Will wisdom teeth extraction hurt when on laughing gas?

If you are properly anesthesized by the gas, you won't feel anything the entire time. In most cases, you may be still under the effect after the surgery so get some help leaving and don't plan on driving. The only advice I have related to this is to immediately get the prescriptions filled and take all the medicine as directed the day of. You may not feel like you need it because of the laughing gas, but you will need it.

After you have your wisdom teeth pulled is it normal for something white to be in the hole?

Answer

It could either be some food stuck in the hole, or it can be the blood cloth that is forming. If it was infected, you would see white pus coming out of it.

Full recovery should take three months and you would feel the holes for a few weeks.


Answer

1 week after my extraction I noticed that the hole turned a little bit whitish in the center. This is part of the healing process, think of it as a scab.

When can you start eating Chinese food after you get your wisdom teeth pulled out?

If you had them all removed at the same time it may be hard to eat in any case but with most of our patients we will take them from only one side to let the patient eat on the other until they are healed or the patient is ready to get the othere pulled.

Most of the time it is treated like most extractions, exept for stiches which may be put if the hole is large in combination with a gel foam which helps to keep the blood clot in place to start healing. Keeping the extraction area free from food and keeping the blood clot in place is the most important. You can eat almost whatever you want exept for irritants such as spicy foods pork and straws are not recommended for some time a few days after the procedure. But keep an eye on the areas. Keep it clean and eat what you feel you can tollerate.

Can a toothache cause a heart attack?

Si porque las enfermedades dentales estan relacionadas con enfermedades cardiovasculares tales como: bacterias y virus que pueden encontrarse en un diente dañado. Investigadores de la universidad de Virginia, descifraron el genoma de bacterias normalmente presente en la boca humana sana que puede causar una infección cardiaca mortal si penetra en el torrente sanguíneo. El estreptococo sanguinis, un tipo de bacteria que esta presente en la boca naturalmente, se encuentra entre una variedad de microorganismos responsables de la formación de la placa dental. Sin embargo, si entra al torrente sanguíneo, a través de un pequeño corte o herida de la boca, puede causar una endocarditis bacteriana, una infección grave o incluso la muerte.
Las personas con problemas cardíacos preexistentes ( hipertensión, diabetes mellitus, insuficiencia cardiaca, aterosclerosis) se encuentran en mayor riesgo de desarrollar endocarditis bacteriana, ataques cardiacos y accidentes cerebrovasculares. Antes de la cirugía dental estos pacientes reciben altas dosis de antibióticos para prevenir la infección.
Un dolor de muela agudo puede con llevar no necesariamente por la liberación de catecolaminas(dopamina,noradrenalina,epinefrina), por la ansiedad del dolor y los factores predisponentes mencionados arriba a un ataque al corazón (Infarto agudo al miocardio).
según estudios realizados en Suecia y Uruguay, un dolor de muelas o dolor en la mandíbula puede ser sólo una señal de un ataque al corazón. Sin embargo, los síntomas se pasan por alto muy a menudo. El estudio demostró que las mujeres que sufren de ataque al corazón o angina de pecho pueden sufrir de dolor de dientes o la mandíbula sin ningún tipo de dolor en el pecho. Estos estudios realizados en Suecia y Uruguay, junto con varios cadiólogos y dentistas, sugirió que el dolor facial fue el síntoma más común. El dolor era también igual en ambos lados de la cara y aumenta cuando el paciente hizo algún tipo de esfuerzo físico.

Can you brush your teeth after you have wisdom teeth removed?

If you aren't bending over and washing your hair under the shower there is no reason you can't wash your hair. Here is a little tip I always use ... when you are blow-drying your hair set it on low and let the warm air run into each ear. This helps dry out any water you may get in the ear canal. Rinse your mouth out several times a day with luke warm water and salt (toughens the gums) and I not only normally brush my teeth, but swish salted water around my gums to strengthen my gums. My dentist asked me how it was possible I had gums like a 20 year old (I'm almost 65 years old) and I told him. He was amazed and told me he was going to tell his other patients.

Can you fly on a plane with a toothache?

absolutely not. your tooth is most likely going to retract back into your gums causing excruciating pain. it is best just to take a bus or train No, the cabin pressure in the airplane will make you feel worse. You really should get the abscessed tooth fixed before traveling anywhere. You don't want to be in unfamiliar surroundings and have to see a dentist of unkown origin, as you might be sorry or even worse become extremely ill, thus hindering your ability to return home. so correct the health concern first then travel. abscessed tooth can become so infected, if not treated properly can not only lead to tooth loss but sepsis. ( a condition from infection that poisons your bloodstream.) 1. Neither answer 1 or 2 were responsive to the question: "Is it SAFE..." 2. Although answers 1 and 2 may not be incorrect, the answer to the question asked is NO, it is NOT UNSAFE to fly after having a tooth pulled.

Should a dentist pull 6 baby teeth at once?

A reputable dentist would not pull baby teeth without a reason he could back up with X-rays and published research. The most common area of a dentist pulling baby teeth is the upper incisors and canines. He would be concerned, if there was evidence via X-rays, that the permanent teeth were becoming impacted or twisting because of the late eruption of the permanent teeth, and may make the decision to help nature along.

Why do some people never lose their baby teeth?

Because the tooth nerve is made up of three major parts that cause the baby tooth to be pushed out and a new one to come in. sometimes not all of the teeth get reached therefore the person with this problem probably will never even get wisdom teeth. it is rare yet it happens.

The same thing happens with hair in some people. it grows only to a certain length and may break off at any given point and will not ever grow any longer than it's greatest length. that's because the hair goes through the growing phase, the resting phase, the done growing stage.

on one person the fullgrown hair is 9 feet 7 inches, on another person, may it only be 8 inches total.

everyone is different therefore it makes sense.

What can you eat when your wisdom teeth are growing in?

For a few days, soup, yogurt, ice cream, Jello, milk, fruit juices.

Mashed potatoes are your best friend! Instant mashed potatoes are quick, easy, cheap, and come in many different flavors. The best part is that there is no chewing required! And they're filling. I just put some on my tongue and use it to work the potatoes back so I don't have to suck either.

Can your dentist withhold your permanent crown due to nonpayment?

No, they cannot withhold your crown if they have already prepared the tooth. They are obligated to see the procedure through to completion once it has been started, regardless of payment status. However, this does not mean you do not have to pay or can get away without paying. If you do not pay, they will go through a collections process, or possibly even sue you for non-payment of services rendered. It is generally easier just to arrange payment terms than to deal with collections, legal concerns, credit concerns, and possibly wrecking whatever relationship you have with your dentist.

What should you do after having a molar pulled?

I used sea salt soaks on my pulled tooth with great results. You want to get the non iodine sea salt. Mix it in some warm water till it tastes like tears. (pretty weak) Then use it to gently swish around the hole. You can also hold it on the hole. Do not swollow. You can also rinse with some water after if you like. Be sure that you don't use a straw to drink with for a few days. This is what caused mine to start to get infected, but the sea salt cleared it right up.

Is it possible to have no wisdom teeth pulled out?

It is possible for your wisdom teeth never to erupt. They probably are there, but they're buried under your gums. The word, "impacted" is used to describe a tooth that develops lying on its side or in some other strange position.
