Dental - March 2007

Does anyone know anyone who has had braces before or who hads them? I want to know if you canget them to close a gap in your two fron teeth and how many years this will take. Does the dentist have to remove any teeth? I am already getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Give details please. Will this hurt? Will I get any injections if yes how to cope with the injections. Afradi of the dentist on top of all this.

Also I would like to know if the pay is going to be dramatically different between going to a two year school and a four year school.
Thank you

My little sister has kind of crooked teeth, she is 12 years old right now. But we haven't went to the dentist in like 4 years. Will she have to get brases? Or will the teeth clear up on their own?

I have had an abcess before and i was given antibiotics by my Doctor. I was browsing the net about info on absesses when i found Echinacea tablets which apparently deal with swelling and bacterial infections etc. also i found some tablets called Serraplus.
Could anyone please tell me if any of these tablets work?

i have a crown and ive had it for about 5 years after i had an accident and lost one of my front teeth. my crown is supier glued in (not really but the strongest glue the dentists have) so taking it out would hurt because the root is under the crown. anyways i have a brown, yellow stain thats on the tooth and i want to find a way to remove it without going to the dentist.

I have really bad gums & my doc recommended that I get a sonicare. Well I did and it still bleeds every time I brush. In fact more than it did when I brushed manually, but maybe its just because my gums are so bad? I was just curious how long before til I expect to see an improvment w/my gums.?

She has infection in the bone supporting her 6 upper front teeth. My dental insurance covers only $1000 per patient per year. I have been quoted a cost of over $8000 for the procedure to remove infection, and graft bone. The Endodontist will not bill my Health Insurance company. If I get a letter of Medical Necessity is it possible that they will cover it? Should I take her to a regular doctor for evaluation and the letter? Please, any input would be appreciated.

Alright so i'm gettin my braces off at the end of March (YAY!)
but i have several questions

1. I noticed my back gums are starting to swell more than usual (i floss, use mouthwash, and brush well). Once i get my braces off will my gums go back to normal?

2. will there be any white spots where brackets were? I'm really worried about that one.

3. I have to get a bonded retainer (permanent). I already have it on bottom teeth and am getting it on top teeth as well. But my god it's like impossible to floss (even with superfloss) Gaah!

I have yellow teeth that have been like that forever (hereditary?). I don't have money for an expensive procedure but would be willing to try products. I have had Listerine whitening recommended to me but would like some other opinions preferrably with reasons or personal experience.

Did you have to have all of your good teeth pulled to get the dentures? If you did, did the dentist actually put you out under anesthetic, or was it done with just a local novocain shot?

Did you get your dentures the same day your teeth were pulled?
