Whats an effective method to deal with wisdom tooth pain?
Answer:
If they are impacted then see a dentist and probably have them removed. However if they are coming in normal, and it's just the soreness from breaking through the skin. Try something like a novacaine gel, or Anbesol, plus maybe a nice cool teething ring :)
extraction
Take some motrin, warm salt water rinses and ask your DDS if they should come out.
Go see a dentist.
Get them pulled, then keep plenty of gauze around.
Exactly. Get an appointment and have it removed.
ibuprofen for the swelling and try ambesol or chewing on a clove(it has a numbing effect)
Get them pulled out
take a zip of tequila and hold it on your mouth on the side of the tooth for a while that calms the pain
Go to the dentist
Drink till you cant feel the pain... works for me every time...
the doctor should have prescribed you vicodin or a pain reliever. If you have pain call your doc
Ask your dentist for some pain killers. They make life a lot easier.
I would suggest seeing a dentist if that is not something possible right now. Try taking some pain meds. Tylenol something like that. Some times if you eat cold things it tends to numb the teeth so try that. My finance actually got his pulled today and is doing ok. It's not to bad. But it is something to consider. If they have come out already they may just need to pull them. If not they may have to do surgery. That isn't bad either.
Whats a good toothpaste for clearing tarter?
Answer:
No toothpaste can clean tartar off teeth. Tartar is calcified bacterial plaque and has a very hard, crusty consistency and is impossible to brush off. If you have tartar, you need to see a dentist or hygienist and have them scrape it off for you.What you can do is prevent tartar from building up. It takes 12 hours for the soft white sticky bacterial plaque to turn into crusty tartar, so if you brush and floss thoroughly before the 12 hours elapse, you should not get much tartar buildup.Hope this helps.
Try Eucryl toothpowder (you can get it in Boots). It's a slightly abrasive powder designed to remove stains from smokers teeth, and should only be used once a week or so.You just wet your toothbrush, press it into the powder and brush normally. It won't remove tartar as such (I think only dental instruments can do that), but it does remove lots of brown stains and generally makes your teeth look much much better. I recommend it.
try Sensodyne... for fresh breath....
Toothpaste cannot remove tartar. Only dental instruments can. If you try to use very abrasive toothpastes and hard bristled brushes you are only going to erode away your enamel and possibly irritate your gums. Best advice is to get a cleaning done by a professional 2-3 times a year, and then brush and floss everyday with regular flouride toothpaste and soft bristles brush. This will keep the tartar from forming in the first place. Hope this helps!
What's a good price for a root canal?
I have an abcess tooth, I beielve it's the #19 tooth. Second molar from the rear of my lower left jaw.I was wondering what a reasonable price for a root canal procedure would run me. I have no insurance. I started antibiotics yesterday and have to wait ten days before having the procedure done, so I have some time to seek out prices from different dentists. I need to know what to expect to have to pay to have a reputable doctor perfom the root canal.
Answer:
An "amalgam one-surf prim/perm" means a one-surface silver filling. It might be done to plug the access hole for the root canal tooth. In most cases, the tooth eventually needs a crown to stabilize it for long-term.Don't go by price alone. Different dentist have different quality, skill level, comfort level, guarentee their work, etc.Specialists will cost more than general dentists. If a general dentist is experienced with root canals, they will do a fine job for you, unless it is a complicated procedure."Dental shopping" is not always a good idea, because you don't really know what you are comparing unless you know the dentist. I'd ask friends, co-workers, others for a recommendation. It's about value, not price.
I had the root canal and am now saving up for the crown!! Ain't life grand? My root canal cost $800. I have insurance so I ONLY had to pay for half of it. Lucky me!!
Sorry about your abcess, ben there so many times. All I know is Florida. Wisconsin, NC and ORegon but in all of those states a root canal is expensive. I'm gonna tak a stab at about 800-1000 for the root canal and another 400-600 for the crown. You may want to seek out a dental college. Prices are considerably lower at one of these facilities but you may need to afford a motel room and travel. Good luck
Each Denist, area you live and your mouth situation is different. talk to a few Dentist in your area and get the pricing. You check out cars clothes,You must check out other Denists. Good Luck Or have it pulled out,like the Denists did before.

Whats a good mouthwash for everyday that wont stain your teeth, my son has been using Cordosol and has been?
told not to use it all the time as it stains your teeth.
Answer:
Act is a good one for kids. It's red but doesn't stain your teeth and doesn't leave a nasty after taste for hours like some do. Also it has a sort of pump in each bottle. You squeeze the bottle and a resevoir in the top of the bottle fills up. makes it quick and easy for kids to get the right amount with out a mess and with out waisting paper cups. And it isn't really harsh won't make your eyes water and it got a mild taste so kids won't refuse to take it ... :D
Colgate's new ones are pretty good and recommended by my dentist.
Listerine!
Anti bacterial too :)
my favorite is crest pro health it doesn't burn your mouth at all !
I like the Rembrandt because it gets your teeth semi white before you even brush. My teeth alwasy feel super clean afterwards.
it is the best mouthwash though there was another one can't remember the name ask the pharmacist it was at my local pharmacy that told me about it
The traditional mouthwashing solution is saline (salty) water. The solution need not be strong; enough salt to taste obvious without being unpleasant. Swallowing a bit of it won't be harmful, and can even be beneficial in warm weather. Generally, though, it should be spat out rather than swallowed.Saline is useful because it kills off a lot of the invasive microbes that cause gum disease, bad breath, etc without harming most of the beneficial ones that come in handy for fighting off infections.(most body tissues are slightly salty and mildly acidic, so most of the sympathetic or 'symbiotic' organisms that help us to survive are tolerant to salty %26 acidic conditions)Unfortunately, most commercially-available oral hygiene preparations are fairly strongly alkaline, because they are designed to neutralise the acids that dental-plaque bacteria produce when they digest sugars.Rinsing with salt water before brushing will improve the effectiveness of any other oral hygiene methods. This can also be done at other times of the day, such as before %26 after eating.
There is a mouthwash called Peroxyl by Colegate, it is about 拢3.99. It does not stain and isn't too strong, my daughter thinks it is the best one.The only thing is i do not know if a supermarket stocks it but if you ring Colegate they are based in Guildford if you ring 118 for the number, i am sure they will be able to tell you the nearest stockist. Hope this helps.
Corsodyl mouthwash is designed for patients who suffer with Gum Disease and it's recommended that once you finish the bottle you return to normal mouthwash!
Listerine is quite a popular brand and comes in various bottles for various dental ailments, such as Teeth/gum defence, Tartar Control, and your regular Listerine.

To keep teeth bright and prevent yellowing, you need to remove the staining bacteria. This is exactly what happens when you chew certain foods that produce a high salivary flow. So, in addition to apples, take a bite out of guavas, pears, celery, carrots, sugar cane, cauliflower, and cucumbers. Another benefit: The fibre in some of these foods physically works to clean teeth and remove bacteria. Two more tips to keep teeth bright:1. Watch out for dark foods and beverages. Anything that can stain a white T-shirt can stain your teeth too. That means most varieties of berries, as well as soy sauce, red wine, many fruit juices, coffee, tea, and cola. You dont have to avoid them altogether, but immediately after indulging, rinse out your mouth with water, chew gum, or brush your teeth.2. Keep in mind that citrus fruits contain acid that can cause enamel to deteriorate over time.?
Whate are some signs of incoming wisdom teeth?
Answer:
Usually between ages 17-20's you will have two premolar on one side followed by two larger molars. The tissue behind the last 2nd molar will start to get slightly enlarged, you may start to bite this tissue when you eat. You will begin to feel some pressure back there that often feels as if it is pushing the teeth in front of it foward. The tissue may swell up and go down several times over a long period of time, especially if the wisdom teeth are impacted and in fact not going to erupt at all.
teeth will grow
What year of age do people lose there teeth?
Ive lost alot of teeth because i could not afford to see a dentist
And i cant stand my smile ,should i get the rest pulled and get dentures or try and save the ones i got?:(
Answer:
You can apply for HMO Blue, which is the Medicaid insurance coverage for people 20 yrs and older. (You neglected to mention your age, I'm going by your screen name.)I would suggest that you not pull your remaining teeth for a few reasons:1.) There is no denture or appliance (implant, bridge, etc.) that will be as strong or comfortable as your God-given teeth,
2.) It is way more expensive to try to replace teeth than to repair what you have, and
3.) There are dentists who will volunteer to do your work pro bono (yes, free) if you allow them to use your case as an example of their work or for a dental convention presentation. The age an individual loses his/her teeth depends on a number of factors: oral care/hygiene, habits (smoking, smokeless tobacco), genetics, medications that were prescribed tht have negative effects on teeth (tetracycline, methadone). My grandmother began to lose her teeth at age 16 due to the fact that the water quality in her hometown had no standards.If you have no luck finding any information, I can call my old boss and see what program it is for which she volunteers. She's done some beautiful work, not for the money; but to give a smile to people like you that just need.
You can keep your teeth until you're 100 if you take care of them. I think you should have the ones you have if you can. You can get partial dentures to fill in the spaces.
we'll i know what your talking about the bad teeth my life time
my parents spent alot money on my teeth growing up and it seems like i am still spending money if personal appearance affects your life i would say fix the problem now.
