I hoping you can offer up some help.  I have a top wisdom tooth that I have been told has become impacted and should be removed as soon as possible so that it does not start causing more problems with my other teeth.   However the dentist I go to told me I would need to see an oral surgeon to have the tooth removed.

I have been told that my two bottom wisdom teeth need to be pulled that they are impacted and causing a lot of problems with my teeth.  The dental insurance I have now I found out does not offer any coverages for me to go to an oral surgeon but that is were I need to go.  Will getting a dental discount plan really save me money?

I am worried about getting dry socket.  I just had all four wisdom teeth removed.  Four days ago.   I am still having to take some of my pain killers they gave me.  But the thing the top right wisdom tooth extract site hurts more then the others.  It is also swollen the most.  Could I have dry socket going on?  How do I know if I am getting dry socket?

I was wondering if it is some kind of requirement to have you wisdom teeth pulled.  I have not been to the dentist in a while and was told that I shoul think about having my wisdom teeth pulled.  I said I would think about it.  However really way should I spend that kind of money when my wisdom teeth are not even giving me any problems.

So I have an Impacted wisdom tooth in the bottom right back of my mouth.  Although I have dental insurance they will not cover having my wisdom tooth removed until February of next year.  This tooth is starting to hurt me now and I do not think that I can put it off until February to get it removed.   The other part of the problem is I do not think I can afford to have it removed without help from the insurance company paying for most of it. What can I do to get the work done now but make it affordable for me to be able to pay for it .

I know I need my two bottom wisdom teeth removed.   Though right now they are not giving me any issues I was told by a dentist two months ago it is something I should have done.  I also have two missing top teeth that I currently have a bridge for.  I knock my teeth out in a car accident may moon ago.

The concept  of having to have your wisdom teeth removed is not clear to me.  Do you always have to have them removed?  I just started to have my bottom wisdom teeth come out but they seem fine to me.  They do not hurt me and as far as I can tell are coming out straight.

I Need to have two of my bottom wisdom teeth removed since if I do not they will cause me to have crooked teeth. I do not have the room for them to come in like I did for my top teeth.  My bottom wisdom teeth are starting to cut though but the dentist said if I do not get them out now they will be pushing my other teeth causing issue.

Can’t stop thinking about my surgery

About how long will the stitches that the dentist put in after my tooth extraction take to dissolve? I have four stitches in the back of my mouth and they are kind of bugging the heck out of me. I just had the tooth extraction yesterday if that helps.

I would like to know about how long do I need to wait before working out after having dental implant surgery.  I just had four implants put in three days ago and I am for the most part feeling fine.  I am an active guy and hate note working out.  The oral surgeon told me not to do anything stressful.  I am guessing he meant for me not to workout but he did not say for how long.

I had both of my top wisdom teeth removed just yesterday.  The surgery went well and I am recovering from the extractions.  The thing is, I am now having a really bad cough that I did not have before the extractions where done.

I will be having my two top wisdom’s teeth removed Friday.  I am nervous about getting them removed because I had a really bad experience with having the two bottom wisdom teeth removed.   When I got those teeth remove my general dental said he could pull them.  He got one out okay but the second one was a nightmare.  It took him over an hour to pull it out in pieces.

I just got one of my wisdom teeth removed.  The one one the left bottom side of my mouth.  It as been three hours now and I am still feeling numb from the Novocaine.   My pass experiences with Novocaine the numbness only lasted an hour or two.  Should I be worried that half my mouth is still numb?
