Stupid question…
What sorts of procedures to dentist use to remove wisdom teeth?
Do they just pull out the tooth in the way?
Or is more surgical than that?
Not to worry….The dentist will do whatever is needed to keep you comfortable and remove the teeth…..
Modern dentistry is safe……you will be fine.

HELLO,
ARRESTED CARIES IS THE TYPE THAT GOT BUSTED BY THE COPS, LOL.
BUT, SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A SMALL DECAY WHICH HAS RE-MINERALIZED. IN THIS WAY IT’S DIFFERENT THAN ACTIVE DECAY WHICH KEEPS GETTING BIGGER AND DEEPER THE LONGER IT STAYS THERE.

One hospital lost my mothers top set of dentures, they have agreed to replace them but she needs them now, she is back in main hospital since having to go back to ER, how do I find out if a dentist will go to the hospital? I have worked with case workers on this from both hospitals but they keep stalling saying they can’t find a dentist. Nurses says it is causing complications in mothers health care, shallow tests, and may delay her discharge… Any help appreciated and this is in Orlando, Florida.
call the dentist that made the dentures and he may make a trip to the hospital.
some large cities have mobile dentistry vans.
keep in mind that the price of a denture made by a mobile dentist may cost her 2 to 3 or 4 times as much.
you may need to schedule a transport (with physician clearance) to go to a dental office willing to take your mother. Look for a dental GPR (general practice residency) program. these dentists are usually trained in a hospital setting and may see your mom. Or you may need to see an oral surgeon that has hospital privileges. Although oral surgeons do not typically make dentures, some oral surgeons may be willing to do it depending on the circumstance.
good luck.

Can anyone give me tips on getting rid of bad dog breath? My 6 year old Pom Mix eats Iams food and treats and her breath is just terrible. Thanks!
Has she had a dental lately? A lot of toy breeds have problem teeth. Part of it could also be the food she’s eating. Do you brush her teeth regularly? It would be best for her to have a dental check-up, she likely needs a cleaning. Tooth and gum disease can lead to very serious health problems - kidney disease for example.

I have somewhat white teeth but they could be better. I want to know what is the best toothpaste that makes your teeth whiter. What I am using now doesn’t do much for me. It is " Crest Whitening Expressions". I have been using it for months now and nothing has changed. I brush my teeth twice a day and still, nothing.
So what is the best toothpaste for whitening teeth. Also is there anything else I can do to make them whiter. Use mouthwash or what?
Thanks.
As far as toothpaste I haven’t really found any that do anything REALLY noticeable.. I mean, they’ll all clean your teeth but nothing compares to the dedicated teeth whiteners.
I was a smoker for 20 years and when I finally stopped, I realized just how yellow my teeth were. I tried lots of the whiteners, and found a few that really worked and stuck with them..
I don’t want to look like I’m advertising, so I won’t say which are the best.. But if you want to know the names of the ones that work let me know and I’ll reply.
Good luck

I would imagine (and this is a completely non-medical opinion!) that men get more cavities.
I think women are more likely to brush and floss their teeth frequently, and go for regular dental check ups. Women are usually more health conscious, and eat less sugary food due to dieting/watching their weight.

Hellllllllla questions for ya:
1. What courses should you take in college in order to get into dental school/to become a dentist?
2. How many years after high school does it take to become a dentist?
3. What is the average starting salary of a dentist?
1. You would take the required pre-dental classes:
2-4 semesters of biology (general, plant, animal, and genetics)
4 semesters of chemistry with labs (including organic chemistry)
1 semester of physics (optional)
1 semester of calculus
2. After high school you spend four years in college and then four years in dental school.
3. Average starting salary is greatly dependent upon your location, credentials, affiliation, and luck. Expect about $50,000 your first few years, possibly less. Dentists don’t command extraordinary salaries and usually average about $135,000 (based on an average from a lot of different websites).

Your mouth is naturally full of bacteria. Sugar serves as food for the bacteria whose byproduct is acid. The acid eats away at your teeth.
sugar + bacteria = acid = decay

My husband is contemplating some major dental work and while partials arent the affordable method we’re not sure if having all teeth pulled and getting full dentures is the best idea.
If it is possible to save the teeth and have partial dentures, then this is the way he should go. It is always best to have at least some of your own teeth as opposed to removing all teeth and having full dentures.
But, he must maintain the health of these teeth by brushing, flossing and having regular cleanings.
Having full dentures is never the ideal option due to the fact that you lose more bone and eating, talking, etc are hindered by dentures.
I strongly suggest he keep the teeth the he can and get the partial dentures.

I have post nasal drip, i don’t have bad breath coming from my nose so that’s irrelevant. I clean the back of my tongue every morning and my tonsil twice a month.
I don’t take medication, live a healthy life, only thing is i have bad breath any suggestion.
Please no silly answers like brush your teeth or use mouthwash.
It could be coming from ur stomach.
but if all else fail carry around some gum.
