Dental - June 2007

I have my first wisdom tooth coming in, I'm 21 years old. It started to hurt eairly yesterday. I looked in the mirror with a flash light and I can see a little bit of white, and its all swollen and raised up. The other side (the right side) of my lower jaw is flat, no sign of a tooth coming in, and my tops are both flat. Should I call the dentist?

Will it work out if you want to take dentistry and you are left handed? My mom tells me that it would be a hassle.

I don't want to get a root canal and crown. I know several people who've had a lot of problems getting that kind of work done on their teeth. So why didn't the dentist recommend extraction? It is a tooth towards the back of my mouth, but not a back tooth. Maybe 3rd to the back. I just think it would be less pain in the long run to get it pulled. Any thoughts on this?

I have had my spacers for around maybe a bit over 2 weeks. This is the 3rd time 1 has came out. The first time it was the one between my upper right molars, second was between the upper left molars and right molars, and the 3rd time (this time) is between the upper right molar AGAIN. I don't know the correct term for the molars but i know they're not the 12 year molars it's between. What is the reasoning of this? last time I ate some beef jerky and they fell out, but this time I was just eating something they told me I could eat and it just fell out. It is very frustrating and I feel uncomfortable going to the ortho again due to the fact he'll think i am not properly taking care of my teeth.

I live in Georgetown, TX and I'm hoping to get a position at a dental office for experience because I really want to become a dentist one day. So, does anyone know any dental offices in Georgetown, Round Rock, or even Austin, TX? Oh by the way I'm only 16. Thanks a lot!

Recently, I noticed that my teeth hurt when I eat chocolate. But they don't hurt at any other time or when I eat anything else. Could this be a cavity? Is it possible that I just developed sensitive teeth?

My tongue just started to get the feeling like I was getting poked with a toothpick in the back of my tongue (Bottom). I researched and found out that all my symptoms match up with Pericoronitis.

I tried brushing it with a toothbrush but its in a real hard spot to get in to. I was thinking of using something to numb it like ora-gel. Would that be ok or should I look for some other treatment until I go to the dentist?

Also whats a good way to get rid of the taste?. Mouthwash isn't working for a long ammount of time.

Ok, so here's the thing. I am terrified of the dentist. I had to go and get a tooth pulled however, so I decided to do it under general anesthetic. The tooth that was pulled was the last molar on the bottom. Now I know when they put you out to do it, you have a breathing tube inserted. Is it unusual to have some pain in the teeth above the one you had removed? I was wondering if this pain is from the air tube. I have no pain at all in the site of the extraction, so I am sure it's not dry socket. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I went to the dentist to have a cavity filled and the dentsit filling-in...(not my normal dentist) tells me that another cavity I have needs to have crown. I am confused by this because it doesn't appear to be a big cavity and my dentist said i just needed a filling. Its the first molar and neither that tooth nor the one next to it have any fillings or decay. So why would I need a crown? and should I refuse to do it? stand by just a filling?

Do you believe it consists of going subgingival, even in localized 5mm pockets? I need a website that states either. I'm a new graduate of dental hygiene and I believe that a prophy can include going subging. to get the pt clean w/o doing SRP. That's what I was taught, but I can't seem to find it in writing.

Do you know the needles dentists poke your teeth to see if you have cavities? When they poke your tooth, what tells them you have a cavity.
