Free dental surgery for 19+?

can i receive free dental treatment if im a full time student but im over 19?? i live in london if that makes any difference

Free dental surgery for 19+?
Yes you'll have to fill in a HC-1 NHS form to get free treatment though. You can pick one up at your GP/dentist/pharmacy normally. If you need to find a dentist just inform your local PCT as they have a legal duty to find you an NHS dentist.


Dental surgery on a 4-year-old? Advice please?

My 4 yo has been recomended to have some dental work under general anesthesia at a local hospital instead of slowly at an office. First we've heard of this done this way. Also, want payment up front to then bill ins. co. Got estimate from ins, which was $600 less than what the doctor wants us to pay.





1. Second opinion? 2. Wait til teeth fall out? 3. Haggle on the price? (Insurance will pay us what it feels it's worth, so the extra is on us)





Thanks in advance.

Dental surgery on a 4-year-old? Advice please?
I refer about one child to the specialist per year. The rest I manage in my own non-pediatric office. Those that I DO send, I fully expect will be candidates for hospital dentistry. If your child has loads of cavities, it may be better to just get it over with rather than try "behavior modification" at this early age. It would be a shame to set up a lifetime of dental fear because of bad memories from these early experiences.





Do NOT just wait for the teeth to fall out! You are risking infections and toothaches galour. A 4 year old has teeth in place (the molars) that are supposed to serve until age 10-12. There is no way that a decayed tooth will last more than a few months or a year in a child. You really have ot get this taken care of.





If you do seek second opinions, please consider carefully whether you want to use general anesthesia in a private office. Personally, as a dentist, I would not do it. General anesthesia on an adult for a brief procedure like a tooth extraction is one thing. General anesthesia for a small child for an extended procedure is totally different. No 4 year old child of MINE would EVER be put to sleep any place other than a hospital operating room where there is an anesthetist or anesthesiologist who will do NOTHING but monitor his or her condition throughout the entire procedure. Never ever.
Reply:Insurance will allow THEIR fee schedule - not the doctor's. It depends on the plan your employer bought. Some would cover 100%, regardless. Report It

Reply:But best wishes to you and your family as you get through this ordeal. Report It

Reply:get a second opinion. that is the best way to see if other dentists think that this is necessary and go from there.





research the situation-- look on webmd.com %26amp; see if they have any information on his problem. researching can give you more knowledge to understand the situation %26amp; your childs needs versus a bad doctor.





if the second opinion says he needs this surgery, then i would suggest talking to the dentist on ways to get your insurance to cover the surgery. they can pull strings for you that you aren't aware of by writing letters %26amp; so forth. you have to do what is best for your child %26amp; false teeth will end up being a whole lot more costly!!!
Reply:If his teeth are decayed you don't want him to suffer with pain or infection- haggle w the price- tell the md what the ins will pay- sometimes they will take what the ins. pays- that would be nice- D
Reply:First, I would get a couple more opinions from specialists first. Make sure they aren't aware you have seen any other doctors, sometimes these doctors stick together with opinions. Second, paying up front when you have insurance makes me suspicious. Why? Third, research this surgery; contact dental schools and ask about the surgery, don't give details, just say you are curious.





I am concerned about dental surgery on such a young child. Why is this necessary? What exactly are they trying to accomplish with surgery that can't be done some other less invasive way. Surgery is major, especially when it comes to children. If the person doing surgery has no experience with children, that is very dangerous. Children need special attention with regard to anesthesia, medication, etc.





Proceed with caution.
Reply:Well, I for one would definitely get a second or maybe third opinion. It seems rather drastic to subject a child to that when those baby teeth are going to fall out soon. I've heard of far too many dentists taking advantage of insurance claims by doing dental work on small children that's not necessary. IF your second and third opinions agree, doing the general at a local hospital is the ONLY way to go. I recently heard of a little girl that died because they put her under in the dentists office, she had troubles with the anesthesia and they didn't have the medical equipment to help her.
Reply:It's less dramatic on a child under general anesthesia and the dentist can work quicker. The procedure only takes about 30 minutes to an hour depending on procedure. If you can in early in the morning will be out by lunch time. Call around and see if there is a qualify pediatric dentist who will work with your insurance company better. This should be done at the hospital and most hospital will only require you to pay your deductible and copay, your dentist should bill the same. The hardest part is not letting the child have anything to eat or drink after midnight and when they first get up.
Reply:Get a second opinion NOW. Don't agree to anything. Dental surgery on a 4 year old is ONLY necessary if there are severe problems that make it difficult for the child to eat....
Reply:please get a second opinion
Reply:Well, If you wait til your child's baby teeth fall out. You are looking at many years of agony and maybe pain for you child, if he or she has cavities. When I first brought my son to the dentist, he was right around 4. He would not stay still and cried the entire time he was in the dentist chair. We tried three separate office visits before our next step.


I just think going to the hospital is too extreme. But then you don't mention what exactly they need to do for your child. My dentist gave me medication to give my son, 15 minutes before coming into the office. It calmed him down and the dentist was able to clean his teeth. He even filled a cavity. I was able to actually sit in the dentist chair with my son on my lap and he was great. It was a piece of cake! Once my son felt at ease with the dentist, we no longer needed the medication, nor did I have to sit with him. The medication was as mild as cough medicine! It did not knock him out. He was fully awake. It just calmed his fear and reaction to the situation. Ask you dentist about this.


I myself would try this before putting my child under any anesthesia. And I know it's a lot less expensive.


Good luck!
Reply:the hospital is the best way to go. i would get a second opinion due to the insurance thing, and parents, just a bit of advice, get your children to the dentist young! if they are used to going to the dentist they will not be as traumatized when they have to go, plus by routine cleanings you can avoid alot of problems. people assume that "they are going to loose their teeth anyways so why take them to the dentist unless there is a problem"! I can tell you, My sister has medicaid on her children, yet has never taken them to the dentist, now her 4 year old has a mouthful of rotten teeth, is in pain and now has to be put under sedation so they can fix his teeth! absolutely unnecessary if she had taken him to the dentist for cleanings!!!


Impending dental surgery - advice needed?

I am a very VERY nervous patient - and after much prevaricating im about to undergo major surgery. Im being sedated and haveing 4 teeth extracted, plus 8 fillings (my fear stems from a horrible dentist i had as a child - this is my first full on appointment for a decade).





My dentist has been great, is really nice and talked me through everything. But does anyone have any advice from experience?





I am starting arnica tablets the day before the surgery to help with bruising. And as i am a nervous patient my dentist has agreed that i can take some rescue remedy drops before surgery. I have a ride home and hubby is taking time off work to look after me and keep me company.





Am i forgetting something?

Impending dental surgery - advice needed?
Wow, sounds like you have a great dentist. It sounds like you have all the bases covered and will do fine. I know that my youngest daughter like to have the dentist use the "gas" to help her relax, it takes the edge off.





You'll do fine. Dental surgery has come a long way and so has their tools.





Additional info. 11/13/07





I have not come across a dentist that still uses amalgam fillings any more. Listen to your dentist, they are Doctors and have had many years of training PLUS continuing training on all the latest techniques.





YOU WILL BE FINE!!!
Reply:you will be fine. i myself had to under go surgery 2 months ago. i had 13 teeth pulled out, all the teeth on the top. mind you it hurt like hell, but all wen twell. i was under the operation. i was scared out of my wits, but i worried for nothing because like i said everything went fine. u will be fine. good luck. hope this helps.
Reply:It shouldn't be too bad. January of this year I had 3 wisdom teeth extracted after about 3 weeks of having a horrible infection. I too was very nervous and that was my first full on dental visits in a long time. I had to go several times to see if the swelling had gone down enough to operate. I was sedated with nitrous oxide and another sedative through I.V. The surgery took about 3 hours but only felt like 2 minutes since I was knocked out. The pain wasn't too bad after the surgery because the numbness was still there but when that wore off the pain was pretty bad. All I can say is relax and trust your dentist to do what he or she has to do. After a while in the operating room while they are preping you, you might start to feel really nervous but just relax and it will all go away. There is really nothing to worry about, and according to my experience everything should turn out fine. Just don't eat anything 6 to 12 hours prior to the operation. Good luck!!
Reply:I was put out to have four teeth extracted also. My dentist said I tried to talk the whole time plus tears ran down my cheeks. I felt no pain. He put the IV in my wrist and had me start counting backwards. I think I said 2 numbers before I was out.The corners of my mouth were real sore when I woke up, and I was groggy for a few hours afterwards but everything went well. Yours will too. Good Luck!
Reply:Make sure your dentist is NOT going to use Amalgam fillings and that the teeth he is going to extract are for a Very, Very good reason. If the teeth you are going to have extracted are due to gum disease, wait, try something first before having that done. Most gum disease can be fixed relatively easily with a mixture of NEEM OIL and PINE BARK. You can reduce "pockets" from a height of 5 to 0 in about 2 months with this product.





Additionally, the Amalgam fillings are a major cause of infections in teeth and mercury poisoning of your body. The Amalgam fillings do not bond to your teeth; they fill a hole drilled by your dentist to be reverse-wedge shaped to hold it into your mouth. The interstitial space between the Amalgam and your tooth is where the liquid mercury (about 50% of the amalgam) leaches out over time. This is by design! The amount of mercury leaching out is in the form of mercury vapor that, when ingested, becomes mercuric ions that go to your brain and kill brain tissue. Go to: http://commons.ucalgary.ca/mercury/ and watch a short 5 minute video of how mercury causes brain degeneration like that found in Alzheimer's disease.





The correct filling material is made of "ceramic." Ceramic filling material has a hardness of 300, just like your natural tooth. It is very permanent and will not cause the infections that amalgams do. The dentists also use another white filling material that is very soft. This lasts for a while, but wears down quickly and the edges of the filling allow infections to happen as well. Insist on the "CERAMIC" filling material. If your dentist will not do this, change dentists.





You need to get ANY amalgam fillings out of your mouth if you have ANY. Be sure to not go to just any dentist to do this. It must be done properly or you will get mercury poisoning that can cause many health problems. A good bio-dentist is important to seek out that knows the proper procedure for this.





The Neem oil and Pine Bark products can be purchased from: www.healthline.cc (not .com) and it works like nothing you have ever seen. It will generally stop bleeding gums in one day and reduce the pockets in weeks, preventing most surgeries.





Be aware that ALL dentists working under the ADA (American Dental Association) are licensed and are directed by this agency to NOT tell you Amalgam fillings are bad for you. They are directed to give you a pamphlet made by the ADA to tell you Amalgam is O.K. They can only take your Amalgams out if you request it for one of 3 reasons. None of the reasons are that you just want to have them out because of the obvious problems they care causing your health to be affected negatively. It is simply amazing that this is the case. Your Dentist will have his license taken away if he tells you amalgams are bad for you.





good luck to you

How much does it cost to get dental cosmetic surgery?

i was considering invisalign and other things but has anyone had dental cosmetic surgery? howmuch did it cost overall

How much does it cost to get dental cosmetic surgery?
I'm a dentist.





That depends on what you mean by "dental cosmetic surgery."





If you're referring to veneers, I'd hardly consider that to be surgery. Veneers can range in price from $800 to $2000 per tooth, depending on a few things--locality being the most important factor.





There is, of course, gingival recontouring, which might be considered to be "surgery" (albeit exceedingly simple surgery). I have no idea what the average fee is. I charge $125 per tooth...because it's so simple.





Invisalign generally costs more than braces.

Reply:Hi,





You can get very useful info related your query from http://dentalcare.easyassistance.info . The website has highly useful resources on detal care. Check it out! Happy Smiling!!
Reply:I just paid for my Invisalign and it was $5600 for the total treatment. I had previously consulted several dentists about getting veneers and the prices I was quoted ranged from $11,000 to $15,500 to have 8 teeth veneered. My current dentist recommended Invisalign and laser whitening first, and then veneers if I still wasn't happy, but I wouldn't likely need as many veneers once my teeth are straightened, which would save me money. If cost is a concern for you, check out www.carecredit.com Good luck to you.
Reply:As NebulaD mentioned in a previous post it really does depend on locality.


I needed full cosmetic restoration and decided, after due dilligence and recommendation to go to Mexico, which was quite a way for me as im from the UK.


I had 28 top quality porcelain crowns at a cost of $2400, fully 90% less than the $36,000 i was quoted here.


I couldnt' be happier, but as i said you really need to make sure the dentist comes recommended,not just in mexico ,but anywhere you decide to go for treatment





This the dentist i went with if you are interested


Hope this helps

Extreme nausea, headache after dental implant surgery?

I'm taking care of someone who had a dental implant surgery yesterday and has had a few before this.


After the past surgeries, she had virtually no problems and was back to herself within the day. This time, though, she's not in great shape. She's been sleeping since yesterday afternoon and starting vomiting last night - we got up appx. 6-7 times. She's also had a headache since shortly after surgery. She's afraid to eat or take her pills at this point, and I'm trying to keep her hydrated.





Has anyone else had this experience? (I spoke with a friend who is a doctor, but I'd just like other input or to know if this happened to you what was the reason, etc.)

Extreme nausea, headache after dental implant surgery?
I cannot give medical advice, but I would urge you to contact the dentist and another doctor on a regular basis. From your description, it sounds possible that she has experienced a bacterial infection from her dental work (it could be nothing - only a bad reaction to the medicine, but better safe than sorry!). The mouth carries many bacterial and many times, slow growing bacteria on implants or medical devices can lead to sepsis or bacteremia (bacteria in the blood). You've probably heard of the link between heart disease and oral hygiene (based on a similar principle). Keeping her hydrated is very wise, and also be on the lookout for a fever and chills which might be an additional sign for concern. I hope this resolves soon for her.
Reply:never had this type of surgery, but had my teeth pulled at 21yrs old, swallowing blood and anesthetic will cause nausea, dehydration can cause headache. get some liquid in your friend

Oh, honey, that's awful! I just had dental implant surgery on Thursday and I've felt really good until today (I kind of over did it yesterday, talking and running errands, but I'm not terrible). I suggest you call her dentist immediately. She may need to go to the ER.


Good luck!

Has anyone had dental implant surgery done on their top front teeth numbers 9/10 with one tooth being removed.

I had dental implant surgery on Wednesday of this week. Teeth 9/10, 9 was missing and 10 was removed. Could you share your pain and discomfort with me. I got very swollent on Wednesday night and Thursday. Now, I have discomfort right under my front tooth. I wore a dental flipper the first night. That's so uncomfortable too. My lip still feels stiff in this area. Is this normal? My periodontist who did the work only works at my dental office on Wednesday's. This Wednesday I get the stitches out. I also feel the discomfort whenever I eat and I've been eating soft foods that don't require chewing. I've been with no front teeth since last June and I'm worried something didn't go right with the implants if this discomfort shouldn't be there. I can't raise the lip much in this area yet. Wondering if all this is part of the pain and discomfort. If anyone can share their thoughts with dental implants and the paint and stiffness that goes with it, I'd appreciate it alot. THANK YOU.

Has anyone had dental implant surgery done on their top front teeth numbers 9/10 with one tooth being removed.
i have had a dental implant on my #8. i also had my wisdom teeth pulled at the same time. it was painful. the pain is expected for every surgury. i think the swelling is normal. it will go down as time goes on. make sure you keep the implant very very very clean because if you dont have it clean the implant will not work properly and you will waste all that money you spent on it. the implant heals fully for about 6 months. see the doc if you have any problems.
Reply:Yes, good advice. I had my very front teeth pulled and implants put in. Your dentist might have given you penicillin and an anti-bacterial mouth wash - they should be used to prevent infection. Otherwise, expect pain, but it will subside. Report It

Reply:I think your discomfort is to be expected. The bone graft alone is quite invasive. Remember your implant surgery required drilling a hole in your BONE and placing a screw (bascially) in there. You will be sore and swollen, stiff and sore. Just remember how wonderful the end result will be. I would assume the flipper is not fitting you well due to the swelling from the surgery. Ice packs and Advil are your friend. I recommend you see the doctor who did your surgery asap just to make sure, if you are worried, it is their job to follow up with you and put your mind at ease. The swelling should be going down not getting worse at this point. You could always call your regular dentist and ask them to look if you dont want to wait until wednesday.

I want to get a dental surgery to close a gap in my teeth, how much will it cost?

Ive had braces... so my teeth are very straight. However. I have a gap between two of my teeth. I really do not want braces again. And I've see on on the makeover shows these dental surgeries where the move and shift the teeth around. I was curious to how much this would cost. Thanks

I want to get a dental surgery to close a gap in my teeth, how much will it cost?
Both of the other answers are correct.


It may be possible to use a retainer (slower and would likely require more impressions).


Another option would be bonding - if the gap is not large, or veneers. But having veneers attached can harm the surface fo the teeth.





I'm guessing but bonding would probably be less than a couple hundered and veneers probably at least a hundred more.
Reply:Typically braces are anywhere from $2000 to $4000. Since you have already had braces, you don't really need dental surgery, you just need to get a retainer. %26lt;--(much cheaper and safer)





What retainers do is slowly move your teeth together, even if there is a gap. That is usually the same price as braces, if not a little bit cheaper.





Good luck!
Reply:Have you asked about bonding to close this gap?


Also crowns or veneers might be an option and not nearly as invasive as oral surgery.
Reply:There is no surgery to "move and shift the teeth" that will not cause major damage later. Would you rather have straight teeth now and no teeth in a few years?


Also...if you move your teeth too much beyond they're natural place you can develop many other issues. Bone loss, mobility, recession, etc... Problems that Orthodontists do not tell people about while they're cashing the check.


Be wise and educate yourself...
Reply:go to your same orthodontist. they should do whatever you need for free.
Reply:A retainer might help close up your gap.

Which is a Better Profession? Doctor of Dental Surgery or Plastic Surgeon?

I would like to have a profession to help people of either Dental Surgery, because in this Job, you fix problems in the mouth or facial area. As a Plastic Surgeon, helps people in the same way cosmetics or reconstructive, I plan on going to do cosmetics, in your thought what will you choose???

Which is a Better Profession? Doctor of Dental Surgery or Plastic Surgeon?
Doctor of Dental Surgery requires a 4 year training after college and in many states does not require any internship afterward. Plastic surgery requires 4 years of medical school after college, then a 5 or 6 year residency that is highly competitive to get into (otherwise you can do a complete 5 year surgery residency then a plastics fellowship on top of that). However, if you want to be an oral surgeon and not just a DDS, you have to do a residency after dental school and in some states, have to complete an MD. However, both professions have their rewards after training is over, and both pay well for your hard work. The primary question you need to answer is, what makes a profession "better" to you?
Reply:plastic surgery is so popular at the moment, you could probably make a kill doing it. i would go for that :]
Reply:Is it for you or is it for me ?





I will not take any of them. First of all, I do not want any job that spurts some body's blood on my face. Second of all, I will be an old man with gray hair before I start practicing, let alone paying $50,000/year college fees for 4 years, after a 4 year college with all straight A's !


Has your dog ever had to have dental surgery?

My dachshund has a fractured molar and my regular vet sent me to a veterinary dentist. I knew going to a specialist would be expensive, but I wasn't prepared for this! Just the initial visit cost $120 and when I got the estimate for the procedure, I almost fell off my chair! More than $1300!!!! Just to pull a tooth. Of course that includes anesthesia, antibiotics and pain killers, but still! She's worth every cent I have to spend to keep her healthy, but this is going to be tough.





So has your dog (or cat) ever had to have dental surgery, or any other type of expensive procedure? How much did it cost?





BTW, don't let your dog chew on any hard toys! Those hard plastic Nylabones are a no-no and my dog loves them. The dentist told me a chew toy should pass the 3 following criteria:


1. Soft enough to make an indentation with your thumbnail.


2. At least a little flexible.


3. If it is hard enough to hurt you if you bang it on your knee, it's too hard for the dog to chew on.

Has your dog ever had to have dental surgery?
Why can't your vet just pull the tooth? It should be under two hundred dollars for everything including extraction. Is it broken below the gumline?


I think you are getting "took".
Reply:No she hasn't . But I know my one chihuahua needs a dental Cleaning. But it does sound high. Call around also call the vet school they usually will do it for a little cheapier.
Reply:Holy crap! Couldn't they just pull her tooth out? My girl had extracapsular cruciate ligament repair and I went to 4 vets for consultation and opinions on surgery for my girl (to see which I liked best) and finally had surgery + preop X-rays + preop bloodwork + pain killers and anti-inflammatories + all follow up visits and suture removals and all panicky calls and come ins and shots when she did too much too soon and extra pain pills twice through to the final all clear visit (so probably about 10 visits over 3 months) was probably @$1700.
Reply:Your vet doesn't like to do dental work... My dogs cost me about 300 for teeth cleaning and 25 for extraction and 30 for difficult extractions! That includes every thing-
Reply:Yes. Oodles of procedures and stuff. He has cost me a few thousand dollars thus far, and worth his weight in gold. (It started the very first day we got him - rushed him to the vet the morning after we brought him home - anal glands - NOT a pleasant way to start your first dog ownership :)





When he was losing his teeth, two or three of his canines refused to fall out, and finally, the vet said that they needed to be pulled, otherwise he might need braces (that's when I almost fell out of my chair). It took her two hours - she had only had one German Sheperd whose teeth were more difficult to pull.





Let's see - then he had some urinary issues. Some intestinal issues. Some eye issues (his eyes get irritated by hairs in his eyes %26amp; allergies). He had a thorn in his - uhm - butt (passed it all the way through, though, except that last inch). He was at another vet and chipped his canine on their cage. (He had a traumatic incident in a crate as a puppy when he managed to hook his teeth around the wiring of the crate and get stuck that way. It was AWFUL!) The same vet hosed him down while he was under, left him in the a/c office, cold, wet and unconscious. They drugged him too much, and he came stumbling out of a sideroom when me and my sister came to check on him, collapsed in my arms and remained unconscious for another forty-five minutes. AND they didn't fix his broken tooth - only cleaned his other - recently cleaned - teeth. He got a bad cold after that. Oh - and he had an allergic reaction to something once - I looked at him one night, and thought to myself that his face looked awfully fluffy. Decided to attack him with the comb the following morning, and thought nothing more of it. Looked at him again some time later and thought his eyes looked awfully small and slanted, but figured it was because he was tired. Twenty minutes later, I realized that his cheeks, eyes, lips and neck were getting puffier by the hour. Oh. and this summer he had a cyst that had to be taken care of. And his microchip was moved - it had slid down from his neck to under his 'arm' - so we moved that while removing his cyst.... Of course, there was the neutering, last summer. And his knees are a little peculiar, so there were some xrays and testing that had to be done. Uhm, yeah - there has been some stuff....





Granted - The teeth was probably the most expensive procedure - around $500, I believe. But he's insured, so every issue that may arise, we only pay the first two hundred, then the insurance company takes care of the rest. (bless their souls) We also pay more usually because when he is knocked out, so to speak, we also make sure to clean his teeth if necessary, shave his face (crestie, after all) and clip his nails down if needed.





I think $1300 is A LOT for a tooth - have you considered insuring him? I find it odd that your vet can't pull it - try calling another vet, if you feel comfortable doing that - another vet might actually do it, rather than refer you to a specialist, who is bound to be pricier.





Good luck!!!

I'm 14 and I just had dental surgery. how can i face going to school on monday!!?

well i just had dental surgery and they pulled out 2 of my front teeth and i look horrible and they wont grow until january!! how can i face anyone at school??

I'm 14 and I just had dental surgery. how can i face going to school on monday!!?
wow..its amazing that i know exactly how you feel....i had dental surgery where they dug out 3 teeth and i had to go to school 2 weeks later...i felt horrible and embarassed...





what really encouraged me is knowing that i had friends who would stand up for me nomatter what and i kept saying to myself in the long run it is my education that i would be missing out on... so i sucked up my fear and anxiety and went to school and to my amazement it went a whole lot better than i thought...





the worst part is that i thought i looked horrible cause my entire jaw was inflammed and i could barely talk...many ppl asked me what was wrong and i told em and they actually wanted to see my stitches(i had about 18)....i was alot kooler than i thought....





maybe you should be a little less tougher on yourself.....i hope my experience helped
Reply:That is odd the dentist did not give you temporary teeth to put in until they grow (must be a reason) Not much you can do hun, deal with it till they come in! People are mean and tease just ignore them if they do! You may notice that no one really cares!
Reply:My boy at 14 you are not going to get two new front teeth next year, you got those two beauties when you were 7. So I do not know what dentist told you that you are going to get nwe front teeth next year, but he must be a quack. Well get some dentures.
Reply:I feel bad for you. I had braces at 17 and felt like I stuck out. If you have any true friends at school they wont care what you look like and will be there for you. Keep your head and be proud of who you are and try not to let the other kids bother you. If you show up with your head held high you will be ok, but if you act like it bothers you people will cause you more grief. Be proud of who you are and dont let missing 2 teeth bother you.
Reply:its not your fault, if people are mean to you tell them to grow the fk up nd get a life. if they're mean because you've had dental surgery which mean you'll probably have a badass smile when your older then thats there loss, because they just wont have you as a friend. and anyway january isnt THAT far away, and there are holidays comming up pretty soon. just dont worry, you'll be okay.





trutt me; in years youll think back and laugh about the time when you didnt have any front teeth.
Reply:Just by getting dental surgery shows how brave youare if u can do that than im sure you can face the kids at school as long as you have your true friends beside you then it shouldn't matter what the other kids say and when your teeth grow back im sure you will still feel the same way about yourself just have confidence and know your beautiful in god's eyes and that's all that matters
Reply:The best way to face this problem is just being yourself and not worry about how u look =).
Reply:screw 'em





you don't need the bad opinions of people at your school.





I've had four teeth pulled at one time.
Reply:They didn't give you temps. until Jan? That's strange..I'd check on that....
Reply:grow up
Reply:are they really your two front teeth? if not could you further explain what teeth they are because it would make more sense in a world of dentistry since the two permanent front teeth grow in at age 7-8.. if they were your canines ( the pointy ones ) which if this was the case, this happened to me also and you just get over it, say.. they are growing innnnn.. i mean seriously everyone has gone through but i know how cruel 14 year olds can be, so you just have to be strong yourself. good luck.
Reply:Don't smile, lol. J/K, that would be difficult to deal with... I remember in my sophmore year I had 4 molars pulled at once. It needed to be done because they were growing in sideways and would have made all my teeth crooked. They were impacted under bone, not just under the gums so I needed some major oral surgery. My face was swollen for weeks and my cheeks/ jaws were black and blue for a loooong time. I got teased so bad about it! People thought my parents beat me up!
Reply:Just act normal and if anyone asks, tell them you lost them while you were doing something cool like bungee jumping or while you were swimming with sharks. XD.


My friend needs help to pay for her dental surgery she is disabled and can not afford her surgery help please?

does anyone know of a program to help pay for oral surgery we have found a dentist but it will cost $3555 but we only have 13 days to come up with the money she is HIV pos. thanks to her second husband and can not work anymore due to other health problems so she is on a fixed income with 2 kids at home this problem has become medically neccesary due to weight loss but medicare and medicaid does not cover dental please someone help us thank you

My friend needs help to pay for her dental surgery she is disabled and can not afford her surgery help please?
I know of a discount dental benefit plan that would only cost her $11.95 per month. She could keep it for the first month and cancel after her surgery. If her dentist is on the provider list, she could save about half on the surgery. There is no pre-existing conditions and she would become covered the same day she signs up. Email me if you want more information. I hope this helps.
Reply:If your friend is disabled, she should be on a disability pension, in which case is she gets a referral from dental clinic (free on pension), to a dental surgeon, she will get it free. All dental clinics are free to pensioners. Another alternative is to find a dental clinic attached to a hospital, or visit the dental section of a University.
Reply:HELLO,


THERE ARE FEW OPTIONS HERE MAYBE CONTACT THE THE PARTMENT OF PUBLIC AID CAN HELP.
Reply:If there is a dental school close to you, they are usually looking for patients and will do the work at little or no cost. Also, some communities have a dental clinic with income based fee schedules - try your chamber of commerce and see if you have a free or no fee dental clinic for low income patients.
Reply:Please contact your state dental association and ask about participating in "Donated Dental Services," which is a charity care program designed specifically for patients such as you who are financially compromised due to medical problems. Free care exists if you know how to ask for it. Unfortunately, D.D.S. does not operate in all areas of the country, but hopefully there will be an office near you.

Any and all information on dental surgery to get permanent vampire fangs?

I am looking into getting dental surgery to get my canines into fangs. I'm looking for a very good and professional dentist, the price, and any after affects. (Did you like them? Was it hard to eat at first? Do you ever bite your own lips or tounge by accident? Do you regret it? etc.)

Any and all information on dental surgery to get permanent vampire fangs?
There are some dentists that will do it, but it costs around $1200 a fang. That's why it never gets done. *whines, and wishes for $2400*

Reply:I think you'll have a hard time finding a professional dentist to do this for a permanent basis.





It might be easier to simply contract vampirism, after which the fangs should grow in naturally. I suggest asking Yahoo Answers for suggestions on popular spots for the undead around your hometown.

The nice thing about major dental work is that they will probably give you a nice sedative (like IV valium) or at least nitrous oxide.


I do not like the dentist either, and though I generally am not a drug-taker, Loooo--ooove the Nitrous oxide. It actually makes the dentist a fun experience.

Reply:Dying is VERY unlikely. However your mouth is going to hurt for a day as the original painkiller wears off and you will need a prescription for something you can take at home to get rid of the ache of the extraction.





Tooth extraction is very common and complications are very rare. You need not be that anxious although tomorrow will not be the best day of your week.
Reply:You have to suck it up and remain positive. I know it's a bit scarey, but it's usually not as bad as we build it up to be. Tell your dentist your phobia, and let him/her decide which is the best agent to use for numbing, sleep, etc.


Those of us like you and me, fret and freak and get ourselves all worked up, and when the procedure is over we realize it wasn't all that bad,,, the hardest part is the stuff we put ourselves through worrying about it.

Is there a Dental Financing Aid that can help me pay for my 3 yr old Dental Surgery?

My 3 year old son had dental surgery. I owe money to the Dental Surgery Center. Is there a program that can help me pay this bill, or financial aid, healthcare financing plan. We are not low income. I have insurance, but unfortunally only covered less than half of the amount owed. Right now I'm on disability and can't afford to pay for this bill. I called the surgery center the payment plan they have is $627.50 a mo. for four months. I still can't affort it. I have good credit and don't want this bill to go to collections. Can someone please help me giving me advise. Thanks,

Is there a Dental Financing Aid that can help me pay for my 3 yr old Dental Surgery?
http://www.capitalonehealthcarefinance.c...
Reply:Call the center and tell them the amount you can afford to pay. After their collection time has passed, in this case 4 months, it will go to "collections" which will really be just a different place collecting the money. Continue to send in the prearranged amount to this new agency. As long as you continue to meet that agreed upon amount each and every month they are not legally able to report this on your credit history, they can only do it if you become delinquent or don't pay it at all. All that about needing large sums of money very quickly aren't exactly accurate. Good luck and make those payments regularly. Trust me, I've done this a multitude of times over the years, we have nine children and NO insurance of any kind.

Facial swelling aftre dental surgery?

4 weeks after oral surgery to remove impacted molar. Still having mild swelling of the cheeks, and a swollen, tender lymph node (end of jaw, under the ear). Is this normal? Should I be returning to the dental surgeon?

Facial swelling aftre dental surgery?
Yes. While it is normal for some swelling to last awhile, the swollen lymph node could indicate an infection.

How does hypertension affect dental surgery?

I have going to a dental college for evaluation for crowding teeth. Everytime I would visit the dentist, they would take my blood pressure and everytime it would read high. So they suggest I see a doctor, wherein it was confirmed that my blood pressure was high. I have been put in medication to bring it down, and it does go down incrementally. But I am anxious for the corrective dental (not only cosmetic, but I have a condition where the jaw bones have been slowly eroding since I was young) surgery. How does hypertension affect my health in prepartion for surgery?

How does hypertension affect dental surgery?
Blood pressure in itself isn't a major issue but it can slightly affect surgery. It may cause a little more bleeding than usual (not that much blood anyway) due to the pressure. Being anxious at a visit can do the same thing. Taking a mild sedative an hour or so before hand such as Valium can help. The only major thing I can think of affecting it would be the medication you have been put on, check with the DDS to see if it is an issue. Also ask your MD for suggestions about how to handle a dental surgery with high blood pressure.

Dental Surgery Question?

I know this is probably asked way too often, but I'm curious if anyone knows what a rough estimate cost would be for dental surgery. I have 2 teeth that never grew in that need to be brought down from inside my gums. The rest of my teeth just need to be straightened and maybe 1 filling redone. Then I need most of them to be straightened and lined up real nice. I have 28 teeth. (wisdom teeth gone). Anyone have any idea how much this would cost? Even a rough estimate would be appreciated. I can give more details if needed. Oh yea I forgot to mention, they all need to be bleached. Thanks in advance.

How much could the dentist charge me for a filling at the imperial college of london dental surgery department? Its the NHS and i dont get any benefits. Ive been once but i have to go back for the permanent filling.

Dental surgery london NHS. How much for a new filling?
About £43.00 on the NHS but that can be for 10 fillings as well for you £43.00 you should get your check-up x-rays, cleaning and any fillings that you want to have done hope that helps


My dental surgery paranoia?

I was just told today by my dentist that I am going to have to get dental surgery to remove all 4 wisdom teeth because they have no space to grow. when he said this i freaked out. i have never had any type of surgery in my life and it's one of my biggest fears. I guess I'd just like a few answers so I can stop freaking out when I probably shouldn't be...





1. can you be awake (but have a frozen mouth) for dental surgery? and if so would you recommend that or an anaesthetic?


2. what types of anaesthetics exist/which ones are the best?


3. how long would my surgery last?


4. this might be a stupid question but rememebr im paranoid.. can anaesthetics kill you?


5. what kind of post-surgery pain should i expect?


6. i had braces and although they were quite unbearable i didnt find them to be THAT bad, will the surgery be worse?





please share stories, it would really help... im really scared.. mostly because of the anaesthetic


thankss!

My dental surgery paranoia?
1. Yes, you can be awake for the surgery. But, I had all four of mine taken out, and was put "under" with laughing gas.





2. I personally did not have any issues with the gas, but I remember that it made me hear repeating sounds. But, all outcomes are different for different people.





3. I was out for only an hour and a half. But, it depends on if your teeth cooperate with your dentist and don't give him a hard time.





4. Yes, anaesthetics can kill you.





5. After mine, I was stiched up, and stuffed with gauze. Your mouth will probably feel blown up and bruised. Hopefully, your dentist will prescribe you some Codeine-3 to reduce a little bit of the pain.





6. I haven't had braces, but I will be getting Invisaligns in the next month. My boyfriend had braces when he had his wisdom teeth taken out, and I had never heard him complain so much about pain. But, thankfully, the pain only will last you a short time. Mine lasted a week!





Good luck and I hope everything goes well!
Reply:1. Yes, they can use local anesthetics instead of putting you to sleep. If you are afraid of the surgery already, being awake to hear the teeth being cracked apart and taken out and feeling the tugging may not be in your best interest. But if you feel you can take this and really dont want to go under than you can ask about it


2. For wisdom tooth removal, they can put you on IV sedation, with which you are completely out so that you dont hear/see/feel a thing, they can give you local only so that your mouth is numb but you are awake. With local only there are different types of anesthetics. they use a long lasting one since the surgery may take a while.


3. If you have an experienced dentist doing this it shouldnt take more than an hour. It sounds like your teeth are still under your gums, impacted. They will have to cut open the gums and take the teeth out. depending on the shape of the tooth and roots, they may need to break the teeth first so that they can get them out. then they will sew you back up.


4. Yes, an overdose of local can kill, as well as being under IV sedation, if there is no one that is watching your vitals. IV sedation is riskier, however, oral surgeons are well trained in this area, as wisdom tooth removal is done a lot today. The risk of any complications from anesthetics with getting your wisdom teeth removed is quite low.


5. Post-surgery, there will be swelling and bleeding. There will be quite a bit of pain but the dentists should provide you with strong pain killers. Some people dont feel much pain, others feel a lot, it depends on the person. Some people dont swell up at all, others look like chipmunks afterwards.


6. Well braces are a long term pain, while the surgery pain should last a week or less. The amount of pain is probably worse with surgery but thats why you get strong pain killers.





Talk to your dentist or oral surgeon about your fears. She/he should walk you through the procedure and quell your fears of anesthetic. I dont think you should be too worried about this. If the wisdom teeth have no room to come in, they will start to be quite painful and can develop horrible cysts and infections that would just be a worse pain to deal with than getting them removed. Good luck!
Reply:I was conscious during my wisdom teeth extraction. I had some kind of IV sedation (valium?) which allowed me to stay conscious while taking away any care of the world. When he took out the needle I wanted him to put it back in! LOL.





It took about a little over an hour. I had no pain or swelling afterwards. I was pleasantly surprised.





Go to someone that specializes in it. I remembered he showed me a short video that explained everything, and then answered my questions before scheduling the appointment. Make sure to line up someone to take you home.








I hate "sleep sedation". I did that for a regular tooth extraction and it was awful. I kept waking up, and he kept increasing the doseage. When I got home, I ended up sleeping for 3 days straight. Now, I avoid anything that makes me sleep.


Dental surgery?

I have two teeth that stick out like vampire fangs, I hate them they really get to me, what can I do about correcting them and is it expensive? Please help :-( I'm 20 years old and it's really affecting my confidence, they've always been this way but lately it's been getting to me more and more

Dental surgery?
First, you are NOT your teeth. There are guys out there who are gonna think, "hey, she's a vampire girl...that's kinda HOT!" :) Seriously, my wife thought my spaces were "kind of cute" back in the day. Sometimes our imperfections draw people to us.





If it bothers you to that extent, see an orthodontist. It probably won't be cheap though. An "average" course of treatment ranges from $2k - $5k depending on where you are and what else needs to be corrected.
Reply:Is it a orthodontic problem or are they just longer than you like? if they are longer than you like i wouldn't know what you could do, would you want to risk root canal treatments from postoperative complications from a procedure such as a crown. crowns are about $1000 ea but you have to remove so much healthy tooth structure and nothing in dentistry is long term fix
Reply:My sister has the same thing but she has one fang, not two. Last week, she just got her braces to fix that. What they will do is, give you braces, extract the baby tooth that the fang was suppose to replace. Then, since her fang is not directly above that baby tooth, the braces will help pull the next tooth over to replace that space of extracted baby tooth and the fang will be pulled down directly where it is now. And 20 is no big deal, my twin and I are 30 this year!!! Fix yours now, so you don't have to deal with it at 30!!! ;)





I'll be getting mine sometime soon, but will be requiring more work. At least u have fangs, mine never came out so they will have to EXPOSE my perm teeth meaning they will cut into my gums to pull them down. :(

Dental surgery??

im very interested in having cosmetic dentistry performed on my teeth as im very paranoid about them i was wondering if anyone has had the surgery done themselves or even considering it.





any stories or advice welcome please.

Dental surgery??
Implants cost the earth. They are cheaper abroad, but not always if you lose time off work as you have to make several visits. Unless you can afford it, teeth whitening kits are probably a good alternative. Good luck
Reply:I'm sorry but last time I had it done he drilled half of my teeth out with a rusty chisel and assaulted my battery
Reply:mad you should ask this question, i went for a consultation on monday last week. the place is called The Mall in Manchester. sounds great, dead fancy surgery, but the prices blew me away and made me do anything but smile! they said doing the orthodontic appraoch and getting one of these "clear/invisible" braces, then whitening my teeth after they're straightened (1 -2 years) this they quoted £3,000 - £3,500 or for veneers or ceramic teeth, can be done in a few sessions, they quoted me £5,000 - £6,000. Pretty expensive procedure, but these quotes were based on me probably needing 8 veneers!!





Hope this helps, visit their website for more info, or do a google search on"cosmetic dentistry".





Good luck and keep smiling. :D





I've actually decided to buy a home teeth whitening kit from boots £18-£20, then i'm gonna speak to my local detist about the invisible brace as i know it'll be a damn sight cheaper through them!!
Reply:I have had veneers fitted to my front teeth, which was done for medical reasons. Veneers are a lot like false nails for your teeth and this is one of the commonest forms of dental cosmetic surgery since it covers blemishes and they can be made to reduce gaps between teeth and improve alignment without the need for braces.





To have veneers fitted first the dentist has to file off the original enamel layer from your teeth. What is left is a sort of sanded down version that feels rough on the tongue. The veneers are then simply glued onto the tooth and cured with a UV light. The process is quick and not painful.





So this sounds great right? Nevertheless its not something I would readily recommend. Here are the reasons.





Firstly, veneers are not as strong as your original teeth. This means that things like biting straight into apples becomes a thing of the past (if you want your veneers to last that is!). Secondly, like false nails veneers can and will pop off sometimes (depending on how careful you have been with them. It takes a couple of years for mine to come off usually but I am ultra-careful). When they do come off, if unbroken, they can be glued back on. But the second time is never as secure and it will come off again more and more until you need to get it remade. Thirdly, on the NHS, it costs approx £80 for one replacement veneer so breakages are expensive. You are also left with an uncomfortably rough and sensitive tooth for the days-week it takes for the dental lab to make a custom shaped replacement.





So my advice is this. If you have terrible looking teeth, and you are quite well off, then go for it. If however you are considering dental surgery because you think it might make your teeth a bit nicer but not a lot then I would say save your cash. If your teeth are healthy then take care of them and have chemical whitening or something instead.





Hope this helps.
Reply:Well I'd hated my teeth for years-am now 23. I refused orthodontic treatment when I was younger due to fear of having teeth removed.


While I was at uni I decided to have them straightened.


I had 4 teeth removed and braces put on in May (not as bad as I thought would be) My teeth are looking loads better-and I'm happier in myself. Yeah it is expensive, but most orthodontists will arrange a payment plan-which is what I'm doing.

Reply:Depends on what your considering cosmetic. Are you talking about getting implants, venners, luminners, a bridge etc?? Most offices today can actaully show you what your teeth will look like if you were to have your teeth enchanced with cosmetic dentistry, either with pictures, or an actaul impression they took from your existing teeth. Cosmetic dentistry is amazing, I've had it done, as I'm also very priviledged to preform it on others =)


Look into cost, take a look at before and after pictures the denstist has in his/her office, look into the offices referals from previous patients who have had the work your thinking about done.
Reply:If you are looking for porcelain veneers in cosmetic dentistry, then it is no big deal to be paranoid about. If you have been advised jaw (orthognathic) surgery, I am sure your dentist would have discussed all the options, including sedation dentistry. Some post operation pain can be expected just for a few days. Just create your own real story to build confidence level in others.

In the end, you'll have a beautiful smile. Stay focused on the long term goal.





You're not going to like it though, I promise you. It doesn't sound nice. Ask your dentist about the procedure, and if he can give you some medicine to help you get through it. In the long-term, it may be beneficial for your dental health. Dental visits in the future may be more pleasant if your anxiety for this procedure is addressed. It's no big deal, just be honest. If he doesn't want to spend time with you, he's not helping you. Oral Surgeons are trained for medicating during medical procedures, and have more qualifications that orthos and normal dentists. Request one, if you need to.

i have 2 molers that cant be fix and they total disappeared leaving bad root in gums so i need surgery to extract both plus i need bone scraping has anyone had this and how bad is this surgery? i well be awake for this process


Dental Surgery?

I just got surgery done where they pulled out 3 baby teeth and put chains to be pulled down on 2 of them. The surgery was done yesterday. The swelling wasnt bad and as the day went on, the swelling went down. But I woke up today and the swelling is still unbelevable. If I keep ice on it, do you think the swelling will be gone by tomorrow morning so I can go bak to school?

Dental Surgery?
Swelling after dental surgery usually lasts 2-3 days later (for adults), depending on how much was done. After the third day, swelling decreases. If those teeth were indeed baby teeth, your swelling tomoorow should be minimal.

how many dental surgery procedures are performed in the United States a year

Dental surgery?
Nah, I think it's more like 30-40 MILLION. I can't find a number on the ADA site, but I did see that there were 176,000-some dentists in some form of active practice in 2001.





Let's say that there are about 175,000 dentists in practice of some form in the US. Let's say most do some surgery at least once every day. Some are surgeons, so that would make up for the dentists that don't do any surgery. (By "surgery," I am including dental extractions.) An "easy" work year is 200 days.





175,000 dentists x 200 working days x 1 surgery per day = 35 million a year
Reply:I would say 500,000 dental surgery procedure are performed in the United States in one year.


Dental Surgery?

Hi my daughter is 4 and will be having dental surgery next month, the dr said it's because she needs a lot of fillings and she is too young to understand that she can't move while they are being filled in and will be scared. She said that it's the best way to have done. We have been waiting for over 1 yr to get this date and now I am nervous.


Has anyone any experience. Did u have any problems?

Dental Surgery?
I am a Dental hygienist, and we recommend this tx a lot. she will be great. It is a very common procedure. It's better that she not remember anything, and to have a good experience. Children her age cannot sit still for a long period of time. She will feel like the procedure went fast and painless. I am assuming she will have general anesthetic/ or nitrous oxide(laughing gas)...It is worse for a child her age to have a bad experience that makes her weary and frightened of the dentist, so that she will think negatively about it and be fearful. this way she will remember that it wasn't bad at all...and feel calm about it..hope this helps. She should sail through this...honestly no need to worry...I have helped with thousands of these procedures
Reply:i had a surgery done and just relax she will be fine just buy her something little to cheer her up =]

How many times in a day should you rinse your mouth with salt water after dental surgery?

Dental surgery?
You can rinse with water and salt 3 to 4 times a day. But not for the first 24 hours when the blood cloth is forming.





So 3 to 4 times a day, starting 24 hours after the surgery.

Reply:DONT GARGLE FOR FIRST 24 HOURS AFTER SURGERY. FROM THE SECOND DAY ONWARDS YOU CAN GARRLE WITH SALT WATER EVERY THREE-FOUR HOURS

My 3 yr old daughter is being put to sleep to have some teeth extracted and a couple teeth filled. They say that she cannot eat or drink past midnight the night before but the surgery is not until 11:30. Will she be starving? Is this healthy for her to not eat breakfast or lunch and then have surgery? Also, she has a big apetite, what should I do so that she wont be upset that she cant eat?





I asked this question already and it was in the dental section but I am putting it in this section b/c I think more mommies will be able to read it here. Thanks.

Dental surgery??
it shouldn't be too bad. it's definitely not healthy to do that all the time, but once in awhile won't hurt her at all. she'll just be hungry. it's better to know have food in the stomach prior to surgery, so nothing gets complicated.
Reply:Ii had the same thing happened to me when I was three" dental surgery" ....I don't know what my mom did but I don't remember a thing,as long as you try to make it as least traumatic for her I think she won't even remember.





Oh p.s she won't remember not eating for that one morning either ,just make sure she is healthily fed for the rest of her life when you can help it,....also she won't starve from missing only one meal.





oh and You down there I didn't give you a thumbs down....but there is many many different reasons why a small child could need dental surgery.... I was sick at birth and the meds+illness damage my developing adult teeth and my baby ones as well.No ones fault.
Reply:She will probably be hungry but she needs an empty stomach for a general anesthetic so do not give her anything. And its not really any of my business but why does your 3 yr old need such extensive dental work already?
Reply:Please check with the doctor. The danger of having food in her stomach is the possibility she may vomit under the anesthesia and aspirate it into her lungs.





Ask if chicken broth or something like that is OK. Remind them of the child's age.





Whatever you do, you need to have an informed medical opinion - you do not want to take a chance with your child's health.
Reply:It's going to be hard on her but not eating like that once in a while shouldn't hurt her. She's probably not going to understand why she can't eat but just try to explain to her that since she is going to get her teeth fixed, she can't eat until a little after they get done. And in order for them to do a good job, she needs to be good and not eat like the dr. said. She's going to need a lot of comfort so I would plan on holding her a lot and giving her lots of hugs. Good luck and hope it helps a little.

Dental Surgery?

My 12 years old cat is going for surgery. I have to call the vet to ask a few questions and costs. Has any had their kitty have dental surgery (tooth extraction). How much was it? It is stressful? How long will it take for him to get better?

Dental Surgery?
We've had teeth taken out on three of our cats (broken canine, hole in tooth, loose tooth, cracked tooth). The cats did great, and healing was pretty fast. The cats all got a pain medication to be given, because it was painful for the first few days--it was a liquid I think.





The extractions were about $150 for Fred's broken canine, $180 for two teeth out of Hershey (loose in sockets), and $100 for Merlin (hole in tooth). The majority of the cost is for the anesthetic and the person watching the vitals on the cat while the vet is doing the extraction. Multiple teeth done at the same time are not much more, it's the duration of the time the cat is under, any kennel fees for them being observed as they come out of the anesthetic, and anything given for the pain there at the vets. A lot of factors come into play. Our vets charge by the minute for operations (something I didn't know till recently), but the pre %26amp; post op care is a standard fee -- itemized on the bill.





The cats LOVED not having pain in their mouth anymore, and readily ate soft food soon as they got home. Hard food is held off for a few days till their gums have time to heal over.
Reply:I have never had a cat have dental surgery, but I have had a small dog have dental surgery. I would never, ever have this done to any cat or dog of mine. However, I did have a bad experience with the vet,, and I should not reflect on your question, except to say be very careful and be absolutley sure you trust your vet. and their staff. My sm. dog had complications, and pain, and a totally bad outcome. The cost was similar to the cost of my dentist's charges for tooth extraction, and anesthesia, plus after care. Please be sure that you do get a pain medication for your cat just in case. Wishing you the best for your kitty with it's dental surgery. I would like to hear that all is well after. PS My cat got a fractured shoulder which my vet said was very painful and he gave her pre filled syringes of Buprenorphine with instructions to give1 ml or 1 prefilled syringe by mouth twice a day for 7 days. I had to call and get a 2nd Rx for 7 more days, but only had to give it for 5 additional days, but I had it on hand if I needed it. cokoko
Reply:My 2 year old kitty went through this recently. He went in for a teeth cleaning and ended up having to have 4 teeth extracted (he has a bad case of periodontal disease). Is your cat getting all of his teeth extracted? If so, I don't know a lot about that, but I do know how it went for my cat to have just the 4 pulled. The cost was a little over $200 for blood work, the teeth cleaning, extractions, and medication.





I took him into the vet's office at 8 a.m. and he was done that same day by 3 p.m. At first he was very drowsy and slept most of the time. His vet advised me to feed him wet/soft food only for the first 2 weeks after surgery his gums could heal properly. He also sent me home with pain medication, enough for 2 days, along with an antibiotic that was to be given twice per day for a week. I'd have to say that giving him his medication was the most stressful part. Basically I had to hold him down and had to squirt it down his throat, otherwise the medicine would get everywhere except for his mouth. Also, right after its in his mouth, it helps to gently stroke his throat. This is supposed to help them to swallow it a bit better.





As for the healing time, I think it varies a bit from cat to cat. Mine was pretty quiet and sleepy for the first 4-5 days, but after that he seemed to be back to his normal self, except he could not eat his hard food (which he loves). After the 2 weeks were up though, he was very happy to have his regular food back and his vet said he was 100% healed =) If you brush his teeth though, you may want to wait a bit before starting that again. I'm not sure how long, it'd be a good idea to ask your vet.





Good luck to you and your cat! I hope his surgery goes well and he is able to heal quickly and properly. As long as he has a good vet and the right care, he will be just fine =)
Reply:my cat is 16 years old and has had her teeth checked and if needed , cleaned, every year since she was about 6. last time she had to have 4 teeth pulled, so she had a sore mouth for a while and had to take pain medication for a few days. she has trouble eating dry food now since she has probably had 8 or 9 teeth pulled over the years,so she gets a can of fancy feast 3x a day. it ran about $200 and was probably more stressful on me this last time than it was her. i was worried that at her age she wouldn't wake up. that is always a risk with any surgery, but she is getting up there in age. also i would ask the vet about doing bloodwork to make sure her kidneys, liver, etc are in good shape before putting her under anesthesia. it will probably run about another $50 but at least it does ease your mind a bit. good luck - i'll be thinking of you


Dental Surgery!!!?

today i will be having dental surgery (i will be pulling out my molars~ all of 'em!) so any tips for staying calm, and what to do after the surgery. 'cuz i am like really scared. (they will put me to sleep for the surgery though...)

Dental Surgery!!!?
if there putting you to seep you will be fine. i had the same surgery about 10 yrs ago.


Good luck, and dont be scared, you will be ok :)


when you go home you will probably sleep a bit more. when yo eat eat jello's puddings etc. My dentist had me drink a slim fast for a day or two after the surgery to get nutrients and vitamins.


you dentist will go over all this with your mom or whoever takes you. good luck
Reply:i had my wisdom theeth taking out last summer. They put me a shot so my theeth would go to sleep. I would of recommend to take the two molar theeth instead of all 4. Sometimes you will feel what they are doing and sometimes you don't. Try not to think about it and close your eyes, try to fall asleep. When you get home rinse your mouth or do gargle with Linsterstine and that will help to stop the bleeding after the surgery.


Dental surgery?

If a person had a root canal, and that root canal went bad after years, and the denstist suggested that the person needed surgery to deal with the infection that happened from that, and the surgery did not work out well, so now the denstist said that the person should see an endo-dental professional for perhaps implants... how long should the person wait to get more endo surgery, and how painful is it, and what is the outcome?

Dental surgery?
If you have any choice, go for dental implants; I have them, and they're great.





The procedure sounds gruesome, but if you have a good oral surgeon, it's not bad at all.





The surgery starts with the docor giving you several shots in and around where they're going to operate. Once you're numb, the cut back your gums in an 'X' pattern whereever they're going to install the implants. Then they use an irrigated drill to dill a hole in your jawbone. The irrigated drill may scare you into thinking that you're bleeding like crazy, but it's just water. Then, they take a small cylinder with holes drilled in it and cover it in a bone graft powder and insert it into the hole with part of the cylinder. They then put a cap on the top of the cylinder and stitch your gums back. After everything heals, they remove the cap and replace it with special hardware that you false teeth are permanently attached to.





The recovery isn't taht bad, my doc prescibed an antibiotic and a painkiller which both lasted for two weeks. I only took the painkillers for 4 days, after which I just took 1 tylenol before going to bed. The first day or two will be bad, but the swelling is minimal, and you should be back to normal in less than a week.





The falsies can't be taken out, but you don't have to take any special care other than regular brushing and flossing and rinsing very thoroughly to make sure nothing gets trapped between the implant tooth and the gumline.
Reply:you have to take anthibiotics if you have an infection, but the person doesn´t have to wait, should go right now! the outcome is exellent he´ll not regret!


I have 3 implants, they are expensive but I´m very well


good luck
