I had a lower molar pulled June 5. Developed into a dry socket. Dentist packed it four times in the course of ten days. It is now healing without packing and am rinsing with a special syringe after meals. However, I am still in pain not so much in the socket itself but in the areas around the socket and thoughout the jaw area on the affected side. This has been one of the worst experiences in my life. Pain, sleepless nights, etc. Dentist prescribed Vicodin which helps but I don't want to continuously take that. Anyone out there that has had this experience please tell me how long does this last!! and when can I expect to really feel normal again.?

I have NO insurance. I got a check up last week, and it turned out that I need a root canal retreatment. The denist I went to, referred me to a couple of ENDODONTICS, but they want 950-1200 DOLLARS!! Is that the cheapest there is? Or is there a dentist school where graduates are practicing on people's teeth? I am in Florida. Thanks for all answers!

Also when I was done brushing my teeth this morning, what looked like a blood clot came out of my mouth. I thought my risk for dry socket was over.

i got my braces off maybe 4 months ago. and when i got them off, they were great and i was so content with them. all of my teeth were in place, straight, and there was just a very small gap in the middle of my top and bottom teeth. my ortho gave me my retainer about 4 days later... and he said my teeth shifted just a tad, but he fixed it up a little and it was nice again. i started wearing my retainer probably 24 hourrs a day for about a week. the next week i wore it at school for probably an hourish, & then i took them off & didn't put them on until i got home at around 3 - 4 but wore them for the rest of the night. a few weeks later, i started wearing them 24 hours but they were starting to get loose and my ortho said if it was loose that i could tighten up the curved wire on teh retainer by pinching it a little. soon i noticed that the gap in them middle was getting bigger and that the bottom teeth were almost the same distance as the top! tooth 4 (in the pic) didn't touch the top

I was diagnosed with TMJ disorder years ago, I know first hand the pain associated with it. About 5 days ago, the left side of my jaw has been hurting so bad, so much so that I am unable to bite down all the way, in fact my entire bite is extremely off. I can barely chew food and when I do eat, I chew mostly with my front teeth. Nothing specific happened to cause this, it just started hurting the other night. I thought maybe an infection, but then I thought, wouldn't it hurt to the touch? Wouldn't I be swollen, neither of those things are occuring. What on earth can this horrible pain be from? I have a dentist appointment on Monday, I hope it's something treatable. It's very annoying! It's nothing like the pain I have with the TMJ, completely different.

He just wiped the tooth with gauze and applied some transparent stuff on top of that filling. Should I be worried? What is the mechanism of this method?

Yes... I have all three! :[ I think I am going to have my wisdom teeth removed soon and today I discovered that I have a cavity. I also need braces. Would it be possible that when they put me under to remove my wisdom teeth they fix my cavity and put on my braces? I know it will be painful but I'm already 16 and I don't want to wait any longer to get my braces!

...and how old are you?

I'm 24 and I've never had a filling, and am determined to keep it this way! I want to know the likelihood of me getting through my life without needing a filling, i.e who's the oldest person here who's never had a filling?!
