If my tooth at the front is damaged, can the pain travel up the back of my jaw that would make me think that the back teeth were damaged? can one bad tooth make other "healthy" teeth feel sore?

I currently have partials, but really want to see about investing in implants. What will that cost me? Is there another alternative? I have 3-4 decent teeth left, so I'd need a full mouth workup.

There is a class action lawsuit for those who are victims. I don't know of any treatment or cure, but I need help. What facts can I give a dentist about my condition? Is jawbone replacement a requirement? What happens if I must have a tooth pulled? What is the 1/2 life of Fosamax? Any info appreciated, Thanks.

My teeth are very healthy and white except for a few minor cavities in the back and an impacted wisdom tooth. Can I have those problems taken care of AFTER the braces are applied? I need my teeth to get straightened as fast as possible! How much are braces with no insurance?

I have to get my impacted (unerupted) wisdom teeth out. I am 17 years old. Do I have the option of using something that numbs my jaw but doesn't make me unconscious like novacaine instead of general anaesthetics?

I know the expense difference, at my dentist only $100 difference. I want to know if one is more beneficial than the other. Is it worth the extra $100 for the light? My dentist said I would have instant results with the light vs a few days for the trays at 1 hour a day. Kinda leaning towards the Zoom light.

When I go to dentist's office to get teeth cleaning, I found out that they didn't change or sterilize the tools after service one customer.

Is this normal?

So, i had a root canal on a tooth a few month ago and the tooth actually broke and i had to have it pulled on monday. It is not almost FRIDAY and its still sore. Everyone says it should feel better but i'm still in a dull annoying somewhat throbbing pain. I have three stitches now and am supposed to get them out monday. Whats goin on? I want to go back to the dentist and ask for more pain meds but i dont want him to think i'm a "shopper." Will a dentist prescibe a second round of pain meds to someone who is still in pain, but with no signs of infection?

I'm going in tomorrow to get my wisdom teeth removed, but I know the doctor is lying when he says it won't hurt after the surgery and the only part that hurts is when they poke a needle through you. Can someone tell me your experience?
