If you have straight but gapped teeth and do not have your wisdom teeth yet will the wisdom teeth help close the gap when they come in?

It might help a little, but if your father or mother have gapped teeth, you probably will too.

AnswerWhen your wisdom teeth will come out, if you have space, they might close some gaps between your back teeth. It is less likely that they will help closing the gaps between your anterior teeth.

To do so, it is better to do an orthodontic treatment.

I had gaps between my anterior teeth, like my grandfather did. It was corrected by braces in middle school within only a year. My wisdom teeth came in and still have plenty of room. I found that my teeth tend to move outward, so I still wear braces overnight at least once a week, fifteen years later.

AnswerAlthough my teeth are straight, I have gaps in them due to their shape (normal teeth are triangular, mine are square) or so my dentist says. Because the teeth are already straight (not needing braces^), my dentist said the solution to my gaps is porcelain veneers. He also said that braces would only force my teeth together, and that they would constantly be moving back to their original place because they were already in the correct position. I had my wisdom teeth removed while they were still impacted. My mother also only had gaps in her upper front teeth, and when her wisdom teeth erupted they pushed her upper and bottom front teeth together, eliminating the gaps, but also causing her bottom teeth to become crooked. Waiting for you wisdom teeth to erupt is not the best solution to the gapped teeth, seeing as how they could cause other complications.

Does getting 4 teeth pulled at the same time hurt?

Could you get your wisdom teeth out when your 10?

While it is possible, because every child develops differently as they mature and grow, having problematic wisdom teeth (3rd molars) that require removal at that age would be quite unusual. Wisdom teeth most often do not require removal until at least age 16.

Can you have all your teeth removed and replaced with denture?

hmm well i am in no way clued up on this subject but after a quick look around the net it becomes apparent that yes you can have all your teeth replaced with full dental implants this is something i have just started to look at myself. but with not much mentioned about cost , this is probably one of the better alternatives to replacement teeth if ur looking for fixed teeth. it can be done as long as you have enough jaw bone left, this may be determend by if u still have teeth at the time of getting implantes or indeed how long u have been without teeth, as i mentioned before i am in no way a dentist but i think that the longer u have been without teeth then the bone that once held your tooth or teeth will have drasticly reduced in size as it has not ben used and thinks it is fine to shrink down, all this along with what other work your chosen dentist may have to carry out prior to the work being done like removal of old decayed teeth i can only imagine can make the cost run sky high as we all know dentistry is in no way cheap in the first place.an obvious alternative to cost would be to go abroad for treatment i think this way you may even be able to cut the cost by more than half. i hope this helped a little.

What are the chances of getting a dry socket from smoking a single cigarette 8 hrs after wisdom teeth are pulled?

You can smoke 12-24 hours after extraction but then again, you have to take into consideration many factors, for instance: was it a difficult extraction? was it in the maxillary (upper) jaw or in the mandibular (lower)? Do you take contraceptive pills? If you're a smoker, had a difficult extraction (tooth got broken or was difficult in getting it out), take contraceptive pills and had an extraction in the lower jaw, then you'd better refrain from smoking for a while. Dry sockets are more common when lower pre/molars are extracted since there are less blood vessels. This means that less blood is travelling to clot the socket and therefore the bone and surrounding tissues get infected.

Saline helps alot to disinfect and keep the socket clean during the following days.

Can you smoke heroin after getting teeth pulled?

Is it normal to be given two antibiotics by your dentist?

It is only safe if at least one of the prescribing doctors knows what the other has prescribed also. Some antibiotics must never be taken together, and others can be taken together safely.

To be safe, ask at least one of the doctors about it. If that is not possible, at least discuss it with the pharmacist who fills the prescriptions.

Does it hurt to have a dental filling?

Well I'm 10 and five days ago I got two cavities filled on the right side of my mouth. iT WAS THE EASIEST THING EVER!!! The only thing I was afraid of was getting the novacain shot, and I shouldn't have been. Before your dentist gives you the injection, ask him to put a little bit of numbing cream or gel, on your gum. When he actually gives you the shot, you WILL NOT FEEL A THING!!! The only thing you will feel is a little bit of water on your mouth.... The only thing that may be a little achey is keepin your mouth open while the dentist "drills" Ps. It's not actually a drill, it's a little tube that blows really strong air and cold water onto your teeth... The only thing to watch out for would be not to eat for a little bit after you get it filled. It's not bad for your tooth, it's just that you might bite your lip REALLY hard and not notice it ( I did it a million times and now my mouth still really hurts) GOOD LUCK. :)

Can you smoke using a vaporizer after getting your wisdom teeth out I know you're not supposed to smoke for five days but could you do it sooner if you use a Vaporizer specifically a Volcano?

Smoking in general is a bad idea. However, my roommate did it with my vapor brothers vaporizer (step down from a volcano). It's all about how deeply/harsh you inhale in. As long as you smoking a minimal amount and suck gently you should be fine.

What is the cost for 4 wisdom teeth extracted?

I just recently had my wisdom teeth out and it cost about $250 a tooth.

Don't let cost get in the way of getting them out if possible. I was told to get my wisdom teeth out about five years ago and since I waited so long my wisdom teeth pushed up against the molars they were next to and damaged them so they had to be removed as well. I was also getting infections in them.

For me, the initial price (For just the wisdom teeth) was $2300. That's everything the anesthesia, removal, etc.

Fortunately my oral surgeon told me to ask the receptionists if there was any kind of payment plan or anyway I could knock the price down a bit. They were able to lower the price to $2237, which was even lower than the inital price for just the wisdom teeth alone!

Make sure that when you go to have your teeth removed you ask about a payment plan. Most people go into the health-care field to help people.
