Dental - February 2007

Well a few days ago my lower wisdom tooth started to get swollen around the gums. Now it has gotten so bad I can't sleep and I can barely open my mouth either. So I have been using listerine adn ambesol but it only works for a while. I was wondering if it is a wisdom tooth that is too big for my mouth or an abcess on my gum. I also don't have insurance and can't afford a dentist I don;t know what I should do but I need the pain to stop someone please help!!!!

Okay, so I have this tinny taste in my mouth. I can't figure out why. I'm not on any medications... I have one theory - could it be caused by artificial sweetner?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have pulled all of my loose teeth out when it was time and I was kind of freaked out to do it. Well, right now, I have a tooth that is pretty loose. The roots in the front part have already come out and it bleeds a lot! I don't know if I should pull it out now or wait longer. The roots in the back have kind of come out but not quite. I know that this question sounds pretty gross, but I really kinda need to know.... NOW!!!!!! lol :)

i'm 33 and have my wisdom teeth(since i was 18). i never experienced pain and so after hearing horror stories decided to keep them in. however over time my bottom row of teeth "lean" out a bit. i have perfectly straight teeth, never needed braces. even with the lower row of teeth "leaning" i have a great smile. BUT i drool now, snore, and am wondering if i should go ahead and get them pulled. should i or shouldn't i?

I have a small dilemma. The center lines on my top and bottom sets of teeth do not line up. (AKA- my midline is not "perfect".) Now, in some cases, this can cause the chin to grow crooked- that hasn't happened. That's not the problem. The problem is- throughout my life, I have had a large problem with headaches. I stay hydrated, I take aspirin, I do EVERYTHING I CAN. However, today at the dentist, I have been told that this uncentered midline could be the cause of these headaches. They described the area the dental-problem-caused headaches would occur in- and it matched up with my headaches. The dentist said that to fix this problem would take a year with top AND bottom braces. This is the only thing wrong with my mouth and teeth. Otherwise I am fine. I wouldn't need to have teeth pulled or anything. I hate my headaches with a passion, but I am afraid of braces and have heard horrible horror stories. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me decide! What do you think?

The teeth in question are my molars. I have cracks in two of them. Should I just have them extracted instead?

Hi,

I am a dental assistant, but in a practice where dental sedation is not used. If anyone requires sedation they are referred to a specialist clinic, so do excuse me for not knowing about sedation in dentistry.

Today, I was told that I need two roots removed, but both are not easy for my normal dentist to extract. This is because the only way of getting one of the roots out is to go through the side of my gum. So I am now being referred to a specialist clinic.

I was given 3 options: local anaesthetic, sedation or GI (general anaesthetic). Personally, it sounds quite a painful experience, so I opted for the sedation.

I'm just wondering how exactly sedation is administered and more information about it. Apparently, I will still be conscious during the procedure and will be able to respond.

As dental sedation is not something we offer at the practice I work at, I'm not overly familiar with the technique.

I'd be grateful for any advice anyone can give.

Kind regards.

I know my wisdom teeth are impacted, and I have a consultation booked in 2 months for removal. But for the past 3 or 4 days, the spot where the top right wisdom should be has been absolutely KILLING me! I take 4 Advil at a time, and it doesn't do much. It's inturrupting my sleep and I'm just in SEVERE pain. Today it feels a lot better, but I still have a little pain and a lot of pressure. Plus this morning when I woke up my gum area was really swollen and was leaking a little puss. Can this happen from an impacted wisdom tooth trying to break thru under my back molar, or is it an abscess?

My wife holds me to a different standard then she does her friends. I am supposed to be her best friend but if she treated me like her friends and relatives she would not have any. She treats me worse then a poor relative.
