Dental - July 2007

How about toothbrushes with fancy rubber things and whatnot on them? or those toothbrushes that vibrate?

It's been 56 hours since I had my upper right wisdom tooth extracted, I followed the dentists orders and didn't smoke or suck anything or spit for 24 hours, after 24 hours I did smoke but I have been smoking easily, not fully inhaling. I have rinsed with the salt water and am still taking my pain medication because it feels like I am still swollen. I can't see up in my tooth socket to see if there's a clot but I can see some white color that looks like it's forming on the outside or something. I don't think I should get one since I followed the guidelines, I hope not.

Is that true, since my back teeth jams my wisdom teeth, so it will never be able to grow fully?

I am taking my braces off tomorrow because my 15s cruise leaves saturday. my orthodontist said my teeth were ready to remove the braces ad asked me to wear some rubber bands to keep the midline(huh..?). But i have noticed that my teeth have moved and now the top oes lie perfectly on the bottoms ones, not slightly in front like I see most people have them. is that ok? will he still be able to take the braces off or will we have to wait till they go slightly over?

What are the after effects like? I have to have a tooth pulled on Saturday and following that I have 2 parties to go to. Will I have to call off the parties? Or should I wait to have the tooth pulled even though the dentist said it is an emergency.

do anything? I ate a couple starburst last night..and damn..my tooth hurt..but it wasnt too bad and only lasted a minute or two. This has been going on for a while. It hurts on a tooth that already has a cap. I told my dentist about this..and he said that there was no real reason to worry unless it hurt for a longer period of time? is that right? and then i am more sensitive to cold water ONLY during the time that my tooth is already hurting from sweets. i dont eat any more super sweet stuff anymore.

It's going to be with local anesthesia, and I've told both my dad and my boyfriend, who would be my top choices for going with me, but none of them volunteered to go with me. I guess my dad assumed my boyfriend would go with me. Anyways, I'm wondering if any of you know about this kind of things... Do you come out of this operations unable to drive? Or is it just a commodity to be a passenger? I don't need to be 'spoiled' because of the pain I'll be in, or because my face will be swollen. If i can do it all on my own i will. So, do you think I should go alone?

I while ago, one dentist didnt do a good job on a filling and a year later i had to get a cap. I got a number of numbing injections in my gums...but NOTHING seemed to numb me totally...i kept feeling the drill and it felt like a icy shot in my mouth. I have to go to the dentist again (i am seeing another one) because whenever I eat anything sugary...that tooth hurts for a bit. Has anyone else experienced this?

Currently I brush twice a day, floss every time I eat, use oral bristle brush to brush between teeth and the gum and flush out all dirt with waterpik. On my recent visit to dentist, he comment that my gum is in good condition.

However, when I use oral bristle brush and waterpik, I often see blood blocks been flushed out from my teeth. My dentist said its the earliest stage of the possible gum disease. The more I use bristle brush, the more blood blocks I see and I was wondering if I use too much bristle brush, am I opening wide my gum between teeth and possible more chance to be contacted with bacteria?

Also is there such thing as the electric bristle brush? and how effective is the electric flosser.

Please advise with your professional experience,

I read some scary stuff on the internet where a few people got oral cancer, but I don't know if I should pay any concern as this is fda approved and I know people do this everyday including my own dentist to her teeth.

I was referred to an oral surgeon as i was left with a small peice of tooth deep in my gum after a tooth extraction. The surgeon said it is still infected and needs to come out . I haven't had any problems and have still got the choice to go through with this in four weeks. I am concerned about the risks after the removal which was being left with a numb bottom lip and chin what are the chances of this happening?

Ok here it goes im just confused on what kind of jacket or crown to put on my tooth. Im 17 now. OK! When i was 12 yrs old my front tooth got broke(it changed its shape it looks like a letter V) because of an accident i had while riding a bike. I was devastated i immediately went to a dentist(the dumb one) and the dentist recommended to put a porcelain crown on my broken tooth(which was not a perfect crown). Few years have passed it started to smell and look bad it dramatically changed its color and obviously i was conscious about it. When i was 15 i had braces to close the gap near the jacket 2 yrs later(which is NOW) i asked a dentist to get the jacket out. and now im just wondering what's the PERFECT and i mean PERFECT jacket/crown that suits my tooth that will never smell or change its color

P.S. Please help
