Dentists

It depends on the surgeon. Some doctors consider the extracted teeth to be biohazard waste which must be properly disposed of. Ask your doctor what his policy is before the surgery and let him know what you want. Sometimes they will make an exception.

It all depends in which country he lives, which part of the country, and how many days per week he or she works. But to answer the question in a different way, an orthodontist makes in average a higher salary than a dentist.

After a tooth extraction, start on liquid foods, and drinks or soft food. Liquid foods, such as soup. You can drink fruit punch, milk, or eat ice cream, or eggs. I would say after 3-4 days you can start eating solid food, but add solid food gradually into your diet.But be careful with what you at if you are taking certain medication, because it may not sit well in your stomach.

Schedule an appointment with your dentist. Your dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon to perform a wisdom tooth extraction. This procedure is relatively common and typically does not result in a lot of down time for the patient.

Only after the gums have healed. Alcohol causes the place where teeth were removed to dry up,"dry socket", and it can be very painful.

Third molars, especially in the mandible (lower jaw) are often found in states of impaction, therefore often necessitating bone removal by the oral or maxillofacial surgeon during extraction. The bone you are feeling is either the mandible (lower jaw) or the maxillary bone (upper jaw). This is found to be normal, however should you develop pain or bleeding in or around that extraction site, you should contact your dental health professional immediately, as increased bleeding after the first 24-48 hours may be a sign of a dry socket (blood clot dislodged or that failed to form).

Your wisdom teeth are flat and are used for grinding. Evolutionists believe that our ancestors used them to grind and eat hard grains and seeds. Since modern mankind mainly eat vegetables and meats and often cook their foods, it is thought that they have receeded as they are not needed anymore. Evolution would thus dictate that they will eventually be lost altogether. Obviously there is disagreement on this topic depending on you beliefs.

I should add that it is not the wisdom teeth as such that is the victim of evolution. Since there has been a marked change in our dietary habits our jaws themselves became smaller, but somehow the evolutionary selection process forgot, that smaller jaws need lesser number of teeth.! The result is what we have today, smaller jaws and more teeth.So the last four teeth in each quadrant ( the third molars) have a difficult time wriggling out. It is true that we really don't need them for chewing.We may lose them all together in another million years.

NO! You should not smoke after any extractions. Smoking may cause something called a "Dry Socket" which can be extremely painful! Ask your dentist or oral surgeon how long you should wait before smoking.

There is no legal requirement in Oregon that says that dentists must have insurance but, as my source at the Oregon Board of Dentistry says, "it would be pretty unwise to not." I'm told that the Oregon Insurance Commission may help you find out whether or not a dentist is covered, and by which insurance company. Meanwhile, sometimes the dentist will tell you whether or not they're covered by malpractice insurance. If they don't, and there's a dispute, "then that's when you might have to get an attorney involved," says the source - or file in small claims court.

Ok first of all putting on braces does not hurt at all i just got mines on on Tuesday April 20th 2010 and once again it did not hurt and second of all after like 3 hours or so your eth are going to be shifting because of the pressure the braces are putting and it hurts real bad on a scale from 1-to its like a 7 and yes it hurts afterwards each time you get them tightned. like you wont be able to bite down on anything hard : i recommend mashed potatoes. ice cream. oatmeal and soft foods for the first week or so.

An abscess can usually be diagnosed visually, although an imaging technique such as a computed tomography scan may be used to confirm the extent of the abscess before drainage. Such procedures may also be needed to localize internal abscesses,

Written by a 9 year old-To get rid of an abscess you can go to a dentist and get a prescription for antibiotics , then when the abscess has gone you'll probably get your tooth pulled out. To get rid of the pain of an abscess you need to put heat on it so maybe try a whee tie or a hot water bottle. If you have read other paragraphs saying you have a chance that you can die, don't listen to it, you can only die from an abscess that is covering your nose and mouth which is probably not possible. So don't worry, you will NOT die. If you put cold on an abscess like frozen food or things like that you will go numb then in like 10 minutes the numbness will wear off and you will sting like mad and it will bleed! Don't use cold , use heat. Thank-you for reading and if it helped you with an abscess, just remember you got advice from a nine year old who has had 3 abscesses, thankyou:)

No unless you wait an hour.

It depends upon which State you live in. Medicare (A&B) do not pay for extractions. However (in Illinois) Medicade does cover "emergency" extractions. Check with your State Midicade or supplemental coverage to see if they do.

No it doesnt hurt, they might give you an ingection just so you dont feel them pulling your tooth out, I had six teeth removed and didnt feel a thing and dont worry its natural too feel nervous, hope I helped.

The prognosis is very good when impacted teeth are removed from young healthy adults without complications. Potential complications include postoperative infection, temporary numbness from nerve irritation, jaw fracture, and.

You should give it at least a day before have a cigarette and use salted warm water to gargle with and spit out. The salt helps to heal. If you are bleeding DON'T sip out of a straw when drinking. Have soups, dip bread in the soup, yogurt, jelly, etc., that are all soft foods for approx. 3 days. After that you should be able to continue on as usual. Ceprocol is another good mouthwash (ask your pharmacist if you can't find it on the shelf) to keep bacteria down in your mouth and also keep your breath fresh. Blood in the mouth can smell. At least 48 hours, or you might get a dry socket.

It would depend on each individual dentist. Everyone has their own way of interpreting information.
If you're asking for the IQ requirement to become a dentist, there isn't one.

Hopefully a dentist's IQ is fairly high. Dentists have to possess a lot of information not generally known by other doctors, and the skill to treat a variety of tooth ailments.

Not sure, but from what I have been reading is that it can take up from 4-6 weeks after filling was done. I had one done 3 weeks ago, and it it still sensitive and hurts with hot/cold drink or hard food items. It is better though than what it was 2 weeks ago. So mine seems to get better as the weeks past by. They say if it continues to hurt you need a root canal. Good luck

Wisdom teeth removal results in holes in each of the extracted tooth sockets. These holes take several weeks to completely close. Although using snuff is a bad idea in general, it would be wisest to not use the product at all until the holes have closed completely.

I had a single wisdom tooth removed in August this year, together with a normal, but decayed tooth next to it. After a general anaesthetic, it took about 3 to 4 weeks for the gum to settle down and for my eating to get totally back to normal. At about the 8 week point I found I had a tiny piece of bone protruding from the gum, but this came out by itself a couple of weeks later. I'm aged 62, by the way.
