Where to get wisdom teeth removed at low cost for an 18 year old?

Go to Mexico. The cost in Mexico for dental work is maybe a third or a quarter of what it costs in USA/Canada/UnitedKingdom/Europe. Here's the good part: You can book airline tickets, hotel costs, and ground transportation, to get you from your hometown to Mexico, for LESS than what dental work would cost in those other places Beware of dental work in Mexico
How do you fix a gap between your front teeth which is already a bridge?
The price of dental care is RIDICULOUS. You pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars for work on your teeth, or dentures and partials that aren't always 100% effective.
That's one reason why I myself am pioneering a new field in dental-cosmetics. With 35 years of experience I believe I am qualified to manufacture a new product which I have come to call "Easy Smiles". Here's how it works- I make a "tray" from a model of your teeth. Then I use filler the same color of your teeth to fill in any gaps or discoloring between teeth. You now have a paper thin, durable, clear plastic tray that will appear to close any gaps, and fix any discoloring. You can wear them whenever you want no matter where you are, and appear to have a perfect smile, easy! I am located in southeast Michigan, but I can work with people across the country. My average rate is approximately 500 dollars.
If you are interested, or have any questions, please feel free to email me at "swawk@sbcglobal.net". Please subject your email "Easy Smiles".

How much does a pediactric dentist make?
I'm in the finance club in my dental school and we were given a booklet of the average income of new England dentists and specialists. It put pediatric dentists at right around $500,000 net. This is obviously before taxes. If this seems high to you visit a pediatric office, they see 4-5 times more patients than a general dentist. I know of some on the west coast that make $700,000ish. They do work their asses off though!
How long are you normally numb after having 4 wisdom teeth pulled?
It should only last a few hours after the surgery. If it lasts more than one day, you should call your dentist, as you may be suffering from temporary paresthesia.
Personal Experiences: I just had my four pulled. I was numb from the novacaine for a couple hours afterwards, but that also might be because he gave me another shot of it before I left so I could have time to recover some before I had to start taking my pain meds.
I had all four wisdom teeth out a week ago and the left side of my lip and chin are still numb. It's from whatever drugs I was given, and I've been told it can last a few weeks to a few months; anything longer than 6 months I should go see the oral surgeon, as it could be a damaged nerve and would require more surgery. I was told this by the dentist and surgeon, along with some research.
Is there a wide variance in the price of cosmetic dentistry procedures?
"Yes, the prices for cosmetic dentistry varies dramatically depending on what you want done. A cheaper, non invasive procedure is the teeth bleaching, where a complete set of dental implants would be much more."
Can alcohol abuse cause thrush?
Thrush is a yeast infection that can occur in the mouth, throat and vagina. Drinking alone does not cause it, but the nutritional deficiencies* that go along with alcohol abuse and alcoholism could certainly contribute to immune deficiency that could allow thrush to develop. Frankly, if you have thrush it would be a good idea to see a doctor about some follow-up tests.
*Alcohol prevents nutrients from being absorbed and utilized properly. All alcoholics suffer from vitamin and other deficiencies.
Can I sue my dentist for pulling my teeth out?
No- you paid him to operate on you. You could try, unless you told him to stop, you will not get anywhere.
Answer:
It depends on a number of factors.
First, did the dentist have your permission to remove your teeth? If you signed something called "informed consent" which discussed the reasonable potential complications, then he probably did have permission to remove your teeth.
Second, did he perform the surgery to the standard of care? That is, did he perform the surgery in a manner that a reasonable, prudent practitioner would exercise in the same or similar circumstances? This is usually determined by consulting recognized experts in the field of dentistry. They are called expert witnesses, and they are quite expensive.
Third, can you demonstrate that you were harmed, either physically or financially, as a result of the dentist's actions?
In short, unless you can demonstrate that the dentist did something wrong, or did not act in your best interests, you probably do not have a case that is winnable.
It's possible to have two different cavities in one tooth. It's also possible that it is just one cavity, but it is on two surfaces of the tooth. Each tooth has five surfaces. Each surface added to a filling will be more money.
I've never heard of them causing numbness, but most likely you should have them taken out. Most people need them out. You should go see a dentist or a regular doctor to find out about the numbness.
Answernumbness on the side of the face can be many things, if it gets worse or persists it is highly recommended you go to your doctor.also what kind of numbness? is it on the whole side of the face? does your eyelid droop? , is it just loss of feeling or do you have any motor deficets such as not able to move the muscles on that side the same as the other side. If you have any motor deficits, drooping eyelid, wide spread numbness, ect go to your doctor asap.
AnswerWhether you have numbness on the side or not, it is good to get your wisdom teeth pulled. Its better to do it while your young, rather than old. Numbness on the jaw could be a good sigh to get your wisdom teeth removed. AnswerWisdom teeth that are growing in improperly can put pressure on the lingual nerve that runs through your mandible (jawbone) on that particular side of your face. This can cause numbness and loss of feeling on one side of your face.For example, if your left lower wisdom tooth was putting pressure on your left lingual nerve, you would experience numbness at the lower left corner of your mouth, left half of your chin, and part of your left cheek. You may also experience 'shocks', or an occasional sudden sharp feeling in the same area.
Of course, wisdom teeth aren't the only possible cause of damage to these nerves, but they are probably the most common.
Seeing a dentist or oral surgeon immediately about the issue is the best course of action. It is unlikely that whatever is interfering with the nerve is likely to 'get better' without treatment, and the risk of permanent feeling loss will increase.
AnswerSometimes, a tooth infection that is located near a major nerve of the face can cause numbness to that region. This can also be the case of the wisdom tooth infection.But numbness to the face can also be the result of other things too. It is advisable to have it checked by a professional.

How much time do you take off work if you have 4 wisdom teeth removed?
Depends upon your ability to handle pain and pain killers. Mine were taken out on Friday and I went to school on Monday. You don't have to take any time off, but it will depend on the type of work you do and how well you can do it with the pain/headache that is usually present.
How much teeth do adults have?
32
Young adults have 28 teeth. 4 more teeth arrive in early adult hood (often described as wisdom teeth) at the very back of the jaws. So they have 32 teeth when these teeth arrive. If your question is how many teeth does the average adult lose to dental problems, accidents and other occurences I don't know the answer. It probably varies by occupation. Boxers and other people who take part in contact sports may get teeth knocked out. People with bad diets may lose teeth to eating too much sugar. Some people lose teeth at the orthodontist because their mouth is too small for all the teeth they have and some are removed to make room for the others to grow straight. I don't still have all of my teeth and I'm a fairly average adult!
How can a patient find their dental records if they've forgotten who their last dentist was?
You can contact your dentist's office and request a copy of your records, or you can go in person to request them. Your new dentist can also request a copy of them, but you will need to sign a release form giving your former dentist permission to release the records to your new dentist. If that's the way you go, your new dentist will have you sign the release forms, then they will send it to the former dentist for you.
Can you drive after getting your wisdom teeth removed?
People do not all recover from surgery at the same speed; it depends upon your general level of health, and the way you feel. Personally, I could return to work the day after major dental surgery. But your mileage may vary.
What is a dentist opinion of brushing your teeth?
Good dental health is closely related to general health. It allows for proper nutrition, helps avoid infection in the body and makes one happier and more confident.

How do you colse your gap in your teeth with string?
teethgap.com sells a product called teeth effect bands which will close your gap. Teeth Gap uses special Compressor bands called Teeth Effects to draw your teeth together. They provide "the pull" necessary to move the teeth quickly, and in the right direction. You stretch the teeth effect band when you put it around your teeth.
