Is it okay to drink through straw with toothache?
When you take a gulp of something, the liquid touches all/most of your teeth; when you drink through a straw, the liquid touches less teeth. If you drink through a straw you use more muscles in your mouth and cheeks/ shift your jaw more which may irritate your tooth. However, if it is a cavity, and you must drink liquids that are not good for your teeth, then using a straw could be beneficial if you place the straw in a position that allows the liquid to be consumed without touching the hurting tooth. On the other hand, if the liquid always touches the same teeth/hurt tooth it could speed up the deterioration of the tooth.

Can an adult ever lost a tooth and then another tooth grows back in its place?
Depending on why you lost your tooth, if you never lost all of your baby teeth (just because you have teeth under your baby onesdoesn't mean your going to lose them (two of my teeth were growing in a way they wouldn't push my baby teeth out and at 17 I got them pulled and within a month they were fully grown in)) and your tooth eventually falls out because of the pressure from the tooth growing under it, or if by chance the tooth that you "accidentally lost" is a baby tooth, AND there is a tooth under it then yes. Other wise no. Go to a dentist.
You actually born with tooth buds inside your gums, your milk tooth buds are almost completed forming but the adult teeth have only started. The reason your milk teeth fall out is because the adult tooth bud has finished growing and crushes the root of the milk tooth. Some people are born without adult tooth buds. Count yourself lucky :/

Do endodonists make as much as cosmetic dentists?
I'm thinking that the endodontists likely make more.
An endodontist is a dental specialist trained in the diagnosis and treatment of dental issues arising in your tooth's dental pulp, tooth root, and surrounding tissue. All dentists receive some endodontic training, but endodontists are specially trained in all facets of endodontic therapy, completing additional years to learn advanced endodontic techniques.
What is a Stephens curve diagram in dentistry?
A graph which plots the pH of plaque against time. The graph shows a number of challenges (intakes of food) and how these cause a decrease in plaque pH and how saliva restores the pH to normal over time. The significance of this research is that it is the frequency of food intakes that is important not the total amount of food intake which determines cariogenicity.
What dentists accept Connecticut state dental insurance?
cos .. why are you SO stupid (iCarly said by Sam Puckett)
Yes. The fact that the parent brought the child to the dentist 'implies' consent to treatment. This is not as compelling as a signed "informed consent" but if it can be established that the parent did or reasonably should have understood that the child would be treated, then implied consent may be sufficient defense against a claim of non-consent.
It depends on the tooth and how it is in your mouth. Some wisdom teeth can be removed without surgery and some need surgery. The hole doesn't really affect needing surgery or not.
Wisdom teeth, if bothersome, usually are pulled. Most dentists prefer you see an oral surgeon just in case their should be any problems (generally there isn't.)
Just a little info as to why we have to put up with these miserable little additions in our mouth, here is why some people have them:
As you know we have changed with evolution, and thousands of years ago we had wider jaws, and needed more teeth. As our faces and bodies slimmed down to suit our generations to come, and unfortunately, for some, we have been blessed with wisdom teeth. They are useless and if they bother you in any way (even very sore gums back in your jaw ... this means the wisdom tooth is not quite coming through) it is best to have them removed.
Good luck Marcy

Why are the front teeth most effected in baby bottle tooth decay?
Nursing bottle tooth decay is caused when a baby is put to bed or falls asleep with a bottle in his/her mouth. What happens is the milk or substance in the bottle drip into the mouth and remain in contact with the teeth. Over time the milk turns to sugar and causes decay on the teeth. This is also true about juice and kool aid...NEVER put your baby to bed with a bottle...the damage can also effect their permanent teeth!
