's broken and it hasn't fully emerge from the gum. Can this get any worst. Is there no hope for my tooth?

for some reason my eyes turn red/blood shot most of the time I brush my teeth, it goes away after I get some coffee, this mostly happens in the morning, but sometimes it happens no matter what? Is the mercury leaking?

My teeth have always looked straight so i thought they were fine. I went to dentist last week and they said i have a cross bite and if i wanted perfection should get braces. Mum and i decided no because my teeth look perfect from the front and didnt cause any pain etc.
NOW.... for the last 2 days my bottom front teeth have been really hurting and feel like they are being pushed back. This discomfort is al the time and wont go away. I have always had a gap in my two front teeth and now it looks like im getting one in my two bottom teeth! its all happening so quick.
Does this mean braces are going to be the only things that will fix this or could this be something else to do with gums. I am so worried. PLease help.

I wear braces, can I drink beer/alcohol without worrying about staining as long as I rinse my mouth with water right after drinking?

Imagine your two front teeth... count three teeth away to your left, that one. It has a crack at the top, running along it (not downwards), and hurts when I prod it (as you do), or when I chew etc.

Am I going to lose my tooth =( ??

I had complex le fort 1 maxillary osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomies of the mandible almost two years ago. I never regained my opening and my left side of my tongue and gums is numb except for some painful feeling. I also do not have any sense of taste on the left side of my mouth. I am not getting many answers from my surgeon.

At what age do they come through and what's all this that it hurts a lot? what does it feel like?

2006-10-13 08:01:18 · 14 answers · asked by stupid 1

Okay, logically, I know the broken, infected, painful, nerve-exposed wisdom tooth will not feel better if I beat up my own face, but I've been living on Tylenol for five years and I've been told by two different dentists that the thing needs to be extracted surgically. However, the oral surgeons seem to insist on doing a consultation first, and then they can work me in an appointment sometime in the next few months.

I have a stomach ulcer and was hospitalized last year because I took asperin to help with the pain (didn't know about the ulcer at the time), and now, the ONLY over-the-counter medicine I can take is Tylenol. And Tylenol is worthless when up against the pain that has kept me up for two days.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this done sooner? If I go to the ER, would someone at the hospital be able to remove the tooth?

Should I tell him to get a nose job? I swear it's like a big rubber ball. it's at least 5 in. long.

It's the gel and applicator type.
Question is, is the gel supposed to be so thick? It's really goopy, like soft wax. Makes the applicator a joke to use. I'm thinkin perhaps the kit is expired.
Anyone else have an experience like this? Thanks for your answers!
