i need some help with the cost of dental work done to my teeth

Suggestion:

Dental schools are often lower cost or borderline free. The students are still learning, but they've been through enough school to know what to do and are just working on technique.

How do I clean my teeth after wisdom teeth removal?

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 11:28:46 +0000

I get my wisdom teeth out on Thursday, how do I clean my teeth after the operation? Obviously brushing them isn't an option… and neither is mouthwash, due to displacement of clots leading to dry socket.

Suggestion:

you can still brush them, but only the front, do not try to stick out your tongue to brush it cuz it will hurt. you don't really need to worry about it the first few days anyway since you should be at home resting

Month after having wisdom teeth removed pain?

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 11:24:16 +0000

So until recently my mouth was fine. But I noticed that my lower jaw hurts on the left side. I flush out the holes from surgery with water daily, but my cheek seems swollen on that side and when I smile, white stuff comes out of the hole. I'm really confused because I had thought that the hole was almost grown up and stuff had definitely stopped coming out of it. And I really don't know how to explain this to my dentist either. Help?

Suggestion:

Just explain it to your dentist like you just did, more then likely he will want to put you on an antibiotic, please call the office you got your teeth pulled from because they may need to take an x-ray to see how deep this is and this shouldn't be happening. Also if you call they may ask you to gargle with salt water also. So please call to make sure this doesn't end up being more serious because if it's not very deep simple antibiotics maybe the answer.

a career in dental hygiene question?

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 11:09:56 +0000

Is it possible to become a dental hygienist if you have a slight tremor in your hands?

Suggestion:

It would be difficult to become a hygienist with a tremor in your hand, as you can risk scraping/cutting the gums of the patient. Also we always employ a technique called "exploring" which is used with a light grip to feel the sides of the teeth for tartar, and i would imaging it would be difficult. But i guess it depends on how controllable the tremor is. Scaling teeth is all precision work within the fingers. If you're in Canada, i wouldn't recommend Hygiene anyway, too many hygienists – not enough employers

Guys: Does a girl having crooked teeth turn you off?

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 10:56:48 +0000

I have a friend and I've known her for about a year. Her teeth are crooked and she is reaaallly self conscious about it. She thinks it's a really big deal and is afraid a lot of guys will be turned off by it, especially the one she likes. I tell her it's not that bad and stuff but she still worries and stuff. She always tries to hide them too, like when she smiles she doesn't show them and she doesn't talk much around them. She's getting braces in a few weeks though so yeah.
Would it turn you off if there was a girl who had crooked teeth?
Or do braces turn you off? And why for both?
Thanks!!

Suggestion:

Braces can be a cute look. Crooked teeth, turn off. Results after braces, perfection.

Is it weird to bring my friend to my wisdom teeth removal?

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 10:51:04 +0000

My grandparents are taking me and I wanted to bring my best friend. My grandpa said okay, but my grama said "People don't do that". Is she right?

Suggestion:

Actually,it depends.When I had mine pulled I was put to sleep through an iv.I dont even remember falling asleep.Anyway when I woke up, my father was in the room talking to the doctor/dentist.I was soooooo out of it!I didnt care who was there,who was talking,etc.,I just wanted to get home and get some sleep!!So what Im saying, is that if u are put to sleep for this procedure u will wake up sooo out of it, that all u will care about is BED.Trust me,u wont care at ALL who is there with u at this point.U will be so tired you'll be cranky. Maybe thats why u shouldnt have a friend there.You'll see….lol….

Wisdom teeth and pain meds?

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 10:29:40 +0000

I had all 4 of mine extracted today, and the oral surgeon gave me Tylenol with codeine for pain. I don't like codeine, because it makes me very tired and inattentive.

Can I use Aleve (Naproxen) instead?

Suggestion:

No!!
Naproxen is an anti-inflamitory, like Ibuprofan and Asprin! This will delay the formation of the scab over your sockets!
Use just plain Tylenol if you cannot handle the codeine, however the use of opiates, such as codeine, actually HELPS the healing process by making you relaxed – and thus not tensing your jaw. If it's within 24-48 hours of your surgery, I HIGHLY SUGGEST you take the meds! You're supposed to be tired and inattentive. You're healing. Give yourself a break! Relaxing is best for your body right now.

If you do take Tylenol, don't take it in addition to your medication, because you'll be taking too high a dose of the acetaminophen, which can cause big-time liver problems. Wait to switch to plain Tylenol atleast four hours after your last dose with the Tylenol & codeine Rx, and I'd call your dentist to see if you can switch to Vicoden or Percocet if you really can't tolerate the codeine.

The first time I have felt intense pain is 3 days after wisdom teeth extraction, why?

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 10:12:28 +0000

I had my wisdom teeth extracted 3 days ago and have taken pain medicine as needed only ibuprofen I haven't needed the prescription meds, but this morning I woke up to a horrible pain in my jaw on both sides. Applying pressure provides some sense of relief. Any ideas as to what it is? What should I do?

Suggestion:

You may have a "dry socket". This happens when the blood clot/scab-thing comes loose from the the hole where the tooth's root used to be. This causes the former tooth's nerves to become exposed. The pain can be equated to having dental surgery with no anaesthesia (LOTS!). Three days post-op is a common timeframe for someone to develop a dry socket.

Call your dentist – he/she will want to see you soon. This is serious – it could lead to an infection in your jaw or skull. Until you are able to go in, keep your mouth clean. Rinse gently with salt water occasionally – especially after eating (pinch of salt in a cup of warm water). This will help keep food/germs from becoming lodged in the hole.

Call your dentist!

Which is a better dental hygiene school, Portland CC in Portland, OR or Mt. Hood CC in Gresham, OR?

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 10:09:09 +0000

I am going to be attending dental hygiene school this Fall 2010. I was accepted into Portland Community College in Portland, Oregon and Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, OR. I can't decide which school I want to go to and I haven't attended either in the past. If anyone out there has been to either school or even both; your opinion is greatly appreciated, especially if you attended dental hygiene school at one of them.

Thanks any information, statistics, opinions, etc. will be helpful!

Suggestion:

Use the source below for the criterion, then try to match your schools to those given below. I can't find the exact information. You could ask your dentist to help you as well. I hope you are dexterous and have strong fingers. If not, be sure to use a tool that you can find at the guitar shop to strengthen your fingers.
