Dental - May 2007

I mean I take pretty good care of my teeth, but I do still have some trouble. I grew up in a small town with an old school dentist that did not believe in any kind of anesthesia. When we went to his office, we came out looking like we'd been butchered. Since then, I just HATE going to dentists. I finally muscled up enough strength to go and I regretted it more than anything. The dentist I went to wasn't giving me "advice" or "tips", he was flat out talking $hit about me and my "lack of concern for my teeth". He was saying things like "do you think you're teeth take care of themselves" and "how about you wait another twenty years before you come back and let's see what we have to work with then". This a$$hole seems to have forgotton that I'm the one PAYING his a$$!

What pisses me off even more is that I didn't even say anything because my nerves were shot from walking in the office in the first place. Now, I have to look for another dentist. Hell, maybe I should just get dentures...

I have seriously decaying teeth. Granit, they are scheduled to start getting fixed tomorrow, but I am wondering if anyone else has experineced what I am experiencing.

I am tired. My chest feels tight. Not hurting, just tight. I am also having multiple panic attacks daily. Obviously, my teeth are hurting. My neck hurts some. I get headaches. I am definately starting to feel it in my sinuses.

Like I said, I am getting them dealt with tomorrow morning. I was just wondering if anyone has ever felt all this due to bad teeth, and if so, how long after you got them fixed did you start to feel better?

Thanks in advance to all who answer!

i saw a commercial about dentures and smething you could do after you already have dentures. It was something about how you could anchor them. I forgot to write down the website and would really like to know it. If anybody has it I would really appreciate it. I am only 38 and have had dentures due to a medication and would like to find anything to anchor them down. Any help?!!! I am desperate.

i went to the dentist today and he told me i had cavities...this is the first time in my life i've had them and i'm really scared. i am terrified of the dentist but thankfully he caught them early and their is not a big hole...it doesnt even hurt. he said he'd laser them off and he would get rid of my 6 cavities in less than an hour

im really scared but i know i have to do it...any words of comfort for me or cavity stories to share?

if your going to put something mean like 'its the worst pain ever' then please dont...im already having a bad day and i dont want to cry again..

After searching all over the entire county of San Luis Obispo, CA, there is absolutely not one oral surgeon that accepts medi-cal due to me being on SSI for severe Lupus/Fibromyalgia /CFS and all that goes along with that--The only option I have is to go to one of those lovely clinics that has only gas to offer me. Has anyone ever had to go through this with or without gas and what was the experience like for you during the surgery? Also, what can I expect the recovery time to feel like? I am scared of the dentist as it is (more of the shots than anything) for some reason my gums where they put the needdle is the most horrible type of pain. Timing is crucial-I have put this off for a long time and I have heard not taking care of the teeth that need to come out can be very dangerous. Please, if anyone has any personal experience or knows some one that has, please let me know ASAP. Thank you in advance! Fmincali

I have many silver fillings from when I was younger, and I would like to have them replaced with the new tooth colored "safer" fillings. However, I have heard conflicting rumors that disturbing the old silver fillings is actually more harmful than having them. Can someone (a Dentist perhaps) shed some light on this for me.

i just got my tooth extracted and its my upper left wisdom tooth. my dentist had a hard time extracting it which took her an hour to do so because i keep telling her the anaesthesia doesnt seem to have work on me because it was so much painful. she gave me more than what i shoul have but the pain didnt stop. when she got my tooth extracted, she look at the tooth an told me i have an abnormal wisdom tooth for it has 4 roots (or legs?). Does a tooth only have a maximum of 3 roots (or leg?)?

Some veneers or porcelain caps look thick and "one flat color" others look gray/bluish. What veneer or porcelain is closest to the natural color of teeth and most natural? I don't want to spend a lot of money and be unhappy with the result.
