how bad can a tooth be decayed before it actually has to be pulled...the back of my front teeth are black..adn I can't stand it..I got on the access card to get it paid for... I haven;'t been to a dentist in 10 years
I have serious problems wit my teeth. The front two are rotting can they still be capped? or be pulled out?
Hunny buns a good dentist can save 99% of teeth provided you have the dough.
Reply:"I haven;'t been to a dentist in 10 years" - Now is the time to go. Only a dentist can give you a real answer to your question.
Reply:yes i believe so
Reply:I feel sorry for you that your parents did not care enough to make sure you brushed or take you to the dentist.
GET THEM TO!
Or call Children's Services!
Reply:you can get it pulled out. its better to pull it out then get caps on them cuz then they get worse. and its painful when they get worse.
Reply:Yes thy can be bad teeth and not be pulled thy will just drill out the rotten part of your
teeth and then cap them or put vaners over whats
left of your teeth.
Reply:If there is sufficient remaining healthy tooth structure for a dentist to cap your teeth, they can still be capped. In fact, these days, it doesn;t matter how much of the crown of a tooth is rotten. If at least 3/4th of the root it intact, you can get a treatment called crown-post with a ceramic crown over an anchoring meatllic structure that is screwed into the root stump. This is excellent treatment in a case like your with just the anterior teeth (crowns) decaying. However, your dentist will have to take xrays and confirm that the root is ok before u can get a definte answer to your question.
Reply:If it is not badly decayed, it can be capped. Or if you wish you can take them out and do implants, if you can afford, if not, then you have to wear dentures if the teeth cannot be fixed, So you better check you dentist before its to late, and look at your alternatives.

Jaw problems after widom teeth removed?
I had tmj before I had my wisdome teeth out and now after I had them taken out, it seems my jaw is locking up more on one side. Why is this happening? Could it be still healing from having them removed?
Jaw problems after widom teeth removed?
Same thing happened to my Dad when he had his wisdom teeth out...his TMJ got worse.
Healthy teeth anchored in the jaw help keep the shape of the jaw constant. Removal of wisdom teeth (which are nearest the temporal mandibular joint than any other teeth) can cause changes to the jaw structure (even slight changes to the jawbones can aggravate TMJ).
My jaw is similar to my Dad's, but not identical. When I had all 4 wisdom teeth out, the lower right side bones remained more stable than the left side. If you look where the wisdom teeth were on the left, you will find that the healed areas where my left wisdom tooth was is not horizontal, but, over the years, has repositioned themselves vertically --like climbing up my cheek ! Fortunately, it didn't worsen my joint pain like it did to my Dad.
You don't say how long it's been since you've had them taken out, so I can't say whether it might be a temporary worsening that may improve when completely healed. But I hope so.

Gum Problems or Wisdom Teeth.?
On the very back (were the back teeth are) bottum row. I have a wisdom tooth there but just behind it it looks like my gum is pelling off. Its normal color. And I brush 5 times a week butI dont have any cavities. Sometimes I floss. But that "cut" bleeds sometimes but it doesnt hurt at all. Im planning to go to the dentist but what are they going to do? get stiches to put it back together, cut it off (since its very small like a third of an inch) or just let it sit? And what is this?
Gum Problems or Wisdom Teeth.?
It sounds as if you are experiencing an impacted wisdom tooth. This would be a tooth that is either not at all erupted, or partially erupted, a condition caused by lack of space in the back of the mouth. This might lead to several unpleasant conditions, such as the infection pericoronitis. With pericoronitis, food and bacteria might collect under the gum causing a local infection that, if left untreated, can spread to other regions as far as the neck (nodes). However, it sounds to me as though you might have had some problems with this specific region of your mouth before, and the gum has "adapted" to close off the entry point for bacteria (hence the closed "flap" of skin). By contrast, the other side of your mouth (as we tend to be symmetrical) might develop similar problems with pericoronitis, and it might very well be that the gum does not form a "flap" here, but remains open. Regardless, impacted wisdom teeth generally are recommended for removal. Impacted wisdom teeth might occur if you brush and floss twice daily, or if you brush once weekly. Removing an impacted wisdom tooth will reduce the likelyhood of pericoronitis, periodontis, periodontitis, and tooth decay/bone loss in the back of the mouth, all very painful conditions in the long run.
Reply:I haven't brushed my teeth for three days, and no one has said anything yet.
Reply:lucky for you if you only brush your teeth 5 times a week, floss sometimes and yet you don't have any cavities. best thing to do is give your dentist a visit so that it can be resolved. i don't think you'd need stitches for that.

Has anybody had huge problems with their teeth like me??????
Hi! I'm 14 and a few years back I had to have my 2 front baby teeth taken out and extra teeth inside my gum taken ot. I had an operation for this and I had stitches on my gum. The orthodontist said I would have to wait a little while for my adult teeth to come down.
I waited a year and there wasn't a sine of any teeth coming down. I had another operation on my gum and thet found another extra tooth. They also put a chain which dangled from my gum to pull the adult teeth down. That was another operation.
All together I had 3 operations and my teeth still don't look right I have got braces to fix that though. People at my school pick on me because of it and it isn't fair. They say I have fake teeth and all that even though I have tried explaining to them. I want to know if any of you guys have had the same experiance as me???

Reply:my cousin had the chain and the teeth taken out but not the extra teeth. just remember, kids are THE cruelest people there are. you will realise as they grow up they will reallise what they are saying and that if you have misshapen teeth for whatever reason it doesnt really matter
Reply:- I had 5 teeth taken out at the same time - then i had an operation to pull one adult tooth down - like a gold chain - i couldnt laugh because it pulled the chain and that hurt - i had that chain for 4 weeks - then i had my top and bottom braces fixed - now the bottom ones are off but i still have the top ones...there gnna go of in a year
But noone laughed at me- infact people thought i was brave cz they wudnt have done it. those people at your school are morons and cowards..like teachers would say ign ore them but that doesnt work lol - so if they bother you again just say "ok whatever - if you think making fun of me because of my braces then thats really pathetic, because they'll be off soon and ill be the one laughing at you!"
soon youll be the one with beautiful teeth!!!!

You're getting yours sorted which is fantastic.
Its a pain now I know but in time you will have lovely teeth.

I can tell u that as I'm a dentist and see all kinds of problems, and also cos my teeth are nice now but I had LOTS of problems as a teen with them..braces, operations,elastics,baby teeth..you name it....
It'll be worth it in the end believe me!

Problems with whitening teeth with fillings?
have fillings in most my teeth, but no new ones lately. am to get 2 permanent crowns and started to whiten teeth 1st to have lighter color to match crowns with.dentist strongly recommended dentist-prepared, moulded strips, saying they're best for dental health and most efficient. is charging me 600 euros and it seems that he's using a kit ordered on line for 40 euros. i digress.started with the bottom teeth bleaching for 3 hours a day for about 14 days. now, top teeth. after first bout, it looked like a canine was vertically cracked that i didn't remember being cracked, but not totally sure. on 3rd evening upon putting on strip, i feel intense throbbing in one tooth(not the same side as crack) which subsides and then increases. i take off the strip within about half an hour and the pain subsides. french sites indicate one shouldnt whiten if cavities in teeth. does this mean filled cavities?throbbing reminds me of feeling of dying nerves. help! what to do?
Problems with whitening teeth with fillings?
Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries but certain precautions have to be taken. I found the information at http://www.aches.in/toothwhitening.html

Problems with my teeth?
ok so im 14 and i asked my dad if my tooth were 2 fall out will another grow. he said im to old 2 be losing teeth. anyways lately my tooth feels soft and hurts every now and then.. but wen i touch it ,it doesn't move. also i put oraljel on it that doesn't work much but is it some wit my gum or is it my tooth. and its my back teeth like the second one, two the last one.and well a tooth grow back? plzz help
Problems with my teeth?
No, all your teeth that you have at present are what dentists call "permanent" teeth. Unlike members of the ray family(sharks, skates, rays), humans only have one extra set of teeth when they are born. The looseness and soreness that you are experiencing could be attributed to a lack of calcium. I would seek advice from an orthodontist or your family dentist.
Reply:You should get your parents to take you to a dentist. A tooth that hurts could be a sign of serious decay, and it needs to be looked at by a dentist. It could indeed just be your gums, but only they can be sure.
If it's in your back teeth, you could be having problems with your wisdom teeth starting to grow in. I even more seriously urge you to get to your dentist. Some people can get their wisdom teeth just fine, but for other people they grow in sideways or crooked and cause problems by pushing around all of your other teeth. You don't want that, so get to a dentist.
A baby tooth will grow back, but you're past that stage. If you lose one now, it's gone.
Reply:Well, u gotta see a dentist.
Generally speaking, permanent teeth ( grown up teeth) erupt from age 6 till 13 except for wisdom teeth which normally erupt between 18 %26amp; 21. but some variations may occur.
From what u said I don't think that the tooth ur talking about will be replaced.
A permanent tooth may become loose due to gum disease, usually due to improper home dental care( brushing %26amp; so). But what u r describing is most likely due to tooth decay. If u r teeth hurt u when u eat or drink something ( especially cold or hot drinks or sweet stuff) then it's most probably decayed %26amp; needs a restoration. But if the pain comes with no cause or stays for a long period after the cause is gone then the pulp may be affected %26amp; u need root canal treatment %26amp; in this case ur tooth might seem soft or a bit loose. If the pulp is affected then painkillers wont do much, u gotta have it treated.
bottom line: u gotta clean ur teeth very well %26amp; have a dentist check ur teeth.
Reply:Well they are baby teeth
Reply:You really do need to see a dentist to see for sure what is going on with your teeth. But I can tell you this much, I did not loose all of my baby teeth until after I was in my late 20's. Now that is a very rare thing to happen, but it does happen. Only problem with that is when I lost my baby teeth at the age, there was no other teeth to take there place as the second set didn't develop. So please do go to the dentist to find out what is going on with your teeth before it is too late.

Problems with baby teeth, with no adults?
I'm not familiar with all the techinical terms/names for teeth, so bare with me.
My very first molar on my left side is loose. It's a baby tooth, there's no adult for it. Whenever I floss my teeth or eat something really hard and crunchy (granola bars) it feels looser and hurts a little. I'm 21, and it's been going on for some time now, slowly getting looser. I'm just wondering... when it does fall out, what are some options I have that aren't expensive (anything under 500$) to replace the lost tooth?
I also have one on my right side...the small tooth next to my two front teeth fell out when I was 12, but there was no adult for it, so when my canine fell out and the adult came in, it took the place of the small tooth, so now there's a space between my canine and my first molar, on the right side. The space is a bit smaller, 1/8" wide, so I don't know if they can put a tooth in. What would be my options for that space?
Problems with baby teeth, with no adults?
If you have a 2nd molar (the tooth behind the loose baby tooth), it is possible to do a bridge there to replace the eventually missing tooth. It's like a crown (cap), but you have 2 caps with a connected fake tooth in the center. It's permanently cemented into place and you dont take it out. The 2nd option would be an implant, which is probably also your BEST option, but they are pricey. So is the bridge. A 3rd option is braces to close *all* gaps. But unfortunately, there is no treatment option under $500. The best thing is to go in for a consult with your dentist. He can refer you to an orthodontist or a surgeon if you decide to do braces or implants. Good luck!
Most dental offices should be able to work with you set up a payment plan thru them, or apply for a type of loan or credit card specifically for dental treatment. Call around and ask about these payment options. No one should be turned away because they cant afford it!

Reply:some people are congenitally missing those teeth, so it's not too uncommon.
You could get an implant but that can be a little steep with the price.
years ago, before people had braces put on, they had those particular teeth removed, so maybe get braces to close the gaps?
Reply:Baby teeth are all replaced by adult teeth...if you are 21 %26amp; still have baby teeth, you need to see a doctor...we cannot help you.
Sorry...

Can a dentist tell by looking at your teeth if you have sinus problems?
just wondering i had a tooth filled and while he was doing it the dentist asked me if i had sinus problems
Can a dentist tell by looking at your teeth if you have sinus problems?
JUST BY LOOKING?
NO, BUT THERE ARE SIMPLE TEST IS TO PINCH YOUR NOSE AND PLACE YOU LOWER YOUR HEAD BELOW YOUR KNEES WHILE SITTING DOWN.
IF YOU GET PAIN IN THE UPPER TEETH FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN THIS PAIN IS FROM A SINUS INFECTION.

I've heard that wearing braces can really weaken teeth and cause problems later.is that true?
can they fall out at some later stage of life?i've heard of this woman who had really weak teeth which fell out when she was delivering a baby.
I've heard that wearing braces can really weaken teeth and cause problems later.is that true?
What kind of question is that? Your source of this information is totally flawed and does not have any credibility. I had braces and regularly put braces on patients. It is possible to have loose teeth immediately after the braces are removed but you will not loose your teeth. The teeth will tighten up with regular flossing and good hygiene. The only way you can loose your teeth after braces is if you had braces with pre existing gum disease (Periodontitis). Hope that helps.
Reply:I think that is crap. I had braces and I am fine. If your teeth were that week I am sure your dentist would of said something to you about it. Braces will not make your teeth fall out they will just make your smile pretty.
Reply:That is absolute rubbish. That woman that you are talking about obviously had issues due to some nutrient deficiency in pregnancy.
Reply:Braces can only cause harm to the teeth if they are moved too quickly, and even then the harm is really minimum. They will not fall out in later stages of life unless you don't take care of them, and even the it won't be because of the braces.

low calcium and braces have nothing to do with each other.
Reply:If you have good oral hygene while you are undergoing an orthodontic treatment then your teeth will be just as fine as if you didnt have braces. However, if you have poor oral hygene, there is a chance your teeth could have cavities, but i would not go so far as to say they would fall out. When I had my braces removed, my teeth were so much whiter around where the brackets were, and just a few minutes of polishing you could not even tell i had an orhtodontic treatment, take care of your teeth and you wont have to worry about them falling out, braces or not.

because of the nerves or something?
can they cause pain and other problems not in the mouth?
Can wisdom teeth cause back problems?
no thats usually hemorrhoids
Reply:Only if your jaw bone is connected to your BACK BONE.
Reply:yes they can.... i gotten headaches, neckaches and such from wisdom tooth problems... getting mine removed next week... AHHH!!
Reply:I have needed my wisdom teeth out for years and i don't have back problems.d
Reply:not usually
Reply:Actually it's possible for this reason..A wisdom tooth could become infected or impacted and it could spread through your blood system and affect any part of your entire body..People have died from it so yes it can..
Reply:I wouldn't be at all surprised!! Who was the genius that named them that??!!
Reply:Actually, wisdom teeth can cause other problems, but not back problems. I had mine surgically removed last May. They can cause headaches, jaw problems, and pain in the neck---literally. Anyhow, simple pain relievers like motrin can help with pain and inflamation. Also, if you have pain in your jaw, try putting an ice pack (covered in a small towel or something) on your jaw, but for no more than 15 minutes at a time. Hope this helps. And you might want to see your dentist about a referral to an oral surgeon if they are causing that many problems.

Problems after having wisdom teeth out?
I had one of my bottom wisdom teeth extracted 4 days ago, i didn't think ther was any problem at first, i got alot of swelling and bruising which was expected but i have been having a strange taste in my mouth since yesterday which is not tcp thing that he packed the wound out with before putting the stiches in, ive just took a closer look and i think there is a hole in my gum that hasnt been stitched properly, its pretty painfull, do u think i need to go back or will it heal on its own? i'm scared to eat incase something gets in there!
Problems after having wisdom teeth out?
from my own experience this is normal.... wait a few more days and it will get better. you must also watch for infections. the taste you descrbe is from the blood clot that was formed after the extraction. rinse frequently but gently to keep that hole cleared of food particles and such.
Reply:I would at least call them and ask about it. They will know if you need to come back in.
Reply:You need to go back to the denisit. I had the same thing!
Reply:Hey i had my wisdom teeth out about 2 months ago and i had the same thing happened to me. First things first that taste in your mouth could be one of two things either blood or an infection. I had a little bit of an infection and i called the dentist and he said i had to rinse my mouth with warm salt water and that helped alot it cleared up in about 2 days. The hole your feeling is where your tooth came out, its nothing to worry about but food will get stuck in there quit often just make sure you rinse really well with warm salt water. Hope everything works out for you. Maybe for the next couple of days try eating smaller soft foods like mashed potaes and things like that. Pops help too. Good luck!!

Can teeth and gum problems cause body aches and lightheadiness?
I have been feeling light headed at times. It's like I have a sinus infection that won't break loss. I have been on three anitbiotics and not one has helped. My body aches and I feel like I have no energy at times. But my gums and teeth are really sore and my tongues tingles. Can anyone help me?
Can teeth and gum problems cause body aches and lightheadiness?
Yes. See a dentist. Dental problems can cause headaches, nasea, and a variety of other ailements.
So can metal fillings.
Reply:It's a fact that gums infection, bad teeth can cause heart problems, septicemy ( infection of the blood), arthritis, due to the bacteria that goes through the throat into your body when you swallow. Please, go to see a doctor ASAP, you need to be evaluated, also you need to see a dentist to treat cavities, any problem in your teeth, and a DENTAL hygienist to clean your teeth, and evaluate the state of your gums: this is VERY important. There are medication to treat gum disease, after your teeth are cleaned, you have to return in six months, or maybe in 3 months to clean your teeth again. This should be a routine if you want to be in good health.
Good luck !
Good luck!

Problems with gums and teeth. Could you PLEASE recommend a effective medicine or supplements?
My mother has problem with her gums and the teeth are getting loose. She also has very pain in her gums and teeth.
Could you please recommend any immediate result medicine that you can paste on the gums? Nutritional facts are welcome as well.
Thank you.
Problems with gums and teeth. Could you PLEASE recommend a effective medicine or supplements?
You're Mother has an advance stage of Periodontitis, a disease of the gums and its underlying supporting tissues of her teeth that's why its painful and mobile or loose. It is best you bring her to a Periodontist or dentist for treatment. If the periodontitis is just starting, the dentist can perform Oral cleaning, planning and teach your mom how to manage it. You will also be given medication for management of pain. But if its an advance stage...the dentist could still do oral cleaning, deep scaling, planning and medications will be given. This is done to prevent the condition from worsening or leading to extraction. But after the procedure and it didn't improve, extraction is advisable. Maintaining Good oral hygiene is important to prolong the use of her remaining teeth....plain medications won't be effective because the cause is still there. So I would advise your mom to visit the dentist 2-3x a year from oral prophylaxis , keeping good oral hygiene, avoiding too much spicy foods bec it irritates the gums,
Reply:She needs to see a periodontist before all her teeth fall out. It may already be too late,
Reply:this is the result of a chronic inflammation due tu plaque/calculus sticked on the roots of the involved teeth, under the gingival margin (inflammation in the gums/bone)
So there is no medicine/supplements that can remove that. The only thing that can remove this inflammation si to see a dentist which will do root planning/scaling and can apply desensibilizer on the root afterward.
As long as there is this inflammation, the pain will stay and the teeth will only geet looser.

Teeth and gun problems due to pregnancy is this normal?

Teeth and gun problems due to pregnancy is this normal?
Hi, my gums were swollen, but they didnt bleed just found it really painful to brush, so i bought a baby toothbrush, its soft and small and did the job, it righted itself in the end, and im ok now, only lasted about 3 weeks, but its not very pleasent at all!!
Reply:it's normal see your dentist
Reply:its very normal... you may also notice teeth problems.. like my wisdom teeth.. 2 of them came in while i was pregnant with my 2nd daughter... and one of them became infected and i ended up going to the ER.....the baby takes a lot of your calcium so it does mess up your teeth... and your gums are more sensitive... my gums bled with both of my pregnancies
Reply:My nose bleeds alot. Its normal.
So is gums bleeding. go easy on them
Make sure your getting enough calcium because if your not, bubby will suck it out of your teeth and bones!
Reply:It is normal and due to the increased blood volume a pregnant woman has, up to 50% more.
Reply:Yes perfectly normal......If you are pregnant and a u.k resident you should have a copy of Emmas Diary and a copy of the Bounty Pregnancy guide( My wifes expecting but I keep reading her Pregnancy Guides )You get Emmas Diary from your G.P/ Midwife and Bounty Pack from Boots and these guides explain all the niggles and sympton you can get..
Reply:yes it's normal, just go and see your dentist, and don't brush too hard coz it will just make it worse
Reply:yes it is normal but I hope you have not shot yourself in the mouth ( look at spelling )
Reply:It's usually several years after pregnancy before you get gun problems.
Reply:u may need a licence
Reply:You'll shoot your eye out if you're not careful. Watch where you point your gun.
Reply:Very normal. My gums never bleed untill i got pregnant now they bleed and they are very sensitive. If your worried about it seen your dentist but im sure its nothing to worry about it
Reply:Yeah it is due to pregnancy, it is because all of your calcium that you are getting, the baby is taking away from you. You need to double up on your calcium so that you are getting some aswell. I am 19 weeks tomorrow and my teeth and gums still bleed. It is normal.

Teeth and toothpaste problems, help!?
Long story short; my teeth are killing me, not ache type, but decay and cavity-starts. I am international student in the US with NO dental insurance, so i can NOT afford seeing a dentist here. i've been here for 7 months now and i checked w/ my dentist before i came here. all was perfect. once i got here, i had toothache for months, now i have blaque, starting cavity in at least three teeth. the brush and paste i bought from here seem to worsen it. Please please give me any advice. is there a perfect toothpaste/brush that would help at least till i go home this summer!!!??
Teeth and toothpaste problems, help!?
It takes longer than 7 months for decay to develop, it's not the tooth brush or the tooth paste you bought here, its probably the lack of using both. If all was perfect with your teeth before you came here, then you shouldn't be having a problem now. My advice, floss and brush correctly and thoroughly at least twice a day and rinse with warm salt water several times a day.
Reply:Most of toothpastes can prevent begining of a decay if used frequently but once the cavity begins some times with regular brushing and flossing and using flouride containing toothpastes caries stop advancing but they still need to be removed by your dentist and to be filled ...
Instead of trying to protect them by a toothpaste you have to visit a dentist and make them filled and when this is done you can begin protecting your teeth so they wont have decays again

My baby was born with natal teeth barely poking through the gums. If they're removed what can be the problems?
I'm worried that if they remove her baby teeth that she'll have problems eating and learning to speak until her adult teeth come in, can someone who's seen this help me?
My baby was born with natal teeth barely poking through the gums. If they're removed what can be the problems?
They remove them to prevent problems with nursing. Best thing I would do is talk to your pediatrition and see what best advice they can give you. I don't think they would remove them if they haven't fully broken through yet.
Reply:I actually had these teeth when i was born to and I can tell you that I went through life without any problems. I had baby teeth and my adult teeth and I still have all my teeth.
Reply:i dont understand y you or any one would want to take out your babys teeth? sorry maybe i just dont understand the situation.........
Reply:Unless you're breastfeeding what other reasons could there be for wanting to remove the teeth? There are a lot of babies born this way and their teeth develop just fine without being pulled. I think you should leave them alone.
Reply:I'm not sure so I have sent you this website,,good luck on your decision. I read this web site and found it interesting.
Reply:There is no need to have them removed.
Reply:you can't have them removed. the rest of the teeth will come in later and should not be any problem.
Reply:just think of the ridicule of not having any teeth when she gets old enough to be in school!!! I wouldn't do that. As far as breastfeeding.. Why not use a pump??!! Its easy. My sister did that!!! My niece was born with her teeth. Lucky the ppl didn't pull them out or she would come home from kindergarden crying from all the people laughing at her. :-) Hope i helped.
Reply:if baby teeth are removed the other teeth will come thru crooked,overhere in the uk they would NEVER remove these teeth

Wisdom teeth...just got removed...problems???
I just got my wisdom teeth removed (all 4) and I am still experiencing severe pain....i still have the blood clots (no dry sockets)...did they crack my jawbone or something? the vicodin isn't working...only puts me to sleep, where i wake up at 5:00 a.m. having to take more to go back to sleep...it has been three days...i have never had surgery before or anything.....anyone else with this problem? Your help or advice is appreciated.
Wisdom teeth...just got removed...problems???
I just had my wisdom's out about 2 weeks ago. They STILL hurt a little bit! But yeah, at first I was taking the pain medicine basically to sleep. My dentist told me to take 3 advil liqui-gels ALONG WITH they pain meds. Just make sure u have some food in your stomach, like a Slim Fast or some pudding is enough. That's all I could eat...that and mashed potatoes. Now, when I try to eat regular foods, it feels like my jaw is being ripped apart. I cannot open it very wide at all without some discomfort. They told me it was normal and it would go away.. OH YEAH, I also still have my blod clots..the gums are not healing over yet...I don't know when they are supposed to heal completely..I heard a co-worker say it took them 6 months to heal over!!!
Reply:If the vicodin is not helping the pain then you need to call the surgeon's office that pulled your teeth and get their answering service to contact the one on call. The may call in a stronger prescription or tell you to take a different dose of vicodin etc.
Reply:Try taking 800 mgs of ibuprofen in between doses of vicodin, I had 4 extracted at once, and this was my dentist suggested. It worked really well for me.
Reply:You just had some major work done, it is going to be hurting. Don't expect to be back on your regular schedule yet. Just stay calm. Take it easy. If you feel that things are impoving, all be it slightly, it is good. If you feel that things are about the same, it is alright. If you feel that things are getting worse. That is not good. If you have any doubts, call you dentist and tell him/her how you are feeling. They will be more than happy to address your concerns, like your broken jaw. Let them know that the vicodin is not cutting it. In my opinion, if you are asleep and not aware of any pain, the painkiller is working. Don't sit at home and worry incessantly about things that may not happen. You paid for the work. Let the dentist worry for you.

Can problems with teeth grinding affect and cause muscle twitching / pressure around nose / eyes?
Could this also be caused by TMJ, a condition I am pretty sure I have yet not confirmed by a physician (I also grind my teeth at night)? I have pressure / sensitivity in my upper teeth which radiates throughout the front of my face under my nose. Could this also be caused by looking too long at a computer screen, or lack of glasses (which I am getting an exam for today)?
Can problems with teeth grinding affect and cause muscle twitching / pressure around nose / eyes?
All of which you describe could be the result of the teeth grinding. The teeth grinding causes all the muscle in the head/face to tighten and spasm. You should seek medical advice on this asap. Good luck and God Bless.
Reply:All I can tell you is that I have experienced involuntary teeth grinding for my whole life and a lot of times I didn't even realize I was doing it. It grinds down your teeth(very very slowly) but I have never experienced anything else that could be related to that abnormality.

How to fix problems with teeth? (please read for details)?
I have a aunt whos have just a few teeth which look like they are rotting away. There is one close to the front which on the front side of the tooth up near the gum there is a hole in her tooth. On another tooth the same thing happend but where the hole is its black from where it is rotting away. I'm not sure if its a Cavity or not because of were the hole is located at on the tooth.
Anyways she is in her early 20's and I told her to go get it fixed. She said there is nothing they can do put to pull those bad theeth and she don't want them pulled. Does anyone know if there is something that can be done to fix it? (Nothing real expense) I figured they would be able to fill the holes but she keeps telling me no they can't because of where the hole is located. She haves not ask a dentist cause she is embarrased plus she figures there is nothing that can be done.
How to fix problems with teeth? (please read for details)?
yes there is something that can be don,e she can have the teeth pulled and the dentist will make a partial denture plate for her, the look like the real thing, so you doesn't have to worry about anyone noticing anything different, the only set back is learning how to pronounce words correctlt after she gets the plate mad, it may take a few days but eventually she will be talking like normal again
Reply:She absolutely must see a dentist to get a professional diagnosis done. She is young and has lots of years ahead and will need her teeth is perfect working condition for along time. it is not only visual problem, but also digestive problem, if your teeth dont work properly. To avoid problems the only solution is to go and see a professional.
Reply:She probably needs them extracted and dentures fitted or porcelin veneers if she has the money. Book her an appointment she'll feel so much more confident with a new set of pearly whites. And tell her dentists dont hurt anymore.
Reply:My daughter had a hole in a tooth up near the gum line and had it filled, your aunt should go and have these holes taken care of to prevent further damage.....it's best to hang on to our own teeth for as long as possible and just leaving it as it is can only lead to more problems.
Reply:her teeth does have a really bad cavity ...it will end up eating the tooth away and if she lets it go some day the bone can be infected. they may not be able the fix it ..they will end up pulling it instead. there is nothing in the store you can get to fix that she need to go to the dentist
Reply:it can be filled no problems with a tooth coloured filling it wont cost any more than an amalgam filling because it is an anterior tooth.

Reply:She probably needs them extracted and dentures fitted or porcelin veneers if she has the money. Book her an appointment she'll feel so much more confident with a new set of pearly whites. And tell her dentists dont hurt anymore.
Reply:My daughter had a hole in a tooth up near the gum line and had it filled, your aunt should go and have these holes taken care of to prevent further damage.....it's best to hang on to our own teeth for as long as possible and just leaving it as it is can only lead to more problems.
Reply:her teeth does have a really bad cavity ...it will end up eating the tooth away and if she lets it go some day the bone can be infected. they may not be able the fix it ..they will end up pulling it instead. there is nothing in the store you can get to fix that she need to go to the dentist
Reply:it can be filled no problems with a tooth coloured filling it wont cost any more than an amalgam filling because it is an anterior tooth.
Can bad teeth lead to other health problems? How to fix?
My best friend has REALLY bad teeth, most have already rotted out. The ones that are left are no more than little stubs. I keep trying to get her to go to the dentist to get something done but she claims cost and embarrassment is holding her back. Can't bad teeth lead to other health problems? What can be done to fix her teeth now that they are in this condition?
Can bad teeth lead to other health problems? How to fix?
If her teeth are as bad as you are saying, she probably also has periodontal disease.
And, yes. Periodontal disease can lead to other health problems. Cardiovascular diseases such as strokes and heart diseases are some, and women with periodontal disease are more likely to give birth to low weight babies.
Someone above me mentioned that your friend may need implants. More than likely, if she is unable to care for her teeth, she will not be a candidate for implants. A dentist will want to see that she can take care of her mouth before he even thinks about implants.
She needs to see the dentist, and possibly a periodontist. Poor oral health can most definitely lead to poor physical health.
Reply:If your teeth are rotting out it is due to an infection somewhere. and this infection can spread to other places in your body. Also, it can effect your attitude, and lead to depression, if you don't want to smile. i would strongly recomend getting dentures, or if she still has some teeth still left, getting veneers. This sounds really sad, sorry for her.
Reply:Dentures or dental implants at this point, but implants are pricy.
Bad teeth can lead to a HOST of very serious problems, including heart damage.
Please encourage her to get help right away...
Reply:Yes, she has to see a dentist,though it almost seems too late.decayed teeth can lead to brain infection,if it goes on long enough, and will generally cause much pain.
Reply:Yes,definitely will lead toother health problems.Better to consult a good dentist immideately. None can help except a good dentist.
Reply:uncared for teeth definitely lead to other health problems. that's why it's so maddening that dental care isn't included in so many health plans or in medicaid or medicare for people. bad teeth cause infections that can move into other parts of the body. blood poisoning can result and many other problems. the best place to get a clear answer is from a dentist. if you call your dentist or a friend's trusted dentist, he or she will explain the risks.
if her teeth are that far gone, dentures will be the result. you cannot treat teeth once they have rotted out and are falling out. the gums are most likely in bad shape also.
there are usually dental schools in larger cities at unversities or somewhere who treat people for about a third of the cost of a dentist in private practice.
also, call your local health department and ask for advice.
Reply:my dentist told me that gum disease can commonly be linked to heart,kidney,liver,disease and a couple other i cant remember but they are common types
Reply:Decay doesn't lead to other health problems directly but it can indirectly. What sort of diet does you friend have? This is more of a concern when it comes to general health. The longer your friend puts off having treatment the worse her condition will become and the more it will cost her to fix her teeth.

Teeth/mouth problems..Help!?
This is the second time this has happened, but it's becomming more difficult to get over. the pain started from chewing food, and then the pain started right under my jaw, and up to my ear. and right now I have a problem of trying to opening my mouth to properly chew. anyone have any remedies to help relax the mucsles near the back of my mouth where the problem started?? my face is alittle swollen but not much.. what can I do????
Teeth/mouth problems..Help!?
I have a problem like this and I recently asked my dentist. He told me what is was called, but I don't recall, but he told me if it hurts a little, like once a month, then its nothing to worry about, but if it gets worse it could need to be surgically fixed or a less severe way, use a mouth guard.
How he described it to me, there is a ligament that connects the jaw to the scull, and this will slip forward, and when it gets too far, it will pop back. This causes pain, but for me it goes away. He told me that the cause of that happening is due to me grinding my teeth or clenching my jaw. So if you do one of these, it might be why. Now, you can try a mouth guard and see if that helps.
Reply:I too have same problem and also don't knnow if to call oral surgeon or wo to call next. I too am confused as to what to do. It seems like i have been taking aleve and tylenol constantly. Hope we both find answer on what to do. Good Luck .

Bad problems and HORRIBLE teeth?
Please help me I am a 19 Y.O female from Queensland Australia, I drink a lot of coke and smoke (and I wont stop either of them) and having a couple of traumatizing incidents with dentists as a child I am PETRIFIED of them I mean I have full blown panic attacks but the thing is I have no insurance, no car and no money, I mean I have literally $4 to my name and my family is in no position to help out either, I am currently job seeking so no cash there. The problem is that I have appalling teeth. Having only just 2 years ago started brushing and using Listerine my teeth are yellow and the majority of my top teeth are chipped right near the gum, I have this one tooth that I think of as my vampire tooth as it is higher then the rest and pointed, but the top half of it has broken off and it is now rotted. I don’t know what to do, I desperately want normal teeth but am unsure how to go about finding a dentist who can help me with all my requirements.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP
Thanks

Bad problems and HORRIBLE teeth?
You have taken the first step towards improving your health and seem willing to seek help treating your dental disease (yes, this is a disease). Since you are unable to pay for dental treatment, I suggest you seek out a local dental school for help at limited, or maybe, no cost. I hope you are not in any pain. Resolving these issues may also help you in your employment seeking ventures. You mentioned the reasons for this problem in your post. If you recognize them, you can also stop the destuction to your mouth, and the rest of your body. It just so happens that you can outwardly see the ill-effects from poor oral hygiene, smoking and drinking sugary soda. I wonder what is happening to the parts of your body you can't see.
P.S. be blunt about your anxiety so that whoever treats you can be prepared resulting in a much better experience for you.
Reply:Become a patient at the nearest dental school attached to a university. This is the only way to obtain high quality inexpensive dentistry. Also drinking coke is eroding away your teeth - it is extremely acidic and eating away at the enamel on your teeth. The best thing you can do is stop drinking it and get your teeth fixed. Smoking is giving you a much higher probability of getting gum disease and loosing teeth through lack of support, although you will probably rot them away with the coke first! Regardless you need to get them fixed and the cheapest way is through a dental school.
Reply:why dont you try some nicotine gum to stop smoking
Reply:Come on to get brillant teeth you have to stop smoking. your wasting the money you don't have on gross cancer sticks. If you keep smoking and see in 5 years you would be PETRIFIED to see your own teeth. Here are some remedys.
Salt - It may help?
BAKING SODA - A MUST!
Lemon?
Reply:These days there are many tooth whiteners and quite cheap. The best way is to brush your teeth for long time 3 times a day. Never say oh i am lazy today so if i don't do it just today it will be fine. Alsways brush it and it is enough, unless your teeth are already ill

Problems with wisdom teeth?
My wisdom tooth started coming in underneath my other tooth and i didnt have insurance so i just kinda roughed it out...before my jaw got swollen, but i think it was just because it was trying to fight off the problems with the tooth. Now the nerve in my tooth is dead so i cant feel the tooth, but a lump has developed underneath my jawbone. it's directly underneath the tooth that was having a problem. its making my throat sore and now i can barely talk... its basically the same type of thing that happened before only with the lump. its not just swollen because its hard... does anyone know of any anti-inflammatories that are otc that i can take for this? Also, i heard that if you have an absces type of lump and it were to burst it gets into your bloodstream and you can die. is this true? and if it is true, approx how long after it bursts do you have and what would you exprience?
Problems with wisdom teeth?
That sounds pretty bad.
You might want to go see a doctor, just to make sure its nothing too serious.

Can impacted wisdom teeth cause other health problems ?
if left untreated for several years, is it possible for impacted wisdom teeth to cause an underactive thyroid , or other health problems ?
Can impacted wisdom teeth cause other health problems ?
Yes. I suggest u get to a Dentist asap. I had been very ill for 12 months. I ended up with infection that spread through my whole body. I also had problems with my hearing and was generally unwell. Please see the dentist soon. People don't realise that teeth problems can affect your general health not just your mouth.
Reply:Totally, maybe not thyroid but blood problems, infection, heart disease and muscular problems.
Reply:No might be some Pain not more then that
oh u may face Stomach disorder
Reply:Please see the web page for more details on Wisdom tooth. Consult a dentist.
Reply:Yes, it causes problems with your health. I experienced a problem with my teeth that I didn't take out the time to fix. This problem lead to my blood which lead to a bone problem then stopped me from baring any more children. I read in the Home and Garden Magazine that the studies of bad teeth causes reproductive problems because it poisons your blood, once I had my teeth pulled the following month I became pregnant at the age of 39 and she is beautiful. Take care of your teeth, they are in your Head!
Reply:dogs and humans are a bit similar. When i worked at a vets office, dogs with bad teeth swallow all that salvia with the inflamation and the bacteria. I would think its the same for humans. You are swollowing all that bad bacteria from the infection. get those OUT! Wisdom teeth surgery is easy!! I am so glad I got mine out.

Can not brushing your teeth lead to stomach problems?
My friend hardly ever brushes her teeth. It's gross! She complains of stomach problems and constantly feels like she's about to throw up, and feels this in her throat, too. could this be because of not brushing her teeth? the doctors can't find anything wrong with her. what's up?
Can not brushing your teeth lead to stomach problems?
yeah thats nasty . her teeth migh fall out
Reply:Tell your friend that by not brushing her teeth it can lead to serious problems: Decay, infection, intense pain.
By not brushing her teeth, her teeth will accumulate plague and bacteria will attack her teeth. She will get cavities, and if they aren't filled, the holes will become bigger. Her teeth will even crack easily because they are weakened. There is no cure for cavities or for cracks. Infection of the teeth is terrible and extremely painful. It can even lead to serious illness and death if left untreated.
The cause of her stomach ache is probably from the high level of bacteria in her mouth, though I can't be sure. She needs to stop being lazy and start brushing her teeth. Even once a day is a start. She should also visit a dentist as soon as possible. She could have cavities that she's unaware of.
If she doesn't, she will risk herself greatly. Abscess teeth are not fun. They are extremely painful.

Will Medicaid pay for braces if they are medically necessary due to severe problems w/ my childs teeth?
My daughter has some pretty severe problems with her teeth that are starting to cause her a great deal of pain. She is on Medicaid and I know that they don't normally pay for braces, but will they if it is medically necessary or something more severe than just "cosmetic"?? Anyone have any information from experience they can share with me? Thanks
Will Medicaid pay for braces if they are medically necessary due to severe problems w/ my childs teeth?
Depending on what state you live in this is possible. Some states will pay for a childs braces if it is deemed medically necessary. now the definition of "medically necessary" is where the problem arises. some states will only take a very small number of cases a year if that and by small I mean 2-3. also another problem arises in that the fees medicaid pays for braces are very small. they are generally 1/2 of what is usual and customary. also in order for medicaid to pay for ortho the cases are usually extremely severe and most likely costs more. This problem causes many orthodontists to not provide treatment even if it is approved because they are getting probably a third of what they could get for another case. If I were you I would look into first getting approved and then search around for an orthodontist who would be willing to provide treatement. you will probaly be better off looking into a dental school as there fees are probaly more in line with medicaid fees. It is very difficult I understand but Good luck. I think I 've only seen 1 case approved in my years of woking with medicaid so dont get your hopes up.

Does having teeth removed cause back problems?
Hey, I'm considering having teeth removed as my dentist has told me mine are so crowded, the overlapping means it is making it difficult for me to keep my teeth clean (even though I do brush twice a day and floss at least once a day). However, my mum read in a health magazine that dental work causes back problems (something to do with the spine, head and teeth being connected). I cannot find any information on this anywhere and even my dentist hasn't heard of this claim but I would rather continue cleaning my teeth as best I can rather than risking back problems if this is true, although I am worried about developing some form of gum disease later in life :(
Thanks for taking the time to read this, any information would be much appreciated! Thank you!!
Does having teeth removed cause back problems?
I've had exactly the same kind of work done to my teeth and I never had any back problems*. It depends on how rough your dentist is when he extracts the teeth (joking!).
(* Not until I tried to do the "crab" at a party while drunk)
Reply:I've had my top teeth removed and have not suffered any back problems because of it. Don't know what Mum is reading but there should not be any problems. Good Luck.
Reply:There's probably no connection that you're going to see established with the Dental Association because they can't diagnose problems that aren't in your teeth.
Western Medicine follows the paradigm that "the part is the whole."
Obvious this is a silly paradigm and it should be clear to anyone that the entire body is interconnected.
Now is a tooth extraction going to cause a misalignment of your spine? That's pretty unlikely. But can the relief of pressure temporarily lead to some inflammation in the neck as tissues realign, re-balance and heal? How about a bit further down? That's much more likely.
Of course, realize that means you're dealing with a short term symptom caused by the effects of normal homeostasis. Your body is just re-balancing. That is not "a problem."
Reply:I've personally never heard anything of the sort and I've been in the dental field for several years.
Before you get your teeth pulled, how about having a consultation with an orthodontist to straighten them?
Reply:it can not cause back problems your dentist is right i wiould have them removed as if you get gum disease they will all have to come out and i am sure you dont want that
Reply:it's amazing just how much bulls**t's about!! but hey it's 2007 we got loads of experts and scientific studies, hospitals with excellent technology and so on and so forth and yet there's still so much poop - absolutely unbelievable!!
i brush my teeth about 3 times a week and have had gum disease for most of my life. i got loads of crowns and got a mouthful of amalgam and a few collapsed molars and yet all the times i bin to dentist i've never had back pain
p.s. if you can get floss in between your teeth why then should your dentist say - you need to have some teeth out becasue they are overlapping??
your teeth grow in a way nature intended them to grow. if they do not cause you any problems or pain then why repair what don't need fixing? beware - a lot of dentists just want the work

Teeth decay problems...?
We inherited a Yorkshire, she's about 12 years old, somewhat happy, sleeps a lot but still spry. The previous owners never took her to a vet for dental care and now her teeth are deteriorating. It cost too much to have them fixed or torn out. She cannot bite on anything except soft dog food. What can I do to help keep them somewhat healthier and thus keep our little Roxy happy in her senior years? Answers muchly appreciated.
Teeth decay problems...?
There's nothing you can do to help her at this point except have those teeth pulled. Serious tooth and gum problems often leads to other major health issues, like kidney, liver or heart trouble - that's why dental care is so important.
Reply:you need to take her to a vet if a dog has dental problems they cant eat try an animal charity and see if you can get the treatment at a reduced cost
Reply:It will be tough, but try to find a dog tooth brush and tooth paste. It probally wont help the current issue, you need a vet for that, but it may fix issues that will come up later.
Reply:Unfortunately there is nothing that can really be done except dental work by your vet. Everything for dental care that you will find in the store is worthless and just something to make a buck! It is a shame that dental care is expensive but it is some what of a necessity for a happier longer life. There are bacteria’s in the mouth that can be detrimental to your dog…..gum disease, bad for the heart and can take years off your dogs life!
Reply:I just lost my little girl Yorkie at 15 yrs old..miss her so bad..She had bad dental problems too, probably because she had no dental care before we found her on the street. We had to have some of her teeth removed, they caused her too much pain and were causing infections in her gums..We just had them done one by one as we could afford it. You have to fix this, she will be in pain and eventually won't be able to eat. Also if you wait until she's any older, It will be too risky to do any type of minor surgery,such as teeth cleaning, on her. Just save up money little by little. She's worth it, isn't she?
Reply:you have to feed her hard dog food or her teeth will keep on getting worse. you can try to ether mix some canned dog food in with the dry food or soak the hard food in water or milk to make it easier for her.
Reply:there is not much you can do because the main problem is because of her old age, but try to find a moist food with not a lot of sugar, wet/moist food decays dogs teeth severly, they need to eat hard food because it helps to chip of the tartar, but if she can not eat hard food just try to get her a soft food with not a lot of sugar, and try to get a dog finger tooth brush or actual toothbrush with doggy toothpaste to help with her teeth, good luck
Reply:Try www.painfreepet.com - they have something called flex gel that is great for older pets. The hyaluronic acid reduces inflammation, and will help eat away the tartar. I have heard numerous pet owners rave about it! I bet it will help her feel younger as well.
At this point, feeding her soft food won't hurt, as long as she is getting adequate nutrition and not have any 'pottying' troubles.
Good luck - I wish you well.

It is a shame that dental care is expensive but it is some what of a necessity for a happier longer life. There are bacteria’s in the mouth that can be detrimental to your dog…..gum disease, bad for the heart and can take years off your dogs life!
Reply:I just lost my little girl Yorkie at 15 yrs old..miss her so bad..She had bad dental problems too, probably because she had no dental care before we found her on the street. We had to have some of her teeth removed, they caused her too much pain and were causing infections in her gums..We just had them done one by one as we could afford it. You have to fix this, she will be in pain and eventually won't be able to eat. Also if you wait until she's any older, It will be too risky to do any type of minor surgery,such as teeth cleaning, on her. Just save up money little by little. She's worth it, isn't she?
Reply:you have to feed her hard dog food or her teeth will keep on getting worse. you can try to ether mix some canned dog food in with the dry food or soak the hard food in water or milk to make it easier for her.
Reply:there is not much you can do because the main problem is because of her old age, but try to find a moist food with not a lot of sugar, wet/moist food decays dogs teeth severly, they need to eat hard food because it helps to chip of the tartar, but if she can not eat hard food just try to get her a soft food with not a lot of sugar, and try to get a dog finger tooth brush or actual toothbrush with doggy toothpaste to help with her teeth, good luck
Reply:Try www.painfreepet.com - they have something called flex gel that is great for older pets. The hyaluronic acid reduces inflammation, and will help eat away the tartar. I have heard numerous pet owners rave about it! I bet it will help her feel younger as well.
At this point, feeding her soft food won't hurt, as long as she is getting adequate nutrition and not have any 'pottying' troubles.
Good luck - I wish you well.
If taking out wisdom teeth is advisable, why isn't also taking out your appendix to prevent problems?
I was thinking of how it is recommended today a lot it seems that people take out their wisdom teeth before complications arise to prevent possible future problems, so I was wondering why isn't the same advisable of taking out your appendix if it can spontaneously burst? Are we supposed to wait for the day that it becomes a threat before we take an appendix out, or is a problem like that so unlikely compared to problems with wisdom teeth that we don't bother as much with it?
If taking out wisdom teeth is advisable, why isn't also taking out your appendix to prevent problems?
For a few reasons. The cost of the procedure to have the appendix removed is far greater than having your wisdom teeth removed. Also, there's more chance of complications (infections, anesthesia problems) resulting from the appendix surgery than just removing teeth. There's also a much better chance of having your wisdom teeth cause you problems, than your appendix giving you problems. Besides, some say that the appendix can play a role in the immune system, even though removing it has no ill effects.

Reply:Well it costs money to get it out, right? Lots of money I'd assume. I haven't had it done. But there's just no point to until there's a problem. Besides, you get a little warning from the pain. It doesn't just burst out of nowhere
Reply:I guess the appendix is a more intense operation and there's more recovery time involved. With your wisdom teeth, it's feasible to get a few numbing shots and be back at work the next day after the operation (even though that method would suck!).
Reply:Because an appendectomy is much more invasive than taking teeth out. If they did that, they would start taking out all sorts of body parts just to prevent problems, like breasts (they do that for certain high risk women, but not commonly), prostates, you name it. It's not worth the risk to take out an appendix on the outside chance that it might cause problems, most people never have a problem with it.
Reply:Wisdom teeth removal can prevent teeth overcrowding and misalignment. The reasoning is two-fold: cosmetic (appearance) and dentition (ability to chew properly).
Removing the appendix to prevent some future possibility that it might become infected is too risky. You have the basic risks associated with general anaesthesia, combined with either laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery. Then, you are cutting into the bacteria-filled intestine, risking spilling of bacteria into the peritoneum and the blood circulation. The downside of prophylactic appendectomy is potential for serious infection and death. These risks are MARKEDLY lower for tooth removal.

Reply:Surgery for your appendix is invasive and requires anethesia. It is a dangerous proceedure as is any surgery. If you are not having any problems then your doctor w/choose to wait to do this if you had to have another type of surgery.
Wisdom teeth are removed because they probably are growing in at an angle and will cause crowding later on. Since it is not a really invasive surgery it is easier/wiser to do a preventive proceedure for this.
Reply:It's got to do with probability. Most people will experience problems with their wisdom teeth if they don't get them removed, due to their placement in the jaw. On the other hand, most people won't experience problems with their appendix.
The complexity of the surgery is another factor. Wisdom tooth removal is minimally invasive, and can be performed with only local anesthetic. Having your appendix removed is more invasive, and involves general anesthetic. For something that has a lower probability of medical problems, performing a more complicated surgery (where more things can potentially go wrong) is not prudent as a preventative measure.
Reply:Statistically an acute appendix is rare. Wisdom teeth though, grow in at all sorts of weird angles. Some have them up in there for years and years till they start crowding others...Easier to remove one that they 'know' is going to cause problems when everything is healthy.
Opening the peritoneal cavity...every time...includes risk. Definite harsh, mean, fast, cruel, painful, deadly risk. Might be rare, but to operate to avoid...then die....not so good. Family members get all huffy and sue for malpractice for operating on a normal person for something that mostly likely will never, ever happen, ever....
Reply:you dont want your appendix out trust me.
just wait until you need it out.
and you may never need that,
the bruising after the surgery is horrible.
i have too much scar tissue
and my scar is ugly
they said it would be on my bikini line. hah
trust men no way is it on my bikini line
and i cant make it less visible as it indents
Reply:All good answers so far. i just wanted to add when I had a hysterectomy 8 years ago the Dr asked if I wanted my appendix out then while I was opened up. He explained that it would be more practicle to do it as preventive medicine rather then if something were to happen in the future. I had it out needless to say.
Reply:The reason is that an appendix removal always require general anesthesia which have some risks in itself. If the GA goes wrong, you can be left paralyzed, experience memory loss or worst, comatose. Also, once your abdomen is cracked open, your internal organs can be subjected to adhesion, which is not good also.
Wisdom tooth removal does not require opening your abdomen. It may require general anesthesia, especially if the tooth is impacted and localized anesthesia won't prevent you from experiencing the amount of pain expected when they try to dislodge it from your jaw. Although the time you are under it is probably no more than 30 minutes as opposed to an appendectiotomy which is close to an hour. The risks becomes higher.
Wisdom tooth removal is only recommended when it starts becoming a problem. I have an impacted tooth that my dentist was aware of but did not recommend removal until it started pushing my teeth off to the other side. That took 5 years, and only then did I had it removed. Pain was non-existant. My moving teeth was the issue.
Unfortunately for us, there is no advance warning for appendicitis. Only pain which is unbearable.
Reply:Getting teeth pulled for prevention is a lot less complicated, less risky, and less costly than having a major operation. Many people don't get them pulled if they are not a bother. Most people getting their wisdom teeth pulled don't go under general anesthesia, that in and of itself poses many heath concerns. There are also the risks of having major surgury if you don't need it. How many people do you know that have had their appendix removed? Personally I don't know very many and you are not guarenteed that you will ever need it out.
Reply:There is a difference between taking out teeth from the jaw and slicing open the abdomen to take the appendix. There is a risk for complications with any procedure. The possible complications for an appendectomy are just more serious than with a dental procedure. The risks outweigh the possible benefits in this case which is why it is not done routinely.

Pregnancy can take its toll on the mother’s teeth, especially when it’s been awhile since they have received any professional dental care.
From what you have described, the best advice I can give you is to see a dentist. It sounds like its been awhile since you've had treatment. The dentist will want to take some x rays. He may suggest a cleaning and then do an exam, and then he can tell you what needs to be addressed immediately to prevent further loss of teeth. The teeth that are broken off at the gum line may or may not be restorable; there is no way of knowing without seeing x rays. So my advice is to see a dentist soon, schedule an appointment and go from there. Even though teeth are broken at the gum line, they may still be restorable with extensive and expensive measures; such as root canals, post and core build ups then having crowns or bridge work placed. Implants are very expensive and do require sound bone or bone augmentation surgery to be completed prior to placing the implant. You may be under the guise that your insurance will cover all of your dental work; look closely at your policy, there is a limit per year which is usually $1000.00 or $1500.00. This can easily be used up with a deep cleaning, exam and x rays or by working on just one tooth.
Do check your dental insurance policy so you won't have any surprises; some policies won't cover pre-existing conditions or they have a waiting period. Make sure your dentist accepts your insurance or is a provider. Most dental offices will be able to inform you what to expect, what your policy will cover, what your out of pocket expenses will be and can also submit a pre-determination so you know what is or isn't covered with some of the major work.
Even though you may have neglected your self while having your children, you are doing the right thing now. By taking care of your dental health, you are teaching your children the importance of taking care of their teeth.
Other options besides having implants, would be a removable partial, this appliance could replace all of your missing teeth. Check your insurance, if you change your mind, once they pay for a partial they most likely won't pay for bridge work or any other replacement of these teeth. It may also be possible for a fixed bridge to be placed depending on the soundness of the abutment teeth.
Reply:well foods with calcium are good. but you still need vitamins. the way your body works is what ever excess mineral/vits your body will excrete it. now this doesnt mean go and take a whole bottle.duhhh right. what you need to also ask you dentist i found out this year..... when i went for a cleaning they did i flouride treatment. i said wait i thought insurance stopped paying for this when you were a kid, which is what used to happen. the doc said they have done studies that show fluoride treats still need to be done on adults. it is not harmful. i teeth get weak and brittle when we get older, so why stop something that was good for us from the start. good luck. i was a dental assitant before a nurse
Reply:First, when you go to the dentist, ask if you have any alveolar bone loss? If there is bone loss, find out the reason from your dentist.
Second, do you find yourself grinding your teeth at night? Grinding could cause tooth trauma or jaw pain.
Third, after you find out about the last wo points, there are a few options to replace your molars. First is implants and second is a denture, third (if you still have wisdom teeth) you can consider a bridge. Implants are better and the fact that it helps retain the alveolar bone but it's expensive. Denture is just "false" teeth that acts similar to a sports guard but with teeth attached to it. The bridge is only considered if your molars are intact where a false tooth is clipped between two adjacent teeth (where one being your wisdom tooth). However, bridges are perminant where as dentures can be removed.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Reply:you definitely need to take advantage of your new dental insurance by seeking out a dentist for a comprehensive exam and a treatment plan. you will be advised of your treatment options then. it would be impossible for someone to tell you with any accuracy what your options are with the limited information you have provided. only someone who sees your mouth, your medical history and radiogrpahs can give you any real advice. don't double up on vitamins- they will not help your situation. Best Wishes to you.
Reply:Calcium for the developing child is not taken from teeth. Teeth are not cancellous bone. Teeth are not bone at all.
Do not take supplements of any type (including herbal) during a pregnancy without consulting with your doctor or obstetrician first.
Talk to your dentist about options for your teeth. It sounds as if at a minimum you may need some RCTs and big fillings. Ask him/her what they think the causes of your decay are coming from - it is usually a combination of diet and hygiene. Hopefully you have a fluoridated water supply.
Reply:You are not alone. I am a 32 year old female. After having 2 children . And taking care of my daughters teeth. She has soft baby teeth and needed work on them I finaly went to the dentist after not being there for 3 years. My upper back top teeth are very bad. He said probably due to lack of calcium while I was pregnant. Never even had a cavity until I was 21 when I was pregnant with my son. Had to get a root canal. When I had my daughter at 23 got 3 more cavitys. My root canal broke that was on the top right and the tooth behind it has a huge cavity. Dentist also said the last molar also is badly decayed. On the top left side where the 3 fillings are. one tooth has been fixed sevral times and I only have a half of tooth there. The rest is a filling. On tooth is cracking the other one is holding. He suggested getting all those teeth extracted and get an upper partial. Of course I freaked. Thinking at 32 I am too young for false teeth. However he did suggest 3 root canals and 3 crown. Way more expensive considering I need bridge work on a lower back tooth. After a month of being very depressed I am going to get an upper partial for my back teeth. Dentist said no one will be able to tell. All other teeth are fine. He said as long as I continue to go for checkups no reason to lose any more teeth. My goal now is to keep the rest of my teeth in my mouth. I fully understand how you feel. You do everything to make sure your kids are taken care of and we forget to take care of ourselves. Best of luck to you. I hope you find peace in what ever you decide. we are sill young and have lives to live and children to rasie.

Teeth grinder problems?
Lately, my husband has been violently grinding his teeth to the point where it prevents me from getting a decent night's sleep. I know he's always been like that, ever since I met him, but then is nothing compared to how it is now. It's so bad, it wakes me up in the middle of the night. Sometimes I have to sleep on the living room couch, and I can STILL hear him grinding them down.
I just can't take it anymore.
I've spoken to him about it a million times already, but he's a stubborn guy and refuses to get a mouth guard. How can I get him to stop grinding his teeth, not only for his dental health, but for me so I can be able to sleep properly.
Teeth grinder problems?
I was a grinder. I developed TMJ, you could hear my jaw pop across the room when I ate, I had neck/shoulder pain, a perforated cartilage in the joint, the list goes on. Maybe the loss of his teeth will be a wake up call for him. Having a dentist make a bite guard will solve the problem in time. I spent thousands in bio-feedback treatments to deal w/stress, relaxation exercises,etc. The bite guard was worn at night when I slept and it helped the most. He will have a hard time grinding his gums when all his teeth are gone. Get yourself some ear plugs so you can get some sleep and good luck getting the stubborn mule to help himself. Pride cometh before the fall.
Reply:well night grinding can be due various causes like occlusal prematurities like over filling,orthodontic appliances, improper tooth position , stress ,fear,anxiety you can consult the dentist for corrections to be made if any and can take help of a psychologist to relieve stress and anxiety ,try out certain relaxation exercises.
try and explain him the imporatance of night guards as if he doesn uses them he will loose his teeth soon and develop various temporomandibular problems.
Reply:These articles tips should help you ease your husband jaw pain and get his bruxism under control before he grind his teeth into dust. However it is not intended to provide medical advice
- Keep your lips sealed, but your teeth apart. Your teeth should be touching only when you’re chewing or swallowing. Drop your jaw and feel the muscles relax – then try to maintain that feeling.
- Take a warm bath before bedtime. The warmth of the water may temporarily relax your jaw muscles and save from tooth grinding.
- Exercise. Your body, not your jaw, that is. A walk or other mild exercise may help relieve some of the tension and stress that’s causing bruxism.
- Remind yourself. If you’re a daytime clencher, think of ways to remind yourself not to clench. For example, you can put a red dot on your phone, stickers on your wristwatch, or even a string on your finger to remind you to keep your jaw relaxed.
- Relieve stress. Stress is a major contributor to grinding tooth, so if you can reduce stress, you will likely reduce grinding.
- Learn coping skills. See a psychologist or psychiatrist. Take an assertiveness training course. Practice techniques such as progressive relaxation or guided imagery or self hypnosis. Listen to relaxation tapes. In other words, find something that helps you to better handle the stress in your life.
- Apply heat. Warm, moist heat is best. The simplest method: Soak a washcloth in hot water, wring it out, and hold it up to your jaw. You can use a heating pad, although moist heat will penetrate better.
- Massage. It works for the rest of your body, so try a gentle massage to your jaw muscles.
- Give your jaw muscles a break. Limit steak, hard-crusted bread, popcorn, gum, and other chewy foods that give your jaw a workout, especially when jaw discomfort is at its worst.
Other Tips To Stop Teeth Grinding:
• Avoid or cut back on foods and drinks that contain caffeine, such as colas, chocolate, and coffee. Be consistent with healthy diet.
• Avoid alcohol. Grinding tends to intensify after alcohol consumption.
• Do not chew on pencils or pens or anything that is not food. Avoid chewing gum as it allows your jaw muscles to get more used to clenching and makes you more likely to grind your teeth.
• Train yourself not to clench or grind your teeth. If you notice that you clench or grind during the day, position the tip of your tongue between your teeth. This practice trains your jaw muscles to relax.
As for you Mam :
You and him better working together, since stress is the major cause to almost 80% people, to resolve / at least ease his stress. Sometimes just to listen to him could very help (i did it with sister).
Listen to relaxing music, pray together, something like that.
Or, buy yourself ear tips.
Or, this is bad idea, separate bed / room. Ha ha ha, hope you never had to do this.
Good luck both of you.
I just can't take it anymore.
I've spoken to him about it a million times already, but he's a stubborn guy and refuses to get a mouth guard. How can I get him to stop grinding his teeth, not only for his dental health, but for me so I can be able to sleep properly.
Teeth grinder problems?
I was a grinder. I developed TMJ, you could hear my jaw pop across the room when I ate, I had neck/shoulder pain, a perforated cartilage in the joint, the list goes on. Maybe the loss of his teeth will be a wake up call for him. Having a dentist make a bite guard will solve the problem in time. I spent thousands in bio-feedback treatments to deal w/stress, relaxation exercises,etc. The bite guard was worn at night when I slept and it helped the most. He will have a hard time grinding his gums when all his teeth are gone. Get yourself some ear plugs so you can get some sleep and good luck getting the stubborn mule to help himself. Pride cometh before the fall.
Reply:well night grinding can be due various causes like occlusal prematurities like over filling,orthodontic appliances, improper tooth position , stress ,fear,anxiety you can consult the dentist for corrections to be made if any and can take help of a psychologist to relieve stress and anxiety ,try out certain relaxation exercises.
try and explain him the imporatance of night guards as if he doesn uses them he will loose his teeth soon and develop various temporomandibular problems.
Reply:These articles tips should help you ease your husband jaw pain and get his bruxism under control before he grind his teeth into dust. However it is not intended to provide medical advice
- Keep your lips sealed, but your teeth apart. Your teeth should be touching only when you’re chewing or swallowing. Drop your jaw and feel the muscles relax – then try to maintain that feeling.
- Take a warm bath before bedtime. The warmth of the water may temporarily relax your jaw muscles and save from tooth grinding.
- Exercise. Your body, not your jaw, that is. A walk or other mild exercise may help relieve some of the tension and stress that’s causing bruxism.
- Remind yourself. If you’re a daytime clencher, think of ways to remind yourself not to clench. For example, you can put a red dot on your phone, stickers on your wristwatch, or even a string on your finger to remind you to keep your jaw relaxed.
- Relieve stress. Stress is a major contributor to grinding tooth, so if you can reduce stress, you will likely reduce grinding.
- Learn coping skills. See a psychologist or psychiatrist. Take an assertiveness training course. Practice techniques such as progressive relaxation or guided imagery or self hypnosis. Listen to relaxation tapes. In other words, find something that helps you to better handle the stress in your life.
- Apply heat. Warm, moist heat is best. The simplest method: Soak a washcloth in hot water, wring it out, and hold it up to your jaw. You can use a heating pad, although moist heat will penetrate better.
- Massage. It works for the rest of your body, so try a gentle massage to your jaw muscles.
- Give your jaw muscles a break. Limit steak, hard-crusted bread, popcorn, gum, and other chewy foods that give your jaw a workout, especially when jaw discomfort is at its worst.
Other Tips To Stop Teeth Grinding:
• Avoid or cut back on foods and drinks that contain caffeine, such as colas, chocolate, and coffee. Be consistent with healthy diet.
• Avoid alcohol. Grinding tends to intensify after alcohol consumption.
• Do not chew on pencils or pens or anything that is not food. Avoid chewing gum as it allows your jaw muscles to get more used to clenching and makes you more likely to grind your teeth.
• Train yourself not to clench or grind your teeth. If you notice that you clench or grind during the day, position the tip of your tongue between your teeth. This practice trains your jaw muscles to relax.
As for you Mam :
You and him better working together, since stress is the major cause to almost 80% people, to resolve / at least ease his stress. Sometimes just to listen to him could very help (i did it with sister).
Listen to relaxing music, pray together, something like that.
Or, buy yourself ear tips.
Or, this is bad idea, separate bed / room. Ha ha ha, hope you never had to do this.
Good luck both of you.
Can heart problems cause your teeth to hurt?
When my dad's heart is racing, he says his teeth hurt. He has heart problems, and this really worries me. What is the cause of this? What does it mean?
Can heart problems cause your teeth to hurt?
One symptom of a heart attack is that you can experience jaw pain which i suppose could go up to your teeth. Considering your dad has a history of heart problems, he should probably get it checked out. Best of luck!
Reply:It could be a transfere of pain, in some instances where a person is having heart problems their right shoulder will hurt. But i really am not sure, best if he asks his doctor at his next check-up
Reply:well i know sinus problems can cause your teeth to hurt, but maybe your dad does like i do... when i am in pain i clench my teeth together , most of the time not realizes i am doing it, and then my teeth start to hurt. .. really you need to talk to a doc about this. sorry to hear about his heart problems
Reply:his blood pressure is probably high at the time, which can definitely make your head ache, and if he gets tense and clenches his jaws (probably unconsciously) that would contribute, too...i definitely have heard of people having shooting pains up the side of their neck during a heart attack...hope he checks with the doctor soon...oh, yea, and bad teeth can contribute to heart disease...something about higher chloesterol and placque more easily entering the blood stream, i think
Reply:I dont know about the heart making the teeth hurt but I had some dental work recently and while in the waiting room I read an article that they have linked bad teeth care as being a problem for the heart. All smokers are going to have gingivitis and if you dont have regular dental check ups they say it will effect your heart.
Reply:Angina(chest pain due to cardiac problems) can cause jaw pain.
Make sure your father mentions this symptom to his doctor.

Problems with Puppy Teeth?
My dog is 4 months old and started to lose his puppy teeth. The only problem is he's been sleeping a lot and he wont eat much food. We feed him sold gold wolf king, some Merrick can food, and a little of pumpkin and ground beef heart. (he's well feed). I figured the dry food was to hard for his teeth, so I gave him only the can food and he ate more than usual. Is this normal for this to happen to puppies? Any suggestions on how to help the teething process beside teething rings etc.?
Problems with Puppy Teeth?
The wet food is richer than the dry food, while the wet food is easier for him to eat, it may have upset his stomach just a little bit. Try softening the dry food with a little bit of water before mixing it in with the wet. Other than that, yeah sounds completely normal.
Reply:Sounds normal to me.
Reply:Its normal. Probably not eating because his mouth is a little sore. I have pre-moistened the dry food just a little, or mixed in some cottage cheese to make it irresistable in the past. My puppies tended to go for it, and crunch their teeth right out. Looking at it on screen, it sounds a little mean, but if hes got teeth coming in, then the wet food should be fine :)
Reply:puppies seem to sleep alot and they eat what they want or until they get their full they know when the have had enough but if you are worried then take him to the vet to be on the safe side. sometimes it depends where they have lost their tooth and they might have a hard time chewing. Give him chew toys to chew on and teething ring and so forth. also give him puppy food that isnt as hard as dog food and he should be on puppy food anyhow. Try moistureing his food with water or broth or a little bit of milk to much can food isnt good for him and it could bound him up and he would have a hard time going poo
Reply:It's normal. Your puppy is not eating much because his gums are sore, common for teething puppies. You can get a puppy kong, freeze it and give it to your puppy to chew on. Frozen kong toy will help soothe his sore gums.

I have never had problems with my teeth till now...?
I have been having problems with my back teeth, they have been hurting really bad and I don't have cavities or anything. Just a couple of days ago the pain moved from the back of my teeth to the front and now behind my two front teeth on the bottom my gums are swollen and it's making the whole left side of my mouth hurt now. Could it be my wisdom teeth coming in or what could be going on?
I have never had problems with my teeth till now...?
No past problems with teeth mean nothing. The best thing to do is always go to the dentist regularly. I would go every 3 months--prevent any potential problems. Furthermore, brushing and flossing everyday goes a long way.
Reply:IT COULD BE YOUR WISDOM TEETH COMMING IN BUT MAYBE YOU DONT HAVE A CAVITY BUT SOMEHOW YOU DAMAGED A NERVE IN THE TOOTH THAT COULD CAUSE EXTREME PAIN .... I HAD ONE TOOTH PULLED LAST SUMMER CAUSE OF A SMALL CAVITY AND NEEDED TO BE PULLED ANYWAY FOR MY WISDOM TEETH TO COME IN... THE NERVE THAT IS IN YOUR TOOTH IS SUPER SUPER SENSITIVE AND EVEN THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OR TOUCHING OF IT CAUSES SHARP INTENSE AMTS OF PAIN ... AS THE INFECTION OR NERVE DAMAGE GETS WORSE THE PAIN SPREADS TO YOUR FRONT TEETH AND EVEN CAUSES SINUS HEADACHES FOR SOME PEOPLE...I GO TO THE DENTIST TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DONT HAVE A SMALL CAVITY OR YOU COULD ATLEAST KNOW IF YOUR WISDOM TEETH WERE COMMING IN OR NOT.
FOR THE PAIN ID TAKE 3 IBUPROFRENS AND DRINK SOME TEA ...

I'm having problems with my teeth!!! PLEASE HELP!!!?
Lately I have been having problems with my teeth. When I chew food, I get this tingling, aching sensation in my back teeth like I'm chewing on ice cream. It's starting to happen alot now and it's become very bothersome when I eat. What is wrong with my teeth? Could it be cavities or do I just have sensitive teeth?
I'm having problems with my teeth!!! PLEASE HELP!!!?
it definently sounds like you need to schedule an appointment with your dentist...what you're describing sounds like a cavity but you'll need to get an x-ray because it might also be the nerve so you may need a root canal. bad news i know,but as long as you get in before it gets worse you'll be fine...good luck to you.
Reply:You should go to the dentist and have them check it out.
Reply:I say go to the dentist and get it checked out before you spit out a tooth.
Reply:It sounds like you have sensitive teeth. Try using toothpastes made especially for sensitive teeth. However, go see your dentist to make sure it is nothing too serious.
Reply:Could be that your wisdom teeth are getting ready to come in and are pushing on your molars. Bless your heart, you're going to have to go to a dentist.
Reply:You need to see a Dentist as soon as possible the next step with you teeth is that they will start rotting out. You have some serious cavities going on.
Reply:sometimes your teeth become sensitive maybe you need a good cleaning and some sensitive toothpaste
Reply:I had the same problem on one of my back tooth. Started recently. My dentist said the filling needed to be replaced. Also I found out I grind at night. They replaced it w/inlays and no prob now. Could u be grinding? Or need to replace fillings? Good luck!
Reply:you may need to have it extracted or it may be tooth decay
Reply:If your discomfort is just with hot or cold it is just sensitivity. try sensodyne toothpaste and after a few weeks you will have relief. If it is a discomfort that lingers for a few minutes it is a possible root canal. You need to go in and have an exam. :)

Bad bad problems with my teeth?
I am having some horrible problems with my teeth, I brush and my teeth are rottening and chipping away in the back i haven't been to a dentist in forever....and i can't afford it i dont have insurance...or any cash. I am only 21 and my back teeth are breaking and chipping and rottening and the fillings have come out so i am having so many problems...my back tooth just chipped and its very sharp...I dont know what to do...I am taking advil every day to get rid of the pain...suggestions please? anything in the mean time i can do to make my teeth stronger until i can save up money for a dentist?
Bad bad problems with my teeth?
your teeth nerves are dying... you should buy some minor annesthesia... they sell it at any pharmacy like cvs or wallgreens... and only like 5 bucks
Reply:In a case that bad, I would work some overtime, suck it up and go to a dentist ASAP
Reply:well sorry to hear about your problems but you should have taken much better care of your teeth to begin with, true you might not be able to afford dental care at the time being but surely you can afford quality toothpaste and mouth wash and never forget to floss. Now I recommend using Colgate Total to save what you do have or if you're teeth are in pain than try sensodine tooth paste as that it is for sensitive teeth I hear now I don't know what it offers or covers or what not but Colgate Total is the way to go becuase it does work against everything and my preference of mouthwash is listerine so try that but it sounds like you need something with more floride in it so look for that, in both tooth paste and mouthwash ( they always have ingrediants listed in them on the back label), and as for the pain Advil works and so does anbesol ( i think thats how its spelt) its a gel that comes in a tube and while they do have it for babies theres also anbesol for adults as well with the same problem, just rub it on to your gums where it hurts and it will numb them but don't rely on this solely use when needed and for the mean time save up money ! get a job with dental coverage and make some sacrifices by buying ONLY what is needed, while it might not seem like it, but from what I hear about the condition of your teeth you most liklely have plaque on them as well and tooth and gum diseases don't only affect the mouth area but can lead to heart problems and lung roblems as well so get it taken care of asap there are always choices good luck !
Reply:Sorry to hear about you not be able to afford dental care. here's some stuff that may help.
1.) Go to your local pharmacy and pick up Hurricane (they keep it behind the counter so you'll have to ask), the original flavor tastes horrible so ask them about watermelon or pian colada to see if they carry it. This will numb your tooth - if they don't have hurricane at your pharmacy you could try anbesol or orajel.
2.) Rinse a few times a day with warm salt-water to prevent an infection from forming, it won't "undo" the damage that's already there, but it should help prevent new damage
3.) Take motrin for pain
4.) Use an ice pack on the sides of your face
5.) Call around to local dental schools in your area. Many of them will do your dental work very cheap or even free because you are allowing a student (with supervision) to work on you.
*** There's also stuff called re-fillit at your local drug store down my the toothpaste and orajels and stuff. It comes in a little tub with an applicator, basically your rinse your mouth out with warm water, remove some of the product from the jar, roll into a ball, and mold it to the spot on your tooth that needs feeling. It takes a little while to harden completely, but once it does you can eat and drink on it. Each tub costs about $4.00 and will refill your tooth multiple times. It is only short-term though, so be sure to call the dental school.***
Hope this helps. Good luck and feel better.
