Is it better to get all wisdom teeth removed at the same time or do them separately?
That really depends on what your main concern is. For many, money is the main concern. Dental care costs a pretty penny, especially for the oral surgery required to remove the widom teeth. If you need all four removed, it may be cheaper to just remove all four at one time. You will save some money on painkiller and the stuff they use to put you asleep (if you decide to be put under). If you do them all at the same time, you only have to pay for that once, but doing them separately means paying for painkillers each time. Pain is also a big issue with getting the wisdom teeth removed. I got all four of mine removed when I was 13, and I felt horrible for the first two days. I still wasn't completely better for probably a week. For people older than me, it will be worse for them. It may not be a considerable amount worse, but still, it's a possibility. No matter how you set yours up, you will most likely feel pain. Some say that by spacing it out, you don't have to deal with all that pain at the same time. Others say doing all of them together will make it easier because it's done and over with. After getting one or two removed and experiencing that, you probably wouldn't want to go through that again. In a way, it may be better to get all over with, especially if you can only take off so many days from work. All in all, this adivce doesn't and probably won't apply to everyone. To make the best decision, you should probably talk to your dentist or oral surgeon. Talking to other people who have gotten their wisdom teeth removed will also help you make a better decision.
Does getting a tooth pulled out for braces hurt?
No not at the time because they numb the gum so u pritty much can't feel anything. But after the drug wears off u have this constant pain it sort of feels uncomfortable more than anything. So u have nothing to worry about
Hope this helps
When should you stop eating before you get your wisdom teeth out?
It depends on whether or not you will be put to sleep. If you are going to stay awake, then you are fine to eat right up until the surgery. Just make sure your mouth is really clean before you go. If you will be put to sleep, you are advised to not eat for 6-8 prior. Anesthesia commonly makes people nauseous and if you have eaten recently can cause vomiting. That is no fun with open sores in your mouth.
How do you unnumb your mouth fast?
To Un-numb your mouth after having fillings done at the dentist you will need:
A glass of warm watter
Flour
Olive Oil
You will aply olive oil on the outisde of your mouht where its numb and wait 10 minutes. After that drink only a half of warm water (leave the rest for later).
Put flour inside your mouth and massage it gently from the outside only for 5 minutes . After this you put a little bit of flour on your finger tips and you jab the numbed spot for 2 minutes. After drink the other half of warm water and wait for 15 minutes and the numbing should be gone.
A tooth ache may indicate a serious infection. If left untreated these can kill you.
I believe that in certain situations~ a heart attack, stroke,or even aneurism can occur from extreme high blood pressure cause by stress,and strain brought on by the pain..
Do all dentists like their jobs?
Yes !! for the most part. We get to smile a lot :-) Some days are ....well you know crazy. But we get to go home and forget about work. Most of us work four day weeks in our forties and with good planning we are financially secure.
It's interaction with a lot of folks and it's also about managing a business and being a doctor at the same time.
What happens when there is no adult tooth following the baby tooth?
If the baby tooth is in good condition and is stable, it may be left alone. If its is not or is an aesthetic issue, then extraction and prosthodontic replacement(i.e..dental implant) may be a better or necessary option.
Are you supposed to lose your back teeth?
This is a difficult question to answer without more information.
If you are talking about your baby molars then yes, you lose them and they are replaced by the adult premolar teeth. You lose these between the ages of 9 and 12. At this time your adult first molars are usually already erupted and your adult second molars are just starting to erupt. See the tooth eruption chart below.
If you are referring to your adult molars then, no, under normal circumstances you should not lose them. We routinely extract the wisdom teeth (adult 3rd molars) however loss of adult teeth usually indicates some kind of disease process, such as Periodontal Disease.
Hope this helps!

How will the dentist treat a tooth with a small hole in the front of it?
The whole is most likely from a cavity so they will put a filling in it. Most likely the dentist will get you numb. When you are numb they will drill out any decay and then shape the whole so it will hold a filling properly. If it is a front tooth, you will get a tooth colored filling. If it is a back tooth, you could get a silver filling or a tooth colored filling. That depends on your insurance, the docotor and you. If you have more questions, the dentist should answer any of them before beginning the work.
Why are molars sometimes called wisdom teeth?
Because by the time you get them, you are old enough and smart enough to grab pliers and rip them out yourself instead going to the dentist and giving them a ridiculous amount to do it when you have all of the tools to do so in your shed.
Does medicare cover impacted wisdom teeth?
This depends of the country you live in, and even the province or state. It also depends on the policy you have, even within the same provider. The best thing would be to contact your local dentist, or the dental section of your hospital, or your insurance provider and ask them.
There are also dental plans that are not insurance, but offer reduced rates that might help reduce the costs of extractions.
What happens when you develop a cavity in your tooth what kind of change?
a hole forms in the enamel. it can be caused by many things. but decay begins and this hole progresses until it eventual reaches a nerve and becomes infected.
It might help a little, but if your father or mother have gapped teeth, you probably will too.
AnswerWhen your wisdom teeth will come out, if you have space, they might close some gaps between your back teeth. It is less likely that they will help closing the gaps between your anterior teeth.To do so, it is better to do an orthodontic treatment.
I had gaps between my anterior teeth, like my grandfather did. It was corrected by braces in middle school within only a year. My wisdom teeth came in and still have plenty of room. I found that my teeth tend to move outward, so I still wear braces overnight at least once a week, fifteen years later.
AnswerAlthough my teeth are straight, I have gaps in them due to their shape (normal teeth are triangular, mine are square) or so my dentist says. Because the teeth are already straight (not needing braces^), my dentist said the solution to my gaps is porcelain veneers. He also said that braces would only force my teeth together, and that they would constantly be moving back to their original place because they were already in the correct position. I had my wisdom teeth removed while they were still impacted. My mother also only had gaps in her upper front teeth, and when her wisdom teeth erupted they pushed her upper and bottom front teeth together, eliminating the gaps, but also causing her bottom teeth to become crooked. Waiting for you wisdom teeth to erupt is not the best solution to the gapped teeth, seeing as how they could cause other complications.Does getting 4 teeth pulled at the same time hurt?
no...i had 2 of my teeth pulled out the other day so I could have a brace fitted it didn't hurt me at all. the dentist will numb your mouth first you shouldn't feel any pain. hope this helped :)
Can wisdom teeth start coming in at age 13 and a half?

(above--already written)

Could you get your wisdom teeth out when your 10?
While it is possible, because every child develops differently as they mature and grow, having problematic wisdom teeth (3rd molars) that require removal at that age would be quite unusual. Wisdom teeth most often do not require removal until at least age 16.
Can you have all your teeth removed and replaced with denture?
hmm well i am in no way clued up on this subject but after a quick look around the net it becomes apparent that yes you can have all your teeth replaced with full dental implants this is something i have just started to look at myself. but with not much mentioned about cost , this is probably one of the better alternatives to replacement teeth if ur looking for fixed teeth. it can be done as long as you have enough jaw bone left, this may be determend by if u still have teeth at the time of getting implantes or indeed how long u have been without teeth, as i mentioned before i am in no way a dentist but i think that the longer u have been without teeth then the bone that once held your tooth or teeth will have drasticly reduced in size as it has not ben used and thinks it is fine to shrink down, all this along with what other work your chosen dentist may have to carry out prior to the work being done like removal of old decayed teeth i can only imagine can make the cost run sky high as we all know dentistry is in no way cheap in the first place.an obvious alternative to cost would be to go abroad for treatment i think this way you may even be able to cut the cost by more than half. i hope this helped a little.
How many teeth are replaced in a matured human?

Once you get your wisdom teeth extracted how long does it take for the wholes to close up?
On the average about 2-3 weeks to fully regenerate. It is gradual to the point you will hardly tell. Gums have the capacity to heal quicky. Anywhere from a month to a year, depending on your body and the procedure that was done.
