Dental - March 2007

I had a tooth extraction and bone graft done on the top back molar (next to where my wisdom teeth would be) about 48 hours ago. I am in excruciating pain and nothing is working. I have been given vicodin es and motrin 800. I have been icing it and everything else they told me to do. Is there anything else i can do to releive it?

I have braces. But i also have two oddly shapen teeth either side of my two front teeth. They are thick and slope downwards and outwards. My orthadontist said she can do nothing with them. But that it would be up to my dentist or a sepcialist to sort them out. I get my braces off in just over a year i hope. But what would they do? And how much would it cost? Luckily I got my braces on the NHS for free. But my dentist turned private. How much would my parents have to pay?

My wisdom tooth has to come out.I'm scared of the pain....what should I take for it so I don't get uncomfortable later? And I'm scared of the stitches especially the nylon ones which have to be taken off afterwards.Anyone has experienced that? Please explain how painful that procedure of taking off stitches would be?Can I get anesthesia for that?
Thanks for your help.

i've been told i need a TPA and i've read up about it on the internet and it says that they're painful and awful to have in your mouth. Does it depend on your pain tolerance, or do they really hurt? do they prevent you from doing anything?

I had mine pulled yesterday afternoon. I work in customer service and it hurts to talk right now. Would I be a complete wimp if I call in sick, or is that pretty normal? Thanks for the advice.

I am 34 yrs, I am suffering from bleeding gums. Few RCTs have also been done. But still my gum bleeds. One of the doctor told me that there is no solution for gum disease. I have to massage with gumpaint. I would like to know is there any solution in allopathy or in any other alternative medicines. Kindly help.

I grind my teeth a lot and I have a mouthguard that a dentist gave me several years ago and told me to wear at night only. Now, I even grind my teeth during the day, should I wear the guard during the day as well?

I brought my 3 years old son to the dentist for the first time yesterday, it went great. When we left, they told me that I have to bring him back to have 2 crowning and 4 filling done. Since he had a good experience yesterday, I really don't want to scare the boy for the rest of his life if it's not necessary. Since I myself never had any crowning done on my teeth I would know how serious this is. Please give me your opions to see if I should follow through and get it over with, or wait until it really bothers him. Thanks in advance!
