Is it always better to get dental problems checked out and at least evaluated ahead of time so that they don’t develop into certain chronic conditions that cannot be remedied?

Worried and Need help ASAP

2019-12-29T23:13:14+00:00

I had a lump develop afew cm above my front tooth. It made my entire upper gums swell up and after the past 3 days i woke up this morning and it was huge. It looked comparable to a gum boil. I left it alone and am currently struggling to get insurance fast before i get treatment. However, on its own, it ruptured and a ton of white pus and blood came out. Now it doesnt hurt and im just scared cause im looking it up like crazy and i keep finding different pages saying that it will infect my mouth further. Do i need to go seek medical attention immediately or can it wait. Im just scared ill sleep then wake up tomorrow to have my whole mouth being infected. I rinsed with hydrogen peroxide and made sure any excess pus was removed. Should i wait it out or go to the hospital like right now because it doesnt hurt or anything and pressure feels super relieved in my mouth but im fearing further infection.

Edit: also as a sidenote its right above my front tooth on the right side that had cracked in half but i got it filled to look normal 2 months ago. When the pain first started afew days ago it started there. I had thought it was a severe toothache from that specific tooth. And it felt like it.

What should I expect dentist will do about this tooth whenever I can go? And I have Medicaid lol. The pain is horrible now and it’s like a stinging pain. Anything you know I can do in meantime for relief let me know what you think!

Wisdom teeth recovery

2019-12-26T01:45:59+00:00

Hey gang, I’m new to this sub and had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed last Friday. My mouth is still a little tender but I’ve been able to eat some harder foods as of today. I was wondering if drinking a Christmas beer tonight is out of the question. My mouth looks mostly healed aside from one of my bottom molars and I’m off pain medication.

First dental surgery, I'm nervous.

2019-12-25T06:20:21+00:00

So, some members of my family have experienced this same thing, but they are all estranged so I have no one to get advice from.

A few years ago, I was experiencing some numbness in my lower lip, xrays revealed I had an extra tooth that was close to the nerve that brings feeling to that area (it is at the base of my lower left canine). Well, over time, the numbness went away and aside from the occasional pain, all was well. A few weeks ago, however, my lip went numb again. I decided to get it removed and scheduled a consultation with an OMF.

Here's the thing: I have never had anything done. I've never had a cavity, I was born with straight teeth, and I have all my wisdom teeth. A lifetime of no problems has left me unprepared go under.

If there is anyone out there who can maybe walk me through what the procedure could be like or what you'd use anesthesia wise, or even just general advise on the situation, all would be greatly appreciated.

I am desperate for help

2019-12-24T13:44:20+00:00

How the heck do I stop my tooth pain?? I have a root canal scheduled for next week, in the meantime how do I stop the pain?! Heat doesn’t help, Tylenol and Ibuprofen don’t help, naproxen doesn’t help, Orajel doesn’t help, cold helps sometimes but not lately.. my tooth is throbbing so hard it feels like it’s going to explode!! And I wish it would, the pain from that can’t be nearly as agonizing as this!! Please help...

Need advice about a fallen crown

2019-12-13T04:09:27+00:00

Hello,

So earlier today I had my temporary crowns replaced with permanent ones. Well one of them didn't fit right so they made it a temporary instead. Well, it has fallen off twice. I called my dentist when it fell off the 1st time and I have an appointment in the morning. But now it fell off a 2nd time, what can I do to prevent more decay? I tried putting it back on with a temporary cement but it won't stay.

Stiff and painful jaw with lump in gums being the source. What could this mean?

2019-12-10T15:08:36+00:00

My jaw has been stiff since this morning with no sign of improvement after 8 hours. I've been taking pain killers, but unable to widen my jaw beyond a finger width, and chewing food is agony.

The source of the pain seems to be in this coin sized lump in the left side of my gums, in between my top and bottom teeth. Should I see a dentist about this?

Pain from crowns

2019-12-09T12:33:31+00:00

A month ago I was told I needed crowns on my two, bottom molars on the left part of my jaw. I was also told that if the nerve damage was too bad, I would have to get root canals. I got temporary crowns put on November 21st and I have an appointment for the permanent crowns on Thursday December 12th. Since I got the temporary crowns, I've had some pain. I've been taking Motrin & Tylenol to ease it along with a prescription toothpaste and toothache gel. The pain comes and goes but it has been getting worse. I have been brushing my teeth twice a day & I sometimes floss, not often as I should. I've been avoiding hard foods so there isn't a problem there. I don't have a sensitivity to hot/cold.

Should I move my appointment up or should I go in for an emergency dental visit?

Nervous about first dentist visit in awhile

2019-12-06T07:25:36+00:00

I haven’t been to the dentist in two years (I was working three jobs, it just kept getting put off. But my excuses are irrelevant). I’m going next week.

I’m really nervous that I’ve done irreparable damage. I don’t feel any pain, my teeth look fine and aren’t sensitive. I brush twice a day. But everything I read says I might not be able to detect if something is wrong and I’ve never had a cavity so I don’t really know the symptoms.

I’m not going to skip it again, but I’m very anxiety prone and I’m afraid I’m going to find out that my teeth are going to fall out in a year or something.

Can someone tell me the odds of permanent damage? The uncertainty is causing panic.

Small tooth chipping.

2019-12-02T23:47:42+00:00

I was eating what was basically a Klondike bar when a small amount of a tooth got chipped off. I have a nasty habit of eating ice which I predict may not have helped since cold. (If you're gonna note that I may be anemic, I already know I am) not an expert but my best guess as to why.

Anyway, managed to not swallow the piece but it's from like a mid or back ish tooth. It wasn't that big to be dangerous. No bigger 2 millimeters sides. It's enough I can feel the spot with my tounge but no pain or anything.

What should I do? It's a bit late time wise to rush but I also don't think this is major. (correct me if you think I'm wrong) I'm not worried about the look since it is kinda back but I'm concerned this will make it more brittle.

My gums are constantly bleeding and i dont know why

2019-11-28T03:45:25+00:00

The title says it all, i have a missing molar at the back right upper part of my mouth and i lost it because i had to get it taken out since it was rotting and causing alot of pain it had to be removed but 2 weeks later i'd get these episodes of blood coming out of my mouth (always from the hole btw) i hope its nothing serious or anything but how do i stop it?

Answer for rule 2: i dont want to tell people where i live otherwise i'd get a sitewide ban for posting personal information

My wisdom tooth has caused my other teeth to become loose and form a ramp

2019-11-25T05:14:17+00:00

Every time I bite down I can feel all the teeth on my left side go down and then come back up

I just got my wisdom tooth removed 2 days ago and I’m almost done recovering, and as of now, it has made this little ramp with my teeth which are now loose that I now cannot pull back down to their original positions. When I casually bite down, the back permanent tooth right next to where the wisdom tooth used to be is what I feel first.

Do I need to go to the dentist again or something?

Broken Bonded Retainer

2019-11-06T23:33:30+00:00

Hey there, so its late in the day and a dental appliance (a lower bonded retainer) has come loose and I now have a wire free roaming in my mouth attached to a lower incisor on the left side of my mouth. What in the world do I do, no dentists are open and this has been in place for way over ten years, so I'm not even sure the orthodontist who put it in practices anymore.
