Why are people afraid of the dentist?

People are afraid of the dentist because of stories about what happened in the olden days when dentists used to just pull teeth out and not use drugs to stop the pain.

Another reason is when you are waiting for your appointment with the dentist and you hear scraping and loud drilling noises which intimidates people and makes them think that they will have their teeth drilled and that it will cause a lot of pain.

You imagine the worst that could happen and so when you go, you feel terrifyed and I'm sure that most of the dentists notice that. But when whatever you went in there for happens, you feel better than when you come in and you tell others about what happened.

If you needed to get braces or something, you would exaggerate it to people at school to make it sound like you are really brave, other people overhear and that's how the scared feeling continues for other people.

How long before pain goes away from full mouth teeth extraction?

I had a tooth extracted a month ago and still have inflammation in the gum and around the tooth next to what had been removed, he said it takes about two months to heal when I went back to the facial surgeon, he also said if it should still bother me after that to return and he would have to scrape the bone to smooth it down. Hope that helps.

All pain should be gone after a week.

Unless you have a dry socket, which occurs around four days after the tooth extraction and presents itself with a severe amount of pain. The pain can go away by itself, or the dentist can put a medication inside the extraction hole to make it heal more quickly.

[All pain should be gone after a week.] How long the pain lasts depends a lot on how old you are. At age 22, I had a bottom right wisdom tooth removed, and the pain was gone in three or four days. Earlier this month, at age 39, I had the bottom left wisdom tooth removed. 14 days later (today) I still feel like someone has been boxing with my while I wasn't looking. My oral surgeon says this is normal for older patients.

Get some CoQ10 (a vitamin supplement). CoQ10 works miracles helping mouth tissues to heal. Ideally, buy some 100Mg CoQ10 softgels and take four a day, spread out across the day. CoQ10 is found in cells throughout the body, but it is found in highest concentration in gum/mouth tissue cells. I take it 100Mg to 200Mg daily, but when I have any dental work planned I ramp-up the amount a couple of weeks in advance and continue until it has healed.

I learned about CoQ10 years ago, prior to having all four of my impacted wisdom teeth extracted. I took it prior to, and following their removal. When I went back to the dentist for a follow-up visit, the dentist remarked that he'd never seen anyone heal so quickly. I'm convinced the CoQ10 supplementation was responsible for my quick recovery.

My father had a very similar result - very quick healing following dental work and CoQ10 supplementation.
