Does having your wisdom teeth pulled really hurt excessively

Read the rest of this dental post »

So I just got two of my front teeth pulled.  I will be getting a bridge put in but I need to heal first.  Anyway I just had them pulled like two hours ago and I am getting really hungry.   How long should I wait to eat.   I am not in really to much pain so I think I could get something soft just not sure how much longer I should wait.

I just got a wisdom tooth removed today.  It was not really a big deal since it was mostly out so the extraction was rather quickly done and I do not have much pain at all.  The thing is I am a smoker and the paper work for the after care instructions say I should wait 24 hours before smoking.   I heard different things said about that though.  I do not what dry socket but what are the odds of really getting that from smoking?  Do I really have to wait 24 hours?

What does it mean when a dentist says a tooth is partially erupted

I have no insurance and I need to have 4 wisdom teeth removed.

I have no dental insurance and I live in California.  I need to have all four of my wisdom teeth extracted.  About how much would having them extracted cost?  Is there any financial aid I can get ? I know I should not wait to much long to have them pulled so I need all the help I can get.

Food stuck in my wisdom teeth extraction

I just had two teeth pulled.  My dentist told me not to smoke for a few days.  Well it has be four days.  Do you think that it is okay for me to smoke again.  Is four days at least a few days?  Well wait if I have too but would not like having to so advise please.

Will the have to remove my wisdom teeth

I will be getting braces soon in about a month.  I have very crowed teeth now which is making my teeth crooked.  I do not have room for my wisdom teeth to come in.  I had to have my general dentist take the X-rays which show I have wisdom teeth they just have not come out yet.  He is sending the X-rays over to me Orthodontic for review so he can advise whether or not I need to have any teeth pulled due to the over crowding.

Does it hurt when Dentist pulls out your teeth

I have a over crowding issue with my teeth.  The dentist told me that he will need to have three teeth pulled to help with the crowding issue.  I have to have them pulled before they will give me braces.  So I am wondering does it hurt to have your teeth pulled?  If so how much?  I am not a big baby but I do not like to be in pain.

How can I calm my nerves

I will be having all four of my wisdom teeth extracted on Friday.  How can I calm myself down. I am really nervous about having the procedure done.  I will be under during the wisdom teeth extractions but knowing that is not helping me calm down.

About how much does it cost to have wisdom teeth removed

I live in PA and need all four of my wisdom teeth removed.  One of them is really starting to bothers me and cause me pain.  I do not have dental insurance for this and I have very little money.  Anyone have any idea of cost?  If I have to I will only get the one out that hurting me and worry about the others latter.

Your dentist uses root canal treatment to find the cause and then treat problems of the tooth’s soft core (the dental pulp). Years ago, teeth with diseased or injured pulps were removed. Today, root canal treatment has given dentists a safe way of saving teeth.

Root canal vs getting the tooth pulled

I really do not want to pull the tooth but I am in a lot of pain.  I have a back molar that was decaying. I bough dental insurance six months ago but I still have three months to wait for a root canal or an extraction.  The thing is having an extraction is cheaper then the root canal and I do not think I can put up with the pain for another three months.   Please advise what should I do to save my tooth and not pay so much money?
