Is All Dental Sedation the Same?

Posted on December 10, 2018 by writeradmin.

I’m terrified of the dentist. However, this fear is ruining my life. I’ve been seeing a therapist and he suggested, at least in the short term to try sedation dentistry. He’s worried I’m getting infections because my mouth always hurts. We’re still working on my anxiety, but said this is more like an emergency and […]

Why Is My Tooth Turning Gray?

Posted on November 11, 2018 by writeradmin.

I had a toothache that drove me to the dentist. It takes a lot to get me there. I don’t have my own dentist so I went to one who sees people in emergencies. He said my symptoms meant that I cracked a tooth. He crowned it right then which I appreciated. The pain did […]

Bad Breath with Dental Implants

Posted on November 6, 2018 by writeradmin.

My husband was in an accident which caused him to lose a tooth. He chose to replace it with a dental implant because he wanted the best replacement possible. He’s in a very public job and appearance is important. About a month after he had the implant done I started noticing his breathtaking a turn […]

Sedation Dental Work without Permission

Posted on October 20, 2018 by writeradmin.

I don’t know what to do. I’d developed some pretty severe anxiety and have been neglecting some important things as a result, including my dental care. I’ve been seeing a therapist and one thing he suggested just to get my oral health back on track was to see a sedation dentist until I’ve got my […]

Saving a Knocked Out Tooth

Posted on October 5, 2018 by writeradmin.

I was at a hockey game and saw one of the young men lose a tooth. I always heard the mothers joking about needing a good dental plan if your son joins the team. It got me wondering. Can those teeth be saved or do they have to get replacements for all the teeth they […]

See a Dentist if You Wake Up Tired with a Headache

Posted on August 22, 2018 by writeradmin.

I’d gone to my doctor because I keep waking up with horrible migraines. Plus, no matter how much sleep I get I always wake up exhausted. Always. Doc indicated I might want to see a dentist, though he did start me on Topomax for the migraines. I don’t want you to be offended but I’m […]

Can a Sedation Dentist Help When I Don’t Go Numb?

Posted on August 5, 2018 by writeradmin.

I had a tooth cause me a great deal of pain. I’m not the best at going to the dentist but this did force me to go in. In a way, I’m glad I did because I found out that not only is that tooth massively infected, but I have two other teeth with decay. […]

Disparity in Emergency Dental Care?

Posted on July 31, 2018 by writeradmin.

My husband and I ended up having simultaneous toothaches. We don’t usually go to a dentist, which is probably why we ended up with toothaches to begin with. We saw separate emergency dentists because we both wanted to be seen right away. Somehow, even though we had the same symptoms, I ended up with a […]

Safest Way to Travel for Dental Implants?

Posted on July 18, 2018 by writeradmin.

I need to travel for dental implants because I live in a remote area. There are dentists here, but they’d send me to the city for an oral surgeon. That’s two hours away. So, I figured if I have to travel I might as well find the best implant dentist I can, even if it […]

Can I Charge a Store for My Emergency Dentist?

Posted on June 15, 2018 by writeradmin.

I was at a store and grabbing an item when something fell from their top shelf and hit me in the mouth. I started bleeding and the manager was very apologetic. At the time I didn’t think anything was wrong with my teeth, but today one of my front teeth seems to be getting darker. […]
