Dental - June 2007

Got a wisdom tooth with gaping cavity, starting to cause pain. Thing is I do not have insurance, so looking for affordable options BUT am super duper scared of pain...can regular dentists knock you out? Any clues on average cost of all of this (US)? Thanks in advance!

Is scope mouthwash OK to get drunk off of? It says fifteen percent alcohol, but I'm wondering if its dangerous or if its like any other liquor. I hope the ingredients that are supposed to wash your mouth or whatever won't hurt my insides somehow?

For a 14-year-old who needs to pull out 4 teeth (2 on top and 2 on bottom), Would the braces be well done by a general dentist? Leave any effects? Please help. Thank you.

I am 21 years old and have crooked teeth. My top 2 front teeth are very crooked and I have been very self conciouss about them for some time now. I dont know if braces would even work because my mouth is way to crowded. Basically my front teeth are pointing inwards, and would need alot of space and probably time.

So i guess the question I am asking is; Is there a point when bracers cannot be used because the situation is to sever? And if so is there any other methods of dealing with this?
Thank you.

I just turned 18 and I haven't been to a dentist since I was 12. That's when I had 6 of my back teeth pulled out. I had 4 back teeth pulled out before that so I have 10 teeth missing already. The teeth I have left all have cavities in them and a couple are broken. I know it will cost way more than I have to get them fixed and I really don't want them fixed. I'd really rather just have them all pulled out. I had all of my first teeth pulled out when I was 4 cuz they were all rotten and I didn't have any teeth at all for a couple of years so I what that's like. It's not nearly as bad as having ugly teeth that give you problems all the time. My mom hasn't had any teeth for years and I'd much rather go toothless or maybe get false teeth later on than go on like this. I don't have insurance so I'll have pay when I go. I just want them all out as soon as I can get it done even if I have to go toothless. My mom found a dentist with reasonable rates that will do it for me. Should I go for it?

I live in Colorado, and I want to know of a good company to get Private Dental Insurance from. I am not talking about these discount dental plans, I am talking about real, genuine, dental insurance that pays the most of the expense. My job does not have dental benefits.

I am being offered a variety of different health plans. I don't know what to pick. Some of the HMO plans offer the same things that a PPO plan does. But I don't feel comfortable with an an HMO

My teeth became sensitive to cold and hot after tooth cleaning and tooth filling during my first visit to Dentistry Xu. When I called them, I was told that the sensitivity would stop once I have my wisdom teeth pulled. After the pulling, which is a few months later, my teeth began to ache. But a few more months later when the ache became severe enough to call my caution, my Medi-Cal benefits were stopped and I was not able to pay.
Today I went to a dentistry and have my tooth checked. An abscessed tooth was found and a root canal was necessary. So whose fault is it? I blame the Dentistry Xu for that I have been there three times and have my teeth checked for three times, but they did not tell me I have an abscessed tooth. Or I'd rather suspect that they caused the dead tooth? But my dad said that I am responsible for all the trouble. Because I did not listen to him when he told me that check my tooth when the Medi-Cal is available and when he told me to go to another dentistry.

I had a dentist that did a terrible job on my teeth and ruined my bite. I went to a malofacial surgeon and another dentist who both told me the problems I was having were from the first dentists work. However, when it came to going to court neither wanted to get involved. I filed a complaint with the ADA mediation council and no one has even bothered to contact me.

I have some swelling in my gums right behind the very last tooth on the bottom row of the left side. I read that, that causes the last tooth to rise up a little and that tonsils become sore and swallowing to become troubling. (Not sure if any of that is true so you need to help me out on that also) Anyway, how do i make the swelling go down?

Okay here's the situation. I got a root canal two weeks ago. I was eating lunch today and my tooth chipped. The filling was still intact. I went into the dentist and they said it looked fine and that I shouldn't worry about it. I came home and ate again and now the filling is gone. I'm worried that too much of my tooth is gone and that I won't be able to have the crown put on. About half of the front part of the tooth is gone and the inside. Some of the filling is still left but not much. If anybody could shed some light and ease my worries about how much of the tooth is needed to do the crown and also can they redo the filling? Also what are my options if they can't fix it? I'm thinking extraction and a bridge. By the way this is my top second molar from the back on the right. How much do bridges run and also are there any other options such as dentures? or anything else? Please help. My dentist is already closed for the weekend and I am really worrying about the cost of this. Thanks!

It's just a cleaning...and if you're going to be rude or mean then don't say anything. I'm super scared of dentists with their sharp pointy things in my mouth...
