A dentist I saw for the first time informed me from the x-rays taken that I had tartar build-up below the gumline on only the mesial of one tooth. In other words, he informed that all the other surfaces (of all my teeth) were tartar free (at least below the gumline).

He did not do a visual exam. And he took only bitewing x-rays which, I understand, give a picture only of what is going on in between the teeth. The implication, to me, is that he would have had to take a set of FULL-tooth (periapical) x-rays in order to reach his conclusion. Am I wrong?

My orthodentist told me that i will have to remove three wisdom teeth as otherwise they will mess up with my already aligned teeth.My oral surgeon said that general anaesthsia will be best coz i will be less traumatised and that he will be able to remove all three teeth at one go.I just want to know whether general anaesthesia is safe.

I am asking this as I am researching on whether the silver fillings (mercury) played a part in numerous years of being sick in the washroom, after using toothpaste, morning or night...I gag and choke on mucus buildup in my throat, I tried from warm water n' salt...Mouthwash, switched numerous toothpaste brands, lemon tea with honey...All that didn't help, I was still struggling and gag on it...

To find peace, I had to stop using toothpaste all together, I was at peace? Something is weird going on? Friend says she believes its the mercury silver fillings in my teeth---I am now bent on finding more info, is this proably why I struggled for many years, Dr's do not know why...

Now I am researching, n' hopefully some folks on here could share their ideas and experience with mercury silver fillings...Kind replies please, this is a matter of me desperate to find an answer to this ongoing problem.

CAN THEY?? :o

We've got this project. And I was just wondering if shells could possibly be used to test homemade toothpaste instead of actually using it on our teeth. :]

thanks!

I'm still experiencing a lot of pain, not as bad as the start though. I've had about 4 smokes, but I pack my mouth with gauze and do the salt rinse right after. Do you think that a) I should call the doctor about the stitch coming out? b) i could still get dry socket from smoking, especially since the stitch came out? and c) should i hold off on eating solid foods now?

Any help would be appreciated...I'm nervous to eat solid foods & to get dry socket. I'm on Tylenol 3s and an antibiotic, but I can't live without the T3s (trust me, it was sooo painful still)...Thanks!!!

I'm 18 and I'm having my wisdom teeth taken out and they've found a cyst on my jaw that they are also going to remove. I'm really nervous and kinda scared. I was just wondering exactly what they might do? Is it going to be terribly painful? Am I going to have to be awake or will they put me to sleep? An how am I supposed to breathe if they're doing surgery on my jaw? Has anyone else had this done before?

I got a major tooth ache in the back of my mouth. I cant afford to pay to have it fixed by a regular dentist, was wondering if any one knows any loop wholes in the system or if there are any low income places I can go to.

Thanks,
Doc

here's the whole story:


i chipped a bunch of my teeth one day.
the FIRST DENTIST i saw was terrible and filed the front of the bottom teeth so that my two BIG TOP TEETH wouldn't come in contact at all with my bottom teeth. Then the second dentist filed the back of my molars in the very back as well.
so now my bite is extremely LOW.
it's all uneven.
i feel like i do not have enough "teeth" on my teeth?
if that makes sense.

in lame-ans terms, the dentists filed my teeth all different ways, everything hurts, how do i go about having this repared?

can they add to m teeth just as easily that they have taken away?

will i ever have my old teeth back :(
it's been almost 5 months.
i'm going insane.
i can't focus in school.
my grades are terrible.
i am OBSESSED with my teeth,
and this incident happens.
i am going to a new dentist this monday.
what do i say to get my teeth fixed?

Hi, I'm going to be getting a tooth removed, and I'm a huge needle phobic. I have heard they can give you laughing gas, however, the dentists my insurance covers, they are not approved to use laughing gas. I don't know what to do. I don't want to aviod this because I need it. But I can't get past my fear of needles, its been passed down from my family. Taking deep breathes, looking away, doesn't help for me. Please don't tell me to man up because its alot harder than you think. Any help? :(

Did you find your brush was worth the money, or actually cleaned better?

If you lose or fracture a permanent tooth,

should you feel bad about it? because after all isn't it painful too lose a tooth you'll never get back or fracture it, i'm asking this because i feel bad about a fractured tooth, how would you guys feel if you lost/fractured a permanent tooth, is it really something to worry about, because most of the time you watch in the mirror at your tooth right, its disturbing to me,really? do you dislike this kind of things too, don't need to bother to answer if you don't like to , just a question.
