i have two impacted teeth (on either side of my mouth)
i have braces on, but soon will need oral surgery which would involve:

1) pulling the baby teeth out
2) cutting into my gum to expose the adult teeth
3) attatching a gold chain to the adult teeth
4) hooking the chain to my braces (to gradually pull them down)

has anyone gotten this surgery before? will i recieve general or local anesthesia? will i have any pain during the procedure? should i take any medication before? what pain meds should i take after? what sort of foods will i be able to eat? how much pain will i have after the surgery? how long will it take for my mouth to become normal again and for the pain to stop? will it be disgusting/bloody/gross? how long after the surgery will it take before the adult teeth fully come in? will it affect my speech? are there any after effects? will i still be able to go to school? how intense will the pain be during//after the surgery?

and lastly, any advice on nerves?

i know there is a chiche of english people with bad teeth, but i really think americans have an odd attitude about people's teeth. i completely understand why you need braces if your teeth look crooked, but nearly EVERYONE gets them over there!

my teeth are naturally quite straight, and i dont have any snarly teeth, my cousin in america had teeth just like mine, but she got braces and now they look super human. why bother, they were perfectly good before!

i recently whitened mine and now theyre the same colour as my 5 year old sisters. i think they look good, maybe even a bit too white, but when i went over there evry1s teeth looked so white they were glowing blue. the adults teeth were WAY whiter than childrens milk teeth.

americans, is this a fair comment?

people from other countries, do you see what i meen?!

It hurts to eat on my left side. I did have a bump on my right gum, but that's pretty small now. The one on the left hurts pretty bad. Well, not exactly hurts. It's irritating and I can feel it all the time. It's right by my lip. I can't eat on that side, but it doesn't hurt when I bite down my teeth. The bump is pinkish redish in color... The same color as the rest of my gum, just a little lighter. It doesn't hurt when I touch it though. It's firm, but soft. I'm 16 if that matters. It doesn't hurt to swallow my saliva, but it gets real irritated when food touches it. Help! It's been here for like 2 days.

I have recently experienced a loose back moller tooth. What should I do about it? Who do I see? What if it comes out before I can reach the appropriate doctor/dentist?

I have to get 4 teeth pulled; 2 on the top, 2 on the bottom.
The ones on the top are right next to my 'vampire teeth'.
The 2 on the bottom is the tooth after the tooth right next to the bottom vampires.
will it be really hard to get my teeth out?
what if my teeth wont stop bleeding really heavily?
could i die from getting these pulled? can they break my jaw? is there a chance my nerves will get damaged and then my face will be droopy?
yeah i have braces and my teeth are real crowded and they wont move unless they take teeth out.

I have a root canal scheduled for over 2 months from now at the sliding scale clinic. I recieved plenty of antibiotic to clear it up, but they prescribed me literally enough painkillers for less than 2 days by following the bottles recomendation. I have one refill for each, but that is another 2 days? or are they making it to where I have to go in every couple days for another 10 pills? Why would they do things this way?
