Dental - November 2007

I am only twenty years old and i am going to lose my teeth if i cant find financial help soon. My dentist has informed me that i have 6 thousand dollars worth of work to be done and my insurence only covers about 1500 a year which means it will take me about six to get it all finished and by then there will be a lot more problem. I have always taken care of my teeth, and had braces for about three years; my teeth are just very cavity prone. I am a single mom and i go to college full time, i have no money to cover my part. Someone please help!!!!!

I've always wondered what having buck teeth felt like. Anyone out there capable of shedding some details? What does it feel like when you're just resting your mouth? Eating? Kissing? Do you find that people who are attracted to you like you because of your teeth or besides the fact? And, finally, does anyone out there have really pushed out (and up?) bucked teeth and still suck their thumb?

Because of the amounts of no-shows that we have dealt with over the past year, we have decided to require that patients put down a non-refundable deposit for their dental work. Usually it is for appointments that last over an hour. This is because by the time we realize a patient isn't going to show for their appointment, usually by 15 minutes after the appointment time, it is too late to give the appointment to someone else. Even if we don't have a patient in that appointment spot, the dentist still has to pay the utilities and the staff. Making patients pay a deposit of 1/3 of the cost of the appointment, usually ensures that they won't "no-show" for their appointment, as they don't want to forfit that non-refundable deposit, and will make certain they show up for their appointment. Of course, if an unavoidable emergency happened, we would take that into consideration.
Some patients are getting angry over this, and refuse to pay a deposit. Would you be understanding of this?

My long time friend from high school, who is 20, told me that he has had to have 4 molars removed from his bottom jaw.

That sparked my curiosity being that young. What are is his options? Will he have to wear dentures that young?

I am getting my wisdom tooth removed tomorrow and am terrified. Apparently there are three types of anaesthetics:

1 - Local anaesthesia (conscience sedation)
2 - Local anaesthesia with Intravenous (IV) sedation
3 - General anaesthesia procedures at a private hospital

I will be getting the first one (conscience sedation). My question is: Since you are conscience, can you feel what is happening during the procedure? the pulling, the cracking, the pressure, the drilling etc. Does anyone have any info on this type of anaesthetic? How do they do it without an IV?

My tooth is already fully mature and broken through the gums. I just don't want to feel anything during the procedure!!!

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if maxillofacial surgery qualifies under FSA since technically it's oral surgery which is allowed under IRS rules. Anybody knows or has experience with this?

My dentist has just informed me he is no longer doing dental work for the NHS. He is going private and wants me to take out a dental plan at £29 per month. Does this sound about right?

I have two teeth in the bottom front that are slightly off-ish due to crowding. One slants a little back and the other one slants foward. It's not THAT bad, but can anyone tell me if this problem can be fixed by a minor dental work (like surgery or something) or would braces be nescessary?

They only hurt when I chew something. After a day or two without eating anymore candy the pain will go away.

Recently I have lost four teeth shortly after a visit to the dentist. They just broke apart and also one that had a gold crown. Now I have difficulties with chewing. I don't want a bridge or an implant and looking for an alternative.
Reflecting about it I came to the conclusion, that there must be another way and that it is possible that the missing teeth can grow anew.
I have heard that in China there is a tribe where they know how to grow third teeth. Anybody knows something more about it?
Don't tell me that this is not possible.
I was also told that there is no cure for Fibromyalgia, but I healed myself. I was told that the only way to repair an inguinal hernia is surgery, but I healed myself without surgery. So please only answer, if you have some positive information or a suggestion what I can try that my teeth grow new. (I'm over seventy and the remaining teeth are in good conditions. I am familiar with meditation and EFT and I will try with it, but will wait for answers.
