Why do dentists put crowns on your teeth?

Dentists can place crowns on wisdom teeth (3rd molars). It all depends on whether it is appropriate to do so.

Often, wisdom teeth are relatively unimportant to the function of the patient's mouth, and therefore it would be a waste of time, money and effort to restore them with a crown or filling. On the other hand, sometimes wisdom teeth can be important, especially if they are in occlusion and the patient is missing 1st or 2nd molars.

If you have doubts about your dentist's recommendations, seek another opinion from an oral surgeon or prostodontist (crown & bridge specialist).

Can your regular dentist fix the gap in your front two teeth?

Orthodontic retainers are primarily designed to do what the name implies, namely, "retain" the teeth in their current positions. If the particular appliance has some sort of adjustment mechanism that can be tightened, and thereby apply forces to the teeth to move them, then it it not a true "retainer." It is advisable to seek the services of a dental specialist called an orthodontist to move your teeth. When teeth are moved, the occlusion, or biting forces in the mouth are affected. This needs to be monitored closely because improper occlusion can result in severe long-term problems, such as premature and severe wear of the teeth, and TMJ (jaw joint) pain and damage. It is important to avoid these problems because sometimes they are not reversable, and they are always expensive and time-consuming to correct.

Your wisdom teeth do not necessarily have to be pulled out. Usually, the situation is that the gums are not large enough to accommodate all of your teeth, including the wisdom ones, hence they have to be removed to prevent crowding, which can be very painful in some cases. There are a few people whose mouths are large enough to accommodate wisdom teeth, so they don't have to be pulled out.

Did anyone get a sore throat while the wisdom teeth were coming in?

There shouldn't be a connection between a sore throat and the eruption of teeth. Unless there is an infection in your mouth. I did have a slightly sore throat following the extraction of a lower (and troublesome) wisdom tooth.) The sore throat was not caused by the tooth itself or an infection, but was actually reportedly caused by three things: (1) limited liquid intake after extraction (because of pain) caused my mouth to be dryer than normal (2) during surgery, debris (including parts of the tooth, blood, and medication) entered my throat (this is common and expected) The debris can cause some temporary irritation (3) some minor nerve damage after extraction can "mimic" the feeling of a dry or sore throat, especially when the nerve damage involves a slight numbness of the tongue. In all of these cases (except some cases of more permanent nerve damage) should be temporary and go away within one to two weeks after extraction.

It does also dry your mouth out a bit so if you buy a good mouth wash with fluoride and with out alcohol in it to use the rest of the day and week it will help fight cavities caused by dry mouth.

If your gums do get a little burnt they will appear white close to the teeth and hurt a little, rinse with warm salt water multiple times per day and it should heal up pretty quickly.

What collage can you go to become a dentist?

All 50 States and the District of Columbia require dentists to be licensed. To qualify for a license in most States, candidates must graduate from an accredited dental school and pass written and practical examinations. Education and training. In 2006, there were 56 dental schools accredited by the American Dental Association's (ADA's) Commission on Dental Accreditation. Dental schools require a minimum of 2 years of college-level predental education prior to admittance. Most dental students have at least a bachelor's degree before entering dental school, although a few applicants are accepted to dental school after 2 or 3 years of college and complete their bachelor's degree while attending dental school. High school and college students who want to become dentists should take courses in biology, chemistry, physics, health, and mathematics. College undergraduates planning on applying to dental school are required to take many science courses. Because of this, some choose a major in a science, such as biology or chemistry, while others take the required science coursework while pursuing a major in another subject. All dental schools require applicants to take the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). When selecting students, schools consider scores earned on the DAT, applicants' grade point averages, and information gathered through recommendations and interviews. Competition for admission to dental school is keen. Dental school usually lasts 4 academic years. Studies begin with classroom instruction and laboratory work in science, including anatomy, microbiology, biochemistry, and physiology. Beginning courses in clinical sciences, including laboratory techniques, are also completed. During the last 2 years, students treat patients, usually in dental clinics, under the supervision of licensed dentists. Most dental schools award the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). Others award an equivalent degree, Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). Some dental school graduates work for established dentists as associates for 1 to 2 years to gain experience and save money to equip an office of their own. Most dental school graduates, however, purchase an established practice or open a new one immediately after graduation. Licensure. Licensing is required to practice as a dentist. In most States, licensure requires passing written and practical examinations in addition to having a degree from an accredited dental school. Candidates may fulfill the written part of the State licensing requirements by passing the National Board Dental Examinations. Individual States or regional testing agencies administer the written or practical examinations. In 2006, 17 States licensed or certified dentists who intended to practice in a specialty area. Requirements include 2 to 4 years of postgraduate education and, in some cases, the completion of a special State examination. Most State licenses permit dentists to engage in both general and specialized practice. Other qualifications. Dentistry requires diagnostic ability and manual skills. Dentists should have good visual memory, excellent judgment regarding space, shape, and color, a high degree of manual dexterity, and scientific ability. Good business sense, self-discipline, and good communication skills are helpful for success in private practice. Advancement. Dentists who want to teach or conduct research usually spend an additional 2 to 5 years in advanced dental training, in programs operated by dental schools or hospitals. A recent survey by the American Dental Education Association showed that 11 percent of new graduates enrolled in postgraduate training programs to prepare for a dental specialty.

Wisdom teeth have nothing to do with thinking. They are probably called that because they appear later on in life when one is supposed to be "wise".

They are vestigial and serve no purpose whatsoever. Just like our tail bone is a vestigial organ so are the wisdom teeth in man.
