Can dentist put filling on top of another filling?

Yes in certain condition we can put a filling on another filling. In other cases we have to remove the old filling and put another one. But when there is too much filling on a rooth, it's better to put a dental crown.

If the Dentist says the tooth cracked because of grinding and not because of the filling he put in 2 weeks ago is this correct?

it is most likely the tooth had a small crack in it anyway. the tooth was alittle"high"from the new filling and the extra pressure from biting on it, cracked the tooth. usually after a new filling, you should go back to have the filling polished which strengthens the filling and adjusts the bite.

When should you eat regular foods after a wisdom tooth extraction?

For the first day eat only soft foods that are not too warm and not too cold. After a few days you can start eating normally. Do not rinse with water and salt for the first 24 hours. After that rinse 3 times a day, for about a week.

It is prudent to follow the advice of the dentist or oral surgeon who removed the teeth. Each individual case is unique. The doctor or his/her staff should be available for at least a few days following the surgery to answer your questions and provide follow-up care.

Do not smoke for at least 72 hours.

If your 14 years old and you can wobble your teeth a tiny bit with your finger is it normal?

Yes, this is normal for you, just as it is for adults, too. But if the tooth gets actually loose, then you may need to see a dentist. Unless that happens, there is nothing to worry about.

What are winters lines in regard to impacted teeth?

Winter's Lines (WAR)

The position & depth of the mandibular 3rd molar can be

determined using the Winter's Lines(WAR). These are 3

imaginary lines (red, amber & white) "drawn" on the dental

X-ray (these days, normally an OPG / DPT).

White Line

The white line is drawn along the occlusal surfaces of the

erupted mandibular molars & extended over the 3rd molar

posteriorly. It indicates the difference in occlusal level of

the 1st & 2nd molars & the 3rd molar.

Amber Line

The amber line represents the (height of the) bone level.

The amber line is drawn from the surface of the bone on

the distalaspect of the 3rd molar (or from the ascending

ramus) to the crest of the inter-dental septumtwixt the 1st

& 2nd molars. This line denotes the margin of the alveolar

bonecovering the 3rd molar and gives some indication to

the amount of bone that will need to be removed for the

tooth to come out.

Red Line

The red lineis an imaginary line drawn perpendicular from

the amber line to an imaginary point of application of an

elevator. Usually, this is the cemento-enamel junctionon

the mesialaspect of the impacted tooth (unless, it is the

disto-angular impacted tooth where the application point

is the distal cemento-enamel junction). The red line

indicates the amount of bone that will have to be removed

before elevation of the tooth i.e. the depth of the tooth in

the jaw & the difficulty encountered in removing the tooth.

With each increase in length of the red line by 1mm, the

impacted tooth becomes 3 x more difficult to remove (as

opined by Howe). If the red line is < 5mm, than the tooth

can be removed under just LA; anything above, a GA or

LA Sedationwould be more appropriate.

How is a puncture into the nasal cavity from a dry socket following a tooth extraction fixed?

Following a tooth extraction 11 days ago you can feel what appears to be part of the tooth in the socket and every time you eat or drink the socket is extremely painful is this OK?

If you still feel what may be part of your tooth left in the socket, that is not good. I would suggest seeing your dentist, or oral surgeon about this as part of your tooth may have broken in the process of the extraction. If there is no partial tooth remaining, you may have what is called dry socket, which is extremely painful. This website will explain "dry socket" to you: http://www.dentalgentlecare.com/dry_socket.htm

What is the better choice as a career being a surgeon or a dentist in England?

most definitely a dentist, because of Englands government supplied healthcare, doctors get paid much less than normal. Since people with the government option are fully covered for dental expenses, dentist get paid much more and much quicker, my answer: most definitely a dentist

Answer

It depends, I chose medicine over dentistry, but money wasn't the factor. A consultant medical practitioner or GP in my area in England can earn over £100,000 per year from NHS work alone, and is free to do whatever Private work they choose, causing that figure to rise greatly. Consultant dentists working in the NHS (as it provides dental as well as health care) earn £71,000- £161,000 per year depending on experience, as it uses nationally defined salery bands. Other than that, a dentist can be self employed, in which case, it is impossible to predict.
