Dentists

An operculectomy is a dental procedure that is performed to remove to remove a flap of tissue surrounding an impacted tooth. The ADA code for this procedure is D7971 for the excision of pericoronal gingiva.

I don't agree with the bottom answer. To make it simple, you can view cavities in two ways. If they appear on the surface of the tooth, any dentist can see it directly with his or her own eyes.

But if the cavity is between two teeth, or under a filling, the cavity can only be seen on an x-ray. All dentists should be equipped with dental x-rays. And knowing where the cavity is, a dentist drills to get to it. He can't. You might need to go to another dentist, that way it will be done correctly. Good luck to you:)

You need to chew on hot-ish tar and it will mould to you teeth. Hope i helped

Soft teeth can be a genetic factor and a lack of Calcium. Speak to your dentist so you can take care of your teeth and gums to the best of your ability.

as many scientists have said ice does not stop or reduce swelling it only makes it appear gone i just finished my medical degree and when the doctors said this i was shocked i always used this method but actually it worsens the bruise or injury i would suggest buying some creams and a good quality ones are the best take this into consideration XXX also peas are also bad dont forget t.v lies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do EXACTLY what your dentist told you to do. Nothing very hot or very cold. No sucking, not even smoking a cigarette til a clot forms, and if you are going to suck your noodle, then no. Any disturbance of the clotting can cause a very painful condition called " dry socket " . You do NOT want to experience this.

You need a tooth-brush and need to USE it because it is good for your heath, hygiene, your breath. It is also because if you don't brush your teeth daily you can get very bad cavity's and that will hurt. Your teeth will also look very bad and unattractive.

It's advised that you don't smoke cigarettes or anything of the sort, because of possible infection or "dry socket" issues. However, after 3 days or so, it should be okay.

(I mention this from a medical science standpoint...barring any local laws that may prohibit smoking marijuana, of course.)

I do believe that you need to see a dentist and not an orthodontist regarding a tooth abscess. If anything, the dentist would treat it or if need be, refer you to a specialist.

It is widely thought that the first black dentist in the UK was Edward Tull Warnock. He practiced in Scotland in Aberdeen, Girvan and Glasgow. He qualified with his L.D.S. (Glasgow) in 1910. His brother Walter was the second professional black footballer, playing for Spurs among other clubs. Walter was also the first black officer in the British Army.

How to pull you're own tooth yes it can be done. For the following you will need one clean pair of pliers, one clean wash cloth for padding around the tooth, some beer or strong liquor, a few gauze pads. Now lets begin get a buzz on with the beer or liquor take the wash cloth put that around the tooth you intend to take out so you don't feel the pressure on the tooth from the pliers and to reduce have a tooth break now pull back and forth in a rocking motion when the tooth loose enough pull then give it a good pull straight down it should come right out just make sure you have gotten all of the root out now if the tooth is lower part of you're mouth do the same but pull in an upward rocking motion it should come right out place a gauze pad in the socket and keep you're mouth clean as you can get drunk. A few other notes if a tooth is rotted near the gum line yes it might break off but that is a risk you have to deal with you can also use salt water to help with the pain and healing healing process.

If you are referring to an extraction, it will start to heal within a few weeks and should completely heal within a few months!

I did a lot of research on this and found many different answers all over the net. They ranged from 2 days to 2 weeks. One site I found even suggested that you use the extraction as an excuse to quit smoking all together. But if that is not an option for you, the general consensus was that you should wait a bare minimum of 48 hours after the extraction before having a cigarette. The longer you wait to have one seems to be directly related to your individual healing time. The chemicals they contain and even the sucking action performed may cause damage to the blood clot which is forming in the place where your tooth used to be. If you loose this blood clot you might get something called dry socket which is extremely painful and to be avoided if at all possible. Evidently the first 24 to 48 hours after the tooth is removed is the most crucial in your mouths recovery. The blood clot needs to be protected. Also NO HOT FOODS OR DRINKS for the first 24 hours. NO SNEEZING with your mouth open. NO SPITTING or RINSING for the first day, as this may dislodge the clot. On the second day start gently rinsing with salt water 3 to 5 times a day. Avoid crunchy food.

Anything from your dentist is certainly going to be a lot better than a supermarket product. I'd recommend speaking to your dentist and seeing what they recommend and can set you up with.

If you visit your Doctor and explain your problem, you may get a referral to an Oral Son the health service. This is very likely if you have a pathalogical condition , but unlikely if you just want whiter teeth , for example.

It's OK so long as you haven't eaten. If you're eating, take care that you rinse and remove any remnants of food because if these get into the wound it may not heal properly or become infected. Brushing is never a bad idea, just be very careful if you do so!

I would assume you would lose a small amount of weight. They suggest soft foods and/or clear liquids for 2-7 days after surgery. The pain and swelling also limit the amount of food you may want to eat. Whatever weight that is lost will most likely be regained once normal eating habits begin.

• Put ice on the extraction site.
• Use the drugs prescribed or recommended by your dentist.
• East soft foods for the first 24 hours.
• Rise with water and salt 3 to 4 times a day, but not for the first 24 hours.
• Do not smoke for at least 48 hours.

Yes a dentist can write a prescription for antibiotics when they are necessary within the scope of his/her practice. Generally a dentist will prescribe painkillers after an oral operation such as a wisdom tooth extraction. If the gums were to becomw infected for example, the dentist could prescribe a therapeutic amount of amoxil, azithromycin, and etc.

I would say yes if they are not wearing gloves, masks or the tools are not clean enough but you know you can get sick anywhere just from the door knobs of bathrooms anything really. It is always best to just wash your hands a lot and keep them out of your eyes. Not knowing what illness you are referring to it is hard to be specific but if you mean the common cold I would'nt get too worried as you can get this anywhere!!
