Dental - December 2006

I tried "looking for it" since it is rather costly to replace it, but no luck so far- any chance it will turn up and how long can it take? I don't need replacement that badly b/c it was over a dental implant and not a tooth, so the part that is sticking out is not getting damaged (it's titanium) but I will need to do something about it eventually.

Hi there. I'm having my wisdom teeth removed next week. I am not concerned about having pain, because I have a high tolerance for pain. Instead, I really don't like idea of being put under an anesthetic, particularly for such a minor procedure as this is. (If it was something HUGE like open heart surgery, that's a whole different story!) Anywho, my dentist said he would never remove a patient's wisdom teeth while they're awake. If any of you know, please tell me exactly what goes into removing impacted wisdom teeth. I'm just trying to figure out why my dentist is so rigid about this issue.

I had an abcessed tooth a week ago, with the anitbiotics, and all the pain meds didnt work at all. But the lady at the drugstore suggested clove oil, the kind you make hard candy with in the little bottles. made a compress after being awake nearly 36 hours, 5 mins after using i was out like a light. numbed it and i slept like a baby. why did this work?

If so how bad did it hurt? I’m really scared about the pain I’m going to have to go through (I’m NOT going under, I’m just getting shots :-S ) and if I go in there knowing what I should expect I might not be as scared. So if you've had your wisdom tooth (or teeth) pulled can you please give me a general idea of the pain I’m going to have to endure??? Thanks :)

How do I get over this fear?

The only reason I can think why I'm scared is due to when he drilled too deep

I want my top set of teeth to look straight, and at the moment they are nearly straight apart from the two teeth on either side of the front two teeth have been pushed back a little.
Can you get attachments at the dentist that go on teeth so sort of fill in the gap, so the tooth its going on is still there and healthy, but attached without pulling out teeth, or even having injections, just sort of stuck on?
I don't even know if this is possible, I just thought that would be perfect for me if it were as I never want to have injections or teeth out if i can help it!

Would be great to have advise, and If this is possible, does anyone know where I could get it done and how much it would cost? Or if its not done, if any dentists know if its possible to do anyway?! Thanks!! x

today I noticed something sticking out of the back right socket where they took the wisdom tooth out, I though it was the stitches but it kept poking me so I looked again and it was some material sticking out, I pulled on it and it was a peice of material about 2 inches long with a peice of wire in it so you can bend it and it stays in place, I assume the dr. put it there to help soak up the blood is it ok that I removed it, the site is now bleeding a little but nothing serious, should I be alarmed or anything? is it normal?

does anyone know of how much a dental hygienist make starting in/or around the new york area? Not so much in the city like manhattan because i know cost of livng is higher there. Anybody know how it is around the capital of new york (albany, colonie, schnectady,rochestor,troy,saratoga....) Also does anyone know how a DH would make after taxes? I know when people say they make X amount of dollars an hour, I wonder how much they end up getting taxes are taken off?????? I figure if you take an average $5 off an hour of what one makes and then thats how much one is left with. so for example if someone is getting paid $25 an hr, then after taxes he/she would be left with an estimated $20 an hour. Iam not sure if Iam accuratly correct.any comments, suggestions.............comments

I have returned from the dentists having not been since I was about 19 or so and I am 34 now!, I needed a root-canal on my lower jaw and a broken wisdom tooth removed on my upper jaw. I decided to put my money where my mouth is and went private as the NHS i'd visited did not inspire my with confidence. I did opt for sedation but in the end the dentist said she'd only needed to sedate me a little bit and I was fine. So for all people that worry about it...Don't, the relief is a lot better than the pain of toothache and if you need sedation then ask for it but once they have numbed up your face you only feel a slight pulling and prodding and the slight nip of a tool. It is the mark of a good dentist to make you feel relaxed and i did. I will go there again for sure. Bottom line...Don't be afraid, as it is the fear of the unknown that is making you feel afraid not the dentist. I am really happy as up till now I was a real dental-phobe.
