How long will it take for my wisdom teeth gums to stop bleeding. I just got them removed yesterday afternoon. There really is not any pain, nothing unbearable anyway. Also, I am not even a tiny bit swollen, they said I may swell on the 2nd or 3rd day though...is that true?

I read up on Periodontitis w/ Wikipedia. Once significant bone loss has already happened, can a dentist save a person teeth. I mean some bone loss over decades is normal right? If the person already lost a large amount due to disease, then is it not inevitable the teeth be lost after many yrs because not enough bone will be left to support the teeth?

If so, how many of you are struggling to find jobs? If you do work, how often are you working?

I am unemployed. I graduated in June 2006, put out 200+ resumes/applications and nothing. I even applied at Walmart, Meijer, and other places to get some kind of work, but no one has called me yet. It's frustrating.

I have filled in here and there at two different offices but that isn't steady work, although I am very appreciative of whatever I can get.

The economy in Michigan stinks right now. Our state has 11 or 12 dental hygiene schools already, and another one is going to be open soon. Since Granholm got re-elected, I am considering moving out of state. I would much rather stay here in the state, for I like it a lot, have family here, etc. but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

I think that if my college told me that the job market in this state was crummy for dental hygienists, I would have gone to school to be an RN instead, but I do LOVE dentistry a lot.

I've been flossing for several yrs now. I recently decided to use a water pick. To my surprise, I noticed some bleeding when I tried it for the 1st time. Is this normal. I would expect this reaction on someone who has not flossed.

I am having a hard time finding credible sources on the internet as to what is the best kind of toothbrush I should buy. Which Soft-Bristle toothbrush is recommended most by Dentists? How can I tell what size head I need to use to get the best possible brush?

I'm petrified of dentists but my teeth are totally disgusting. I've finally got to the point where I am going to make an appointment but now I'm seriously thinking about backing out again because of the shame I feel. I know I should have gone for regular check-ups etc but my phobia kept me away. Now my daughter-in-law has promised to come with me for support and encouragment but I keep thinking the dentist will be so disgusted at the state of my mouth that he will tell me off. I know I deserve to be told off but I'm so scared, and if I get criticized that will just put me over the edge again. I know I'm being silly but does anyone have any comfort to offer? Do dentists yell and shout-my childhood dentist regularly yelled at me while I was going through the whole braces thing, he even threw my braces across the surgery once, and I used to go faithfully every month for tightenings, every 6 months for check ups etc. I'm more scared of being yelled at than being treated I think.

yesterday i had the fourth from the last tooth tooken out on the top and bottom of the right side of my face. they arent my baby teeth and i needed them out to get braces. but ive noticed the tooth next to the tooth that got tooken out is wiggly. is this normal? the dentist numbed my gums like 5 times and yanked my teeth out by wiggling it and yanking it out with this metal thingy. im scared my tooth will fall off. the tooth that is wiggly kind of has this pain in it and is kind of sensitive when i bite down. PLEASE HELP ME. if theres something i could do to prevent my tooth from falling, then please tell me! and if my tooth is wiggly, does that mean its going to eventually fall out? ahhhhhhh.

I had a root canal over 3 wks ago which had an abcess. The abcess is still there. How long before I worry? When I had the root canal dentist said it should go away within a few weeks. She came highly recommended. It's been over 3 wks, it hasn't even gotten smaller. I had some pearcing pain today. Not like before the RC but it's something. I'm scared.... When should I worry. I go in next week on Wednesday for my crown and I was told by my friend who is an RDA not to do it until the abcess is gone.

Is there a medical reason for this or does it just taste fresh?

What remedies have u actually used that worked? whether it be beauty, home, etc.

i have actually just recently started using BAKING SODA to wash my teeth, to get them whiter, i start off witha small childs toothbrush, wet it, then dip it in the baking soda and brush my teeth top and bottom, then rinse, then sometimes grab the balled up baking soda caused by the wetness of dipping, and scrub it on my teeth, then i rins again, and then brush regularly with toothpaste. I started this on the 7th of november , and have already seen a drastic change in my teeth color! i didnt think it would work but i was willing to try anything...
