My dentist lead me to believe I NEEDED upper implants due to bone thinness to support denture isn't that misleading?

Not necessarily. Maybe he didn't want to give you dentures if he knew they wouldn't fit right or be supported without implants. Have you had dentures before? Did you go in to his office and complain about how dentures never fit you? Implants may be the best solution and he may not want to give you a set of dentures that he knows you will be unhappy with.

Can you smoke directly after you have your wisdom teeth extracted?

You can pack the site with moist gauze, bite down and then inhale...this will keep the clot in the tooth. You must use moist gauze for each smoke for 3 days, or 8 days for a wisdom tooth. How do I know? I am a smoker and have had two teeth pulled this month alone on separate occasions.

If you keep the hole covered with the moist gauze, your clot will stay where it needs to be :)

How do kids with 1p36 deletion syndrome see a dentist?

My son has 1p36 syndrome and has been to the dentist a few times. He is 4 years old and doesn't communicate very well. Luckily he goes to a pediatric dentist who is very understanding. For most of the visits they just have us hold him while they do a quick exam. He did have to have a filling once and they used a mouth piece to hold his mouth open and rolled him up in a blanket so he would stay still. He did cry the entire time but it only took a few minutes. Hope this helps.
