Having 2 permament teeth pulled for Braces

Can Mum stay with me ? Will it really hurt ?

I'm soooo scared about it.

Does it hurt having Teeth Pulled ? Scared !!?
I've had several teeth pulled. Don't be scared. You will be given novocaine and that takes away all sensation of pain. I think you're more scared of the idea of it. I know it sounds scary, but it's really not that bad, and only takes a few seconds. You won't even feel it. And I never had any pain or discomfort afterwards either. Sure, your mom can stay with you. Just try to relax and think about something else. My dentist gave me earphones, and I could listen to music while this was being done. Good luck!
Reply:nah get some nitrous oxide that will do the trick
Reply:Dont be scared hon. Usually, your mum can come in the room with you, it just depends on your dentist. The dentist will numb you up so that you can't feel when they pull your teeth. Usually, they will let you know that you will feel 'pressure' and maybe some 'pulling', but as far as feeling pain you really shouldn't. If they start and you do feel actually pain and not pressure, let them know, and they can give you some more numbing medicine. Wish you the best, and don't worry, kids get teeth pulled all the time to make room in their mouth when getting braces.
Reply:You won't feel it at all. If they're permanent, they'll put you on anesthetic, and you will first not care what they do, then you won't feel a thing and you'll fall asleep.

Don't worry about it at all though.
Reply:It hurts a whole lot less than not getting them fixed. If you get a good dentist, you won't even feel a thing. The worst part is thinking about it. If you can think about or concentrate on anything else other than what is happening in your mouth, you'll be a whole lot better off.
Reply:it depends on where is the tooth and the kind of anasthesia the dentist will give, but in general it will hurt but not too much. I mean you will feel some pain then it will go away.

and I am pretty sure that your mum can stay with you.
Reply:I've had all of mine taken out, not by choice. But that's another story!

Your Mom will likely be allowed to be with you!

With the medicines available today, you will likely not feel any pain. Perhaps some mild discomfort, but that's about it.

Follow your doctors orders as to how to treat your mouth after extraction. This is important!

Again, you should not feel any pain!

Good luck and keep brushing those fangs! ;-)

Reply:Yes your mom can stay with you. Why did somebody tell you she can't. Yes and no. Why i say that is when they acualy pull it it hurts like hell. Then it doesn't. Till....................................... pain killer wear off. Then the pain is soooooooo bad. But it usally takes 10 he. till they wear off. Sorry.
Reply:No it wont hurt, the shots to deaden the teeth will hurt more than the pulling of them. And yes your mom can stay with you. Your teeth are very important. I'm 65 and have only 27 left after spending over $40,000.00 in my life on caring for them.There is nothing like having your real teeth, ask anyone that has false teeth.
Reply:It doesn't hurt but you can hear the sucking and cracking through your head. It made me sick. Just be sure to eat breakfast and don't have any pop or sugar or coffee since that will up your metabolism and you will get nervous and sick like I did. They will numb you up for as long as they need to for you not to feel any pain during the procedure and after wards, make sure to get the pain killers and antibiotics as soon as possible, because it will hurt for a couple of days after wards. Don't smoke or suck anything thru a straw, as this will dislodge the blood clot and your tooth hole will start bleeding and it is hard to stop. Just try not to get too worked up since the doc has probably done this before and doesn't want you to have a bad experience or any pain. He is doing it in your best interest so be thankful you have the option of having a good dentist.
Reply:Nah...they numb you..Your good

Will it Hurt having teeth out?

2010-05-21T19:02:00.001-07:00

Soon, I am gettin braces! but i have to have 3 teeth out, because of over crowding.

I'm getting it done at my local dentists, and i'm not sure if i'm going to get numbed, or put to sleep, but either way, do you think it will hurt alot? because i'm not too good with pain. :p x

Will it Hurt having teeth out?
it probobly will hurt a little. they'll probobly give u a shot for numbing. u'll probobly feel a little pain from them pulling. my cousin got a few pulled a couple yrs ago and he threw up later our something like that. i'm sure it won't b as bad as u think though. i'll b praying 4 u and i hope it goes well. XD
Reply:umm im good with pain ,but point blank yea it is annoying after everything wears off
Reply:you'll get numbed..dont worry. and because of that, it shouldnt hurt.. but the next few days will be sore and you'll eat alot of applesauce and mashed potatoes. but dont worry, it will all work out in the end. i had braces for three years and couldnt WAIT to get them off... now that i have, i have a beautiful smile good luck and just be patient
Reply:Just take some pain killers before you go and you'll be fine.

They will numb you up so you won't feel a THING at all. The only thing that will hurt is the next couple of days. Not HURT HURT but your mouth will be a little sore. So stick to soft foods for a while.

You'll be okay though, don't worry. My mom's a dental assistant so I know what it's all about.

also, you can bring some music to listen to so you'll be a at ease when they give you the hook up.

Your teeth will look fabulous!

Good luck!
Reply:OMG I was totally freaking out when I had to get my 4 teeth pulled for the same reasons as you, but I am telling you I had NO, Zero, Zip problems or pain. You have Nothing to worry about. The only thing that kind of hurts are the shots to numb you, but when they are pulling the teeth out all you can feel is the pressure, and you might hear a couple of cracks. I was also surprised how FAST those teeth come out. Mine per tooth took probably 20 seconds.

Good luck and don't stress like I did. You have Nothing to worry about.
Reply:BEFORE ANY TEETH ARE PULLED YOU WILL BE COMPLETELY NUMB, SO DON'T BE WORRIED.
Reply:small pain after that's all.

if no anesthetic you would pass out
Reply:I had a tooth pulled two months ago. The dentist gave me a shot to numb the area. Even though I didn't feel pain when the tooth was coming out there is pain after the numbness goes away. You need to keep the space cleaned and gargle frequently so that if any food particles goes into the empty space it wont smell.
Reply:If your dentist is good the answer is no, it shouldn't hurt. He should numb the area where teeth will be extracted. You might feel a sting when the local goes in. After it's good and numb he'll push around it with what looks like a small spoon to make sure that you don't have any extra nerves going to that tooth, then he'll slowly apply pressure until it comes out. The key word is PRESSURE. That's something you'll definitely feel and unless they do put you asleep for it you can't get out of it, but you shouldn't feel pain. Once you get home I'd take some Motrin before the numb feeling wears off, not because it will hurt but because it will feel irritated. Eat soft things for a couple of days, ice cream and Popsicles are good. Your mouth heals fast. Not a lot of pain, more like a scraped knee. Just annoying. Good luck!

One of my teeth hurts when I eat/drink anything hot or cold. It doesn't hurt at any other time though?

2010-05-21T19:02:00.000-07:00

I've tried Sendodyne toothpaste for 2 years now, but the tooth is still the same. Does anyone know why my tooth is like this and if anyone knows what more I can do?

One of my teeth hurts when I eat/drink anything hot or cold. It doesn't hurt at any other time though?
Firstly, try rinsing out your mouth with five drops of some pure essential clove oil mixed in half a cup of luke warm water. Buy the oil from a health shop its not exspensive.

If the actual problem is further down then you may need to see your dentist, it maybe that you need Root Canal Treatment.

You could go into your chemist and explain to them the problem and that youve tried sensodyne. Just say to them you would like to try something else BEFORE you go to the dentist. See then if they will advise you with something to try.
Reply:sounds liek it has decay, you nedd the dentist to fill it up for you
Reply:sounds like damaged nerve endings in tooth. it wont repair itself so a visit to dentist seems inevitable.go on,grit your teeth and bear it,it wont cause you half as much discomfort as your obviously suffering at the moment.
Reply:I had the same problem (though i was in mongolia at the time and so it also hurt when i breathed in as the air was so cold - it was awful!) and when i went to the dentist it turned out i needed some root canal treatment. I would make an appointment with your dentist, as you may well need a filling/root canal.
Reply:its a trip to the dentist for you i am afraid. was gonna suggest sensodyne but just saw you used it already. it must need work doing somewhere there is prob a hole.
Reply:i would have your dentist check it out just to be sure. i have the same problem with cold. my dentist told me it is not uncommon. as you age your gums recede an expose some nerve endings. better to be safe and have it checked out though.
Reply:Your tooth has become sensitive. increase ur calcium and Vitamin C intake if its in initial stage otherwise dentis will cover it with gold so that u don't feel pain. meanwhile u can use a tooth paste for sensitive teeth which are available over the counter. but do consult ur dentist.

Keep Smiling.
Reply:It sounds like you might have a crack letting fluid leak down to the root nerve.

My Husband has perfect teeth and about 3 years ago this same thing happened and we found out somehow he had fractured a molar. It had to be pulled. But that was just his.

But you need to see a dentist to have it xrayed to see what the problem might be. It might be able to be repaired and crowned, if that is the problem.

Make an appointment. Otherwise it could cause decay and the lose of the entire tooth.

Good Luck.
Reply:Talk to a dentist. I had that for a long time and after a few years it got worse. My dentist gave me a root canal and it really worked, no more sore teeth at all.
Reply:As you can tell from the various answers already posted, the cause of your sensitivity could be many different things. One I haven't seen mentioned is toothbrush abrasion. It is simply brushing too hard, causing the tooth to be sensitive, just like a cavitiy would feel. Your dentist can address this problem, also. Since you've been dealing w/ this for 2 years, I assume you've not visited the dentist regularly. Make yourself an appointment for a cleaning and an exam.

If the cause of your sensitivity is decay, you probably have very little time left if a filling will solve the problem. Wait too long, and you may need a root canal. Very expensive.

Good luck to you!

Does it hurt having Teeth pulled ? So scared & nervous?

Having 2 Adult teeth pulled for Braces

Can Mum stay with me ? Will it hurt loads ?

omg i'm soooooooo scared about having it done

also hate injections so much

Does it hurt having Teeth pulled ? So scared %26amp; nervous?
Relax. It will not hurt (during) because you will get Novocaine. You won't feel a thing. It might hurt after you get home and the Novocaine wears off, but it's no big deal. And they will give you pain killers.
Reply:Yes she can be with you. It just hurts with the first injection, just a pin prick it's a VERY fine needle, don't worry. Wont feel a thing.
Reply:Ask your Mom if she can take you to someone that uses Nitrous Oxide. You will not be awake for the procedure, but you will have some discomfort (not horrible pain) for a few days. Most dentists will not allow Mom in the room while they work, but she will be in the waiting area.
Reply:I had a couple teeth pulled and its nothing to worry about, just feel a bit of pushing, more uncomfortable that painfull really.

Your mum can go in with you if you want her to.

I hate injections too, more so than the extractions, I think it helps to close my eyes, I'm fine if I don't see the needle.

I'm sure you'll be fine. It's the thought of it that's the worst bit. Good luck!

edit: Contrary to what someone else suggested, Do not take any drugs before you go to the dentist even Asprin. The dentist will give you drugs to control the pain and you don't want to be taking anything that could interfere with that. Getting teeth removed is not 'awful' it is a very simple procedure. It is uncomfortable but not painfull at all. You'll be fine.
Reply:No. It's okay. Take some tunes with you. Plug them in your ears and it will be over in 1 minute. The shot will seem worse then the pulling. So plug your favorite tunes in before that.
Reply:I had a tooth pulled and I fell asleep while they pulled it. Then I woke up. I mean without drugs I fell asleep. It doesn't hurt it just feels like they are working in there
Reply:I have had baby teeth pulled and all 4 wisdom teeth pulled and it hurts. I don't care how much they numb you you can feel them pulling, all the pressure and you can feel the cracking and cruching of your tooth coming out and it is really awful. I don't handle pain to much. All I can say is to take some pain killers before you do this. Maybe some Motrin and asprin.
Reply:Sophie - Relax, luv! You'll be fine.

If you've had your ears pierced, the injections will be no worse...just a pinch. If you're still nervous, have mum call the doc and prescribe you anxiety medication or ask of they have Nitrous. Contrary to what someone wrote above, Nitrous does NOT put patients to sleep; just makes them not care what's going on. if you want to be asleep, you need to ahve what's called "IV sedation"

Whether your mum can be w/ you is up to the dental office. Honestly, some young patients do better with parent(s) NOT in the room....

as for user called "SmartAzz," just ignore him. I've had patients like that and theyr'e one in a 100... usually tough looking guys who have tattoos and still can't handle a teeny injetion syringe tip.... Basically I have 7 year old girls that handle the whole thing better than guys like that!

As for hearing cracking; yeah, it's a possibility with wisdom teeth, but if you're having two adult teeth pulled (bicuspids) then they don't even have fully formed roots, so it will be SUPER easy for the Doc to take them out! just some pressure.

best wishes, and as the python boys sang, Always look on the bright side of life...
Reply:They will give you shots in your mouth (feels like a little pinch doesn't hurt) so you can't feel the teeth being pulled out. I will hurt after-wards (for a couple of days at most) so make sure you take plenty (NOT TO MUCH) of ibuprofen or whatever u like to use as a pain-reliever. And a little trivia, you mouth is the fastest part of your body that heals. it will heal fairly quickly and shouldn't be too much discomfort.

Hope I helped!

I am facing the same thing, and having had teeth pulled hate to tell you it doesn't hurt as much as scares the hell outta you.. you feel the pressure and like your head is going to be pulled off.....get a dentist you know and trust...or get sedation...mom can usually come with you....ask for the "wand" injection...it is not like a needle and doesn;t hurt...

Antibiotics hurt adult teeth in children?

2010-05-21T19:01:00.002-07:00

Has anyone heard that Antibiotics as a child can hurt or weaken adult teeth?

If so do you have links to info on this?

Antibiotics hurt adult teeth in children?
To answer your question, there are no known antibiotics that will hurt or weaken a child's teeth. However, side effects such as intrinsic staining (within teeth) can result from antibiotic such as tetracycline. These stains are not commonly found in children anyone since doctors are aware of the potential side effect. Also tetracycline will not effect teeth that are already erupted.
Reply:Tetracycline will. It makes your adult teeth darker. Look up side effects of tetracycline.
Reply:Only tetracycline antibiotic. When given to a child who is forming adult teeth it will cause a black, permanent stain on the child's adult teeth. It doesn't necessarily hurt or weaken the teeth, just causes a horrible stain. The stain is permanent and cannot be whitened. The only way to get rid of it is haveing veneers placed over.

Does Oxycontin hurt your teeth?

2010-05-21T19:01:00.001-07:00

I had surgery a couple months ago and have been on Oxycontin fairly steadily since then. It works nicely to cut the pain, but I'm noticing that my teeth are starting to hurt whenever I take them. I've heard that they can cause tooth decay but haven't been able to find anything about that online.

If anyone knows anything, it'd be mucho appreciated.

Does Oxycontin hurt your teeth?
First of all you have not clarified which type of Oxycontin you are taking,say from 5 mg to 100 mg?Is a necrotic based medicine.If your teeth hurts you that not because of Oxycontin,But if you are a Alcohol addicted or smokers,be careful about your teeth.If the tooth decay is persisting consult your dentist.well if you need more details about the products go to the manufacturer's site or Http://www.yahoo.com/search in the search box type Oxycontin and yahoo will bring more than 10 sites in search result.Select FDA approved site.Or manufacturer's site.

Teeth hurt due to braces, help?

2010-05-21T19:01:00.000-07:00

I just got them tightened on Friday, 02/08/2008, and now my top row hurts. i can't bite. i've taken apap and it hurts like hell. i need it to stop hurting by tomrrow, because i have to go to school on monday and i dont want to eat with pain. any suggestions on healing faster? no crap answers please.

Teeth hurt due to braces, help?
try asprin or pain killer. it's part of the process. when you really think about what's going on in your mouth - forcing your teeth into an un-natural position - that's a lot of force put on your mouth and head. and remember to always wear the retainer, once the braces are removed, 'cause those suckers (teeth) have a memory like an elephant - and will return to the position that's natural (born with).
Reply:Try taking some Advil. Or if you don't want to take advil, try tylenol. They probably hurt because your gums are swollen a little bit. You can also try rubbing some anbesol on your gums, that will numb them.
Reply:i fell you ! what i do is take aleve and rub some ambesol.
Reply:it usually takes about 3 days for your teath to stop hurting
Reply:I agree Advil or Ibuprofen (both the same thing) will probably help you best. I had braces and I had something the Orthodontist put in the roof of my mouth I had to use a "Key" with and tighten it daily. It was supposed to spread the roof of my mouth as they said my palette was to high. Believe me I know it hurts. You might ask your Dentist or Family Doctor to prescribe a mild muscle relaxer like Skelaxin to help. Hope you feel better soon!

Help! I got my braces today and my front teeth really hurt?

2010-05-21T19:00:00.003-07:00

I got my braces today and the dentist told me not to bite into anything, strictly, and i forgot and did. Now my front teeth really hurts, as if they're going to fall off or something. Can someone tell me if my teeth will be ok and whether the pain will go away? will anything happen to me? I'm scared or maybe just being paranoid but thanks in advance!

Help! I got my braces today and my front teeth really hurt?
Your teeth will be fine, but you will experience some discomfort because you did not follow the dentist's instructions. They give you a list of dos and don'ts for a reason, and now you know what that reason is. You can take something like Tylenol or what ever the dentist told you to take. Give it time and it will go away.
Reply:that's just normal. when you just got your braces, when you bite into something, your teeeth will hurt. all i'm saying is, it's a natural thing. it all okay. =)
Reply:they won't fall off...your teeth aren't that weak...the pain will fade gradually over the days as your teeh shift accordin to how your braces are set...the first time you get them tightened are the worse, but after that, it's smooth sailing :]
Reply:It's normal for them to feel like they could fall out or like they're only being held in by the braces, don't worry though, they'll hurt for a day or two just survive on custard and mashed potato for the next day or two! good luck
Reply:This is normal. It will take a few days for your teeth to adjust. Just eat soft foods for a few days and you'll be fine. Your teeth will be sore every time you get your braces tightened also. Tylenol will help a bit too. The end results are worth the little bit of pain you feel now, trust me. :o)
Reply:Don't worry about it, hun. You should be fine. When I got braces it took like 2-3 days for the pain to go away and then soon after that you should be able to eat like normal. Just be careful about eating anything hard.

My braces are really causing my teeth to hurt. What is the best thing to take for the pain?

2010-05-21T19:00:00.002-07:00

I have had my braces for a while. Here recently, my teeth have started hurting. What should I take for the pain? Aspirin or Ibuprofen.

I believe Ibuprofen works best for dental pain.
Reply:Ya I have that same problem. Just wait it out and make sure not to eat food that is to hard for your teeth. Pains will go away though.
Reply:ibuprofen...my mom's a doctor and i hahd braces... it gets better i promise
Reply:If you didn't get them tightened recently then maybe something else is wrong. I wouldn't know what it may be. Maybe call your orthodontist.
Reply:I like the fast dissolving Tylenol. If you are under 18, please stay away from asprin. Swishing with warm salt water is a good immediate relief, as well as baby teething ointment.
Reply:tylenol.you can take up to 4 {500mg.} at a time if your over 18.
Reply:put wax on them it will releave the tension
Reply:Do NOT take aspirin! Go with ibuprofen or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Aspirin could potentially thin out your blood too much causing your teeth and gums to be more susceptible to bleeding. This is especially a problem since you have braces.

Hope this helps =)
Reply:try massaging your gums lightly with your toothbrush That helps for me , it may be painful to do so do it before bed , you should feel better in the morning. :)
Reply:i used to take ibuprofen %26amp; suck on ice. those 2 years were like HELL!!! my braces caused my teeth to hurt when i got them tightened %26amp; made me talk kinda weird. %26amp; whenever i ate, food kept getting stuck in them. i'm sooo glad i don't have them anymore.

Two days ago another of my Wisdom teeth was coming in. It was really painfull and today it doesnt hurt....?

2010-05-21T19:00:00.001-07:00

But today i woke up like at 4 am with pain of my other tooth cuspid hurts which is locateted where the wisdom tooth. I had a filling in that tooth before and i'm just wondering if its the wisdomtooths fault... please help i'm in pain.. My parents said its just my imagination.. but... i dont think it is .. it hurts when i touch it and the other teeth dont..

Two days ago another of my Wisdom teeth was coming in. It was really painfull and today it doesnt hurt....?
Just make a dentist appointment and ask if the wisdom teeth are interfering with the other teeth in your mouth. If they aren't, they will come in just fine and you won't even have to have them removed. If they are going to interfere with the growth of your other teeth, you'll have to have them removed.

Teeth coming in hurts, period. It's probably not your imagination. For the time being, try not to bite down on those areas of your teeth as it'll just cause more unneeded pain. You do need to have them looked at though, to make sure they won't interfere with your other teeth.
Reply:you may have an infection under your teeth callled cysts..go see a dentist

Why does one of my teeth still hurt 2wks after a brace?

2010-05-21T19:00:00.000-07:00

I recently had a brace fitted, two weeks friday and although all of my teeth are ok? One at the front where the wire finishes is very tender to touch. Its only along 6 of my front bottom teeth and next door i have a space where one was removed in March.. Any ideas why it hurts when i bite down or touch it?

Why does one of my teeth still hurt 2wks after a brace?
it could have something to do with the sensory nerves inside that tooth, or it could just be adjusting to the pressure that was recently put on it. i would ask the orthodontist

What are some ways your teeth can hurt you?

2010-05-21T18:59:00.003-07:00

I'm in the military and I asked our dentist office if I could get braces. They said they won't do it for cosmetic purposes. They only will give you braces if your teeth are hurting you.

My question is; what are some ways your teeth can harm you? I need some ideas so I can tell them something to get myself some braces.

Damn military will pay for someone to get a boob job and that's cosmetic, but they won't let me get braces!!!!

Does it hurt? Broken teeth at the gum line.?

2010-05-21T18:59:00.002-07:00

I hate going to dentist. I have had a number of visits where the novacaine has wore off and I could feel the pain. The last one was during a root canal while the files where in the canals and the Dentist was treating another patient. OUCH!!

Anyways, I had 2 teeth that had root canals, I did not get the crowns. The temp fillings fell out and the teeth cracked. I lost both teeth, a half a tooth at a time. I fear that there is still partial tooth under the gums and will require an excavation. They do not hurt now, but would like to smile again without the embarrasement.

Does this hurt? Including the possible implant/bridge.

Reply:Without crown root canal treatment is incomplete..teeth becomes brittle n breaks..yes i m sure ur root piece must be in gums..yes u shud get extracted if it cannot be build or save by post and core..

extraction is not painful as anesthetia is give so it will be numb and implant is expensive treatment and bridge is cheaper..depends on budget and age...implant requires minor surgery while brigde requires slight grinding of front and back tooth of missing tooth...

dental treatment is best decided after checkin patients clinically or examining themmbut wht i understand from ur question i have explained u
Reply:What really hurts is that you are even considering not having the work done. Get off your high horse and go to the dentist. Before you have any work tell the dentist what your experience has been in the past. Dentist do forget you know they can not remember every patient that comes to them. So remind him or her about your experience. Pain is a good thing, with out it how would we know if there is anything wrong. Buck up buddy!
Reply:those root canal teeth themselves won't hurt you because the nerves in them are dead however, they could get infected and yes, that will hurt you. the best plan is to let your dentist extract them before pain starts. allow them to heal and then make a plan on how to replace them so you can smile again.
Reply:Does your dentist even know how fast the pain killer or freezing wears off?Mine always gives me extra cause before he's done the freezing is wearing off.I'd rather stay frozen for more than 2hrs than not frozen for an hour.
Reply:get a good dentist ......first and get him to cap and bridge you teeth

Why does it hurt when you start growing in your wisdom teeth?

2010-05-21T18:59:00.001-07:00

I think i know the answer but my boyfriend has a different opinion. so i want to find out who is right.

I say it is because the tooth is ripping your gums. its like when your a baby and your growing your 1st tooth, it hurts cause your tearing the gum. but then afterward when you loose your baby tooth n grow new ones it doesnt hurt because the hole is already there in the gum.

Now my boyfriends opinion is because there is no room for the tooth to grow thats why it hurts.

So who is right? me with my opinion of because it's tearing the gum or my boyfriend who thinks there no room for the tooth?

Why does it hurt when you start growing in your wisdom teeth?
I think you're both right. You already know that erupting teeth can be irritating to the gums. If you don't remember, your mom probably does. Sometimes, 3rd molars (wisdom teeth) take awhile to come in, so the irritation can last a long time.

Also (for the smart boyfriend), most people don't have room for their wisdom teeth and when they can't find space to erupt, they tend to grow sideways or otherwise, often crowding the roots of the 2nd molars. Some people experience jaw pain and headaches associated with wisdom teeth.

Most people have their wisdom teeth removed between the ages of 16 and 21. Some (like me) wait much longer. Usually, a person heals faster and with fewer complictions if they're younger. Also, once teeth are badly impacted, they are more difficult to remove and may require a specialist, general anesthetic, and bone drilling (very unpleasant).

Your dentist can take a panoramic x-ray - the kind that wraps around your head - to see how your 3rd molars are doing and whether they need to be removed.
Reply:I think you are right, however some (but not all) people do not have room and this causes the wisdom teeth to become impacted, which is painful. So basically most people have pain because the teeth are erupting through the gums.

Is it true that if u silver fillings aluminum foil makes ur teeth hurt and y?

2010-05-21T18:59:00.000-07:00

i have 11 fillings, 1 of them is silver and when i was taking a piece of gum out of the wrapper the silver 1 hurt really bad, y?

Is it true that if u silver fillings aluminum foil makes ur teeth hurt and y?
The reason behind it is, when dis-similar metals touch each other, it forms a tiny battery. The amount of electricity generated depends on the combination of metal that are touching.

When you bite into aluminum foil, you created a small battery. The electrical charge conducted to your nerves through your filling. Remember, pain sensations are nothing more than nerves being excited. You just did that with electricity.
Reply:Yes it hurts bad. I don't know why. I know that it hurts tho. I have done it before. I think its the metal on metal thing but i am not sure. Best of luck tho!!

I've had my braces top braces on for almost 2 months now and my teeth hurt frequently.?

Can you feel when your teeth start to shift?I've already started to notice a difference in my top teeth?How long does it take for your teeth to start shifting or do you think that it's too soon? Please HELP!

I've had my braces top braces on for almost 2 months now and my teeth hurt frequently.?
Your teeth will start moving immediately! And yes you can feel it. It will make you sore, so take some Tylenol or whatever you take for headaches. Sometimes right after we do something on a patient we can see the change before they even leave. It's amazing!
Reply:Your teeth are moving all right! I swear I had braces for fifty years, but I think it was really three. They will hurt, but it's worth it! Forever after your teeth will be straight and look their best. Before braces, I bit myself a lot and that went away after the orthodontia. I'm really glad I went through it.
Reply:yea, ive got braces, for almost more then a year, i usually have a little tylenol, and ur wrong, its not 2 early, u c every month u go 2 the dentist they do sumtin different atleast most of the times, every month is a new treatment, just do wat i do, have tylenol the day it rlly hurts. for me shifting started after my 4th month, but dont feel scared, its different 4 every1. dont worry u r ssoooo gonna get used 2 it! lol

I have a crazy toothache!! I can't tell what tooth it is but ALL my teeth hurt on the left side both top and

2010-05-21T18:58:00.001-07:00

bottom. I don't have any cavities. I do have a bridge and a couple of crowns on the anchor teeth of course. I can take Ibupropen and get a little relief. I am waiting on an appt with my dentist...hopefully tomorrow. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause such widespread pain?

I have a crazy toothache!! I can't tell what tooth it is but ALL my teeth hurt on the left side both top and
Wide spread tooth pain is often related to tooth clenching while asleep. Of course there are other reasons, but usually the pain is more localized

Good luck
Reply:see a dentist. put orajel on them..
Reply:When I had an impacted wisdom tooth, it made my whole jaw sore. It got infected and was possibly the worst pain I've ever experienced. Get an emergency appt. with your dentist right away, they can most likely take a couple of xrays to figure out what it is, and if it is impacted, they will send you home with a prescription and an appointment to have it extracted. If you have all of your wisdom teeth out, then I don't have a clue what it could be...
Reply:Long time ago, I had a severe toothache (upper left side)and I was to board a plane for international travel. Only other symptom was a little headache. Family doctor concluded that the toothache was the result of sinus and cold allergy and the dentist I saw found nothing wrong where it was paining. I get very sleepy with those antihistamines, but had no choice, it sure did work.

You are doing the right thing trying to see the dentist. Hope he finds what is bothering you. But if all your teeth are healthy as you feel, then you can explore other possibilities.

Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

I have a head cold/possible sinus inf. Why do my teeth hurt?

2010-05-21T18:58:00.000-07:00

Is the cold/infection affecting my teeth? is this a symptom of a sinus infection?

I have a head cold/possible sinus inf. Why do my teeth hurt?
Sounds like sinus infection. That causes teeth pain because your sinus cavities are swollen and the pressure on the nerves of your teeth.
Reply:Yes, it's because of the sinus infection. The pressure in your sinuses also presses on your teeth causing them to hurt.

or maybe its from grinding ur teeth. - if it is , you can have a mouth guard made for u to wear at night - to stop you from griding so much.
Reply:You probably have made your teeth very sensitive and that is why they are hurting. Try TELLING your dentist about it and sometimes he can fit you for some sort of mouth guard that keeps you from grinding your teeth . This may solve your problem. I doubt you have cavaties.
Reply:its probably from grinding your teeth, i do the same thing and always wake up with random tooth and jaw pain. maybe you have a cracked tooth? sometimes tooth grinding also makes your teeth sensitive so it could just be sensitivity.
Reply:It hurts because you grind! You answered your own question. You should get a mouth guard for night because grinding is pretty bad. I have huge holes in my teeth from grinding and whenever I get cavities, it is because of the holes in my teeth my grinding has caused.

I feel like my mouth locks at night and my teeth hurt?

anyone know wat this is or how to stop it?it doesnt happen everynight but some nights and i feel liek i just cant stop it.Its almost feels liek this huge pressure and my teeth are jst gonna crack or fall off.Horrible sensation, its nearly like in a dreamlik state tho.

I feel like my mouth locks at night and my teeth hurt?
you need to get a night guard. I am the same way, I literally broke one of my teeth in the middle of the night, it snapped. There's not much you can do but a nightguard. They have mouth guards at the store that would be cheaper if money is a problem. It caused from a lot of stress.
Reply:stop stressin
Reply:You could be grinding your teeth in your sleep. Ask your dentist if he can make you a guard which you place in your mouth at night to stop you from doing this.

He'll be able to tell if you are grinding by how worn down the molars are.

that my daughter had that problem.
Reply:You are gritting your teeth in your sleep. You need to see a dentist and he will make you a sleeping plate to stop the gritting causing you damage to your teeth. I have worn one for years, I manage for 2 or 3 months without , then suddenly I will find I am doing it again. Is something worrying you, or, are you in pain? Both will cause you to grit your teeth. If you can find out what is causing you to do it then you may be able to stop it yourself.
Reply:Sounds like you're grinding your teeth at night. You might need a night mouth guard. Check with your dentist...
Reply:When my jaw feels like it's going to lock, I brush the side of my jaw with my fingerTIPS, kind of fast for a few seconds (as if you are trying to brush something off your clothes). For some reason it seems to alleviate the pain. (Rubbing my jaw didn't work.)

Good luck.
Reply:It's called TMJ. Make an appointment with your dentist. I have had this problem for over 40 years. It doesn't go away but there are some things a good dentist can do for you to help you feel better. I completely understand your pain. Wish I had a magic answer but I don't. TMJ stand for temporomandibular joint disease.
Reply:You are grinding your teeth at night and that is why your teeth hurt when you wake up and it can make your jaw lock. Grinding your teeth can cause your teeth to crack and you can also dislocate your jaw. Most of the time stress causes you to grind your teeth. Go see your dentist and have him make you a night guard to wear when you are sleeping so you don't grind your teeth down. I had a patient that grinded his teeth down so far that the nerves of his teeth were exposed so he had to have root canals done on almost all of his teeth. It can cause serious problems. Your dentist can also prescribe you some muscle relaxers to take before you go to bed. Good Luck and I hope that you feel better soon.

I bit on chopsticks really hard and now my teeth hurt.?
You may have irritated a nerve in your tooth root.

I don't know, I'm not a professional. Just watch and if symptoms persist I would call your dentist over the phone and ask him.

Don't bite your nails which will escacerbate it and take some motrin.
Reply:Make sure you don't have a tiny piece still in your gums. Sometimes your teeth and gums still hurt for a while after something because they are very sensitive. Try not to bite your nails or eat hard things until the pain passes.

I got braces today at 10:00 and I've been fine until about an hour ago and the pain is getting worse! Is there ANYTHING I can do to at least reduce the pain? When will they start to not hurt as much?

Reply:Try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water. It taste a little nasty but it helped when I had braces. Hang in there, it will be worth it when they come off.
Reply:I feel your pain. Take some Advil (ibruprofen) or Aleve (naproxen) every 4 to 6 hours and hang in there. Unfortunately, everytime you have an adjustment, your teeth are going to hurt for awhile. As to how long, everyone is different.
Reply:Yeah, I got my braces a couple of months ago. The pain stops after about 24 hours. Try taking an Advil or another type of pain killer. Also try taking your mind off of it, watch TV or something. You could also eat certin foods, my favs were beans and yogert.

Good luck! Hope your teeth look great!

Reply:not really--but don't go by me I think a root canal would be more painful
Reply:I just finished with my full mouth reconstruction and I was scared to death. If I can do it anybody can. But, to answer your question you should be numb and not feel anything but the injection. Have your teeth already been prepped?
Reply:The prep for the cap shouldn't hurt if you are numb. After the prep your teeth may be cold sensitive for a while. The delivery of the crown should be no problem. Sometime it take a few days for the bite to feel right. If it lasts more then that, call your dentist to have it adjusted.

How bad does getting your Wisdom Teeth hurt?
The key to pain management is to take your meds BEFORE

you get in too much pain! Take them on a regular schedule

and get lots of sleep, you shouldn't feel pain, just tired.
Reply:Are you getting your wisdom teeth in or out? If your teeth don't hurt or your wisdom teeth don't cause you any problems you don't have to get them out! When they are coming in get some Orejal and it won't hurt.
Reply:It has been awhile, but I don't recall any pain, just very swollen cheeks. I slept alot afterwards and if there was any pain, I slept it off.

Make sure you stock up on soups, jello's, puddings and ice cream!
Reply:bad
Reply:The pain will come then the drugs wear off! But they should give you a prescription for vicodin or something
Reply:Well, mine are coming in right now, and I wouldn't even know it if I couldn't see them. Getting them ripped out is a different story; normal tooth extractions are just about the worst pain ever, so wisdom teeth has to be way worse. (Make sure the dentist remembers to properly numb it, though. They don't think that part's important, but you sure will!)

everytime i eat chocolate or any type of candy my teeth aches so bad i have to spit it out to stop the pain. do i have gum disease or something? or maybe very bad case of cavity? i dont see anything wrong with my teeth they seem fine... please help me.

What does it mean when your teeth hurt from eating sweets?
Sensitivity to sweet can sometimes be an indicator for tooth decay.

However, I have seen several cases of people telling me their teeth were sensitive to really sweet things and also NOT have tooth decay.

It is certainly something i'd pursue and go to your dentist. If you haven't been in awhile you should consider making an examination appointment. If you do have a cavity, now is the time to get it treated.

Once you have it evaluated for a cavity, if you do not have one the best thing to do if something is hurting you is to listen to your body and not do it.
Reply:you probably have a cavity.

My boyfriend is always hitting my teeth with his and it drives me nuts! I told him he is going to knock them out, could anything like that happen?

Does getting hit with someone elses teeth hurt your teeth?
It is called he is a bad kisser. You need to tell him to be still and teach him how to kiss. Kissing isn't fun when you have to take Tylenol afterwards! I don't know about knocking them out, but I am sure they could chip.
Reply:Uh ... yes ....
Reply:Did someone throw their teeth at you?

Oh I see. I think it's really annoying when people hit your teeth with their teeth, and sure, if they do it hard enough, you could break a tooth. But teeth are REALLY strong (as long as you drank your milk or took calcium), so it's not likely.

Tell him to cover up his big teeth with his lips.
Reply:Not unless he came flying at you from across the room...but if you had a tooth that was already loose or fractured it could. If your teeth are healthy its most likely an annoyance....like most boyfriends are!
Reply:hurts dont it? lol no dont really think can knock them out unless super hard but if hes doing this while you kiss he needs to kiss with his lips not his teeth
Reply:OMG! get a life! Ya right .... like somethin' like that would ever happen!
Reply:hi i am a dental tech for the us navy . the answer is yes any hit on the teeth should be checked. however, the level of damage to the pulp (nerve of the tooth)or to the periodontal ligaments(structures that support the teeth on place) depend on the force of the impact and the strenght of your enamel. i will recommend you to make an appointment with your dentist have him take a look and some x rays of your teeth . if you notice any discoloration of the teeth or pain contact your dentist immediately. a root canal may be needed. good luck
Reply:Jessie : yes it does hurt pertty much if he'd did that to you!

even worse, your teeth could get chipped--which means you'll have like, half-a-tooth in your mouth--the ultimate EW. and there expensive to fix--you have to insert a fake tooth, or half of a fake tooth there.

I have a retainer....why do my back teeth hurt?

2010-05-21T18:55:00.001-07:00

Here's the deal......I got my braces off a month ago and have been to the dentist one time and all they did was tell me about the cavities I had. But everything else looked fine they told me......what I forgot to ask them about was why when I chew steak or any type of meat, my back teeth, usually on the top, and those only, makes that area feel tender and sore?

Anyone know why? Is this common, or my teeth getting used to the retainer or not having braces? Again, it has been about a month, but I do wear my retainer all the time except for 2 hours a day. Is that my teeth moving, because I just went in for a cleaning last week and they told me my teeth are still where they should be. ..........

I have a retainer....why do my back teeth hurt?
Your teeth are getting used to the retainer, most likely. A plastic retainer is somewhat more forgiving than metal braces so your teeth might just be shifting a bit. Keep wearing the retainer according to your dentist's instructions, brush it carefully every day and clean it with a bit of vinegar once a week.
Reply:Your teeth hurt .............. because you have a retainer.
Reply:Its probably the cavities that you have that make your teeth feel tender. Go to the dentist to get those cavities checked.

Reply:She needs to get them taken out immediately or she could risk a very dangerous infection which could result is losing some of her other teeth, muscle damage, or even bone damage. If it she can't afford it right now, take her to the closest hospital-they can bill her later and she can make payment arrangements with them based on how much she can afford. If she can afford it and it is a work/school conflict, she just needs to tell her boss/teacher that she has to have this done immediately and they will understand. Then she needs to go to the closest oral surgeon and schedule surgery. In the meantime while she is waiting to have the surgery, have her hold hot/cold packs on her cheeks and take some acetaminophin (ibprofen, tylenol) to relieve the pain.

Good luck!

Crest Whitestrips makes my teeth hurt! How can I get rid of it?

2010-05-21T18:54:00.002-07:00

This is my second day using Crest Whitestrips. I use it twice a day. I am starting to have sensitivity and pain with my gums and teeth. Is there anyway i can help or get rid of the pain?

Crest Whitestrips makes my teeth hurt! How can I get rid of it?
Stop using them. Even in the instructions, it tells you to discontinue if you experience sensitivity. I used to use them and the same thing happened to me. Excruciating pain, I stopped just out of fear that they would harm my roots. You can try a natural way of whitening teeth that is very effective; just use a 1:1 ratio of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. You may experience slight pain in some teeth, but unlike the strips, these ingredients are good for you, the pain is due to an infection in your teeth that is being treated by the mixture.

Hope this was helpful! :)
Reply:They did the same thing to me. Now I use Listerine Whitening Mouth Rinse .. love it!
Reply:then STOP using the whitening strips. Teeth are NOT white, they are off white in color. No long term tests have been done on whitening strips because they are a new product. It may or may not be damaging your teeth's enamel (stripping it away). And enamel does NOT grow back. So if it is making your teeth hurt take that as a sign to stop using the product forever.
Reply:i used them. but it happen to me too.i hate it i stop right after my 2 day i barely could suffer it.do not try them.just stop what you are doing.

You are probably grinding them. I have the same problem. It's probably a good idea to see the dentist about this, because this can REALLY hurt your teeth.
Reply:YOU COULD BE GRINDING THEM IN YOUR SLEEP. i WOULD EITHER GO TO THE DENTIST OR GET A NIGHT GAURD FROM ANY LOCAL DEPARTMENT STORE LIKE WAL MART!
Reply:cause ur grinding ur teeth. i recomend you buy a night guard or even a mouth guard from walmart will work if u want somthing cheap
Reply:In addition to grinding, you could also be clenching your teeth at night.

A night guard is the way to go.
Reply:You are grinding or clenching.

I found I used to clench my teeth hard when I had a migraine - and I would do it in my sleep especially and not realize it... OUCH!

Go see your dentist - he'll be able to tell by looking at your teeth. If you are grinding - you'll want a night guard to protect your teeth so you don't grind them flat over time and cause lots of pain and eventually jaw and TMJ issues. Clenching can also cause TMJ issues -- sometimes finding out what causes the clenching can help - for me it was the pain - so getting rid of the headaches made me quit clenching. If it's due to stress - reducing stress could help you....

good luck!

Why do my teeth hurt while i got braces on?

2010-05-21T18:53:00.002-07:00

it feels like my teeth have thinned out and are aching like hell . What food shall i eat and is there any medication that can stop the aching

Why do my teeth hurt while i got braces on?
Eat soft food like mashed potatoes, pudding, ice cream, apple sauce. Your teet are hurting because the braces are moving their postion. You can take ibuprofen it really helps with that. The pain will ease up by tomorrow.
Reply:yes there is clove oil tastes yucchh for a while but numbs the pain very quickly and you can eat as normal then but they should not hurt that much so check back with your orthodontist and explain they will be able to help you I'm sure i do know that the brace is therefor a purpose IE changing the shape of you teeth straightening etc so some pain is unavoidable but excessive pain is not the norm so get it checked as for food as long as its not to strong IE boiled sweets then you should be able to eat fairly normally hope this helps
Reply:I remember those days. Your teeth will ache because the brace will be pulling or pushing them out of their usual position. I remember very well how painful it is. Aspirin is very good for tooth ache, which is basically what you have.

Soft foods will be best, but nothing sticky, it'll be hell to get it off your brace. I once got chewing gum wedged in mine and it took all day to pick it out. If you have a food processor you could probably eat just about anything really, if you can mash it up really well.

Eventually your teeth will stop hurting, honest, but it could take a while.
Reply:oooo yes i had that when i was 15!

your teeth are moving!

mine felt like they were bruised!!

have some nice soup or something!

Have you just had them tightened? if so it should wear off in a couple of days or so!

good luck
Reply:its common to have pain after activation of braces because of pressure effecting on the bone and tissues around the tooth. those constant pressure result in the movement of the teeth.you can take paracetamol with the permission of your dentist.you can have warm saline gargle to ease the pain..

Eating the wrong foods can damage or even break your brace. For the first few days, it may be better to keep to soft foods. whether you have a removable or a fixed brace you should avoid sticky, chewy and sugary foods. Chewing-gum is not recommended as it can stick to your brace. Avoid hard foods such as whole apples, carrots, French bread and crusty rolls. These foods could break the orthodontic wires and brackets.

At first it is best to cut your food into small pieces and keep to a soft diet. Food may build up in the brackets and in between your teeth and will need careful cleaning to remove it.

Avoid fizzy drinks and natural fruit juices as these are often high in sugar and can be acidic. This can lead to tooth decay and erosion. Fizzy drinks can also stain the orthodontic brackets. If you do drink fizzy drinks, avoid constant sipping of the drink and use a straw. Water and plain milk are the safest drinks.
Reply:your orthodontist should have told you all this..
Reply:What you are feeling is where the teeth are shifting back into their normal position. You can take any over the counter pain reliever to stop the aching. As for the foods, Stay away from any crunchy, gummy, sticky, or chewy foods, as these can cause the bands and wires to bend or break loosening up the braces. Also do not eat ice (same reason as crunchy foods).
Reply:yea i had braces and my mouth realy ached and couldnt chew for ages, and just as soon as dint hurt no more i had to back to dentist to get brace tightened and then i hurt again, i guess you just have to put up with it and eat soft food....... yea

If you were I high school girl, would you rather go toothless or have ugly buck teeth that hurt all the time?

2010-05-21T18:53:00.001-07:00

I'm 15 and I had option "B"(ugly buck teeth that hurt), but I decided to go with option"A" after a lot of them got loose and I lost some front ones. Which would you choose? Why? Oh, yeah, no dental coverage and not a lot of money, so we didn't have many choices that were anything close to affordable. Hope to get some fake teeth in the spring maybe.

If you were I high school girl, would you rather go toothless or have ugly buck teeth that hurt all the time?
Bless your heart. I honestly feel for you. When I was in high school, I didn't have perfect teeth either, and my family didn't have insurance or anything, and my Mom was the only one that worked because my Dad was disabled. There was 6 in our family. Us kids all got jobs at early ages. Just tell anybody that asks or makes fun of you (hopefully noone will, that is cruel) that you are having dental work done, and hopefully before long your problems will be fixed. AND REMIND THEM THAT THEY AREN'T PERFECT EITHER. Some peoples imperfections are on the inside and other people's are on the outside.
Reply:well I am fourteen and i have large two front teeth and I still get alot of girls at school. Whatever you do do not go toothless and you will eventually be able to get dentures. Report It

Reply:You're in high school?... Oh my god... Send me your email, that is so sad, I would honestly pay for your teeth.

I'm serious, that's not a joke.
Reply:Toothless is scary....but buck teeth is embarrassing. Can't choose. Hope i won't have to come to that terrible decision. I'm sorry about your teeth though.
Reply:Being a Professional Fluffer may be your best shot.
Reply:I am so sorry for you. Was that a result of an illness? Maybe you can get coverage if it was side effect of a medication or treatment. I just hope it's not a result of bad dental hygiene- that's just sad.

Toothless is slightly better because you can have fake teeth put in.
Reply:If it was very painful I would opt to not having them. That is a hard decision. Hopefully you will have some fake ones soon.
Reply:i would hate to have to make that decision. sorry about your teeth and take that person up on their offer to buy you some dentures
Reply:Honey, if you have Medicaid (or your family can apply for it), many dentists take it and may be able to pay for your teeth.

Reply:don't worry, honey ----- you will sooner or later get dentures, and they don't make them "buck". When you do, you might ask them to make small imperfections so they will look more real.
Reply:Are you thpeaking to me?
Reply:Do not pull your teeth if you can help it. If it is money you need to get them fixed I know someone personally very rich that gives money away for things like this.
Reply:Why would buck teeth hurt?

I had buck teeth up until middle school when I finally got braces. It was the BRACES that hurt!

Why do my teeth hurt after I eat a lot of candy?

2010-05-21T18:53:00.000-07:00

They only hurt when I chew something. After a day or two without eating anymore candy the pain will go away.

Why do my teeth hurt after I eat a lot of candy?
You may have decay and the sugar is getting into the holes in your teeth and making them sensitive...see your dentist...
Reply:Go see your dentist. You might have a cavity.
Reply:Because the sugar is eating away at the enamel! STOP IT!

Do NOTT brush your teeth soon after eating candy or drinking a lot of pop either, as that will wear away the enamel even quicker. You should either wait... or wash your mouth out with water first! Happy teeth rotting to ya!

I really like sweets so it really bugs me.

Why do my teeth hurt when i chew gum?

2010-05-21T18:52:00.002-07:00

when i chew gum for a little while my teeth on one side start to ache REALLY bad. I don't have insurance so i really dont know what to do.

Why do my teeth hurt when i chew gum?
You either have a cavity or sensitive teeth. I'd recommend trying to use a sensitive tooth toothpaste, like Sensodyne, and see if that doesn't help.

If you are already using a product for sensitive teeth, you might wish to stop chewing sugary gum, and try sugarless gum, instead.

Finally, if your teeth hurt, you need to see the dentist. Many dentists are willing to work with their patients, financially, so see if yours will allow you to make payments, since you are self-paying.

Good luck!
Reply:your teeth are sensitive to sugar try a sugarless gum.
Reply:It might be a cavity. If the pain is really bad it might havereached the root and you will have to get your toot/teeth removed. so get it checked out because living without those teeth would be bad.
Reply:There could be a lot of different things that are wrong with your tooth. The best thing to do is see a dentist. Any dentist can figure out the problem fairly easily. If cost is a concern to you, I would suggest that you go to a local dental school. The fees are typically half of what a private practice dentist charges.

Hope this helps,

How long will my teeth hurt? root canal?

2010-05-21T18:52:00.001-07:00

It's been 3 days and it hurts a lot. cant bite on it.

it feels almost itchy..tingly.

How long can expect it to hurt for?

How long will my teeth hurt? root canal?
Do NOT wait. You have to get it done anyway, so do it sooner rather than later to avoid unnecessary expenses as well as more complications. Get it done and over with. It's not as bad as you think. It's like a regular filling, but takes a little longer to do. Also make sure you go to an endodontist. Don't let your dentist do a root canal. The endodontists do a million of these every week and can do them with their eyes closed. It's easy, but expensive. Make an appointment today so it's done before the weekend. You don't want to be in excruciating pain over a weekend with dentist offices closed.

OOHHHH!!!! Sorry edit ( I thought you needed a root canal):

******************************

I just read your details. OK, GOOD NEWS...you have what's called a high crown. Just go to your dentist and have him recheck your bite. Tell him the crown is way too high and he'll fix it.

I've had this before. The pain from biting down can bring tears to your eyes. It's easily fixed and he won't even charge you anything to adjust. Call him today.
Reply:ummmm go to the dentist and get it removed or buy some teeth medicen
Reply:call and ask your dentist. that doesn-t sound normal.
Reply:it shouldn't hurt that long , call your dentest
Reply:I've had a root canal done before. It was sore on the day but more or less back to normal the next day after some medication and a good nights sleep. I would go back to the dentist and have it re-checked. You could have developed a slight infection, if its still not better I would get a second opinion. As your dentist has already done the root canal he really has to be put it correct - with no extra charge by the way.
Reply:i had a root canal done on one of my molars. i'm traumatized. no actually it didn't hurt that long. just like that day, my whole jaw was sore, my gums were numb, it did hurt when i'd bite down, but i didn't eat anything for that day because that's what the dentist told me. but if you're still feeling some sort of aching and it hurts when you bite on it, you should go see the dentist. pretty much the best thing you can do. good luck :)

My wisdom teeth hurt real bad.?

2010-05-21T18:52:00.000-07:00

I can't get them pulled for another 10 days. Does anyone have any ideas on what will get me through this? I have been taking Advil but they still hurt. The dentist said they have really big cavaties on them.

My wisdom teeth hurt real bad.?
I am so sorry you have to go through this! I hope I can help, atleast a little bit.

Since these teeth have big cavities in them it may be possible that they are abcessed (infected). If this is the case, place a hot washcloth on the area to disperse the infection. Do Not apply cold to this area.

This may ease some of your discomfort.

Another suggestion is to place a topical anesthetic directly on the sensitive areas. Orajel is a good one. Just don't apply too much or it will make your throat numb as well and cause more unneeded discomfort. To apply the topical....dry off the area where you will be applying the gel. Use a Q-Tip to apply (minimally).

The advil may not work if you are taking the suggested bottle dose. It is OK to take more than recommended in your case. 3 or 4 should do the trick. The reason why they post a low dosage is to prevent problems in people who ALWAYS take this medication. If you are unsure of my suggestion. Call the dentist and ask if he can write you a prescription for Ibuprofen. The dose should be the same as 3 or 4 tablets. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammitory and should help a little. You can also ask for a pain killer script. Just be careful not to over do it.
Reply:YEAH GET A *** OF ORAL GEL AND RUB THE GOODY HEADACHE POWDER AND LAY OFF THE DICK
Reply:Try switching to another painkiller, sometimes Aleve or regular Tylenol works better for some people. You could try stopping by the dentist office to see if they can give you a perscription for something stronger like Tylenol # 2 with Codeine. They might if they understand the situation.
Reply:Try Tylenol if you have or Midol (really)...Anbesol is to numb the gums, but if you apply it to the area where the wisdom teeth are it may relieve some pain....

Good luck.

Which wisdom teeth hurt more to have pulled?

2010-05-21T18:51:00.003-07:00

I only have two wisdom teeth and they're both on the bottom. None on the top. They're coming in straight but I have a real small jaw and had braces. I'm 16

Which wisdom teeth hurt more to have pulled?
i'm sorry,but the bottom. it is easier for the hole on the top to drain. been there, done that and i lived!!!!!
Reply:if there symmetrical to each other, then i would say that it will probably hurt equally for both....it shouldn't be so bad if they do it very fast....
Reply:I would say that the bottom hurt worse then the top
Reply:The bottom ones for sure get most of the aftermath. I didn't notice a thing with my top ones because they can drain properly, which is what leads to the bottom ones not healing up as well.
Reply:The top ones are the worst IMO because they are so close to the sinus cavity and I can't have one removed because it is just too risky that they will puncture it
Reply:I had all of mine pulled at once so I can't help ya there. I doubt there is any difference.
Reply:well you'll feel after affects but they should give you pain meds.
Reply:Get them all done at the same time. Then you have the pain and when your better your better. I really do not know if there is a difference in pain.

Did your wisdom teeth hurt when coming through?

2010-05-21T18:51:00.002-07:00

mine are growing and 1 is fully grown, 2 are still coming through. I don't actually feel it (not yet anyway) but I hear that it hurts for most people. Did it hurt for you and how much?!

Did your wisdom teeth hurt when coming through?
It depends on the direction of which they are comming from. If they are errupting at an angle, and pushing on other teeth they can be painful. Most of the pain that people experience from wisdom teeth are when they have them extracted. There are certain procedures that must be followed and sometimes you can get what is commonly known as a dry socket, where the bone in your jaw is exposed and that is VERY painful. If they are errupting, and you are feeling no pain that's great. If you do experience some pain, and are not planning on having them extracted, you can simply take some asprin to relieve the pain.
Reply:They did not hurt me at all...they simply grew painlessly...
Reply:I never even knew when my wisdom teeth came in. They came in perfectly straight with plenty of room. Some of us are just lucky :-)
Reply:I only had one actual break through the gums. And yes, it hurt. Not "pain" but a nagging throb. I felt my other teeth moving forward gradually over 6 months. I just got all of my wisdoms removed and I can already tell a difference in the pressure on my other teeth.

I think anyone would feel pain with a wisdom tooth breaking through the gums...babies cry when they teethe...why shouldn't we? :-)

My pain would come and go. Sometimes I wouldn't feel anything for months and then it got bad with my upper left. I saw my dentist, he referred me to my oral surgeon and VIOLA no more wisdom teeth :-)

Good luck!

P.S. I recommend getting them removed before it become a problem or an issue. Ta Ta!
Reply:See a dentist!

Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 18 and 20 (although they may appear when older, younger, or fail to appear at all). They are called "wisdom teeth" because they appear so late—much later than the other teeth, at an age where people are supposedly wiser than as a child, when the other teeth erupt. Often they need to be removed when they impact against other teeth—colloquially known as "coming in sideways."

Wisdom teeth are often impacted, meaning they are covered by soft tissue (gums), hard tissue (bone) or both. Just as with any extraction, once teeth are removed, the body starts the process of healing the extraction site, via inflammation (sending cells, nutrients and proteins to the site of the wound) and wound healing (organizing all those things into a matrix and eventually filling in the socket). Unfortunately, inflammation hurts, and that's why there's ibuprofen- over the counter is fine, but usually your dentist will give you something stronger (by prescription).

If the teeth are in your mouth (erupted), the surgical procedure will go more smoothly (most of the time), than if they are impacted, in which case more gum tissue has to be pushed around, and possibly some bone removed to get the teeth out. One last thing about 3rd molars- they are like the wild cards of molars. They can tilt all different ways, and have roots that twist in different directions. Bottom line- the more hard and soft tissue (bone and gums) that have to be disturbed to remove the tooth, the more complicated the surgery, the more healing there is, and the more pain. Make sure you ask your dentist for pain meds that are appropriate for the level of impaction that the wisdom teeth had.

My ears & teeth hurt!?

2010-05-21T18:51:00.001-07:00

I have had a cold for 8 days now, it seems to be getting worse, it started normal with a runny nose and alot of coughing at night, but now it's my runny nose, coughing, and I am having a pressure feeling in my ears and alot of pain in my teeth. Is this normal??? What is going on, should I go to my doctor???

My ears %26amp; teeth hurt!?
Pain is always a sign that something is wrong. You may have an upper respiratory infection. However, since it has been going on for several days and worsening, this is a clear sign that you should seek medical help. You just cannot be too careful. Also, the pain in the ears and teeth indicates that the nerves are sensitive and irritated. These nerves are actually connected to each other. So that explains why they are both hurting. Don't self treat. Seek professional help. You owe it to yourself. Good luck.
Reply:go to your doctor...sounds like you have a sinus infection :( feel better!
Reply:You may have acute sinusitis! Read about it at http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/acute-s...

Only your physician can determine whether this will resolve on its own (the common cold is a rhinovirus, which means antibiotics won't affect it) or whether it may be a secondary bacterial infection that does need antibiotics.

If your sinus drainage is colored (yellow, white, brown, red) you may have a secondary bacterial infection. It may be time to see your physician!
Reply:This is abnormal.

For cough you should take all hot foods/drinks.

Tea/coffie without milk and sugar is good.

Boiled/steamed pulses, sprouts, salads and vegis will help you.

Avoid all fruits, milk, sweets, fats and stale bakery foods.

Your problem is due to excessive coldness energy of kidneys(as per science of acupuncture).

Kidneys are related to ear, bones, teeth and joints. Coldness energy creates pain. HENCE YOU ARE GETTING IT.

There is no medicine for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV %26amp; COMPUTER SOMETIMES,

Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 90% success in treating ALL PAINS confirms it.

Acupuncture is the ONLY best treatment.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.

These useless drugs have enormous power to create hazardous side effects like liver/kidney failure, ulcer, acidity adn lot others.

Preggo and teeth hurt everyday since......?

2010-05-21T18:51:00.000-07:00

OMG! My teeth hurt! What can i do?...?

2010-05-21T18:50:00.001-07:00

I have 3 teeth in really rough shape. The pain is excruciating and getting to be quite unbearable. Between the bills, living expenses, and no dental insurance, I am unable to afford the dental care I need. There must be something i can do. Any suggestions?

OMG! My teeth hurt! What can i do?...?
If the teeth are sensitive to cold only (i.e. when you breath in cold air or eat ice cream or drink cold beverages) you may get by with keeping your teeth very clean (brush 2-3x/day and floss AT LEAST 3-5x/week) and using a sensitivity toothpaste like sensodyne.

If your teeth are aching and throbbing or hurt when you tap on them or bite on something, you may have one or more abscesses which may require root canal or extraction (pulling the teeth).

I'm sorry that you are having a hard time getting in to see a dentist. If there is a dental school nearby you may be able to get very inexpensive care there or free care depending on your qualifications for financial assistance from your state (such as medicaid).

Good luck.
Reply:you can wash your mouth out with warm water and salt. I'm sorry there really is nothing you can do except take pain pills take a chance of getting addicted to them or just break down and have them pulled
Reply:go to a pharmacy and see if anyone can suggest any medicine or over the counter products. Continue cleaning out your mouth daily- brush with a clean toothbrush, floss, mouthwash and drink a lot of water. If nothing helps consider taking a loan..
Reply:take pain pills and soak your mouth out with warm water maybe you have cavities go the the dentist and ask him/her
Reply:have your family pay for your dental work iment either one of your parents help you
Reply:well another option is to go to a community dental college and sign up for a viewing and maybe some work by the dental students its alot cheaper then anyother dentist office
Reply:Rinse your mouth with peroxide. My husband swears by it.

Also, you may want to research in your area, dental students who will work on teeth for about 10% of normal dental billing costs. They are supervised by mentors.

Another suggestion is to research the many dental discount programs,various dentist accept. The membership is fairly reasonable ( about $10 a month) however dental procedures are almost cut in half. With age, your teeth only worsen no matter how many times you brush or floss. You can take care of one tooth at a time, your dentist can work up a treatment plan to meet your financial needs.
Reply:I'm taking animal grade tetracycline (at your local feed store) for 2 months. It keeps down the infection that causes pain. Tax time I will fly to Mexico and have them all out ( only 14 left). Then get new teeth. Mexico is about $300 with new teeth. Implants too.

U.S. Dentist are money hungry parasites.
Reply:you should go dentist office and tell them your teeth is hurt.
Reply:Some cities have health departments for low income families. See if were you live has one. They have free and very inexpensive dental care.
Reply:Sounds like you need the bad ones out. If there is a dental school in your area they have lower prices. You might also want to take out one at a time and cut the cost. The longer you wait and more broken down they are the more it will cost you. Maybe you can make payments before you have the work done. If you rinse with peroxide please dilute it..do not use it full strength. But, this will not get rid of any infection if you have one. Just keep checking with diff. offices! Good Luck!

Preggo and teeth hurt everyday since......?

2010-05-21T18:50:00.000-07:00

I am preggo and every single night my teeth ache. Most of the time it is either all of the top right or left side of my mouth taking turns each night. I use tylenol when I can not stand it but it barely touches the pain. I don not see any cavities or anything in my mouth. I know only a dentist can tell. However, it started right when I got pregnant. Has anyone been through or known someone who went through this?

Preggo and teeth hurt everyday since......?
I had horrible teeth problems when I was pregnant. Get you self to the dentist to get checked out. Dental care is VERY important when your pregnant. If the dentist wants to do any work make sure you speak to your OB before you have anything done and make sure your dentist knows your pregnant. Good Luck!!!
Reply:I would go to the dentist. You could have an infection which could have an affect on your baby. It is recomended to go to the dentist at least once during pregnancy. No x-rays though.
Reply:Yep. Mine turned out to be a tooth infection. It's dangerous to let it go untreated so I would give your dentist a call just to get a check up and a good cleaning done. It might just be swollen gums. The hormones do tend to do that but it's best to get a good check up done. Just make sure your dentist is aware you are pregnant and they will know what is and isn't safe.

Tooth infections can move into the blood stream causing miscarriage or preterm birth.
Reply:I have been going through this the past few weeks! It's is because of the calcium being drained from you to the baby! During pregnancy some women experience their teeth shifting, which at night I have felt and heard my teeth crackle, which is very uncomfortable and annoying! Take your prenantal vitamins, drink milk,orange juice or anything that is high in calcium it will help ease the pain for you, and help provide your baby with strong healthy bones! Congrats!
Reply:Before my friend was pregnant she had NO fillings, or cavaties. By the time she had her daughter she needed to get 12 fillings..12!!!!!! Pregnancy can do weird things to your body...all of a sudden I'm blind as a bat at night, and can't drive, which is so odd! Consult your dentist, and keep up on your teeth!
Reply:Usually your Gums will be sensitive and bleed during pregnancy because of all the extra blood going through your body, Just drink lots of milk and brush your gums 2-3 times aday. If that ain't it then you should visit your dentist. Good Luck.
Reply:do you still have your wisdom teeth? My teeth hurt so bad with all of my pregnancy's. Bleeding gums, swollen gums, receding gums, and my wisdom teeth always acted up. I even had to start using sensitive toothpaste and when i went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned they had to numb my mouth before they cleaned because the pain was so bad. Try letting the tylenol sit in your mouth against your gums where the pain is, and let it dissolve a little before you swallow. It tastes awful but goes right into your blood stream where you need it to go first.
Reply:You can buy this stuff called Goodys

it is already in powder form...let that settle in your mouth before swallowing it down with milk....it comes in orange flavor too.

It contains aspirin and caffeine and acetaminophen, so talk to your Dr about taking them first. But they really work.

Reply:The fact that the pain shifts from side to side leads me to believe you may have a sinus infection. Sinus infections can cause serious pain in your teeth because the root of your upper teeth extends into your sinuses. The shifting pain is likely caused by infected mucus draining from one side of your face to the other, depending on which side you are laying on. Pregnancy causes increased congestion in your sinuses which may have prevented proper drainage and caused infection. I would call your general practitioner before a dentist. Or both!

Good luck to you and I hope you are feeling well soon!
Reply:I have not had those issues and have really not heard about that before... not that it is not real or anything, but I would call the dentist you might need a root canal or you might just have an infection of some sort - an infection could hurt you and your baby so its worth going to the dentist even if there is nothing wrong - they will do xrays which are perfectly fine while preggo! Good luck!
Reply:I went through that. I had to be prescribed amoxicillin twice because of infections. That was the only thing that made the pain stop. My teeth were loosened during the pregnancy, and I actually lost a tooth afterward. The most important thing you can do is get yourself to a dentist. If the dentist balks at x-raying you or examining you fully because you're pregnant, have your OB/GYN either consult with the dentist and let the dentist know what it is okay and not okay to do, or write a note to the dentist outlining what treatment you are allowed to undergo. I wish I had taken things more seriously when I was pregnant.

Many women have tooth and gum issues while pregnant. It is a common problem, but unfortunately many dentists are uneducated in dealing with it and will refuse to x-ray or treat pregnant women.
Reply:Its actually pretty normal, your teeth and gums can change during pregnancy. You should take extra care of them while your pregnant, as they are more likely to become inflamed and infected. The inflammation can be painful so that's probably what your experiencing. My gums bleed everytime I bushed my teeth while I was pregnant, but after giving birth they went back to normal. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!!!
Reply:Sometimes pregnancies affect women's teeth. Like you said only a dentist can assist your teeth and tell you what is going on. I believe your best bet would be to go to dentist and get examined just to see what's going on. On the flip side, I wouldn't get to worried. Many women have issues with their teeth during pregnant. Just see a dentist.

All my back teeth hurt is it because?

2010-05-17T21:14:00.001-07:00

im on prescription?

ever since i was put on zoloft my teeth feel like there rotting i even have a bad headache but my teeth are in perefect shape i brush em 2wice a day!

thanks!

All my back teeth hurt is it because?
Zoloft can cause dry mouth which keeps bacteria in mouth longer. Your teeth are not rotting though. Try Biotene antibacterial toothpaste for dry mouth.

Suck on sugarless hard candy.

Your headaches should subside.

Good luck
Reply:maybe you got some food stuck back there and its infected. it happens... especially with pop-corn.
Reply:I'm not familiar with the side-effects of Zoloft but I think pain in your back teeth is unlikely to be related. If that's the only thing that's changed recently, though, you should call your doctor's office just to be sure. They should be extra-willing to work with you and adjust your medication if needed since it's a new prescription.
Reply:These type of drugs make me grind my teeth at night. I have ground them so much they are loose.
Reply:How old are you? If you are in your late teens-early twenties, it could be wisdom teeth coming in.

My teeth hurt 2 weeks after getting cavities filled...?

2010-05-17T21:14:00.000-07:00

on the left side of my mouth. Prior to getting them filled, the left side did not hurt in the slightest, but somehow there were supposedly 3 cavities. I get the feeling that my dentist not only filled cavities that didn't exist, but also did damage while he was in there that is causing lasting pain. What should I do?

My teeth hurt 2 weeks after getting cavities filled...?
Well first of all, cavities only hurt once they get really big and through to the nerve. It's very common for people to have small cavities which they know nothing about, and most people are glad that their dentist picks them up and treats them, rather than leaving them to get worse.

Secondly, your bite might be off now that you've had fillings, in other words, the teeth with fillings might now be slightly taller than they were before, and so are coming into contact with their opposite teeth earlier than any of the other teeth, which will cause pain. It's fairly common - just go back to your dentist, they'll get you to bite down on some contact paper a few times and if your bite is wrong they'll grind down the fillings a bit.
Reply:Go to another dentist and get him to tell you whats going on, if your dentist did any extra work he wasn't supposed to.
Reply:there mist have been some infection inside.got blocked by filling and it starts spreading so pain better go back to dentist
Reply:I'm soo sorry for the toothache u are still enduring...Its a quite a dilemma.

It could be that the dentist has filled the cavity too tight that it is pressing the nerve, that can be a problem when the tooth was way damaged.

Or that there is an infection, after the antibiotics wear off, you feel the pain too. In any case u'll have to get to another dentist as the previous one will never admit wht went wrong.

Good luck and dont wait, go to another dentist asap

Do babies top teeth hurt more when they come in?

2010-05-17T21:13:00.003-07:00

My son is 8 months and already has his 2 bottom teeth... he is teething again now, but this time it is much worse. He has had a fever of 102 several times now and he is just out of sorts. He isn't eating right, sleeping right, etc. You can tell he is in pain and he is grabbing his face sometimes... we've been giving him tylenol or motrin off and on and his fever has been going up and down. How long will this last? Is it more difficult for babies to get their top teeth? We don't see anything coming in on the bottom... any help, thanks!

Do babies top teeth hurt more when they come in?
I was told the top teeth in the middle are terrible to cut! My daughter is going through that now and she is miserable! Try one of those mesh bags with the handle. I think it was made to put chucks of food in it. I put ice cubes or popsicles pieces in it and it is great! Use a waterproof bib or try it outside on a hot day. Do you have any teething toys? I was told things like pacifiers and other teeth rings can help because the pressure on the gums when biting or sucking.

I am counting down the days until my daughter is feeling better!
Reply:Top teeth are usually bigger than bottom teeth, that's the only thing I can think of. Are you sure he doesn't have an ear infection to go along with teething? 102 is a pretty good fever.

Good luck. Frozen waffles or bagels work great as teethers.

Why do my teeth hurt?

2010-05-17T21:13:00.002-07:00

I have mild pain when I chew and when I brush my teeth. It just started today. I don't think it's a cavity because I never had a cavity in my adult teeth, and it effects all my molars when something presses on them.

Why do my teeth hurt?
Yeah I used to have the same problem. It's called sensitive gums %26amp; tooth. You need to use a formulated toothpaste for sensitive teeth people. Then the problem would go away after a week. Also try taking Vitamin C to strengthen those gums.
Reply:well you just might have a cavity or two or there could be something wrong w/your gums and if it continues I'd advise you to go to see your dentist for some x-rays and/or an evaluating.
Reply:you could have sensitive teeth.There is a toothpaste "synsodyne".It help with the pain when there is pressure or if hot or cold on your teeth hurt. If that isn't it you may have something going on with your gums underlining and may need to see a Dentist. Good Luck.
Reply:Have a dentist check to see if your wisdom teeth are pushing up and out. They can be a real source of tooth pain and headaches.
Reply:sounds like it is the gums

you must not have brushed well either on one side of the teeth, or worse, between two adjacent teeth, and as a result some bacteria must be working off the base of leftover food...

advice:

- carefully brush the teeth in the affected area, from both sides. Remember, it is not strength that counts, but making sure the brush's hairs penetrate between the teeth, and brush the are where the gum and the tooth join

- use dental floss between the teeth of the afftected area, maybe something will come out

if symptoms persist, consult a dentist - it is not because you never had a cavity, that you never will!
Reply:If you eat or drink anything acidic or drink red wine, it may affect your teeth. Use Sensodyne for a couple of days, and if the pain doesn't go away, see a dentist.
Reply:Sensitive teeth. Though, when I had it, it was only for cold things. You can either use a toothpaste specially formulated for sensitive teeth, or just leave it (like I did). It goes away eventually.

Reply:eat pudding icecream soup macaroni applesauce ... etcc good luck the pain will wear off in a few days

Reply:Yea, they will hurt when they tighten them for about the first year. I've had braces and it's tempting seeing all that good food and I took my chances and it was definitely not worth it. Once they break, especially if you just got them on, your teeth will begin to go right back to the way they were before you got braces. Try eating pudding or jello. Once you get them off, you'll be so happy and you'll realize that it was worth it. Good Luck!
Reply:start taking ibuprofen now. if you're underage chekc with your parents but you can take up to 800mg every 6 to 8 hours and that will help with the pain enough to eat. Next time you get an adjustment start taking the ibuprofen as soon as you leave the ortho's office and you'll avoid the pian for the most part.
Reply:take an ibuprofen like advil or whatever, and when you eat cut your food into veryyy small pieces, it helps
Reply:just take ibuprofen or pain reliever before you go and you'll be fine!!

My Wisdom Teeth hurt?

2010-05-17T21:13:00.000-07:00

i am 16 and my back right gums hurt really bad like i cant even bite down. do i need them pulled and i am deathly afraid of dentist (i know its bad) but will it hurt ?

My Wisdom Teeth hurt?
Unfortunately this will not be good news for you. For most people, yes, having wisdom teeth pulled results in some post-surgical pain. The lowers are usually worse than the uppers. In many cases the teeth are impacted or otherwise difficult to remove and must be broken out in pieces.

Fortunately you are usually asleep during the actual extraction. But you will likely have post-surgical swelling and discomfort. It's not horrible screaming torture kind of pain, don't get me wrong. It's kind of a medium level ache, like if you sprained your finger. They do give you pain pills, though, and it doesn't take long to recover. In the end you will be glad to have them gone, because the pain you're having now will be over.
Reply:Why? They'll probably give you some crazy drugs, thats all the persuasion i need to go to the dentist.

My teeth hurt?

2010-05-17T21:12:00.000-07:00

I have made the mistake of eating lemons, and some of the enamel on my teeth has been dissolved.

Is there a way to restore enamel, like a special toothpaste or something?

My teeth hurt?
There are many toothpastes on the market that will help strengthen the enamel you have left on your teeth, but unfortunately enamel is not something that "grows" back. You may need to see a dentist to have a series of enamel brushes done. Basically what they do is "paint" enamel on your teeth. If your teeth are really bad you will probably have to have them capped.

Stay away from foods that make your teeth sensitive. Use a non abrasive toothpaste, which means stay away from whitening toothpastes they are most abrasive. The best is to try baking soda and peroxide and mix yourself. This is non-abrasive and best for your teeth if you can stand the taste.

Reply:i don't think that lemons can erode enamel on teeth... but if ur teeth hurt from the lemons then you probably have peridontal disease and the dentist can do a deep cleaning on them and that should make them feel better once the tarter and infection are gone.

Reply:I was born with no enamel on my teeth because my parents were cousins.
Reply:Tooth enamel, unlike many other tissues of the body, has no way to regenerate itself. After destruction (of enamel) from dental caries (tooth decay) or injury, neither body nor dentist can restore enamel tissue, let alone any 'store' products. But modern science has many ways to repair and replace lost enamel, cosmetically. (Crowns). Talk to your dentist or orthodontist
Reply:no, you can not restore enamel... but you can brush with sensodyne... it will fill in the tiny 'pores' on the exposed denten...

depending on how much erosion you've experienced, your dentist could bond composite resin (tooth colored filling material) to your teeth... but he could probably only do that to the severly erroded areas.... other than that, all you can really do to restore any typ of normalacy to your teeth, is to use sensodyne and ACT flouride rinse.

Bottom front teeth hurt and the left side of my chin and lip are still numb. Normal?

2010-05-17T21:11:00.003-07:00

It's been 2-3 days since I had my wisdom teeth removed. Both were removed from the left side of my mouth. The left side of my lower lip as well as the left side of my chin are still numb. I also have pain in my lower front teeth. What could be the cause of this? I read something about nerve damage. Does anyone know if this loss of sensation is permanent? Can I sue even if I signed something that had forewarned me of this?

Bottom front teeth hurt and the left side of my chin and lip are still numb. Normal?
Before you set out to sue someone you would need to be officially diagnosed with "nerve damage". You will need to go back to the dentist who performed the procedure. Honestly, you should consider going in as soon as possible. The symptoms your having doesn't sound normal for the procedure you had.
Reply:This definitely sounds like paresthesia to me, which is a loss of sensation in your left Inferior Alveolar nerve. The nerve could have been damaged or compressed while the tooth was extracted. The loss of sensation could be temporary or it could be permanent, it depends on the extent of the damage. You can certainly attempt to sue. And if you could prove gross negligence on the part of the dentist you may even win. But since you were forewarned of this possible outcome and the dentist did provide you with informed consent, then it may be very difficult for you to be successful in your case. Good luck, I hope things get back to normal quickly.
Reply:The numbness, or parethesia, can last anywhere from a few days or weeks to months. Sometimes the loss of sensation is permanent or it can be partial.

You can try and sue if you want, this is USA after all. In my opinion the dentist wasn't negligent in his job. He or she warned you ahead of time, and you signed a consenst form saying you knew what risks were involved.

u seem to have what we call sensitivity.u most probably have scrubbed away ur enamel n exposed the inner layer called dentin.this sensitivity can be either controlled by using desensitising mouthrinses or by restoring the abraded area(ur dentist has to do that fer u).pls don't brush more than twice a day.try using a powered or battery operated toothbrush.it cleans much better n won't abrade ur teeth.good luck

Reply:that sounds like a good plan.

if that doesnt work,

there just might be a peice of metal in your mouth =]

if you do it more it wears off the enamel.

how old are you? have all your teeth grown in yet? maybe when you brush and floss you are brushing wrong and it is making your gums hurt.
Reply:There are many reasons!

sometimes the type of toothbrush you are using can cause pain on your gums causing your teeth to hurt, teeth problems are not always caused by cavitie, sometimes the way you brush your teeth can effect it. My dentist tells me to brush in circles because my teeth used to hurt. And some people are sensitive when they eat. But if you can't figure it out then talk to a trusted dentist!

I hope this helps and the pain goes away!

Reply:i think you may be overdoing it. the peroxide is one of the ingredients in whitening and can make your teeth sensitive if you put it on at full strength all the time.

Neydent toothpaste has ingredients to make your teeth not so sensitive. you can get sensodyne, but it doesn't work as well. and for a toothbrush, i recommend an ionic one (not sonic). you won't need to brush as hard.

Before whitening your teeth, you should find out if your teeth have thin enamel. This can cause your teeth to have a yellowish or brownish apperance. Whitening will not help in this situation and can make appearance worse and cause sensitivity.

another product called zoom is aslo causing some sensitivity issues with people:

http://www.rebeccablood.net/archive/2007...

to keep your teeth white, here is some info:

Chewing on crunchy foods like carrots, apples and celery, is said to cause friction which helps get debris off your teeth that can stain them. There are many old natural remedies and some new natural and/or herbal products, as well as, some chemical products, all claiming to whiten teeth.

The color of teeth comes from genetics originally, and it varies person to person. Teeth will natually discolor over time due to age. The best way to keep teeth as white and you were designed to have, is to avoid foods, liquids, drugs, and products that stain teeth.

Avoid things known to stain teeth, like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tobacco products, food colorings, etc.... Avoid direct exposure to a lot of raw lemons or citrus products like tomatos, limes, oranges, as the citric acid wears the enamel off the teeth, and when dentin is exposed (like with cavities), it can cause discoloration. If you do eat them, rinse your teeth right away. Avoid carbonated drinks that contain phosphoric acid, like coca cola for the same reason. Sports drinks often contain citric acid, phosphoric acid and organic acid (coffee contains organic acids, also). The latter two are known to break down calcium, along with breaking down enamel. Also, If you eat raw papaya or raw pineapple, rinse your mouth after eating them, as they have enzymes that can cause sores in your mouth and gums, because they break down proteins.

The antibiotic tetracycline is known to cause teeth to stain and so is fluoride and caffeine. Mercury fillings cause teeth to stain where the tooth comes in contact with the filling; This is because of galvanization. So, one should get all amalgams replaced. Gold seems to be ok as long as it is a good quality gold such as high noble, and white composites or porcelain fillings can be used.

Hydrogen peroxide can whiten teeth, but it can penetrate teeth, which are porous, and cause sensitivity. It is used in dental bleaching. It is a special 35% solution, so buying the 2% bottle of it over the counter in hopes to make your teeth white, will not work and could eventually cause sensitivity, irritation, or inflamation of the gums. Myself, I do not recommend teeth whiteners of any kind, for the same reason. If you do decide to use a teeth whitener, either over the counter or from the dentist, if you are not avoiding foods that cause staining, your teeth will stain again, and you will have wasted your money. To whiten your teeth often, will most likely cause sensitivity, enamel breakdown, and can lead to cavities. The long term effects of teeth bleaching on nerves and blood vessels inside the teeth are unknown. Laser bleaching seems to cause more problems with sensitivity than non-laser bleaching. Bleaching does not work on false teeth, crowns, veneers or fillings (even white ones). You may opt to replace those with lighter shades if you don't like the color. Bleaching is not recommended for children whose teeth are still developing or for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

It is important to brush after meals to avoid plaque and tartar build up, which can also cause discoloration. Avoid toothpastes that contain abrasives to fight plaque and tarter, as they can wear away enamel and make the dentin show through (which has a yellowish or brownish tint), which can cause staining, or cavities or cause your teeth to appear brown or yellow. Also, avoid brushing too hard for the same reason. If you do consume products that cause staining, use water to rinse your mouth directly afterward.

There is a technique called internal bleaching. The only way it can be done is to have a root canal, and root canals cause devastating health effects and should be avoided altogether.

The British Dental Association has expressed concern that the smokers' whitening toothpastes Clinomyn and Pearl Drops are too abrasive. Many whitening toothpastes contain titanium dioxide, a suspected carcinogen and can be absorbed by the skin, and, when the effluent containing it is discharged from manufacturers, it acidifies rivers and seas.

Smokers toothpaste, Topol, containing an abrasive form of silica to remove heavy stains from tar and resin deposits can cause damage to cementum and dentin in people with gingival recession, resulting root exposure.

Tooth whitening actually requires modifying the intrinsic tooth color, chemically alterating the chromophores within the tooth. Whitening toothpastes using bicarbonate, alumina and polyphosphates cannot whiten teeth; All they can do is contribute to stain removal. Whitening requires bleaching or enzymatic disruption.

Acid penetration and dissolution has not been an acceptable method of whitening for nearly a century.

Many products claim whitening ability with various peroxides -- hydrogen, calcium or carbamide. For over-the-counter peroxide content is kept low. It has effervescence and maybe some short-lived bleaching because peroxide is rapidly broken down by oral enzymes from bacteria and saliva. Gels stay on longer, but must be used with a tray to work. Only whitening products used by dentists have ADA acceptance. Over-the-counter product manufacturers have never attempted such claims.

A product called NatureWhite contains carbamide peroxide is supposed to whiten your teeth dramatically with just one 45 Minute application. It is said to be the same thing that dentists use and that dentists use a 12% solution while NatureWhite uses a 22% solution. Crest white strips, by comparison, have a 3% solution.

Before whitening your teeth, you should find out if your teeth have thin enamel. This can cause your teeth to have a yellowish or brownish apperance. Whitening will not help in this situation and can make appearance worse and cause sensitivity.

There are herbs that have been used throughout history to whiten teeth. Sage boiled in water to make tea was said to strengthen gums and whiten teeth. During the middle ages, powdered mint leaves were used to whiten teeth. Charcoal was touted as the best powder to use for whitening teeth, removing tartar and preventing decay. Other common ingredients in tooth powders included: cream of tartar, camphor, white castile soap powder, cuttle fish bone, precipitated chalk, powdered borax, powdered gum myrrh, powdered orris root, and talc. The majority of these ingredients cleaned and whitened teeth.

Here are some other natural remedies :

Take a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tsp of salt. Make a paste. Apply this on the yellowish tint.

Use the inner white part of an orange peel to rub teeth for a lovely white shine.

Take half teaspoon of bi-carbonate of soda mixed with a little water to form a paste. Rub this on your teeth.

Dried %26amp; powdered Bay leaves combined with dried orange peel is an excellent whitener.

Strawberries, oddly enough are said to have cleansing and bleaching properties that can help remove of tea and coffee stains, especially from dentures. Crush the strawberries gently and rub the pulp onto your teeth. Rinse with water.

There are some new tooth pastes and products with Bromaine Complex, a combination of the natural enzymes, Bromelaine from pineapple, and Papain from papaya, said to be clinically proven to whiten teeth.

Dentizyme is an herbal remedy; it consists of a unique blend of bio-active plant enzymes, organic botanicals, rainforest botanicals, and essential oils. Dentizyme users report fewer or no gum disease symptoms, they also report that their gums look pinker and healthier along with excellent teeth whitening results and teeth stains are said to disappear entirely with continued use of this herbal extract.
Reply:Maybe you are grinding or clenching your teeth in your sleep. That is the cause of tooth loss more often than cavities. The dentist can fit you for a new appliance. It is a type of bite splint.

It is a little piece of hard plastic molded to your front teeth. It actually teaches you to stop grinding because you can't. it is not like the old kind that looks like a sports mouth guard.

Grinding caused me to have many root canals and crowns because I was cracking and breaking all of my perfectly straight, white teeth. Since I have been wearing the splint at night, they pain has all but gone away.

This is relatively new so your dentist may not know about it. Ask him to research it, it's only been out about 2 years.

I dont know whether it's my teeth or gums, but during and after eating chocolate i get this horrible sensation in between some of my teeth. And when i try rinsing them of with water or juice it makes it even worse. Does anyone know what could be causing this?????

Do wisdom teeth hurt and can you get them at 13 years old?

2010-05-17T21:09:00.002-07:00

I have this painful kind of lump at the back of my mouth at the top of my mouth where wisdom teeth usually grow. It feels like a tooth is growing through but it could just be an ulser growing around a tooth. I'm going to the dentist soon but until them I really want to know what it is before I go. Can you help ?

Do wisdom teeth hurt and can you get them at 13 years old?
Wisdom teeth can grow at 13, especially if you've been maturing faster than other people your age.

And yes, if they're breaking through the bone they hurt like all get out, according to my brother.

Your dentist is the only one that can tell you for sure. Be sure to tell him or her that you think it might be your wisdoms and if they might be able to do an x-ray and check or something.
Reply:Wisdom teeth can hurt very badly sometimes!! and yes you can get them at 13. It will feel like a sore bump in the back of your mouth also.
Reply:They can hurt and you can get them that early. Whether or not that's your problem, nobody can tell from a question on Yahoo.
Reply:THATS DEFINATELY A WISDOM TOOTH. DONT WORRY A COUPLE OF DAYS AND U WOULD GET USED TO IT.
Reply:OH YEAH!!!!!! THEY HURT!!!!!!!!!

They don't usually 'come in' so early, but stranger things have happened...!
Reply:Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 16 and 24 (ALTHOUGH THEY MAY APPEAR WHEN OLDER OR YOUNGER). They are commonly extracted when they affect other teeth—this impaction is colloquially known as "coming in sideways."[1] Most people have four wisdom teeth, but it is possible to have more or fewer. Absence of one or more wisdom teeth is an example of hypodontia. Any extra teeth are referred to as supernumerary teeth.[2][3]
Reply:Sounds like wisdom teeth. I started getting them when I was 12 so yea, it's young but it's still normal. Luckily I got to keep mine, I even had braces put on them which is pretty weird.

i had dental surgery on my two front teeth like a month ago and my teeth are still really sensative.what can i do???thanks

You could use an antobiotic. Like motrin. Go to the drug store. And look in the over the counter pain killers. You could ask a pharimcist to help you.
Reply:Try gargling out your mouth with peroxide... that seems to work for me.

My teeth hurt when I'm sick?

2010-05-17T21:09:00.000-07:00

Whenver I get sick, the worst part of it is that my teeth hurth!! It's not really my teeth themselves, but more like my gums. It feels like soreness. Can someone explain this?? Thanks!

My teeth hurt when I'm sick?
Several different things could be happening. Because your immune system is working overtime, your gums may become slightly inflamed. You may be more sensitive to pain when you're sick, especially if your temperature is above normal. Also, if you have a sinus infection, the roots of your upper teeth are VERY close to the sinus cavities in the face, so it may feel as though the teeth and gums are achey. Ibuprofen, tylenol, or aspirin can help most of the time. I don't know your age, but if you are in your teens, don't take aspirin or ibuprofen if you have a viral infection - stick with Tylenol to avoid the possibility of Reye's syndrome.
Reply:All I can say, Is when I get sick everything hurts..
Reply:This is actually normal for some people. Especially with colds its due to the virus running its course, just like your body aching. Taking an over the counter medication like Tylenol, Advil etc. usually helps alleviate the pain.
Reply:Could be a sinus infection. Many are diagnosed by dentists. If that could possibly be the case get it checked out, because if it's bad enough to make your teeth hurt, you probably need an antibiotic.

Front teeth hurt when bite metallic substance?

2010-05-17T21:08:00.003-07:00

Howcome when I bite a metallic object or even just making contact with it with my front teeth, it gives me a really annoying feeling that makes me cringe? I can't understand the feeling, I guess in a way its painful around the teeth/gums, it's also similar to a cold feeling like as if I were biting ice. Examples would be if i where to use my front teeth to make contact with aluminum foil or maybe a coin.

Front teeth hurt when bite metallic substance?
o i know... dont bite metallic substance.
Reply:Do you have metals inside your fillings or crowns? If yes, you produce a battery by biting another metal, and current will flow. This hurts. Recommendation: substitute the metal by ceramics.
Reply:Simple.. u have sensitive teeth!!
Reply:you must change your metal fillings if they exist if not try Colgate sensitive paste for a month.

My teeth hurt almost all the time?

2010-05-17T21:08:00.002-07:00

It's usually between my jaw clicking or tensing up, and my actual teeth feeling like they're moving and just being sore. I had my wisdom teeth removed a little over a year ago so I'm doubting that could have anything to do with it, I could be wrong, however.

I also have a mouth guard that I usually use at night for grinding my teeth, but I haven't been using it as often as I still get headaches and it gives me dry mouth :( I plan to make an appointment with my dentist but I'm just wondering if anyone has an idea as to what's wrong with me? Thanks in advance.

My teeth hurt almost all the time?
talk to you're dentist and see if there's anything that could be done to help relieve the pain
Reply:Sounds to me like it definitely has to do with your jaw. I have experienced this kind of pain for over a decade. You really need to wear your mouth guard every night. I have also found that it has quite alot to do with your neck. Be careful of the positions you put your neck in. Do not use a pillow that is too flat or too puffy, etc. Seeing a chiropractor could help, mine certainly did.
Reply:Well it has to be the mouth guard. If you are not taking any teeth medications or anything the most likely reason is the mouth guard. You should check with your dentist about this because you might have some sort of reaction to the mouth guard which could be serious. Hope this helps ;)
Reply:Your grinding your teeth is probably causing your sensitivity and not wearing your guard could be making it worse. If the guard isn't comfortable take it with you to DDS %26amp; he can adjust it. It also sound like you may have TMJ (temporomandibular joint

disorder) evidenced by the clicking.

For sensitive teeth try Sensodyne or Biotene toothpaste.
Reply:i really have no idea. but i hope u get better
Reply:for some, wisdom teeth have been known to come back
Reply:Not a dental expert, but it could be the bone that holds your teeth in place maybe reseeding(however you spell the damn word,lol). Its a serious thing if not taken care of, proper brushing and flawsing are the key to pervernting it, but then again it just maybe genetics. check with your dentist, cause if it goes on unchecked you'll be the youngest person i know with false teeth.

Teeth hurt...why?

2010-05-17T21:08:00.001-07:00

When I chew on the left side of my mouth, my upper back teeth give me pain. It seems to be coming from in between two of the back teeth. Any ideas on what this may be or what I can do for it?

Teeth hurt...why?
go see your dentist, it could be your bite is off or a cavity.
Reply:um go to the dentist because you could have a cavity or something else going on.....in the mean time before u get to the dentist try some ambisol it can numb the pain for you for a little while till you get into see the dentist....that is if he/she doesnt take u right in...
Reply:you may have a cavity
Reply:It's quite possible you have a cavity. It's also possible (this has happened to me before) that a piece of food is lodged or stuck inbetween two of your teeth and that's what's giving you pain. Also, if you have had dental or other work done in your mouth recently it might just be an aftermath of that. If you haven't had any dental work done though, i would consider going to a dentist if the pain persists. Good luck!
Reply:Have you been eating any particularly sharp or hard foods? If so your gums could simply be sore. Try gently flossing between the two teeth to be sure there isn't anything lodged there. Even the tiniest food particle can sometimes cause discomfort.

If brushing and flossing does not improve the discomfort, you'll probably need to let your dentist take a look at it. It could be anything from periodontal gum disease, a decaying or abscessed tooth, or wisdom tooth trouble. Your hygenist and/or dentist should be able to get to the "root" of the problem. (Sorry for the pun...I couldn't resist.)
Reply:Thats what I had... then I went to the dentist and my bottom wisdom tooth was impacted and growing into another tooth so I wasnt able to clean the tooth properly andit has been decaying.. so I had to get that tooth pulled cus it was too far gone for a root canal and I also had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled

My teeth hurt (but it's not a dental problem...)?

2010-05-17T21:08:00.000-07:00

I've seen my dentist - she says my teeth and gums are really healthy.

She suggested that it may be nerve pain connected to Type 2 diabetes - relating to my monthly cycle. The blood flow is pulled away from my teeth and redirected to other parts of my body. Is anyone familiar with this at all? Any suggestions to what I could try?

Cloves and Sensodyne toothpaste won't work - as it isn't a tooth problem....

It's a nerve problem, I think.

And short of cutting my head off, I don't know what else to try!

Help please!

My teeth hurt (but it's not a dental problem...)?
Could be a sinus problem.
Reply:have you actually tried cutting your heead off? it might help.
Reply:Try something warm on the nerve such as a warm hot water bottle to sooth it then see a gp.
Reply:try not to eat hard foods.eat soft foods.if that doesn't help i would consult a doctor.If you need me I'm here.
Reply:As strange as it may seem it could be stress-related. Is there something, besides the tooth pain, that is bothering you? It's strange how worry can manifest itself.
Reply:a few years ago i suffered severe dental pain and was bounced back and forth between the doc and the dentist .it turned out that i was grinding my teeth whilst asleep (because of stress) and had overworked the muscles in the jaw behind my ears.as a result i had excruciating pain which felt like i had toothache and abcesses under my teeth because the pain radiates along the jaw.it is called tempero mandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome.i'm not suggesting that this is what you have but that it could be something other than problems with your teeth.all you can do is pester your doctor like i had to do until i got an answer.as for pain relief i used large doses of ibuprofen on prescription and also a hot water bottle on the affected area.good luck and i hope you resolve the problem.
Reply:I know that I was having terrible pain in my teeth and it turned out to be an ongoing sinusitis...it would be worth going to see your doc and seeing what they think.

My teeth hurt worse than anything I have ever felt in my life after Crest Whitestrips Supreme, any tips?

2010-05-17T21:07:00.003-07:00

Day 1: Two strips top and bottom for the time directed, 30 minutes each. My teeth ached the entire night and my gums were swollen. I know the bleach is stronger than the whitestrips you can buy in the store (Supreme can only be purchased from a dentist), but this kills! I don't know if I will make it the 21 days that the kit offeres with this stronger bleach.

Any tips besides sensitive tooth toothpaste and Act mouthwash to fill in areas of my teeth?

On the plus side, there are noticible results after just that one day with this stronger kit! Normallly I don't see results like this until day 3 of the Premium strips. I only do these once a year by the way just to brighten up my smile a bit, and I see my dentist twice a year for cleanings :)

The directions say that I can skip a couple of applications but that I should use all the strips in as close to 21 days as possible... so stopping until the pain goes away or wearing them every other day really won't work.

My teeth hurt worse than anything I have ever felt in my life after Crest Whitestrips Supreme, any tips?
as they say.. no pain - no gain. but see the dentist for advice just to make sure that the bleach is not too strong for ur teeth, or too irritating on ur gums.
Reply:YEAH I STOPPED USING THOSE CAUSE THEY HURT REALLY REALLY BAD. BUT THEY TEND TO HURT WORSE ON THE BOTTOM TEETH, SO I JUST PUT THEM ON THE TOP ONES FOR A WHILE =)
Reply:You could try asking your dentist for fluoride gel. It might be stronger than Act. I know what you mean though, it hurts! Definitely try using them every other day.
Reply:i would stop using them. I have crest whitestrips, and they bothered my teeth a bit but they didn't swell my gums. I know crest offers a hotline for the whitestrips, and if you call who knows, you might be able to get a refund while your at it. But be careful, you could have an allergic reaction.
Reply:I REALLY suggest you go to dentist!!!!!!

Teeth hurt from braces?

2010-05-17T21:07:00.002-07:00

i just got a bunch of that orthondic treatment today. my orthodontist reshaped my teeth and put on braces at the bottom. two of my back teeth are "falling inwards" so he has to put those molar bands on those as well as my back molars to pull them up and im in terrible pain. ive taken an advil and tried to get some rest but nothing works. anyone have any suggestions? please and thank you :(

Teeth hurt from braces?
not a great answer... BUT

be happy your mom didn't try to make you feel better by making your favorite food - CORN ON THE COB!

I swear to god, my mom did this at least 4 times (in the 2 years I wore them) on the day I had my braces tightened.

I know it doesn't help alot, but maybe it'll bring a smile to your face (ouch! unless that hurts too)

You're definitely NOT alone in your grief/pain! This too shall pass?!?!!?

P.S. ;If not better tomorrow, call and ask for a prescription pain pill.
Reply:take another advil.

put something cold around your mouth.

take a sleeping pill

you need to sleep through the pain

if it's not too bad try changing your mind, like watching tv or read a book
Reply:lorotabs
Reply:try taking a regular doseage of ibuprofin like clockwork, every 6 hours, or as the package states. try placing a damp cloth in the freezer and just lightly chewing on it. i know it sounds childlike, but all i wanted to do was bite down really hard on something when i had braces. the pain and discomfort WILL go away after a few days. also try taking a pain reliever with a sleep aid for night time, youll need something to help you sleep through the night. good luck and i hope you feel better.

Why do my teeth hurt 1 year after having braces removed?

2010-05-17T21:07:00.001-07:00

I had braces for 18 months to fix an overbite, overcrowded teeth. I had 4 adult teeth removed so there would be space for my other teeth to move back, fixing the overbite. It has now been a year since I had my braces removed and I'm experiencing alot of ache and pain in my front teeth upper and lower, because thats where I had an overbite, it's as if my teeth are trying to go back out of place, back to the overbite. When I put my retainers on, the pain usually goes away. If I leave my retainers out for more than 15 minutes they will start aching really bad. I am so tired of this, I want to be able to go out without having to wear a retainer, it's not fair, I thought I was going to having no trouble after braces, but look, I probably would have been better off not getting my teeth fixed at all, then I wouldn't be in so much pain. It's REALLY annoying! If anyone out there has or had this problem please tell me your story %26amp; advice %26amp; If anyone else has an idea whats wrong, plz hlp!!

Reply:probably Bruxism

Bruxism is the medical term for grinding, gnashing or clenching your teeth. This condition affects both kids and adults.

Some people with bruxism unconsciously clench their teeth together during the day, often when they feel anxious or tense. Most kids who have bruxism — and some adults with the condition — grind or gnash their teeth during sleep, usually in the early part of the night. This is called sleep bruxism.
Reply:Sounds like you have a root canal.

Don't feel guilty- alot of times it doesn't have an effect on the way that youv'e taken care of your teeth- it's more having to do with the nerve endings coming up from the gums and into the teeth.

Basically the dead nerve tissue is removed and filled in .

Good Luck.

Yeah, unfortunately they will hurt for awhile, until you get used to it. They will hurt a bit after tightenings too.

Try eating mashed up popsicles or nearly frozen applesauce to numb your gums a bit. Advil or Ibuprofen also works better than Tylenol.

How bad does getting your wisdom teeth pulled hurt?

2010-05-17T21:06:00.001-07:00

my wisdom teeth have been growing in for the past year or so and i have no clue when i'm getting them taken out. i know that it'll hurt, but how bad?

How bad does getting your wisdom teeth pulled hurt?
not that bad if the dentist gives u lots of drugs to make u feel better!!!
Reply:that got best answer? Report It

Reply:its not bad at all. you'll feel tired and doped up when you wake up after surgery, but if you ice it regularly, you'll be on your feet and eating in a day or two..
Reply:They put you under with anesthesia and take em out, then you are on pain killers for a few days, its not that bad. You have to stay away from any hard food for a while, though.
Reply:if they dont hurt ask to hold off my dad is 55 and he still has his because they never gave him any trouble so they dont always need to be taken out
Reply:It was not as bad as I thought it would be, it was the recovery that was a little painful, they gave me some pretty awesome painpills and I just took care of it as the dentist instructed and in 2 weeks, I was back to eating and drinking like usual.

My only suggestion is to follow the dentist's instructions very carefully and change your gauze frequently, it is quite easy to get an infection or dry socket.
Reply:Usually they knock you out and it doesn't hurt at all.
Reply:well they pu me asleep so i didnt hurt at all. bu afterwords it kinda hurt but i got somr meds which helped

welcome

ps. your cheeks will puff up.a LOT
Reply:its horrible..i couldnt eat for a few days on that side
Reply:Not bad at all. It depends if they are impacted or not on how it is done. I needed an oral surgeon to do mine and I got put under and it was over just like that. In the end it was nothing more than a minor discomfort and an excuse to gobble pain pills.
Reply:when the time comes for the wisdom tooth to come out, they will at first inject the area with numbing medicine and then after wards will a prescription for pain meds. Take these as directed and you will have minimal pain. The problem is with swelling, they will also tell you to use something cold, use as you are told and you will do ok.
Reply:It isn't really that bad, it's just most people's first surgery, so they get dramatic about it. You won't want to do much for the rest of the day (they'll give you painkillers, and if you use them and take it easy, it won't be too painful)--you'll barely notice pain the next day.

There can be complications, but these are usually just annoying, not super painful.

Don't wait too long, especially if you have straight teeth--wisdom teeth will jam your teeth together and undo all that work that braces did.
Reply:It's not so bad. They will give you pain killers and Ibprophen if you do have pain. Just don't do anything that they tell you not to do like smoke or suck through a straw, those things will cause dry socket (when the blood clot detaches and you have an exposed nerve). Those hurt like hell.
Reply:Since they are not impacted, the extractions will be much easier. I had all 4 removed at once (when I was in my twenties) and it seemed very minor compared to the horror stories I heard from people prior to having them out myself.

I did not have any pain and I took only Tylenol for two days after.

Good luck and don't be scared - it's not that bad!
Reply:It's not alway necessary to have them pulled. If they are causing structural damage to your jaw or face or they are impacted or abcessed then have them removed. I'm almost 40 and just had the upper 2 removed as I wasn't able to brush them or floss properly and they were irritating my gums. I only had local anesthesia and my regular dentist did the extraction not an oral surgeon. That part didn't hurt, it hurt when it wore off and for 3 days after it wasn't that comfortable and I had to eat soft food. Other than that, it wasn't as painful as labor and delivery.
Reply:it doesnt feel bad at all, the only discomfort was the anesthetic felt like a weird pain when they put it in. It is a quick procedure and painless. Afterwards, you will bleed alot for a while, get some vicodin and some antibacterial pills. The pain the next following days aren't bad, but just annoying pain. Idk about everyone else, but later that same day, i was able to eat hard food. You have to learn how to not eat as much on the sides however, cause the food loves to get stuck in the hole where your wisdom teeth used to be.
Reply:Getting them pulled out does not hurt- if the dentist uses a local-you'll feel a painful pinch for a moniute, if he uses a general anesthesia you won't feel any pain, IF it is a "twilight" sleep cocktail injection you might even enjoy it.

However, for several days afterwards you will experience some degree of pain. The dentist should provide pain meds to alleviate this-it seems scary I know but it is not that bad-it is the fear that is the worst, just talk to yourself about calming down, mediate, daydream etc and you should be fine

God Luck

Reply:Well, that depends. If you have the option of getting general anethesia, take it. When I had mine out, I was put under general anesthesia, and it was a breeze. I went in, and the doctor gave me nitrous oxide (the laughing gas) whil he put in the IV. Then he told me he was going to give me the medication (Demerol and Valium). He injected it into the IV, I had time to think to myself, "Wow, this feels GOOD!" and then the doctor was waking me up and telling me it was over. I slept most of the rest of the day, waking up only to take my pain medication. They will give you something strong for the pain afterward (I was given Mepergan). Be sure to take it at the first sign of pain or it won't work as well. The doctor recommended taking it immediately when I got home, before the novacaine wore off, to prevent the pain before it started. Don't drink anything carbonated or drink through a straw for the first 2-4 days so that the area has time to make a clot, otherwise you'll get a dry socket (I did), which is unbearably painful. Other than that, sleeping with your head elevated and using ice packs will prevent swelling, and eating soft foods that you don't have to chew is advisable for about a week or so. It's really not bad at all if you get put under. Good luck!

How long after getting a retainer does it hurt your teeth? Or does it hurt the entire time you have them?

2010-05-17T21:06:00.000-07:00

I just got a retainer yesterday and it hurts like crazy when i take it off or put it on. my teeth also hurt when i eat and brush and floss. will i be in pain the entire time i have to wear this thing?

How long after getting a retainer does it hurt your teeth? Or does it hurt the entire time you have them?
Don't worry the pain goes away within a couple of days. Try to eat soft foods and brush gently. Warm and cold foods helped me ALOT! Before you know it you won't even remember the pain.
Reply:It only hurts at first. Is it removable? Because then you take it out to eat.
Reply:You take it off when you brush and eat, y'know.

It'll hurt for a few days, but when you take it off, put your fingers down on the little hooks (top part) and push straight down.
Reply:No. I have a retainer, and after a couple of days or so, your teeth are going to get used to the retainer and fit its shape. Soon all you'll have to do is slip it on, you won't feel a thing in no time.
Reply:i had the same problem but dont worry it only hurts for a couple of days but thats if you wear them all of the time. If you do then your teeth will get used to it and the pain will go away.

just wear your retainers!

its been a month now and my teeth dont hurt anymore with my retainers on :]

Does getting your wisdom teeth pulled hurt??

2010-05-17T21:05:00.003-07:00

I have to get my wisdom teeth pulled and I'm not getting put to sleep...so does it hurt?????

Does getting your wisdom teeth pulled hurt??
None of this is going to make it any easier. But you will be fine, over before you know it.
Reply:Not as bad as they will if you don't get them pulled...
Reply:You can feel the pressure..but the pain will be worse after the medicine wears off, but if you take the pain meds you will be fine.
Reply:Not really just some pressure is all. Good luck you'll be fine.
Reply:Yes it does without anesthesia.
Reply:Well, yes. I got put to sleep. Guess it was too painful. You can't feel anything if you are asleep..*Obviously* But that *After-Pain*...Ouch.
Reply:Yes it hurts like hell!

Take some motrin or extra strength tylenol an hour before you go to the dentist.

You'll be pretty numbed up but it usually hurts afterwards.
Reply:every person is different. some ppl dont feel that much pain, others feel like they're being killed. there's no way u could know which 1 u are..... thats why i dont want 2 remove mine!
Reply:Nope, it will be painless since you'll be numb. Make sure you get enough vicodin to enjoy the days after :)
Reply:The process doesn't - even if you're awake, they will drug the bejesus out of you. You will be sore and look like a chipmunk for a few days though.
Reply:I heard that it does hurt but its nothing a little pain meds won't cure!!%26lt;3 You'lle be fine!!
Reply:I had one that was grown in all the way...that barely hurt at all...I was so glad just for it to be out...good luck...
Reply:Not too bad. Its uncomfortable but with local antistetic its ok. Getting them extracted without any antistetic is terrible. I did that once. as long as they come out in one peice your ok but if they have to cut and dig, you will wish you had been knocked out.
Reply:Mine hurt. All I got pulled was one. It was absessed. So painful I had a light stroke. The dentist didn't know it was absessed though. That is the most pain I have ever felt in my life. They shouldn't hurt that much.
Reply:NO. But if it's any consolation it does hurt some afterwards (but it's not too bad) but they give you good pain meds! Watch out for dry socket its a *****! Remember: leaving them in there would be worse.

When they pull them, you can hear a POP when they come out. If you relax it's kinda funny LOL or maybe I'm just strange.

My jaws didn't swell like they said they would either. If you're sensitive to aspirin or ibuprofen, they could cause dry socket just as easily as smoking can.
Reply:if theyre full of cavities theyll really hurt if you dont get them pulled out and it will hurt a little but to avoid any pain i would ask for a shot of novicaine,your awake,but the gums are deadened so you cant feel anything.
Reply:Oh getting them pulled is a walk in the park, it's the empty sockets that hurt.
Reply:I got my 4 wisdom teeth pulled out when I was 13. I didn't request any meds or music. They numbed my mouth though, but I do remember it hurt. I squirmed a bit in the chair, but I didn't scream or cry. I knew once it was over, the pain would subside. Oh, you may bleed in the mouth afterwards. Just don't move around as much. Take some aspirin, and you'll be fine.
Reply:It will at first, but the pain will go away.

Can Lemons dissolve the enamel on my teeth or hurt my teeth in any other way?

2010-05-17T21:05:00.002-07:00

I ate a half of a lemon and after I ate it, my lower front teeth started to hurt bad. I was wondering if it was the lemon that hurt me and if there is any way that i can help my tooth to feel better?

Can Lemons dissolve the enamel on my teeth or hurt my teeth in any other way?
ok. first of all there is more enamel-eroding sugur in a single lemon than a two litre botlle of coca cola!

all you need to do is use a enamel repairing toothpaste regularly eg: arm%26amp;hammer enamel care or sensodine pronamel

and dont eat them too much!!!! xxx
Reply:eating lemons is bad for your teeth!!
Reply:The citrus in the Lemon may have aggravated something that was already there to begin with
Reply:The citric acid in lemons can indeed chemically erode your enamel. Best not make eating lemons a habit.
Reply:anything ascetic can dissolve enamel, that includes our beloved Pepsi
Reply:I knew a girl that ate lemons all of the time and it actually ate away the enamel and the tooth itself. This was over a period of time but it proves that lemons do have an affect on your teeth. She eventually had to get porcelain veneers because her two front teeth were so damaged.......and downright ugly! The sensitivity your experiencing should wear away eventually, I would think.
Reply:lemons are really acidic. your teeth must be super sensitive for that to happen. i eat lemons once in a while and i don't have that problem. In some contries in asia (and probably other places too) people suck on lemons and their teeth deteriorate very quickly. you shouldn't eat lemons again
Reply:Lemon juice in your food is not bad but just plain eating a lemon (like biting into it) is not good for your teeth. The lemon juice breaks down the enamal because of the acid in it. The lemon juice probably aggravated something that was all ready there like a cavity or something. You should contact your dentist about this.
Reply:Yes, lemons are bad for your teeth!! Although this may be why your teeth hurt, it wont effect u long term (unless u keep sucking on lemons lol) . happy 4th!!

Does getting your wisdom teeth removed hurt?
What Happens During the Procedure?

Before your wisdom tooth is extracted, the tooth and the surrounding tissue will be numbed with a local anesthetic – the same injection with the same medication you would receive to numb a tooth prior to having a cavity filled. In addition to the local anesthetic to numb the pain, you and your dentist or oral surgeon may decide that a sedative is desired to control your anxiety. Sedating medications that could be selected include: nitrous oxide (otherwise known as "laughing gas"), an oral sedative (for example, Valium), or an intravenous sedative (administered via an injection into your veins). If nitrous oxide is given, you will be able to drive yourself home. If any of the other medications is selected, you will need someone to drive you both to and from the appointment in which your tooth will be extracted.

What Does Recovery Involve?

How quickly you heal depends on the degree of difficulty of the extraction (a simple extraction of a fully erupted tooth versus a tooth impacted into the jawbone). In general, here's what to expect.

During the first 24 hours

Bleeding may occur for several hours after tooth extraction. To control it, position a piece of clean moist gauze over the empty tooth socket and bite down firmly. Apply constant pressure for about 45 minutes. A moistened tea bag is an effective alternative. The tannic acid in tea helps healing blood clots to form (blood clots function similarly to a scab on an open wound). Repeat this process if a small degree of bleeding continues; if heavy bleeding continues to occur, contact your dentist or oral surgeon. Avoid rinsing or spitting for 24 hours after tooth extraction, avoid "sucking" actions (for example, don't drink beverages through straws or smoke) and avoid hot liquids (such as coffee or soup). These activities can dislodge the clot, causing dry socket (see below) to develop.

Facial swelling in the area where the tooth was extracted typically occurs. To minimize swelling, place a piece of ice, wrapped in a cloth, on that area of your face on a schedule of 10-minutes on, followed by 20-minutes off. Repeat as necessary during this first 24-hour period.

Pain medications, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) can be taken for minor pain. Your dentist or oral surgeon may prescribe more potent pain relievers, such as narcotics, if necessary.

Antibiotics that may have been prescribed prior to tooth extraction (to treat any active infection around the wisdom tooth to be extracted) should continue to be taken until the full prescription is gone.

Foods should be chewed on the side of the mouth opposite the extraction. Avoid hot liquids and alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours. In the case of difficult extractions, consume a soft or liquid diet for the first 24 hours.

Continue to brush your teeth, but avoid the teeth directly neighboring the extracted tooth during the first 24 hours. On day two, resume the gentle brushing of your teeth. Do not use commercial mouth rinses - these can irritate the extraction site.

Facial swelling in the area of the tooth extraction should be treated with heat after the first 24 hours of ice. Apply a moist warm towel to the area on a 20-minute on, 20-minute off schedule. Repeat as necessary.

Rinse your mouth with warm salt water (1/2 teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water) after meals and before bed. Do not use commercial mouth rinses.

Stitches, if used and if not of the self-dissolving type, need to be removed by your oral health care provider in about 1 week. If you do require stitches, ask what type you have been given.

Watch for signs of dry socket (described below). This condition requires treatment by your oral health care provider.

Complete healing doesn't occur for a few weeks to a few months following the extraction. However, usually within the first week or two, enough healing has taken place for use of your mouth to be reasonably comfortable in the area of the extraction.

Your dentist will explain what to expect in your specific case.

What Are Potential Complications?

Two of the more important complications include:

Dry socket. Dry socket is a common complication that occurs when either a blood clot has failed to form in the extracted tooth socket or else the blood clot that did form has been dislodged. Without clot formation, healing will be delayed. When it happens, dry socket typically occurs 3 or 4 days following the extraction and is accompanied by pain (ranging from "dull" to moderate to severe) and a foul mouth odor. Your dentist or oral surgeon will treat the dry socket by placing a medicated dressing in the socket. Dressing will need to be removed and replaced every 24 hours until symptoms subside.

Paresthesia. Paresthesia is a less frequently occurring complication. Wisdom teeth entrapped in the jawbone are often close to nerves. Sometimes these nerves can be bruised or damaged during the tooth removal process. The result is a numbness (called a paresthesia) of the tongue, lip or chin that can last a few days, weeks, months or may even be permanent.
Reply:no they didnt hurt i didnt feel a thing! actually they took them out of the gum before they emerged which probably enduces more pain. they load you up on pain killers afterwards so its fine. you will get chipmunk cheeks for 1-2 wks though :] keep icing them and using a heating pad; repeat that process constantly. whatever you can get in your mouth is fine as long as your careful. it's really hard to open your mouth wide at first. hope this helped!
Reply:Getting your wisdom teeth out is actually not a big deal at all. I got mine removed last year and they give you painkillers so you're not in too much pain. You are also not out for that long, I left the doctor's office about an hour and a half after I came in.

The swelling is pretty bad, and I didn't want anyone to see me for a while, but really the whole thing wasn't so horrible.

Make sure not to smoke or use straws for about a week after, or you could get dry sockets like I did, which is painful, but they can make fix that too if it happens.

Also, the mouth wash they give you to keep your mouth clean only use for a week or two, because it actually stains your teeth.
Reply:I had all 4 of mine taken out 2 years ago too. As long as they give you a general anesthesia, you will be asleep and not feel a thing. You will be able to eat things like jello, pudding, smoothies, soup, etc within 24 hours. The pain should not be too bad(they will give you pain pills). If you get Dry socket, it is painful though but most people won't have any problems with that. Good luck to you and don't worry.
Reply:i got 2 of mine pulled in 1950. it didnt hurt after they numbed it. i went dancing that night
Reply:shouldn't be that bad if your dentist is good. just have to give your mouth time to heal afterwards. good luck.
Reply:Hello!

I had a very similar situation my mouth is really tiny and my teeth were huge and still under my gums...I got them taken out on a wednesday and was back on school on the tuesday after. the actual pain was not bad at all, just the swelling was. I was back to my notmal size about a week after. Good luck, you have nothing to worry about!:)

Does getting teeth pulled hurt?

2010-05-17T21:05:00.000-07:00

im only 12 and i have to get braces SOON and so the orthodontist said that i have to get 4 baby teeth pulled and im just scared because i hate needles does it really hurt that bad?

help!!!

Does getting teeth pulled hurt?
As a dentist myself I can assure you that you have nothing to worry about. Your dentist will give you an injection of Lidocaine in your gums that will block the nerve from feeling pain. The shot only feels like a small pinch and its over before you even know it. The only thing you will feel during the extraction is some pressure as your dentist pulls and pushes to loosen your tooth. Good luck and don't worry, you will be just fine!
Reply:It depends, on your doctor I mean. My doctor is gentle, and he gives me laughing gas. Ha, it actually works. I had 2 teeth pulled and it didn't hurt one bit. I wish you Good Luck. Report It

Reply:Don't be scared. It's not gonna hurt that bad as long as your ortho knows what he's doing.

You may feel a tickling sensation but afterwards you'll be numb as hell boy.
Reply:Nope, they will numb you and you may feel pressure, but no pain what so ever. I had to have 1 of my back teeth pulled and it didn't even hurt. I just felt a bit of pressure in the gum area and then I actually felt a heep of relief after the tooth was gone. (It felt soooooo much better!)

When I got home I had a perscription pain reliever, and I took one as soon as I got home because I was scared of pain, but when I woke up the next morning and felt a small bit of pain where the tooth was and in my jaw, but it wasn't overbearing enough to take a pain pill.

Don't worry, you'll be just fine, and I swear, it won't be bad at all. You can have them give you "Gas" (Just ask for gas and they'll know what you mean.) and that will help ease your nerves also.
Reply:The dentist will make sure it doesn't hurt while getting them extracted, and it helps that they are baby teeth, they do not have roots to hurt.

daAnswer ... You just said H*** to a 12 year old. Not nice :)
Reply:he will put numbing stuff on it to make it hurt less

or maybe laughing gass
Reply:yes
Reply:Yes! Yes! It definitely does hurt. But that's just a tiny little price you have to pay for vanity. Guess, it's worth it! Pretty teeth from now on ;D
Reply:noppee, especially if their baby teeth, it wont hurt. they will numb you first, you'll feel pulling, but you wont feel any pain.

if you had to get adult teeth pulled, yes, it would hurt a lot more, because those are the teeth your stuck with for your life, but since their your baby teeth,you were going to loose them anyway, so it wont hurt as bad.

i had a reallyy ugly rotten tooth when i was younger(like around the age of 4). and i had to get it pulled, but it didnt hurt at all..they will numb you so dont worry about it=]

good luck!
Reply:nope doesn't hurt at all... they numb your gums before they stick you with the needle... it always helps me to close my eyes so I don't see it coming. if you see the needle that makes it worse. you will be fine
Reply:the truth is yes it can hurt. and some doctors act like they really don't care because it isn't hurting them.

the secret is when you get into the chair and the doctor comes in , ask to please have the gum numbed with gel so the needle won't hurt.

pain is relative some people seem to feel it more than others. i know a lady who has had teeth pulled and root canals done with no form of pain relief.

.
Reply:The only thing that hurts is the shot of novocaine they give you before. But if they give you happy gas before that, you'll be too high to care.
Reply:I had to get 2 teeth pulled out before i got my braces on to and i was terrified but i promise you it does not hurt one but the needle feels like he is pushing on your gum and that is it dont worry aanymore i promise you its fine and my teth were baby teeth and he said one of them was the hardest tooth he has ever had to get out and that didnt hurt dont worry any longer i promise
Reply:It all depends on the dentist.
Reply:Not at all! I had my tooth pulled right before I got my braces and I was also worried. They give one little shot that you can't feel at all. The worst part is after, because your mouth is sensitive just eat soft foods like Jello

Does it hurt really bad to get your wisdom teeth taken out???

2010-05-17T21:04:00.003-07:00

I might have to have mine removed. Is there a lot of swelling? I've had a tooth pulled before, i was put to sleep, and it didn't hurt much...will having the wisdom teeth pulled hurt?

Does it hurt really bad to get your wisdom teeth taken out???
NO!!!!!!!

Its fine!!

YOu have choice to either

1. Put to sleep (best way please do this!!)

2. Be sedated (half awake)

3. Frozen with needles (why feel the pain go to sleep!)

When you wake up you feel it a bit but its not that bad. You will feel it the next 2 days and be SWOLLEN liek a chipmunk sometimes.

But it goes away its not bad,
Reply:not really if you have anesthesia
Reply:idk.. ive seen my friend get a few pulled and her cheeks were swollen for a little bit.

my ortho said i need mine taken out so i wanna know too!
Reply:Yes. It's a big surgical procedure to have your wisdom teeth pulled out and you're put under.

Give yourself at least a week for recovery from the swelling.

Hang in there. It may not be easy but you'll get through this.
Reply:No. I got mine out last week and it was slightly uncomfortable, but the pain itself was minimal. just be sure to listen to your dentist's instructions about cleaning the area to prevent dry socket which can be extremely painful.
Reply:It matters how high your tolerance for pain is. There shouldn't be much swelling. I had all four of mine pulled and the only one that gave me problems, was the one that rooted itself into my jaw bone. It took the dentist three hours to get it out! Good luck!
Reply:no, just a little sore afterwards.

You won't feel the procedure since you will most likely be put to sleep and the pain afterwards is just a mildly moderate sore feeling. They will most likely give you a painkiller afterwards like vicodin or something like that but I didn't use it when I got my wisdom teeth taken out.

Overall, it is really not that bad.
Reply:I hope not! I'm 15 and at my last dentist appointment, I was told I'll have to have my wisdom tooth pulled. I'm a little nervous, I remember when my mom got her's pulled. Her cheeks we swollen and she vomited a lot (I have no idea why)!!!
Reply:Depends on the person. I didnt have any swelling but it was sore a few days ,but my sister on the other hand had very bad swelling.
Reply:I had my taken out a few years ago. They numbed the area and worked on it so it didn't hurt. I guess the worst part was being able to watch and hear some of what was going on since I wasn't put out. It wasn't too bad though and I got them all out at the same time. Afterwards, my face was swollen for about a good week and was sensitive. It didn't hurt too bad and I didn't even really need to take any pain medication afterwards. The only think that sucked was eatting because I couldn't open my mouth the whole way.
Reply:It would depend on how many problems you've had with them. Almost everyone has them removed. I would suggest getting it done ASAP. Don't wait til you have bigger problems. It's surgery. There are natural problems with any surgery, but waiting could result in much more pain. Have it done on Friday so you can recoup over the weekend. Good luck.
Reply:Some soreness after the anesthesia wears off, but not bad.

They will usually give you pain medication to take as needed and recommend you to use ice for the swelling.

I had all four removed at once when I was 19. I just remember afterwards only being able to eat soft foods/liquids for a while. By the end of the week, I didn't even want to look at any more soup or pasta!!
Reply:I had to have mine surgically removed because they were so badly impacted, and honestly it hurt worse having them in than it did having them out! I slept the rest of the first day, and the next day I went to the mall and had my nails done, I was just a little uncomfortable. Just the most important thing is make sure you do your warm salt rinse!! It breaks down the food that gets stuck in the sockets, and not only makes your breath better, but then you don't have your dentist/ surgeon digging in there to clean the food out..it tastes gross but is oh so worth it!!

What causes my bottom back teeth to hurt SO much after drinking certain alcohol?

2010-05-17T21:04:00.002-07:00

What causes my bottom back teeth to hurt SO much after drinking certain alcohol?

I have realized that when I drink tequila or smirnoff-type girly beers, my bottom teeth will hurt for the next week! They only hurt when the toothbrush touches them, or when I try to eat something hard like a chip or pretzel. Ow!

Always have a good dental review. So why does this happen?

Thank you!

What causes my bottom back teeth to hurt SO much after drinking certain alcohol?
Recession would be my best guess, especially if your DDS has given you a clean bill of health. If you are fastidious brusher you may notice the gum area alittle pulled away next to the gumline. Why certain beverages bother your teeth and others don't is anyone's guess. Make sure you have a soft toothbrush and if you continue to have an increase sensitivity, ask your dentist about possibly having a fluoride treatment - fluoride decreases sensitivity in some cases, or you can try some of the sensitive toothpastes on the market, Sensodyne is the best so far
Reply:They could hurt due to sweetness of the drink or coldness of it,This usually happens when u have a root surface exposed, in a more serious situation u may have a crack in one of the cusps on the tooth. See Ur Dentist to have it checked.

Does getting your wisdom teeth pulled hurt a lot ?

2010-05-17T21:04:00.001-07:00

i'm 16 and my wisdom teeth are coming in :( i have to get them pulled cause i dont have enough room for them. i already had a couple of molars pulled out before and it didnt hurt all that badly afterwards - the pain meds worked pretty well. i'm just worried about the wisdom teeth cause i heard u can get something called dry sockets.....so yah, how much does it hurt would you say? are dry sockets painful? (if you have experienced them....)

Does getting your wisdom teeth pulled hurt a lot ?
My teeth were embedded in my jaw so they had to drill into my jaw bone. I was asleep though all of this so I didn't feel a thing. Afterwards I was a little sore, but not too bad.

Dry sockets are rare, the doctor will tell you how to prevent them.

Good luck!
Reply:For most,it'll just be another dental procedure. Not a lot of fun, but no big deal. Mine were no problem!
Reply:That's a worse case scenario. Expect what you experienced before
Reply:The process won't be painful because hopefully you get to sleep through it. Afterward, it is painful, but the meds will help. You can also expect to lose some weight because you won't be hungry nor will you be able to eat much solid foods.
Reply:USUALLY NOT ANY MORE PAINFUL THAN FOR ANY OTHER TOOTH.
Reply:no but allow a week to recover, and your cheeks will be puffy
Reply:It was a little sore and you can't eat solid food for a couple days to a week depending on how fast you heal. Avoid doing anything they tell you not to do though (smoking, sucking through a straw) because that will cause dry sockets (which is when the blood clot getts sucked out so you have exposed nerves, i'm sure you can imagine how much that hurts). They should give you some pain medicine which will help with the soreness.
Reply:It shouldn't hurt after the anaesthetic, but you may be uncomfortable if your teeth dont want to let go, and the nurse needs to hold your head still while the dentist tugs away. If you get the option, i suggest going into hospital to be knocked out for the procedure, unless your dentistry provides this. Good luck :)
Reply:Getting your wisdom teeth pulled really isn't that bad as some people say it is. I just got 2 of mine pulled and it was not bad at all. And I don't like dr's or needles. It has now been five days and it is going well. Both of mine were inpacked which really sucks. But you will be fine just follow the dr's instructions. Hope this helps and good luck.
Reply:The surgery isn't too bad in itself but the third day is the hardest. I got my wisdom teeth removed last week and it wasn't pretty. I did get a dry socket and I'm still on narcotics now because of the after-math of them. It is by far the most painful experience if you get dry sockets, and I got acl reconstruction surgery from a sports injury last year! But dry sockets are rare and you should be fine. The pain meds work but remember to take some type of stool softener before you take them I'm not trying to be grosse but you will get constipated on them. Its not a matter of you might, you most def will. Drink a lot of water and keep your bowels loose. I hope things go well for you. Good luck

Wisdom teeth still hurt?

2010-05-17T21:03:00.003-07:00

i got my wisdom teeth cut out about two weeks ago and some days i wake up and i forgot i had it done and i feel completely heeled and others i get up and they throb and ache and they feel like brusies and are really sensitive. could i have an infection in my holes or is it normal to still hurt?

Wisdom teeth still hurt?
Its expected to be like this for sometime after. For me I had all 4 remove at one appointment. It took 1 week for me to be able to do anything like work, or driving. I was knocked out with drugs. But I still felt some pain and discomfort for a month afterwards.
Reply:Did the dentist tell you how to rinse and when? After 2 wks, you should not have any problelms, Call the dentist and explain to him.
Reply:after 2 weeks they shouldnt hurt. go to yr doctor for some medication it does sound like infection.

Do teeth extractions hurt? How about the initial numbing?

2010-05-17T21:03:00.002-07:00

On Monday I'm going in to get four teeth extracted, and I've never had this procedure done before.

I was wondering how bad does it hurt?

How about the numbing part, with the needle and all?

Do teeth extractions hurt? How about the initial numbing?
ask them to put you to sleep, you won't fell no pain til afterwards
Reply:They might do 2 teeth on monday and 2 teeth another time for you...the only thing that 'hurts' when they put the needle in your gum. When they accualy pull your teeth, you don't feel a thing.
Reply:After having six teeth extracted because my mouth was overcrowded, I can say that the actual extraction process doesn't hurt at all. The numbing injection is just a tiny sting, it actually hurts less than one in your arm, although it hurts a little bit more if it's on the bottom jaw.

Good luck!
Reply:The needle will feel like a pinch or a bit harder than a pinch. You won't feel any pain while it is being extracted. But after the numbness wears off you are going to have pain in that area and it does hurt. I say give yourself Monday and Tuesday off so you can take asprin and sleep it off. It is going to feel like a really bad toothache.
Reply:its not much painfull. dentist will give an injection in your gums to make teeth and gums numb and then will extract teeth.

but after extration of teeth use liquid food mostly.
Reply:I had 2 needles in the roof of my mouth when he extracted 2 of my top teeth. That was the worst part.
Reply:be brave and take it like a man .. or a woman. and no it doesn't hurt. there's just a liitle sting with the needle but you'll get over that. and just think of this if they really need pulled then you're better off. i mean after all you must have a rreason for getting them jerked out ... right?
Reply:Don't worry at all. Enjoy the ride. You will be good and doped up for the day. When you wake up and the meds wear off you will be puffy like a chipmunk for about a week. Keep some applesauce, pudding, soup, etc. ready. Your mouth will be very tender for a few days and it may be hard to sleep. However the Dr. should prescribe something to ease your pain. Just don't get hooked on the stuff.
Reply:YES it does hurt i'm not kidding i had 4 of my teeth extracted eat before u have ur teeth extracted cuzz u cant eat the whole day when ur bleeding like crazy
Reply:yeah i agree with mcr luver the needle is the worst part and that barely hurts.

have fun!
Reply:Well, according to my brother (who had this done a month ago), it didn't hurt him at all. They deadened his whole face up practically, took a little pair of padded plier-looking things, reached in, wiggled his head a bit, and the tooth popped out nerve and all. I've heard from other friends as well that it didn't hurt them either. I guess it all depends on your pain tolerance level. Good luck!

Do wisdom teeth really hurt that bad?

2010-05-17T21:03:00.001-07:00

Do wisdom teeth really hurt that bad? My dentist is removing one tomorrow and he is going to see how I do with it and after his vacation he will take out the rest. I have heard it hurts really bad my parents told me I would cry lol!

Anyways I am having them pulled out under (laughing gas) I decided this instead of going to a surgeon. Will it be really bad and will I feel alot?

Do wisdom teeth really hurt that bad?
The pain you experience after extracting any molars or pre-molars will depend on your tolerance for pain ...and more importantly, the shape of the roots of the teeth to be extracted. Humans beings wisdom teeth are slowly being devolved out of existance. Ours skulls and jaws have gotten smaller over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution …and now-a-days many people have underdeveloped wisdom teeth, which is good if you’re having them taken out.

The roots of my wisdom teeth only developed as a single root and when I had them pulled (I only had 3 to start with) I went back to work in the afternoon that same day. I was lucky, as these roots can also be spread out and are much more difficult to remove. You can ask your dentist to see your x-rays and hope your roots are more pointed or cone shaped.

The good news is, is that you won't feel a thing while the tooth is being pulled ...and all you can do after, is take your pain killers and rinse a lot with mildly salty warm water. You will be fine in no time ...remember most people have this done

I spent 15 years as a dental ceramist!
Reply:the worst part will be the drive from the dentist office to the pharmacy to get your painkillers (take them). Then you will be extremely tired and sleep through it
Reply:It depends on your ability to handle pain. They are sore for a few days, but mine did not hurt that bad. Hopefully they will give you lots of pain killers, they help a lot. Good luck!!
Reply:Well I have had my teeth pulled and it really doesnt hurt. It hurts more to have them in. I had perfect straight teeth and now my wisdom teeth came in and they are getting pushed together. It is so painful that I can hardly eat at times. So my best advice is to get them all out and really take care of them so that you dont get air sockets because then that really is going to hurt. I think you have to get all new stitches in your gums and they have to clean the area as well.. So good luck and be brave!!!
Reply:No, it won't hurt at all during the actual extraction, or very little. The Doc will hit you up with a local as well as the laughing gas. Doing one at a time is the way to go. I had all four pulled by a military dentist. The extraction went fine, but I burnt the snot out of my mouth afterward. I was still numbed up from the local, and the hospital staff served me soup for lunch. I had fasted from the night before, so I was rather hungry. I slurped down the soup with no problem. Four hours later I was in dying from the pain, not from the wisdom teeth surgery, but from the soup after-wards that was probably near the temperature of the corona of the sun. The roof of your mouth was not meant to peel flesh!! Mine sure did!

Does getting baby teeth pulled hurt?

2010-05-17T21:03:00.000-07:00

Hi,

Im getting 3 baby teeth pulled today because i have 3 adult teeth growing over them and they have no rrom to gorw and i was just wondering... Will this hurt?will the needle hurt because thats what he's going to give me..im kinda scared and i really dont wanna go! =[

Does getting baby teeth pulled hurt?
Baby teeth aren't rooted as deep as your adult teeth so the pain won't be as bad as that. The novacaine needle will feel the same regardless, if you receive novacaine. But even after they are pulled, it shouldn't be as sore the next few days because again, they aren't as deep rooted, therefore less nerves are affected.
Reply:If they are wrigling they wont hurt as much as if they are stuck hard. My sister had this happened where the adult was pushing behind (not directly) but the tooth wouldn't move (it was abnormally long, like twice length of normal one) Ask your doctor if this is the case (it will hurt more)

Baby tooth pulling soreness goes away in less than 3 hours.

Adult ones are sore for much longer! I had 2 pulled yesterday. =[ I'm sure 3 baby teeth will be ok. Relax.

You'll barely feel the needle
Reply:Not too bad. The needle prick may hurt, depending on your pain tolerance. During the extraction you will feel a lot of pressure, not a whole lot of pain though.
Reply:after the needle... it wont hurt at all.

i dont think it'll hurt that much cause its baby teeth anyways...

the needle will feel a bit.. pinchy... but it'll be painless after that..

the recovery is a different story though ahah but that just depends
Reply:I had two towards the front pulled out, Numbing needles always hurt a lot for me but that's just my experience, if possible, ask your doctor if they can laughing gas you, I'm pretty sure my dentist offered that but I decided against. I don't recall any pain after but there was a fair bit of blood.
Reply:no ull be fine!
Reply:You might feel 1 little pinch during the numbing and then it should feel numb from there on. Baby teeth do not have much root left and come out very easily. If you are nervous you might request some nitrous oxide gas to help calm you and not care about what they do.
Reply:I had to do that too.i had nine teeth pulled all together...but not ALL at the same time.

When they use the needle it kinda hurts like a pinch or a scrape but it wont be to bad cuz that will numb your mouth and then when they pull your teeth it will be fine it wont hurt.

If you dont mind your gums being numb then you really have nothing to worry about.

hope everything goes fine :)
Reply:Well, I just got a baby tooth pulled this morning at the orthodontist when I was getting my braces put on, and it didn't hurt at all. I didn't even get any novacaine or anything. Thry just pulled it out. I didn't feel anything. I got it pulled for the same reason your getting yours done - the adult tooth is growing in in front of it. I don't know how the needle feels because like I said, I didn't even have ANY numbing agent whatsoever. If those baby teeth are already kind of loose they may just give you a local anesthetic which involves no needles at all. It's just a paste sort of like Orajel.

So no, it shouldn't hurt at all. That's what the novacaine is for, after all! Just relax, it's not that bad. If anything it's a relief because you're getting those teeth out of the way!

Hope I helped! And don't worry so much - it's not bad at all! :)
Reply:itll hurt a lot more if you get braces, which u may have to get since u have tooth overlap. i dont have to woory of that, my babe teeth r gone =)

BE BRAVE!! IM ROOTING FOR YOU!

My teeth don't hurt, will filling not have to be deep then?

2010-05-17T21:02:00.002-07:00

I need three fillings done and have an appt. start of May. They don't hurt, but sometimes feel a bit funny, not huge but a little. Does this mean they are big fillings or if it had to be big fillings would my teeth be hurting right now?

I needed fillings in June 06', back then he told me the fillings were very small.... but I had a lot happen that I totally forgot to reschedule until now. What are signs it might of gotten worse and will need bigger fillings?

My teeth don't hurt, will filling not have to be deep then?
If you needed the restorations in last June, they are definitely larger now. So really all we know is that they are no longer "very small." Chances are, what you are feeling is the normal sensitivity that can occupy dental decay (caries).

Does this mean the decay isn't huge? No. Does it reduce the likelihood of it being huge? Absolutely.

Good luck. And next time, try not to let so much time go by. If the decay had been large, by now it might be into the nerve or so extensive that the tooth might be nonrestorable (not able to be fixed).

Signs that the decay is approaching the nerve are cold and hot sensitivity, both with delays- meaning that even when you take away the offending material (hot coffee, for example), the pain lingers on for a bit. This is in comparison to when you eat a piece of candy, feel something "funny," and as soon as you swallow the candy, the feeling goes away.
Reply:Sometimes the bigger they are and the longer you have had them the less you feel them. It is very possible that they are big since they were small last summer. But no matter how big they are most can be fixed. I wish you the best.

My teeth constantly hurt!?

2010-05-17T21:02:00.001-07:00

I have on temporary venners right now and have had them on for almost 2 weeks. I wake up in the middle of the night and I just want to die my mouth hurts so bad. Yesterday they gave me antibiodics and told me to take Extra Strength Tylenol every 4-6 hours but it is still not helping. What could be going on here? I know the dentist took a lot of my real teeth down for the venners. Could I have an abcess? It is mostly at night when they hurt.

My teeth constantly hurt!?
The temporaries are leaking. There isn't a tight seal with a temporary and you get sensitivity (any temporary not just yours). You could be breathing through your mouth at night and that is why you get most of the sensitivity then. The dentist should be able to get you numb, take the temporaries off, and seal the tubules with desensitizer. I have veneers and that really helps me when I am waiting for final product. An abcess would throb, possibly with your heart beat, and be worse with hot, and laying down. Call the doc they don't want you to suffer!
Reply:no
Reply:I really feel for you. I'd go back to you dentist tomorrow and explain to them how much pain your suffering.

If you've had extractions before having the veneers put on,then I'm guessing you might have a condition called dry socket, which you dentist can treat, but does take a while to heal.

It could be an abscess again, as pain from abscesses tend to happen at night.

I'm only guessing though from the info you've given.

My best advice though would be to go and see your dentist.

Hope you are out of pain soon
Reply:hmm, how many? i don't think u have dry socket. your gums could be in pain from the work they have done. i assume they numed you up for the job they did on you. anyhow if they did it right its probably just gum pain and that can make your whole mouth hurt including all your teeth. for now i suggest you try plan ibuprofen 800 mg every 4 to 6 hours. if you don't improve in a week you'll need to go back. but i really think its all the work they have done. i know i just had a root canal,and a new crown.g.l.,t.c.
Reply:A dry socket would have nothing to do with veneers since you don't take any teeth out to get veneers. An abcess is possible if there was decay on any on the teeth. Chances are you are having post op sensitivity. It may or may not subside right away. Instead of tylenol, switch to Motrin. It is an anti inflamatory and this may help. Ask your dentist about a desensitizor they can put on your teeth to help with that.

Do wisdom teeth always hurt when they're first coming in?

2010-05-17T21:02:00.000-07:00

I think I'm growing wisdom teeth, because in the area that they should be in, there's like a red spot, as if you poked yourself with a needle and drew blood, if you know what I'm talking about. It really hurts, and I just want to know does it hurt for everyone when they grow in? And how long will the pain last? Also, how can I stop it from hurting?

Do wisdom teeth always hurt when they're first coming in?
Yup, you got it. It hurts when teeth come in, that's why babies cry when they're teething! Your gums will get bright, fire-red and sore, and may swell, as the teeth try to come through. It should only last for a day or so, since most teeth erupt a little at a time.

Go see your dentist to make sure you don't need to get them removed. Wisdom teeth often cause a lot of problems!
Reply:They are pain full as they have to break the surface. You should consult a Dentist to make sure your body can accommodate them. Many times your mouth may be too small, they could be impacted (in the bone) or coming in crooked. You may also experience the unpleasant taste of metal in your mouth (why who knows). Over the counter pain medication should relieve the pain.
Reply:Wisdom teeth always hurts as the tooth needs to pierce the well grown cheek flesh to pop out.

The time of hurting will vary between 4 to 7 days. In the meantime, you should visit your dentist, who will prescribe the drugs in order to (1) Reduce pain (2) make the flesh soft (3) ensure growth of tooth is quicker (4) counter infection (using antibiotics, just in case, the flesh is inflammated).
Reply:some advil and orajel will help, and yes It hurt for me too....at least its only four teeth coming in for us, how do you think babies feel with a full mouth of teeth coming in? oh the pain will probably stop after the teeth cut the gum.
Reply:yes it does because its pushing its way trying to come out from beneath the gum
Reply:Often they do. Why they are called 'wisdom teeth', I don't know. They are usually extra teeth that you do not need and your mouth can hardly handle because of the limited space. That's why they are often impacted - cramped into a very small space.

See or talk to a dental professional because you should not be experiencing the pain that you are describing.

Use Ambesol. There are Q-tip sort of things with this medication on them that you can clamp down on between your lower and upper jaw. You can find them at any drug store, Wal-Mart etc.

If you can't get to that right now, clamp down on an aspirin in the afflicted area. It has a slower but longer affect.

I'm sorry for your pain. I truly hope I helped.
Reply:Usually they do when they break through the gum, though pain is pretty rare and usually a sign of maybe something isn't coming in right. You should probably visit your dentist or orthodontist to see if they are coming in properly and if you have enough room for them. Personally I had both problems, not enough room and coming in sideways so I constantly biting my cheek therefore I had some pain, and then i had all 4 removed. the biggest thing I can say is to visit the dentist.
Reply:I never noticed mine come through. I have very straight white teeth and never have problems with them.

Why do my teeth always hurt?

2010-05-15T05:59:00.001-07:00

I always had great teeth, until I stopped having insurance two years ago, and could no longer see a dentist. Now, when I brush my teeth, my gums bleed a lot, then swell. After I brush/floss, my teeth feel loose, and the molars hurt when I press down on them. They feel fine when I haven't recently brushed, but they hurt after I brush, and bleed horribly. Why is this?

Why do my teeth always hurt?
u probably really need to see a dentist
Reply:Stop giving bjs...
Reply:Buy that sensitive tooth paste. That's what the dentist will tell you. You do need to go though and let the dentist know this.

Hope you feel better,

Tess :)
Reply:That sounds pretty serious. You should see a dentist because it may be gum disease. Do you use Listerine?
Reply:well probably because you dont brush often enough or your eating habits are bad.
Reply:Your first instinct is probably to not brush or floss as often, when in fact you should do it once more per day then you are doing it now.

That sounds like gum disease (gingivitis), and you should buy a mouthwash and use it and brush and floss religiously until you can get to a dentist.
Reply:Are you a smoker? Usually the bleeding is from infections, but do not stop brushing...like most people do. To continue brushing and use mouth wash. It help kills bacteria that may not be removed during normal brushing. Check with local government agency that may help you in getting affordable health care. Prevention is always best when dealing with medical issues and not wait till the pain is throbbing and unbearable. In the end you will save more $$$. Hope this will help you find an answer.
Reply:It depends on what kind of pain it is..throbbing? burning? aching? shooting pains? does it go from one kind to another? Is it from the time u wake up to the time you get to bed or does it act up after you have been up for awhile?....have you had any children or miscarriages? do yo u have odd periods?....answers to these questions would help me.
Reply:Hello there,

In the past I have had problems with gum bleeding. I used Sensodyne toothpaste. You will get this in any store (USA).

I used it continuously for a few months and the bleeding stopped. Its amazing trust me.

Then I stopped and my gums started bleeding again. SO I went back to it and it stopped again.

So you may want to use it for a few months.

Coming from a holistic background, for Ayurvedic Medicine, we use what is called as "Neem". Its really a tree and we use twigs from this tree to chew on it. This is the best way to keep your teeth healthy. If this sounds good let me know I will find out for you where you can get Neem toothpaste.

Hope you feel better and your gums stop bleeding.

Take care.

Thanks,

Reply:it sounds like periodontists, a step beyond gingivitis. i had it recently.

the hygienist took records of which tooth is at while level and then cleaned them very thoroughly. then gives u an option of buying this EXPENSIVE electrical tooth brush and some mouth wash and toothpaste, i bought the toothpaste and mouth wash, some doc's will give u this other prescriptions gel to put on ur teeth, but depends on the person you see. its been 4 months since this visit and my teeth are still sensitive sometimes, but is sooo much better.

sorry to say this, but get dental insurance back and go to the doc.

buy some sensitive toothpaste while u get the papers going, use salt water to rinse ur mouth so it will heal faster.

good luck
Reply:You say they feel fine when you haven't recently brushed. By not recently, do you mean a few hours or a few days between brushing?

Does getting teeth pulled hurt?

2010-05-15T05:59:00.000-07:00

I am slow at getting my teeth to come out, and I still have 2 left and I need to get them pulled. I am terrified of the thought of things going in my mouth and I even thought it hurt when I got my tooth filled. How much will getting my teeth pulled hurt? =/

Thanks :)

Does getting teeth pulled hurt?
I'v only had one tooth pulled. It didn't hurt they numb your mouth so it won't hurt. You can feel it but it doesnt hurt
Reply:Only when they put the needle in to numb your mouth.

Good Luck!
Reply:not much pain at all because you will be basically high on drugs!
Reply:No as long as they freeze it!
Reply:Not too bad. U get laughing gas. You will be in pain, but its not too bad i guess.
Reply:Yeah it hellza hurts! most painful thing except childbirth... Agonizing and excruciating pain... Sucks for you
Reply:the shot has a lilltle sting, but the tooth pulling just has a lot of pressure to it, and sort of a small sting when it fully comes out.. but everyone takes pain differently
Reply:it doesn't hurt while they pull them out because youre numb. But after that wears off, heck yeah they hurt
Reply:it dont hurt that bad thay put alot of crazy stuff so you cant feel anything for like a day
Reply:Oh yeah it hurts... But its not when he does it, its the after fact... You cant eat nothing solid for like a week.. You wont feel when its pulled cause you ll be all drugged up.. Its the pain after that is a b*+*H!!! GOOD Luck
Reply:The process doesnt hurt that much because of freezing. It does however hurt for a few days after.
Reply:it hurts very much at least when dentist does mine !
Reply:Dental surgeries never hurt during if they've drugged you up properly. It's the afterwards that's uncomfortable.
Reply:well if your dentist isnt a moron then he should give you a good amount of numbing medication so you shouldnt feel it, but it will be tender after the numbing wears off and until the holes heal up. so you can ask him to prescribe some RX strength ib profin or something for that.

I havent had any teeth pulled in probably 10 years so my memory is vague, but i dont remember it being painful... and i have a very low tolerance for pain.
Reply:You won't feel a thing. It will be a little sore after, but not bad. Good luck
Reply:To me, it hurts. I have to be put under. To do this, I have to see a specialist. Not everyone has the same issue with having teeth pulled. Some people say they don't feel a thing! It depends completely upon how YOU FEEL. If you are frightened, I don't think that helps. Let your dentist know how you are feeling and what your concerns are. Hope this helps.
Reply:It doesn't hurt if they numb your mouth or give you gas. I remember when I was little I got some teeth pulled, and they made me choose this scented thing that goes over my nose, and they told me to breathe in it. Of course, at the time, I had no idea that they had gassed me, and I didn't feel a thing.
Reply:The shot of novocaine hurts a little but not when you get your teeth pulled.
Reply:probably won't be. my dad used to tie a string around my wobbling tooth and pull, i don't remember it hurting. but at the dentist it definitely won't.
Reply:I just had one of mine pulled last Thurs. The dentist put in plenty of novacane and I didn't feel anything. However it has been a little sore the last few days but that is going away.
Reply:Not much. Discomfort as far as having a foreign feeling in your mouth but you can have your dentist prescribe you painkillers and never go through any pain.

I had my wisdom teeth removed, in a grueling, ugly procedure, because they were growing out crooked; I took painkillers and was never in any serious pain. Now I feel a zillion percent better because of it.
Reply:Well, when I got a tooth extracted, it didn't hurt...at first. The numbing came but I could definitely feel the pressure of the tooth being pulled. It wasn't exactly pain but you can feel the pressure and it just sort of scared of me. But I think you should be fine, the dentist will talk you through it. Good luck! :)
Reply:Getting bad teeth pulled hurts a whole lot less than living with pain in your jaws. Kinda like the mouse pulling the thorn from the lions foot. Just do it. It only sucks for a day or two. Way better than living in pain every day.
Reply:They will numb it a lot! when i was little i got both of my kanines pulled and they gave me like seven shots of novacane, and i didn't feel a thing. You could also try nitroxide(laughing gas) it makes you happy and not as scared
Reply:ya they will freeze you up, so you don't feel a thing ? are you talking about wisdom teeth or baby teeth if they think the tooth is kinda lose they might try to pull it without any freezing which may hurt
Reply:They will give you something to numb your mouth so the process shouldn't be too painful, but afterwards once the numbness goes away, you probably will feel pain. I think they can prescribe pain medication or you can take OTC pain meds to help the pain. Always check with the dentist to see what he/she recommends.

Good Luck and hang in there!
Reply:As long as you get anesthesia, then no. :)

Depending on which teeth they are though, the level of pain will vary. Once the numbing the dentist does wears off then it may ache for a couple of days if it is a molar/wisdom tooth. Incisors and bicuspid removal is not as painful as those back teeth.

Good luck!
Reply:it will only hurt after the pain meds wear off but over the counter meds will cover it
Reply:When I got my tooth pulled, it didn't hurt that much. In fact, I don't think it hurt at all really, because they put this medicine in your mouth so it doesn't hurt. It might hurt for a millisecond, but that's it.
Reply:its not like you going to get your tooth pulled without any anaesthetic, so while you are getting operated on, it wont hurt, and it possibly wont hurt after the anaesthetic wheres off.

theses days, the needles (especially dental needles) dont hurt at all, and you barley feel the needle.

a lot of the time the stress before the dentist is much worse than the treatment.

good luck!!!

Reply:if its hurting as bad as your putting off then take the tylenol.

I'd take the Tylenol, though.
Reply:ooh k

so heat up a dish towel in the microwave and place it near the sore area... (the outside of your mouth)

or even ambosol ( not sure how to spell) would probably help
Reply:If the tooth was filled it shouldn't still hurt.

If it does hurt, especially when you bite down it, it means the filling got too close too the nerve (meaning your cavity was too big).

It's root canal time, my friend. That will stop the tooth from hurting.
Reply:drink heavily
Reply:Ice? anbesol?

my mom used to put baby aspirin right into the cavity, try that maybe?

i hope your feeling better soon.
Reply:oragel just put a dab on your finger rub on your teeth
Reply:Try cold or ice water. You may need to see the dentist again, but for temporary relief the ice water or just cold water may help. I had about the same thing several times and it really helped me.

If the ice or cold water helps, it is serious and you will need a root canal. It should not be hurting after a filling.
Reply:Jack Daniels, a throat losenger will num it a bit

hurt yourself somewhere else

it really works you rub it on the gums around the tooth

After 5 minutes you won't feel a thing.
Reply:If the cavity was very deep it may need a root canal. if it doesnt settle over the next few days you gonna need that root canal. generally, if the cavity deep but nerve not infected, tooth should settle by day 2. unfortunately gonna have to pop a pill or 2. pain mustn't excalate.

go back for rct or extraction if not better in 2 days
Reply:Ya i got the answer 4 u.. get REALLY STRONG mouthwash and swish it in ure mouth for 1 minute. it numbs ure gums and ure teeth
Reply:Your tooth may hurt for a few more days. If the cavity was deep or near the nerve, or they just had to work hard to get all of the junk out, it can be sore up to a week. (this recently happened to me and my mom is the dental assistant where I go, she assured me pain is normal). Your best bet really is ibuprofen. Otherwise, you can try ambesol or orajel, but the relief will be temporary, if at all, because if your pain is anything like mine was, it is a deeper pain than that. You can try using a hot water bottle/ricepack (you know the ones you microwave?) and laying with your cheek on it, it may minimize the pain a little bit.

I promise the pain eventually goes away, although right now it seems like it is going to hurt forever.

My teeth really hurt. Please help?

My 2 front teeth on the bottom of my mouth hurt like hell. Do you know the feeling of eating something really cold and your teeth get that tingling throbbing feeling? I woke up this morning with that continuous feeling, even after I brushed with toothpaste for sensitive teeth. I am so worried because I have no idea what it could be and it hurts so much. My mom is going to make me a dentists appointment but I want some kind of an idea. I'm 13.

My teeth really hurt. Please help?
i use a little peroxide when i brush,and it's a good whitener too
Reply:Well it could be a cavity. If not, I have found that daily rinsing with ACT flouride rinse works wonders for sensitive teeth. It may take a couple of weeks but it really works. I think even better than sensydyne toothpaste.
Reply:I've got sensitive front teeth too (bottom 5 front - yes I have extra). I get a protective coating done at the dentist every 2-3 years. It really helps. The sensitive teeth toothpaste doesn't help me at all. Also use Listerine with Flouride, it helps protect teeth against further deterioration.
Reply:Have those teeth encountered any kind of trauma? Often in teenagers, severe pain surrounding front teeth are from previous trauma such as getting hit in the mouth during sports, or falling on your mouth. Otherwise, I would say you probably have a cavity but you should have noticed a slight sensitivity that just got worse not all of the sudden pain. Good luck hope it's a quick fix for you!
Reply:Have you been using teeth whiteners, like the Whitestrips?

Those are notorious for causing tooth sensitivity, especially if overused. Just a thought.

when you feel pain or are sure something is wrong with you...TALK TO YOUR PHYSICIAN nobody on Yahoo answer will give you a prescription :)
Reply:try flossing...or take pain medication. You can also buy some medicine from a near by drug store for them too. cream or mouthwash.
Reply:if you have a headache and feel stuffy you could have a sinus infection sometimes that will cause your teeth to hurt

did you get your braces adjusted it could be those teeth are moving
Reply:it hurts when they tighten the braces; try painkillers. ask your parents for something.

MY WISDOM TEETH HURT!!!! What should I do to stop the pain?

2010-05-15T05:58:00.000-07:00

Yes.... I am going to a dentist tomorrow... so it is VERY unlikely that anyone can help me by then..... but there's only the Wisdom Tooth on the bottom right that's coming in and HURTING! I've tried Tylonal..... and also Gargling with Listerine.... I have sucked on an Ice Cube and a frozen wash cloth.... grrr help me!

MY WISDOM TEETH HURT!!!! What should I do to stop the pain?
Get some clove oil. Clove oil contains eugenol, which is an anesthetic.

Take a drop of clove oil and a drop of olive oil on a q-tip, then swab each tooth and along the gumline.

That'll kill the pain. And see a dentist.
Reply:get them pulled
Reply:Fight the pain till tomorrow try biting down onyour jaws
Reply:if you have some orajel it may numb it down a bit. i know they suck, i had mine taken out...

wish you the best until you get them out ;-)

btw, id stay away from the ice.
Reply:Take 4 motrin or ibprophine. that's 800 mg all together. That should help.
Reply:Spray some Cholorseptic that you spray on a sore throat.
Reply:you will need to get them pulled.if you don't it will continue to hurt.i had the same problem.i tried all kinds of pain killers NOTHING helped.so i ended up getting mine pulled.that was the ONLY WAY for the pain to stop.
Reply:have them pulled, mine bothered me until i had them pulled then i was back to normal i was only down one day after having them extracted, just have you pain killers ready and gauze pads, you will be fine.
Reply:When it comes to tooth pain many medications will not work. Please don't take too much. I know tooth pain can be unbearable. What does work is clove oil. Go to any pharmacy and ask the pharmacist (behind the counter) for some. You should also have them explain how to use it. It is important you don't swallow any because it can numb your throat. However, if you are careful then this really won't happen and you'll be happy with some relief from your tooth pain.
Reply:I am so sorry for your pain.... I know it is painful. If you are able to take an ibuprofen product (advil, motrin, etc.), try that. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory as well as pain reliever. Additionally, you can use anbesol on the area. At the drugstore, you can find it in either the dental or the baby section. Just a small amount will numb the area. I don't suggest using it long term, but since you are going to the DDS tomorrow, using it tonight should be okay. One last thing, the oldest home remedy ever, warm salt-water rinses. Salt water is very soothing and has natural healing qualities. You can also mix a little bit of hydrogen peroxide in with the saltwater....if the tooth is part of the way in and food/bacteria has built up under the gum that is still over the tooth, you may have a condition called pericoronitis. It gets very red, swollen and is painful. The peroxide will help "bubble out" the bacteria and will not harm you as long as you don't swallow it.

A WORD OF PRECAUTION: DON'T DO THIS AFTER YOU HAVE THE TOOTH REMOVED. (The peroxide)....

I hope you feel better soon. Sadly, the tooth will probably need to come out and that is not pleasant, either. If I were you, I would have the DDS take a panoramic film to see if any other wisdom teeth are getting ready to poke through. If so, have them all taken out at once and get it over with!!

My thoughts and prayers will be with you!
Reply:I know your going to think I have lost my mind but a older lady from the Orient told be about this little trick. It surprised me it worked. If your pain is on the right side, take an ice cube and rub the skin of your hand between the thumb and first finger. Do it untill that part of your hand gets numb from the cold. You will find the tooth pain has gotten better if not stopped, if it's on the left do the left hand. It's something like accupressure. You can repeat it once every hour for about ten minutes, but don't do it for to long you can make the nerve in the hand start hurting. I don't know if it will help you but believe me when I say I'd rather have a child than a tooth ache, and it worked for me and others I have told about it. It's worth a try and if it doesn't work for you all you have done is wasted an ice cube and ten minutes. Good Luck.
