Can you smoke if you have a dry socket already What are the dangers?
the same as if you smoke regularly.
Why do some people's teeth turn yellow?
It is possible to have a tooth turn dark because there was no permanent tooth underneath. Mine was a baby tooth and all I was ever told by any dentist was, "You have a baby tooth, with no tooth under it, so I'd recommend leaving it alone unless it gives you problems." It remained and was a healthy tooth until my mid forties. At that time several teeth weakened but I was told that was due to chemotherapy and heavy medications, so the discolored or dark tooth may have lasted longer without the other complications.
Is it ok to chew gum after getting your wisdom teeth pulled?
No. That will cause more bleeding. Never do any action that relates to sucking after oral surgery. It will just promote more bleeding and slow the healing process.
Assuming that you know what a toothbrush and dental floss are and use them, and assuming that you make the occassional trip to the dentist, neither is harmful. The sugar in sweetened sodas, if left unchallenged by dental hygiene, can promote tooth decay. The artificial sweeteners in "diet" soda is proven not to promote tooth decay.
AnswerThe acid in diet coke causes tooth decay, regardless, although the acidity in diet coke is less than apple juice/apple cider. Although both will stain your teeth. AnswerThey are both horrible for your teeth, but if you want to choose one then go with the diet coke because it doesn't have as much sugars in it.Where do you buy a Dentist Ticket on marapets?

How did interest in soccer grow?
The best thing to promote US soccer will be to improve Major League Soccer level.
- More teams competiting in MLS (like 16 or 20)
- End of the "Franchise" system, or creation of a lower division to create a European "two sided" competition : those who want to win, those who don't want to die.
- More "stars" allowed in US teams
- More international/continental confrontations with other teams (especially Mexican, Brazilian, Argentinian)
I think it really promote US soccer :)
Will expired Crest White Strips still work?
Not nearly as well. The active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. It degrades to water and oxygen over time. After expiration, there is still active ingredient, but, depending on long they've been expired, the effect is diminished.

What is the salary of an orthodontist in Canada?
Orthodontists' bills are paid directly by patients or by their insurance companies. An orthodontist with an established practice can generate a great deal of money, but half or more of that money could go to pay for equipment, staff salaries, insurance, and other overhead costs.
Orthodontists who own their own practices must also pay for their own health insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits.
Even after these costs are taken into account, however, orthodontists have very good earnings. While precise figures are not available for Canadian orthodontists, most earn between $100,000 and $400,000 a year. However, remember that it takes many years of study and practice to make it to this level of income.

What happens if wisdom teeth are not removed?
That depends on how big a person's mouth is, and what other teeth they have, but typically, they become impacted because there is no room for them in the mouth, and they can push your teeth out of place (kind of the reverse of braces), and they can also get infected and cause a lot of pain.
Before I had braces on, it was suggested that I have my wisdom teeth removed, so I did. It could however depend on the individuals teeth, mine were quite crowded or as they call it impacted. You'll be glad you got braces, good for you. Very often, if wisdom teeth have no room to erupt, it is recommended to extract them following an orthodontic treatment.
What can hurt when your wisdom teeth are coming in?
The wisdom teeth can in fact hurt your jaw if there is no enough room for them to grow properly in your jaw bone. Wisdom teeth have high possibility of getting impacted as a result of smaller jaw bones. One of the most common reasons is to inherit the jaw size from one parent and teeth size from another parent and if the jaw size and teeth size are in discrepancy you end up having impacted wisdom teeth. The other reason could be simply because of some changes in the pathway your wisdom teeth are growing. For getting more info please click on this link here.

How do you remove braces without going to the dentist?
I recommend a professional removing your braces, but that is not always an option. I just removed my braces today and I did it by taking scissors and putting the single blade between my tooth and the brace. With a little leverage they popped right off. I don't know how bad it is for you but that is how I did it. My biggest problem now is getting the gunk off my teeth but it feels so good to have them off.
How do i stop the dentist from knowing i have smoked?
pretty sure if you're smoking more than 1-2 ciggs a day he/she is gonna know.
Why are your top front teeth the biggest?
The word "incise" means to cut, and the incisors are used to cut food.
They typically obtain an undergraduate degree that can take 3-4 years and then have to apply for dental school. Upon being accepting into dental school, graduate studies take typically 4 years to complete and receive their doctorate. They then have the option to to additional studies(i.e. residency) or they can go to work immediately.

Will wisdom teeth extraction hurt when on laughing gas?
If you are properly anesthesized by the gas, you won't feel anything the entire time. In most cases, you may be still under the effect after the surgery so get some help leaving and don't plan on driving. The only advice I have related to this is to immediately get the prescriptions filled and take all the medicine as directed the day of. You may not feel like you need it because of the laughing gas, but you will need it.
After you have your wisdom teeth pulled is it normal for something white to be in the hole?
It could either be some food stuck in the hole, or it can be the blood cloth that is forming. If it was infected, you would see white pus coming out of it.
Full recovery should take three months and you would feel the holes for a few weeks.
1 week after my extraction I noticed that the hole turned a little bit whitish in the center. This is part of the healing process, think of it as a scab.
When can you start eating Chinese food after you get your wisdom teeth pulled out?
If you had them all removed at the same time it may be hard to eat in any case but with most of our patients we will take them from only one side to let the patient eat on the other until they are healed or the patient is ready to get the othere pulled.
Most of the time it is treated like most extractions, exept for stiches which may be put if the hole is large in combination with a gel foam which helps to keep the blood clot in place to start healing. Keeping the extraction area free from food and keeping the blood clot in place is the most important. You can eat almost whatever you want exept for irritants such as spicy foods pork and straws are not recommended for some time a few days after the procedure. But keep an eye on the areas. Keep it clean and eat what you feel you can tollerate.

Can a toothache cause a heart attack?
Si porque las enfermedades dentales estan relacionadas con enfermedades cardiovasculares tales como: bacterias y virus que pueden encontrarse en un diente dañado. Investigadores de la universidad de Virginia, descifraron el genoma de bacterias normalmente presente en la boca humana sana que puede causar una infección cardiaca mortal si penetra en el torrente sanguíneo. El estreptococo sanguinis, un tipo de bacteria que esta presente en la boca naturalmente, se encuentra entre una variedad de microorganismos responsables de la formación de la placa dental. Sin embargo, si entra al torrente sanguíneo, a través de un pequeño corte o herida de la boca, puede causar una endocarditis bacteriana, una infección grave o incluso la muerte.
Las personas con problemas cardíacos preexistentes ( hipertensión, diabetes mellitus, insuficiencia cardiaca, aterosclerosis) se encuentran en mayor riesgo de desarrollar endocarditis bacteriana, ataques cardiacos y accidentes cerebrovasculares. Antes de la cirugía dental estos pacientes reciben altas dosis de antibióticos para prevenir la infección.
Un dolor de muela agudo puede con llevar no necesariamente por la liberación de catecolaminas(dopamina,noradrenalina,epinefrina), por la ansiedad del dolor y los factores predisponentes mencionados arriba a un ataque al corazón (Infarto agudo al miocardio).
según estudios realizados en Suecia y Uruguay, un dolor de muelas o dolor en la mandíbula puede ser sólo una señal de un ataque al corazón. Sin embargo, los síntomas se pasan por alto muy a menudo. El estudio demostró que las mujeres que sufren de ataque al corazón o angina de pecho pueden sufrir de dolor de dientes o la mandíbula sin ningún tipo de dolor en el pecho. Estos estudios realizados en Suecia y Uruguay, junto con varios cadiólogos y dentistas, sugirió que el dolor facial fue el síntoma más común. El dolor era también igual en ambos lados de la cara y aumenta cuando el paciente hizo algún tipo de esfuerzo físico.

Can you brush your teeth after you have wisdom teeth removed?
If you aren't bending over and washing your hair under the shower there is no reason you can't wash your hair. Here is a little tip I always use ... when you are blow-drying your hair set it on low and let the warm air run into each ear. This helps dry out any water you may get in the ear canal. Rinse your mouth out several times a day with luke warm water and salt (toughens the gums) and I not only normally brush my teeth, but swish salted water around my gums to strengthen my gums. My dentist asked me how it was possible I had gums like a 20 year old (I'm almost 65 years old) and I told him. He was amazed and told me he was going to tell his other patients.

- voids on insufficient packing
- difficult to condense - may stick to instrument on condensing
- turns brittle quickly after setting
- unsuitable for use by itself
- not flexible enough to take the shape of the root and completely seal by itself
- needs a paste (sealer)
- lacks resilience
