Do dental and orthodontics school students offer to do jaw surgery for free?

Does anybody know if Dental and Orthodontics schools have a program where their student will perform lower jaw surgery for free or a discounted rate?

Do dental and orthodontics school students offer to do jaw surgery for free?
If you really need jaw surgery, it will not be done by a 'student' - it would be done by an oral surgery resident. a resident is someone who has a doctorate, but is training in a specialty, such as oral /maxillofacial surgery. they are the best of the best to even get INTO those programs AND they're monitorred by attending doctors.





If you watch, say, House or ER on TV, you'll see residents -- they aren't as smart as the older docs, but they're still capable of saving lives and all that good stuff.





So, call the dental school, explain what you need and they'll set you up a referral. you will have ot talk to the docs in that program with some sort of xrays and consultation; after that they'll be able to give you an idea of how much it will cost. DEFINITELY less than in teh private sector, for sure.
Reply:Around here they do. Why don't you just call the schools in your area and ask if they offer a program like that? What could it hurt. If anything, you could probably have the procedure done at a lower price.
Reply:would you trust them too????
Reply:There are dental schools at university that do low cost and no cost procedures. Generally, the waiting list is VERY long and the procedures performed are at the skill level of students who are being monitored by Dentists who have already graduated and teach at the school.





Call the local university which has a dental school near you and they can advise you about their policies for patient care.





If you are in a dire circumstance, call your county health department for a referral.





Good luck.
Reply:Orthodontists and dentists cannot perform jaw surgeries. This type of surgery is performed by medical doctors who specialize in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. You may be able to find medical schools that have clinics that would offer reduced pricing. I did a quick Google search and have included a link below that provides an example of this type of clinic. Whatever you decide, med school clinic or licensed MD, make sure you do some research before you have this surgery. There are many risks with this type of surgery, including short term numbness (common), long term numbness, and facial paralysis (rare) because of the nerves that run through your jaw. If you choose to go with a medical school clinic, make sure that the procedure will be fully supervised by an experienced oral surgeon. Good luck! If you decide to go through with the surgery, you should check out yahoo groups. They have some excellent orthognatic (and related) surgery communities.
Reply:You need an oral surgeon. An orthodontist or dentist cannot perform jaw surgery.





I understand that dental procedures are quite expensive, but are you that desperate?


Dental gum lift surgery?

How much is it? Did you like your results???? I absolutely hate my little teeth and need something done about them!!!!!!...They ruin my whole smile!

Dental gum lift surgery?
I think you are asking about electrosurgery for your gums. The dentist needs to check if you have excess tissue covering your teeth. If so, it can be reshaped so that the teeth appear larger. It is a bloodless procedure and the results are great!

Dental surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.





Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.


They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Is there any dental clinic providing free or discounted gum graft surgery in L.A.?

I already overused my dental insurance this year. the Graft surgery from my current dentist cost more than $900 per tooth. Any clinic offering better price than this?

Is there any dental clinic providing free or discounted gum graft surgery in L.A.?
You might want to check dental/assistance schools....some offer excellent discounts for dentist who are training or must preform a certain amount of such surgeries to become certified..my daughter is a hygienist and when her dentist began dental implants they offers 60-70% discount...so I imagine somewhere would offer gum graph surgery discount..good luck.

Reply:I may not give you the direct answer but I would like to recommend Thailand which price is very competitive and high standard. Many dentists are graduated and well trained in Western countries such as USA. Many of them are American Board in their related field. You may see the reference in CBS TV'60 minutes and in Time magazine. Hospital and clinic are world class standard. The price of implant are estimated from USD 2,050 - USD 2,565. Hotel rate in Thailand start from USD 20 up to 3-5 stars. If you need more details, please feel free to contact me at wichayaneec@yahoo.com


What would you do in my dental situation? Jaw surgery or only braces?

I am a 15 year old girl. I do not have an obvious under or over bite. I actually have a slight cross bite, but nothing obvious or really out of the ordinary.





If I do not get jaw surgery and only get braces, I will only have three of my four front lower teeth (Very long story short, I would have an overbite if they didn't pull a tooth.). One will be right in the middle. Noone will notice this, but I am afraid that I will be insecure about it forever afterwards.





If I get the surgery my bite will be perfect. My family has the money for it, but I am scared that getting this surgery would be compleatly vein of me. I am scared that I won't like the results (even though every singly before and after picture I have seen is great!). I am scared that I won't feel like myself afterwards.

What would you do in my dental situation? Jaw surgery or only braces?
The best option would be the extraction approach. My sister and I are both dentists and explored both options thoroughly. The extraction fixed appliances option was the best. She has recently completed her orthodontic therapy and although she thought that she would be conscious about it, she isn't. She has a great result. With the ideal smile your lower lip covers majority of your lower teeth so the only time someone will notice is when they get into your personal space, by this time i'm sure you would know the person well enough.lol.


Good Luck

Reply:I'd Go With The Braces.


They Take Out A Few Teeth


Anyways So That Would Be


The Best To Go With..Well For Me.
Reply:I say if you don't look bad the way it is, and it isn't affecting the way you eat, or breathe, or affecting you in anyway, then don't have the surgery. Your very young and you have plenty of time to make this decision. If your not one that is into perfection, then leave it alone. Good luck.
Reply:Well I have braces right now, and it is a long process. So if you want fast progress I would go for the surgery. If you get braces it will be cheaper and worth the wait. If you get the surgery it might be faster but a little pain full, and worth the pain. so just think about it and talk to your parents and decide whats best. Hope everything works out
Reply:no - they aren't going to do surgery on your jaw unless there is a functional gain to be made or unless the cosmetic difference is huge but most of the time it is both.





it isn't vain. When I was young I never gave myself permission to help myself, and now I'm pretty much losing all my teeth, I wish I would have done all this when I had the chance. it is so upsetting. My lower jaw never got fixed, and my jaw hurts all the time.





They don't just do jaw surgery on everyone, if you need it then do it - and be thankful - not everyone has that opportunity.

Dental care before surgery?

dental extractionhealingtime before an operation

Dental care before surgery?
Depends - (A) which teeth are you getting extracted? If wisdom teeth 3-6 weeks (That again depends on the angle and locations of tooth to be extracted). Front teeth tend to heal faster than the the back. (B) How is your overall general health? - If you are diabetic you will heal slower. (C) What kind of surgery are will you going through? - for minor surgery it is not a bid deal. but if the surgery is followed by any kind of radiation, make sure your extraction sockets are completely healed before surgery. (D) finally, make sure your bleeding from extraction sockets is healed completely before taking any kind of pain medication (such as Aspirin. Aspirin prevent platelet aggregation and you may be prone to bleeding). Make sure you are not taking any anti coagulants (i.e blood thinners which is common in patients with heart condition). Good luck with your extractions and surgery.

Anyone know how to find free oral/dental cosmetic surgery?

I can't say that there are any free oral/dental . . but you might try your local Oral/Dental Colleges. They have to start somewhere right? They do charge a fee but I do believe it is less expensive. Good Luck.

Anyone know how to find free oral/dental cosmetic surgery?
I don't think there is a such thing. I have had a few oral surgeries, and I have had to pay for them. If you are in Canada, and it can be done in the hospital, then that portion is covered... about 60-80%... depending. But you will still have to pay the surgeon for their "lab fees" and for doing the job. Its best to look into it and see what they say is best...





Besides, it is claimable on your income tax!

How long do you experience pain after dental implant surgery?

My dentist said it could take up to a month to aclimate to the new implant. Had the one done, 2 weeks later would have never known that tooth was ever missing. Had the next one done, and my dentist still didn't understand why it's still killing me after 5 months. It's now been a little over a year, and although it still hurts, it's pretty lowgrade and still improving. But I still think it was worthwhile. Just my experience, hope yours is better.

How long do you experience pain after dental implant surgery?
Pain?? there should be no pain. uh uh nooooo, no pain!! You may be a little sore but no pain. Nothing 2 advils cant fix. Go back to your dentist IMMEDIATELY and find out if you got an infection. The ONLY area that should be a tad bit sore is where he placed the suture to close the implant. And that shouldnt be enough to cause pain. See your dentist!!!!


Can I get Vampire like Canines through dental cosmetic surgery?

LOL~ why waste the time having surgery when your dentist can just make 'temporary' teeth over your existing ones.... and they're removable!

Can I get Vampire like Canines through dental cosmetic surgery?
yes. I think the real question should be why the hell would you want them.
Reply:You can get them at home. A chisel, sandpaper, and a glass of chilled water and rags are all you will need....Oh and be sure to set aside about 4 hours of time to perform your work. Best o luck!
Reply:yes. they can put veneers on your teeth that are like vampire teeth, or you can have them filed to shape. you can also get custom made sets that are molded to fit your teeth perfectly and look extremely realistic.
Reply:You can get anything you want if you have the money to shell out but why would you want them?
Reply:You can, yes. However, you will have a difficult time eating, and will be biting your lips all the time. It's probably going to be painful.





Also, you'll need to find a dentist willing to ruin your bite for those 'teeth'.
Reply:i have vampire like canines and its all natural.


anything is possible nowadays in science. ever heard about lion man, tiger man, lizard man, and cheetah man? all of them made changes in their teeth through dental surgery.
Reply:If you want to
Reply:Yes cosmetic dentists can shape your teeth how ever you want. If you want longer ones you could get implants ($10,000), major surgery and probably have to replace them every 10 years or so.





Do you want to look cool or actually use them to drink blood. Most modern day ritualistic vampires don't draw blood that way.





Buy the overlays and glue them on when you want.
Reply:Sure you can! I would suggest you try the fake ones first tho to see how you like them.


Where can I find a Dental plan that covers oral surgery?

I need to find a dental plan that will cover atleast 70% of oral surgery for having my wisdom teeth removed. Or find a dentist office that will give me a payment plan. My major problem is the dentist offices that are around me want all of the money up front. Someone please help I'm in pain!!

Where can I find a Dental plan that covers oral surgery?
If you have medical insurance they usally cover oral surgery. Also try getting credit through a company called care credit, its mostly used for things insurance won't cover and they will let you make payments just like a credit card company will. www.carecredit.com. I work at a dental office and alot of our patients apply for this service and are very happy to be able to get there work done. sometimes they offer a plan where its not interest for at least 18months. its an option hope it works for you.

Anyone ever had dental cosmetic surgery to fix a 'gummy' smile?

I just want to know pricing and what it was like. I don't have a gummy smile really, its just in the sides of my mouth when I smile I can see a bit of gum that I don't like. I'm not even sure if a dentist would do it, its such a small amount. but it bothers me, so no harm in trying right?

Anyone ever had dental cosmetic surgery to fix a 'gummy' smile?
Basically the procedure in which would be performed is called a Gingivoplasty. It entails recontouring/reshaping the gingival tissue. Most dentists will use a instrument which trims the tissues by cauterizes them. You'll experience a few days of mild discomfort, but the results will be almost immediate. Good luck.


Ever had dental implant surgery?

I am due to have my front tooth extracted tomorrow, and then the first stage (of 2) of the implant process. The titanium post will be implanted and then I will wear a "flipper/temporary" for 3 months.


My question- is this usually a painless procedure? I will have local anesthsia (numbing) and I was told I could go back to work after. Is it generally this easy/standard?


Yes, I am a wimp and I am trying to get up my guts for this.

Ever had dental implant surgery?
Spaceboy, my dad is a retired Dentist. Nothing is painless, but you wont feel it until the local wears off. I know my dad did not use *gas* and only used locals. With any dental work like that you will have soreness and some pain, but in this day and age most Drs will prescribe plenty of pain medication that will take that away from you. You will have a few days of discomfort.

What the costs of a nose job, lasik eye surgery ,dental sugery?

the nose job is just to make my nose straighter,


lasik for both eyes


i would like to make my 2 front teeth smaller, remove wisdom teeth,recieve braces to straighten my teeth and also whitening.

What the costs of a nose job, lasik eye surgery ,dental sugery?
Wow. Hope you have lots of money. Costs vary from location to location, so these are just general figures. Nose job (Rhinoplasty) costs in the neighborhood of $3500. Industry sources report that the average LASIK price in the second and third quarters of 2006 was about $1,950. To make your front teeth smaller would require crowns, at a cost of around $600 each. Wisdom teeth removal depends on how complicated the surgery will be and run from $150 a tooth to $400-$500 if impacted. Braces cost from $3000-$5000 and teeth whitening costs in the neighborhood of $500-$600. All totalled, your changes would cost a minimum of $11,000 and up to $14000.
Reply:i got a nose job and it cost me $6000 Canadian dollars. I have no regrets and it was the best thing i did. I had no pain besides being nauxious for a couple of days. Good luck

Dental Insurance wont cover surgery?

I have a really bad cavity on my upper right wisdom tooth that needs to be taken out, but the oral surgeon that I want to do the surgery does not particapate with my Dental Insurance. What can I do? I can not afford to pay out-of -pocket.

Dental Insurance wont cover surgery?
See if they will accept assignment of benefits from you (so the payment goes directly to them). Call your insurance company and find out approximately how much they will cover, and you pay the difference up front. (You'll need to get the procedure codes from the office). Once the payment is received from the insurance company, if you still owe a balance you will be billed for it.





Orrrrrrrrrr talk to others that have used one of the surgeons that do participate in your plan, but remember that just because they participate, it doesn't mean you will not have any out-of-pocket expenses.





Good luck!
Reply:Look for another surgeon that participated in your Dental Insurance. Or get a new job that offers a dental insurance program that your desired surgeon participated in?
Reply:Look for another Oral Surgeon that does take your insurance or look for a General Dentist that takes out wisdom teeth also. Call your insurance and ask them what other Oral Surgeons are in-network and if they are out of network will the ins. cover a portion of costs. If you are not paranoid about the dentist and do not require conscious sedation and your wisdom tooth is coming out vertically...then a General Dentist may be able to take it out for you.

Dental procedures/Surgery -reg?
Rotten teeth are not good for you. They are rife with germs and puts you at risk for worse conditions, and there are no medicines you can take or home care you can do to make rotten teeth better. Get those pulled as soon as possible.





Sometimes it is possible for your dentist to make you "immediate dentures" that are put in the same day you have the rotten teeth pulled so you won't have to go without teeth. Visit your dentist for a consultation so this can be planned in advance of your extraction (if it is appropriate for your situation).





Whatever you do, get rid of those rotten teeth pronto.





Good luck.
Reply:There is not much more you can do to save them now.Get them out before anything big happens.I mean sever infection,cracking roots.You can have implants insted.They are a bit expensive.I guess you gonna pay the price for letting your teeth go for so long.
Reply:dentures are better than rotten infected teeth. oh, and the word is masticate not mastigate.
Reply:hi, iam a dentist......


i think u better get them removed, before the infection spreads to your other teeth n gums. n once the teeth are extracted, the doctor will check, whether your gum has been infected or not, if yes then they may treat the gum first and then think of giving an artificial tooth.if the gums are not infected, then they will proceed with artificial replacement of the missing teeth.now a days are many materials used for making artificial teeth,like metals, ceramics etc., u can choose basing on their cost.





REMEMBER, never a dentist will want to leave the patient without artificial replacemrnt after an extraction, coz it not only affects your mastication, bt ur jaws get dropped down in long run, persons without molars get a fold on their cheeks.

How much will it cost for a flap surgery? [Dental & India]?

Hi All,





The dentist advised me to go for a flap surgery but I am guessing that he is asking too much, he is charging Rs. 10,000 for all the four quadrants.





Is it nominal? or is it too expensive?





Is it going to be a painful surgery? cause he was saying that it will be normal...





And what are the side effects of this surgery? Is it advised to go for this surgery? cause for most of them the actual pain and misery starts after the surgery.





I thank in advance for any suggestions... :)





Have a nice time!





Thank you,


Leo

What do oral surgery dental assistants do?

what do they do during an average day, is it beter than gp dental assisting?why?

What do oral surgery dental assistants do?
Yes I think it is. I have been a dental assistant for 2 years now. My first job was as an oral surgery assistant. There's a rush with oral surgery I think. GP you do different things, it's alot to remember in GP. In oral surgery you basically do the same procedures day after day. I loved OS. I am now looking for a job in OS I hate GP.
Reply:As far as it being 'better' than working for a GP, that will depend on you...





Oral surgeons perform surgery all day, which can range from extractions to I%26amp;D's (incision and drainage) to apicoectomies, implants, etc... while working for a GP involves different procedures with different instruments.





The bottom line is that you're still an assistant, and while the procedures differ in each office, the infection control protocol, sterilization, OSHA and HIPAA are still the same.





You just need to figure out which office you would be more comfortable working in...





Best of luck to you!


What can one do to treat a nerve n the mouth that has been damaged through careless dental surgery?

My friend has a numb lip and jaw as a result.what can she do to try and rectify the situation?

What can one do to treat a nerve n the mouth that has been damaged through careless dental surgery?
Most of the time it will go back on its own. Sometimes the roots of the tooth are near or next to the nerve and removing the tooth can cause some temporary nerve damage. This is one of the risks with extracting some of these teeth, mainly wisdom teeth. Tell her to give it some time and try not to worry. If she is particularly worried have her go see an Oral Surgeon to check it. But she should definitely let the dentist that did the surgery know the situation so they can monitor it. The nerves are not normally damaged through "careless" dental surgery so without seeing an xray of the original situation it's hard to know the full story. Tell your friend good luck!

Get him to put his opinion down in writing, then sue the other dentist
Reply:Well she should see a lawyer and get the dentist to fix the problem.
Reply:no
Reply:I agree with the 3rd answer
Reply:Either find another dentist or talk to your dentist. Maybe your dentist will give you a refund or something. Just make sure the dentist doesn't rip you off again!!!!!
Reply:visit an orthodontic surgeon, sue the 1st dentist, and get all your teeth out at his expense and have some new ones put in, no more dental probs.
Reply:I'm not sure their is an answer but if it were me I would try using small electric shocks from one of those joke handshake shockers or something similar twice a day .





Its just a theory and I'm not a doc but it seems to me that if you stimulate the undamaged nerves in the lip and jaw with little shocks they will try to find a way to tell your brain not to do it , hopefully in time it will repair the connection .





Its just a theory but one your own doc might find interesting which might make him offer to help , good luck .





Ask to so a neurosurgeon
Reply:the numbness should last a couple of hours but if its taking long





take photos of the numb lip and jaw and try to have it rectified


by the same technician or a different one





if she is well and fine





proceed with litigations
Reply:Wow, rarely see this many stupid answers.





No matter how careful an oral surgeon is, the possibility of nerve damage in the lower jaw exists. All oral surgeons have you sign a release in case this happens. It's rare, but not unheard of.





The feeling may come back, or it might not. There is nothing further surgery can do but make things worse. You can't re-connect nerves no matter what you read about Frankenstien.





And why is everyone's first thought to "sue!!!". Yike, are you all related to lawyers??
Reply:Nobody knows why some damaged nerves heal and some don't. There is no medical procedure which is guaranteed to heal damaged nerves. Your friend will have a hard job PROVING that her nerves were damaged by the dentist and dentists generally have professional indemnity insurance with which they can fight cases of negligence.





I have nerve damage in my arm from when a nurse gave me an anti-flu injection and she injected it right into a nerve. It's just the luck of the draw.





I wish there was something more positive I could say but that's the way things are. Sorry.
Reply:First of all, be sure that your oral surgeon or dentist knows about this. They need to start following this and documenting progress or lack of it in your chart. They can map out the numbness and compare it from visit to visit.





In MOST CASES, the numbness goes away after 3 or 4 weeks.





In SOME CASES, if the numbess does not go away, corrective surgery is possible. Your surgeon would most likely refer you to a neurosurgeon in a major teaching hospital for evaluation if you show no progress after 3 or 4 weeks.





I wonder how you know that the numbness was through careless surgery and not as a result of risks that were explained to and assumed by your friend prior to the surgery. Please "add details" and give more background information. This would help us "edit" our answers so that they might be more helpful as well.
Reply:nerve injury is a documented complication not necessarily malpractice. Go do an oral surgeon and get a second opinion
Reply:I have to ask why do you assume that it was careless dental surgery? There is a nerve on the lower jaw, that if it is bumped or injured can cause this to happen, and it doesn't have to be from a careless dental surgery. When we do extractions I give patients a consent form that they have to sign that lists all the risks, including injury to adjacent teeth, fracture of root, and possible paralysis of lower jaw, either temporary or permenant.





This may be just temporary, She may need to see an oral surgeon or a pain management specialist.
Reply:how long ago did your friend have the work done.I have the same thing going on.
Reply:Firstly there is no magic cure however accusations of careless dentistry are not always appropiate.





It depends what was being done to your friend when and if your frineds nerve was damaged.





Anything risky should have had all risks explained beforehand and she should have signed a consent form which states that these things have been explained.





But most importantly she has to see the dentist that did the surgery. Damage has to be noted and recorded and if necessary a referral to an oral surgery unit for them to follow up.





I now that in my career I have had a few patients return with nerve numbness after some procedures( and I know I was not "careless"), this was a risk, it was explained beforehand and most of them eventually recovered.





PS suing the dentist will probably achieve nothing.

I am 28 yrs,my teeth is not sraight at the top.. can i go for dental surgery.? front 4 teeth?

Dental and Dental Implant surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.





Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.


They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

What type of dentist should one go to if he wants to be out during dental surgery.?

When I was a child my dentist pulled my tooth when it wasn't numb, for some strange reason I think thats going to happen again. So, now I would just rather be completely out.

What type of dentist should one go to if he wants to be out during dental surgery.?
An oral surgeon is trained, and has (should) an office equipped for using anesthesia. Let the dentist know that you want to be asleep. If you don't have one in mind, ask family, friends or coworkers for a recommendation. It is not a good idea to just choose a name out of the phone book. It will be ok!
Reply:MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH AN ORAL SURGEON AND TELL HIM YOU WANT TO BE ASLEEP.
Reply:oral surgeon
Reply:usually your dentist will give you the option of Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas), premedication (such as valum, lortab, etc), or even intravainous sedation (IV sed.) to relax prior to dental treatment. when you call to set up an appointment (a general dentist can take care of you in this situation), let the receptionist know you'd like to speak with the dentist about being medicated before or during treatment and she will take care of you from there. but if they put you in the chair and you are not comfortable, you can refuse treatment. most times in a situation like this the dentist will have you come in for an evaluation before prescribing you medication, or setting up for a sedation based treatment.

I am stuck on a liquid diet for a few days due to dental surgery, any good ideas for soups or smoothies?

The only requirement the dentist gave me was that I had to be able to drink it through a straw without making myself turn blue trying to suck it through the straw.

I am stuck on a liquid diet for a few days due to dental surgery, any good ideas for soups or smoothies?
#1 Peel and slice a banana, freeze overnight, add to blender with plain soy milk, and a handful of blueberries. Rich in protien and vitamins.





#2 Butternut squash soup


Split and seed a butternut squash, roast in 400 degree oven for 1 hr. Let cool. Remove The skin


Saute 2 Tb ls. Fresh ginger, and 1\2 cup green onions for 1 minute, add Six cups chicken or Veggie broth and the squash


Simmer for twenty minutes


Puree in food processor or blender for a nice creamy texture
Reply:Ingredients


2 8-ounce cartons plain fat-free yogurt


2 ripe small bananas


1 cup sliced fresh strawberries or unsweetened frozen strawberries


1 cup fresh mixed berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, and/or blackberries, or unsweetened frozen mixed berries





Directions


1. In a blender container, combine yogurt, bananas, and berries; cover and puree until nearly smooth. Makes 4 servings.
Reply:You can puree just about any well-cooked vegetable in a blender and add enough liquid (clear chicken or beef broth) so it passes through the straw easily.


Same goes for fruit - just add milk or yoghurt and water to thin.


If too many chunks remain in the puree, you can run the liquid through a strainer first.
Reply:Put some canned chicken soup into a blender and I think you'd be able to drink that.





Drink chicken or beef broth.





Make thin milkshakes.





Tomato soup.





You can also get some of the fruit baby foods. This sounds silly, but they really taste pretty good!





Thin mashed potato's.





Apple sauce.





Umm....that's all I can think of now. Hope this helps.
Reply:You know, when I recently had a tooth pulled I couldn't eat soup, because they didn't want the area that was worked on to be exposed to extreme heat like hot soup. So consider yourself lucky! You could buy some of those Campbell's Soups On the Go. They are in little microwavable cups and are mostly broth, because they have a lid where you can sip through. Most soups are good because they have things in them (noodles, meat, etc) so you would need basically a broth. Try tomtao soup, or some creamy soups. . . .
Reply:i make smoothies all the time. my favorite is mango and banana. i just use frozen mango some apple juice and a banana and a splash of milk or some yogurt depending on what you like.
Reply:There are lots of recipe sites that might help, but one hint--use a very large straw--like the ones that often come in drink cups that people take to ball games, etc. They are usually about 1/4" in diameter, which makes it easier to avoid that "blue in the face" problem. With that size straw you could probably suck up any creamed soups as long as they didn't have vegetable chunks (although I suppose the chunks could be strained out beforehand.)





Another hint--health food stores carry protein powder in lots of really good flavors that you mix with milk or juice. If you have a blender or food processor, you can even throw in bananas, berries, and ice for a wonderful smoothie. Since a blender will liquefy almost any vegetable, you could make lots of vegetable drinks that you could heat for soup. Our family's shrimp cocktail sauce is made with tomato juice or V-8 to which finely chopped onions, celery, and bell peppers are added. The first time I was assigned that for a family pot luck, I got tired of chopping the vegetables, so I just filled the blender about half way with juice and then tossed in chunks of veggies, and it turned out well. I would guess some vegetable combinations would turn a disgusting color when blended, but even so, the result should be nutritious.
Reply:Since your liquid diet isn't long-term, make a good stock by boiling a skinned chicken or a trimmed beef roast. This is tons better than bought broth or soups! Boil it gently for a good long time (3 hours or more) then pull the meat out and freeze that. It'll be really tender so when you're ready for soft foods, you'll have some. Throw some barley or rice in as your meat is cooking and save those for 'soft foods' days, too. Also boil some veggies with this. Once you've pulled the meat out, skim any visible fat off the top of the stock. Then put the stock and the veggies through the blender or food processor. Strain if necessary. Season to taste, of course.
Reply:this is tasty


41/2 oz carrots


4 oz cauliflower


1oz butter


7 oz tomatoes


2-3 basil leaves


2oz cheddar cheese





put carrots in saucepan, cover with boiling water and simmer covered for 10 minutes, add the cauliflower and cook covered for 7-8 mins adding extra water if required. Meanwhile melt the butter add the tomatoes and saute until mushy, stir in the basil leaves and cheese until melted, mix all togehter and puree, not only is it tasty but u can freeze it too
Reply:1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (or any other type)


1 cup cranberry juice and water mix


1 cup frozen fruit


1 frozen banana (makes the smoothie really smooth!)


Blend for about 2 minutes.


If you add protein powder, it will keep your energy going and give you a ton of vitamins and nutrients!
Reply:Home made beef or chicken broth is really good, and good for you, or in a pinch, you can buy the organic (Swanson's Certified Organic tastes the best!). Also, try what I have for breakfast every other morning...one banana torn into pieces, 4 frozen or fresh strawberries, throw into a blender, cover with nonfat milk and a teaspoon of almond extract, and, since I'm a health nut, I also put in a tablesoon of flaxseed oil. Make it thinner with adding more milk so it comes through a straw. It tastes delicious and is so good for you, and actually fills you up! Good luck and I hope this helps. You really should try both, the broth is good for lunch or dinner and gives you some of the nutrients you need. The smoothie, as you can tell, is terrific for you! Warm regards.
Reply:go out and get yourself a package of carnation instant breakfast. I prefer the chocolate.

How long does it take for dissolvable stitches to dissolve after a dental surgery?

are they better than normal stitches?

How long does it take for dissolvable stitches to dissolve after a dental surgery?
I'm a dentist.





3-0 chromic gut or 4-0 chromic gut is likely what was placed in your mouth. It's what I use, and it's what I've always seen used.





It typically takes at minimum one week for the suture to dissolve, i.e. be resorbed by the body. If the suture knot was tied improperly or if the suture was placed in the floor of your mouth where it would be submerged in saliva, you'll likely find that suture has come undone and is now missing (you've swallowed it).





One week is just a minimum. Sometimes I see the suture there for two weeks even, but rarely.





There are other materials used in the mouth, however. Sometimes I will use Vicryl, which is intended to last longer. These I will typically see for two weeks, minimum.
Reply:they are better than normal stitches and they desolve after a few days..mine did
Reply:It takes about a week.
Reply:Yes. I had 8 teeth pulled at the same time and they dissolve at their own pace. Some of mine dissolved in a week, others took 4 days. They are MUCH better than regular stitches in my opinion. Hope this helped out! :-)
Reply:5-7 dyas
Reply:much better then normal..





take about 2 weeks to fully dissolve
Reply:I ahd some and the dentist told me that they wouldnt last more than 7 days and they didnt. 5-6 days tops.
Reply:it depends on the person, they'll be out within a week for sure, let them disolve on thier own, %26amp; try not too mess with them too much.
Reply:up to 14 days and they are better
Reply:5-10 days typically. If your DDS said to come back in a week to check the healing--DO IT please. But those stitches will do their own thing. Be patient.
Reply:5-7 days
Reply:Resorbable sutures are not necessarily better than non resorbable ones. The main purpose of sutures is to approximate the tissue ends hence allowing them to heal. That is, the body does the healing, the sutures just allows them to do that.





However non resorbably sutures such as black silk can be worse in that the way they are made may potentially introduce bacteria into the wound (provided that the patient is not doing his/her job of cleaning the wound area)





Different type of suture is suited for different situations so resorbable sutures aren't necessarily better.





Dissolving times for


Vicryl (synthetic resorbably sutures), takes about 21 days to fully dissolve.





Cat-Gut (plain or chromic), takes significantly shorter time at 1 week.

Can a dentist somehow accidentally damage patients brain while doing a dental surgery?

Sure. I suppose that while performing dental surgery, the dentist could drill up into the brain cavity. After all, the top of the mouth isn't very far from the brain. I'd say the chances of this happening are very low, however.





Dr. James Jeah MD

Can a dentist somehow accidentally damage patients brain while doing a dental surgery?
Everything is possible..
Reply:Wow at least you can still type
Reply:Dental surgery or more correctly termed oral and maxillofacial surgery itself will not damage the patients brain unless the doctor doesn't know what they are doing. There is no reason for the doctor to be anywhere near the brain. What should concern patients more is the possibility of nerve damage during surgery which would cause permanent numbness or tingling in the surgical area. Brain damage is always a remote possibility during general anesthesia or iv sedation but this is an Anesthesiologist issue and can happen with any surgical procedure involving patient sedation.

The tip of my tongue is still numb 2 days after dental surgery, should I be worried?

There was a scratch on my tongue when I woke up and it was in front of there that stayed numb..

The tip of my tongue is still numb 2 days after dental surgery, should I be worried?
Call your Dentist/Oral Surgeon and let them know. There is a nerve that runs down into the lower jaw and whenever you receive Novocaine in the lower jaw with an injection called a "Mandibular Block" there stands a slim chance you could receive some paralysis in the lower lip, cheek or tongue area. Sometimes this situation resolves itself over several days/weeeks and sometimes it doesn't, but the dentist should be made aware of the situation so they can monitor it and make recommendations for you. If it is due to the scratch the numbness may dissapate as the scratch heals, but you should call your dentist regardless.
Reply:Perhaps try going back and asking. I'm not so sure if thats normal, i thought these things wore off after a day. I'm sure they'll be able to tell you!

The numbness should have worn off by now under normal circumstances. Sometimes injured nerves can cause prolonged numbness and sometimes permanent.


You really need to have this checked out ASAP.
Reply:You should probably talk to your dentist.
Reply:You could be experiencing some nerve damage, which is pretty common when having surgery most of the time the nerve will regenerate it just takes some time. If you are concerned you should contact the dentist that preformed the surgery they would be able to give you some incite to why it is still numb.

Reply:My son had oral surgery and the insurance didn't pay... well.. it was ordered by the orthodontist and I think they paid some nominal amount that came to about 10% or even less.


The reason.. simple. Insurance companies are in the business of making money, not paying out money. There are actuaries that work out the statistics and do risk calculations all day long and if something isn't covered, then it's because either too many people require the procedure (volume cost), because the market price for the procedure is too high, because it is elective, and foremost because there is not enough gvmt regulation (thanks to Reagan) and therefore they can get away with it. Health and dental insurance is a for-profit-business, not welfare.

I really do feel for you, because i too need major dental work, and have no dental insurance at work. Now everyone can say, save the money, apply for financing, just call any dentist , they will give you a payment plan, but not everyone can afford to save the money, they may be living paycheck to paycheck, they may not be able to get financing, due to bad credit in the past, not every dentist everywhere will make payment plans, etc... so to all of the people that have dental insurance, and dont have a problem of being poor, or not having any of the above problems, please remember everyone in the world is not rich they do not have good jobs, they may not be able to afford insurance, etc...

Definitely keep taking the antibiotics and pain medicine that your dentist gave you until you run out. I would say a whole week before you feel completely better. My dentist also told me for faster healing to rinse your mouth three times a day with a salt and water mixture. 1 tsp in a glass of water. That definitely helped.


How can i make my teeth pearly white, without dental surgery???

keep rinsing with warm water, to loosen everything on your teeth, brush really well, then go through a regimen of crest whitening strips, or get a tooth whitening toothpaste.

How can i make my teeth pearly white, without dental surgery???
You might ask your dentist about bleaching your teeth or try one of the over-the-counter dental bleaching kits like Crest Whitestrips.
Reply:brush twice, regularly n properly...probably with a vitamin fluoride toothpaste. visit d dentist regularly..i think rinsing mouth with water in which u have boiled cinnamon helps (btw....d natural colour of d teeth is slightly yellow)
Reply:Go buy some crest white strips.


I used some about a year ago, and WOW!


They really made my teeth WHITE!


I got many compliments!
Reply:bleaching lazer called zoom
Reply:The dentist have bleaching products, they make up moulds of your teeth and you take the moulds home with the bleach and do it yourself and it has nothing to do with surgery. If you mean that you have a phobia about walking into a dental surgery, you can actually buy bleaching kits from the chemist. They are not as strong but can work in some cases.( Everyone gets different results)

What is your method of medicating and recovery from dental surgery plus a head cold?

I am taking pennicillan, motrin and tylenol cold medicine but I just keep getting clear phelgm and ready to clear my voice box every few minutes. It is a real nuiscance and I feel like sh#$!

What is your method of medicating and recovery from dental surgery plus a head cold?
It's a cold. There is not much you can do but ride it out. You should speak to pharmacist at the drug store as to which over the counter meds you can take that are both effective and won't interact badly with your prescription meds and motrin. You shouldn't be mixing them up willy nilly.


What's the difference between a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) and a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) ?

Depends on what Dental School you went to. I went to Indiana, I am a DDS, and my collegues who went to Louisville have a DMD. We are all dentist and we all practice dentistry the same way.

Difference between PhD & a Dotorial Degree (eg. Dr. of Dental Surgery)?

A Ph.D. IS a doctoral degree - a doctor of philosophy. However, there is a difference between a Ph.D. and the type of degree you mention, which is a professional, rather than an academic, degree. In a professional doctorate, there is usually not a required dissertation, and instead there is generally a lot of practice involved - you would be doing dental surgery rather than doing research in some academic subject matter.

Difference between PhD %26amp; a Dotorial Degree (eg. Dr. of Dental Surgery)?
The first poster is right... Ph.D is Doctor of Philosophy and they basically do research. The other is a professional degree. Examples are Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), Medical Doctor (MD), Juris Doctorate (JD - Attorney), Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), Doctor of Plant Medicine (DPM), and this list just goes on.





They have what is called professional schools for those profession. Typically, it is a 3 or 4 year program to get the degree followed by training such as internships, clinicals, and residency.


What hapens to my coumadin therapy if I need dental surgery?

this is for an 84 year old male.

What hapens to my coumadin therapy if I need dental surgery?
I would ask BOTH the doctor who manages the coumadin levels AND the dentist who is planning to do the surgery. Do this far enough in advance of your surgery date so dosages have time to be adjusted if necessary
Reply:Ok, if you are going to have dental work, they will stop any blood thinners you are on (plavix, coumadin, aspirin...ect) 3 days before the dental work. It will be out of your system and the blood flows thicker, so u won't bleed as much.
Reply:You should always speak with your doctor if you are planning on having any surgery. Some dental procedures may require the interruption of your Coumadin therapy. Only your doctor and surgeon can make this decision.





While the INR range for minor oral surgery patients is subjective, local hemostatic measures generally are very effective if the INR is less than 4. No oral surgery, even of a minor nature, should be performed if the INR is greater than 5. For most patients on long-term warfarin sodium therapy, the target INR is 2–3; these patients can be managed safely and effectively in the dental office. The normal INR for a non-anticoagulant patient is 1.
Reply:I agree with kits and kats totally. Do not assume any medication changes and self adjust your medication. It depends hugely on the type of dental surgery too (ie big big holes and cuts in the gum vs wee little root being flicked out)





There are ideals for dental surgery, but then decreasing coumadin may have bad effects on the condition you are taking coumadin.... ie increased risk of clot.





Get your dentist to advise you, as he will have a pretty good idea as to how involved this treatment is going to be. He may like to call your doctor to make sure that stopping it is a safe thing to do.

How do you prepair a 6 yr old for dental surgery?

My daughter needs to have three teeth pulled under sedation, to help avoid braces later on. How do I explain this to her.

How do you prepair a 6 yr old for dental surgery?
I had to have 6 teeth pulled when I had to have braces...also under sedation...I was about 11 or 12 though...I'm 24 now...I've had to have other dental surgeries too...





I don't think I was super scared because all my parents really told me was that I needed to have some teeth pulled...honestly, all I remember is sitting in the chair and I was out like a light within minutes...then I woke up and I was crying and walking to this little room where they let me lay for a while...(they say you either wake up laughing or crying from the drugs)...





I never had an ounce of pain after having the 6 teeth out...the only weird thing is that you can feel all the holes where the teeth came out...and a little soreness if you touch them with your tongue...otherwise not a problem...I hope this is the same for your child...





If I were in your shoes as a mother and knowing my own experience, I would tell her as little as possible, but still let her know that the teeth have to come out...





Please feel free to e-mail me if you want to chat about it or if you have any questions...
Reply:Just be straight up with her -- then tell her if she's a good girl that you will take her out for a "big girl's lunch" the following week.
Reply:I'd just tell her that there is nothing to be scared of, and maybe tell her about a surgery that you have had that you needed to be under sedation, (like for a broked bone or something??) and tell her that there will be a reward like a new toy or an ice cream cone (if you don't get them often) or just something that she really likes
Reply:Just explain there are some teeth she needs to have taken care of, which is not under anyone control (in other words you can't help it...and sometimes these things happen).





If she's having GA sedation, then explain that she will be given something which will make her feel sleepy. While she's sleeping, the Dr's are going to take care of her teeth now (so these teeth don't bother her later), then she will wake up, everything will be done. Let her know you will be there for her...every minute (if the child needs reassurance).





Usually, an honest "heads up" works best with children. The more details you share with them, the less they feel surprised. Most children require extra TLC, because there are so many unknowns ahead of them...which causes fear. (Same goes for many adults!)





Call your dental office ahead of time, and see if you can discuss which procedure (what type of sedation) they are using. The more you know about this, the better you can explain this to your child. You'll feel better, too.





You can always have the Dr or their assistant explain everything to your child with you right there. Having you there will help them feel more confident and reassured.





Hope this helps.


Our new shelter cat has stomatitis. Vet says $2300 dental surgery needed. Do people know alternatives?

Call other vets and see what they would charge. Some will work with you and telling them it's a rescue cat should really help. All the best;~)

Our new shelter cat has stomatitis. Vet says $2300 dental surgery needed. Do people know alternatives?
oh im so sorry. if you don't have enough money and the cat is going through pain, then (GOSH IM SO SORRY CUZ I H8 SAYING THIS) put it down. Sorry but dont put the cat through any more pain if you cant afford the surgery
Reply:Wow my new set of dentures didn't cost that much..


Is there a pet health insurance you can get?
Reply:See another vet for alternatives- ie. teeth brushing (I am not a vet, don't know) but don't put the cat down over this- even a cat who looses teeth can have a good life. People told me my blind cat should be put down, too- what is wrong with people?
Reply:Stomatitis is a very difficult problem to deal with. I think it may have something to do with the cat's genetic heritage. Sometimes the removal of all the teeth can help with the situation.





Personally I am very much taken with homeopathy for chronic conditions of this sort. I would consult a qualified veterinary homeopath or a homeopathic veterinarian (100% homeopathy) to seek a remedy to treat the constitutional problem the cat has (the stomatitis is just a manifestation of the real problem).





To start off the initial consultation will be $200 or less. The remedies themselves cost next to nothing. After a remedy is given you must keep records of what is going on with the cat etc. and do a followup conversation with the homeopath. Then the remedy will be repeated at a higher dosage level if it seems to be having the right effect.





I think it would be an excellent investment of time and money as it could clear the situation up completely over time and the cat will be in much better condition in the end.





If you want suggestions about how to find a qualified professional you can email me for ideas. I use one and know of another online and also a veterinary homeopath who runs a Yahoo list. As a matter of fact you might join that group: ClassicalHomeopathy/Pets and ask your question there. The list leader can be consulted and takes on individual cases.





You can get some understanding of the principles of homeopathy by going to: http://www.littlebigcat.com and reading Dr. Jean Hovfe's article "Introduction to Homeopathy". At http://www.homoeopathyclassical.com. The principles and remedies for homeopathy are the same for people and for animals.

How do I pay for a $40,000 dental surgery?
With money?
Reply:Do not have surgery just get them all pulled and get false teeth
Reply:You may have to get a loan. Depending on why you are getting the surgery (for some severe cases where pain or function is an issue) there may be grant programs available - you would need to ask your surgeon or their assistants.





Before going for surgery ensure there are no other options for dealing with this issue (which I will assume is pain in the joints - if you have no pain or infection do not go for surgery as there are always complications).





Please please please before you go under the knife check and double check your surgeon. Ask for referrals from other people with good results. This is a largely unregulated field, and I have heard of so many disaster stories.





I have had 5 surgeries. 4 to correct what they did wrong the first time. I am very lucky I am okay (about 95% recovery), but I know a lot of people who continue to have major issues. Even with a successful result I still have some daily pain, and facial nerve damage that will always be with me.





For me it was worth it as this is compared to pain of a severity where I was taking 3 percocet/4 hours, muscle relaxers, steriod injections into the joints, and was still in pain.





There is a time and a place for surgery - it is important. Before you shell out $40 000 though - make sure you know it will help your overal condition.





If it is cosmetic - I hope you never raise the $40000 as it simply isn't worth the risk.
Reply:Get a loan and a financing plan.
Reply:idk if they have it where you are but here they have a thing called care credit....basically a dental credit card...you can sign up at www.carecredit.com and see how much you are approved for proabably wont be 40,000 worth but some is better than none
Reply:I assume you don't have dental insurance. If you qualify, Social Services may be able to help you pay for dental care. Go to your local office to apply.





We are fortunate to have a University where I live, and they have a dental clinic that does dental work at reduced rates. And there is a licesenced dentist there too.

What can products make teeth whiter other than dental surgery?

http://www.littlewoods-online.com/rf/nav...


bit of a big link i know but i bought one of these and its brill for the price

What can products make teeth whiter other than dental surgery?
sensodyne whitening
Reply:Bleaching products on sale at the chemist xxx
Reply:My dentist recommended the crest white strips.
Reply:Use a whitening toothpaste every day (and/or a whitening rinse) in conjunction to whitening strips or whitening trays. I used whitening trays (I think I used the Rembrandt kind) a few days before my wedding and my teeth were noticeably whiter.
Reply:Some whitening toothpastes can help, but to be honest their effect is minimal, given the cost of most of them.


The only surefire way is to have the teeth specially treated for a "hollywood smile". It's so obviously false though, nobody's teeth are naturally that white anyway.


Some ways to reduce staining and discolouring are not smoking and limiting intake of drinks that contain a lot of "tannins", such as coffee, tea, cola, red wine etc.
Reply:Products containing energised oxygen.
Reply:Whitening toothpastes can have some effect on surface staining but they can be quite abrasive so only use it once a day and use regular toothpaste the rest of the time, watch out for over the counter home bleaching systems, I'm not convinced they work so go by recommendation.
Reply:toothpaste and a toothbrush!


How can i buy some poster for my dental surgery related to my job- like beautiful smile etc?

Hi


I am Looking for some Posters anbd Picture related to dentistry.


Any body can help me to tell me where can i find this sort of poster?

How can i buy some poster for my dental surgery related to my job- like beautiful smile etc?
Well if you're looking for something kinda funky %26amp; non-traditional, you can always go to zazzle.com - they have some great unusual things... and you can even design your own posters, etc. I just searched for "smile" under POSTERS and found a few good ones... like pictures of animals (dogs, dolphins, a zebra, a camel, a gecko, an alligator, giraffes, a seagull, even a dragonfly) that look like they're smiling. Another similar site is cafepress.com. They have lots of kinda funny designs (maybe more t-shirt-appropriate than poster-appropriate). Most of them are cartoons with dentistry cliches on them... but I did find a cool retro image of a boy brushing - that could be a fun route, originals/ prints of old pictures with interesting smiles. You can find pictures with just about any description on ebay (I did a search for "unusual pictures" a while back %26amp; found some great bizarre old pictures of "shepherds on stilts.")





Or if you want to go the (boring) clinical, professional route, there are tons of poster/ artwork sites on the internet: posters.com allposters.com art.com - even some specific to dentistry like discusdental.com





Hope you find what you're looking for!
