Since the beginning of April I have had three root canals and one extraction. Each time I have one tooth worked on, another starts hurting. I feel like I'm going crazy. Dentist started a root canal last week and will finish it up next week but it doesn't feel any different. What is going on? I can't afford to keep having work done until the pain stops.

It hurts pretty bad still and it's been almost exactly 48 hrs since it's been extracted. I don't smoke. I have a funny taste in my mouth as well...I've had extractions in the past, but I can't really remember how long the pain lasts for. I am terrified of getting a dry socket! So, is that what's happening or is the pain normal after 48 hrs? Please help!

I just got braces a few months ago. And everyone is telling me to chew gum. But i don't want to have any problems. Should I try chewing it?

I am 23 years old and have never been to the dentist bc of the low income of my parents. Recently, I recieved a good job, with dental insurance. I also noticed discoloration of my molars and one tooth in general is putting me in a lot of pain.
My problem comes from the fear and embarassment I feel about going for the first time. Insurance only pays 50% for things such as filling, root canals, also. I am making myself sick over going. I feel like a total loser. Any advice that could make it seem better would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm an adult with Damon 3 for almost 18 months. 3 weeks+ ago,I was instructed to use rubber bands to move back my lower set of teeth. I'd used them faithfully. Few days ago, I was then told to include another set of bands to bring the top & bottom teeth verticaly closer.

Now, I notice that my lower set of teeth have started sloping downwards from left to right, giving me a lopsided appearance! My orthodontist has verified that I've been using the bands correctly, but says that several braces on my lower teeth will have to be repositioned. Is it normal to have to reposition braces at this point of the treatment?!!!

I most likely be alright by Wednesday? My app. is wed. for the tooth extraction, then a week or two for the 2 root canals
I was put on anti-biotics today. So I'm free from danger, right?
Yeah, I know I shouldn't have waited long, however I don't get tooth pain like most people, and if it does happen it's SO MILD!
Feeling weak but taking acidophilis, bromelain, vitamin C, bee pollen, multi vitamin, tea tonics (nettle leaf, milk thistle) and cod liver oil.
Rest + these are making me feel a lot better :o)
But still feel weak--do you think everything will be okay until Wednesday?
And if you ever had more than one rotten tooth in your mouth, such as the examples above, what was YOUR experience like? [hey, bet you never let that EVER happen again, lol! Yep, learned me lesson good]

I'm 12 years old, and a few months ago I broke my tooth into three pieces eating cereal (I was eating it WAY too fast and it was a little hard). I got two parts out, and the new tooth already grew in...I pulled the third part really hard today (after a month or so) and it's just barely hanging there...the problem is that the adult tooth already grew in, and one part of the broken tooth is barely loose at all! I got it to stop bleeding, but it seems impossible to pull out. Please help! (and don't tell me to tie a string around it and then around a door, or any of that stuff...I usually make it really loose, and then pull it out with a tissue, but it's really hard with this one...)

I'm 14 and all of my wisdom teeth are already in. But now they're starting to hurt and the side of my cheek (by my wisdom tooth) is hurting really bad that i've been taking tylenol to make it stop. IS it even possible to have your wisdom teeth removed at age 14? Will this go away without taking care of it? Everytime i chew on something it hurts really bad. Please help, thanks!

I'm a 10 year old girl and ive lost 8 teeth!One of my teeth is very very loose but i just noticed last night when my best freind was over spending the night. She said her tooth was really lose so we went into my bathroom and her tooth came right out followed by tons of blood! The thing that makes it hard for me is that the two teeth beside my loose tooth are both fully grown so it's hard to twist it!So what would be the best way for me to pull it out without screaming!

My front lower teeth are behind my front top teeth, and they are really growing inward. What should I do? Why is it doing this?

earlier this week, i started getting really bad pains in the upper back right side of my mouth.... i assumed it was one of my wisdom teeth coming in... the pain was mild at first.. but then it just got worse... i tried taking extra strength Tylenol, Advil, and i went to walmart and bought some Ambesol to put on it, but nothing was helping... i tried to go to sleep that night and i did.. for only about an hour an a half! ..the pain got so horrible, it woke me up and i couldnt get back to sleep.. i started getting headaches and earaches on the right side of my face where the tooth pain was... Finally, it was about 4 in the morning and the pain was so unbearable that i went to the hospital... they told me i had a "Dental abscess" and my back tooth was cracked... they wrote me up a prescription for Penicillin and Percocet, and its been helping with the pain, but i dont know what comes next? I know i need to see my dentist.. but what do they do about abscessed teeth? ...someone inform me!!

After a root canal, i had a filling. How do u notice if a filling fell off? Do i necesarily need a crown?! Can i brush on a root canaled tooth? My cheeks is somewhat swollen and inside feels stiff. Is that normal? How can i relieve that? It is quite uncomfortable especially when i have to laugh my cheek aches.
Next treatment i need to clean my teeth and then another filling. My dentist recommended further decisions after that next treatment whether crowning or not. Please give me the headups.

I just started going to this particular dentist and she told me that I needed to have my wisdom teeth removed. The bottom two. She told me that they could schedule it just as soon as my fillings were complete. I was unsure about it but not because of her...just because of the fact that any type of surgery terrifies me. Then on top of that my boss told me a horror story about having gone to the dentist her family had used for years for her wisdom teeth extraction and how she was in so much pain afterwards for days and weeks. So she had to go to an oral surgeon, found out something hadn't been done right, and then had to have it corrected. Which is better? What questions should I ask my new dentist about the procedure? I don't want to offend her but I also don't want to be like my boss.
