Dentists

Generally, unless complications arise, there is no "time out" after a root canal. The idea of "time out" may just revolve around how long it takes the local anasthetic to wear or. You could be very picky and consider "time out" as how long it takes for it to stop hurting or feeling different. This, in itself, can take between a few hours and around four days. If you still feel pain after a week, its probably best to go back to the dentist.

All 50 States and the District of Columbia require dentists to be licensed. To qualify for a license in most States, candidates must graduate from an accredited dental school and pass written and practical examinations. Education and training. In 2006, there were 56 dental schools accredited by the American Dental Association's (ADA's) Commission on Dental Accreditation. Dental schools require a minimum of 2 years of college-level predental education prior to admittance. Most dental students have at least a bachelor's degree before entering dental school, although a few applicants are accepted to dental school after 2 or 3 years of college and complete their bachelor's degree while attending dental school. High school and college students who want to become dentists should take courses in biology, chemistry, physics, health, and mathematics. College undergraduates planning on applying to dental school are required to take many science courses. Because of this, some choose a major in a science, such as biology or chemistry, while others take the required science coursework while pursuing a major in another subject. All dental schools require applicants to take the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). When selecting students, schools consider scores earned on the DAT, applicants' grade point averages, and information gathered through recommendations and interviews. Competition for admission to dental school is keen. Dental school usually lasts 4 academic years. Studies begin with classroom instruction and laboratory work in science, including anatomy, microbiology, biochemistry, and physiology. Beginning courses in clinical sciences, including laboratory techniques, are also completed. During the last 2 years, students treat patients, usually in dental clinics, under the supervision of licensed dentists. Most dental schools award the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). Others award an equivalent degree, Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). Some dental school graduates work for established dentists as associates for 1 to 2 years to gain experience and save money to equip an office of their own. Most dental school graduates, however, purchase an established practice or open a new one immediately after graduation. Licensure. Licensing is required to practice as a dentist. In most States, licensure requires passing written and practical examinations in addition to having a degree from an accredited dental school. Candidates may fulfill the written part of the State licensing requirements by passing the National Board Dental Examinations. Individual States or regional testing agencies administer the written or practical examinations. In 2006, 17 States licensed or certified dentists who intended to practice in a specialty area. Requirements include 2 to 4 years of postgraduate education and, in some cases, the completion of a special State examination. Most State licenses permit dentists to engage in both general and specialized practice. Other qualifications. Dentistry requires diagnostic ability and manual skills. Dentists should have good visual memory, excellent judgment regarding space, shape, and color, a high degree of manual dexterity, and scientific ability. Good business sense, self-discipline, and good communication skills are helpful for success in private practice. Advancement. Dentists who want to teach or conduct research usually spend an additional 2 to 5 years in advanced dental training, in programs operated by dental schools or hospitals. A recent survey by the American Dental Education Association showed that 11 percent of new graduates enrolled in postgraduate training programs to prepare for a dental specialty.

you should eat soup or you should eat something soft

After 2 weeks you can eat like normal but if you chew meat for instance it might feel uncomfortable so choose the other side. Since it's self healing without stitches it heals fast.

A quick search revealed the Dr Frank Altier is a aesthic dentist.

What you're describing is consistent with the symptoms of TMJ (TemporoMandibular Joint Disorder). However, if he didn't diagnose you with TMJ, then something else that can cause what you're dealing with is Stress of any type.

Stress causes us to tighten certain muscles, and the jaw is one of the most common (think gritting your teeth). It's apparent if you feel inside your mouth and can feel the misalignment of your teeth. Using a mouthpiece/mouthguard at night helps keep the jaw from tightening, but ultimately if it's stress related, only removing the source or finding a way to relax will give you any relief.

I've dealt with this for many years, but have learned to deal with it by using relaxation techniques, mental focus, and muscle relaxers when necessary.

TMJ is a specific problem that is well known - never take any one doctor's word for it that you don't have a specific issue. You can read more about TMJ at the Wiki link below.

No. There is no causal relationship between virginity on the one hand, and an unpleasant scent on the other. The two factors are unrelated.

It will bleed but heel quickly.

Yes you can. However, make sure you meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend to ensure you take the appropriate prerequisite coursework for dental school. Also, you should come up with a plan B. In other words, admission to dental school is highly competitive. Thus, ask yourself what will you be able to do with a bachelors in biology should you not be accepted.

• In my experience the important thing is to keep the mouth very very clean. Then I began a light massage in the muscles around the jaw and the facial muscles. I dedicated a good six hours to lying in bed massaging and then I would sleep and wake up and massage again. Eventually the infection will spread from your tooth into the rest of your face and then into your body. This "could" be dangerous (I've heart the horror stories about the infection going to your brain, etc.) but I know how to listen to my body and could feel my tooth getting better even though the rest of my body felt ill.

  It is VERY IMPORTANT to drink lots and lots of water (7-14 glasses a day), and eventually you'll sweat out the infection and it goes away. This has happened twice to me in three years. Both times, everyone around said I was crazy and that I needed to go to the dentist. And yet, after a lot of TLC and about two days of bed rest and massage, it goes away. That is a lot better than paying the dentist hundreds of dollars. Don't listen to the fear-based B.S. -- your body is an amazing thing and TLC, massage, cleansing and rest/low stress levels are key to healing. I am not a professional -- and this could be dangerous for others -- but for me it worked. The reason for my tooth infection was a cracked tooth.

• I'm a DDS, and as the answer below me indicates, you can't. Antibiotics will relieve the symptoms, but they can't cure the source of the infection: Once the tooth dies, there isn't any blood supply to deliver the antibiotic to where the bacteria are located. The only way to eliminate a tooth infection once and for all is to either remove the infected pulp tissue (i.e., have a root canal) or extract the tooth.
• You can't. You can try brushing and flossing very well in that area and rinsing with warm salt water, but it will only help for a little while. You can try to get state insurance or go to a state clinic that is cheaper and may let you make payments.
• I've found in the past that taking large amounts of garlic helps to reduce a tooth infection. Garlic is a natural antibiotic. Take a look at the following link. It explains it much better than I can:

  For more information visit the Related Link.

  I would recommend purchasing the odor-free garlic -- because of the amount you would take and the frequency. Usually I take a handful on the first dose and then a few tablets every few hours. Don't worry, you won't overdose on garlic. But as I mentioned, the odor-free garlic is much better for this. If you don't have tablets handy, fresh garlic works too. However, I only recommend it as a last resort. Rather just take a clove of garlic and chew it up, and some day, you'll understand why. Garlic capsules get a lot more in your system a lot easier than chewing up several cloves of garlic. I've had numerous infections in the past and it works.

  And a natural means of dealing with the pain is clove oil. Although it tastes horrible, it numbs the gums and eases the pain. As as aside, I haven't taken antibiotics since I was a child. I'm 36 now and my infections are few and far between.
