I’m an army vet. I served five tours. I don’t want to go into detail but I’ve got PTSD due to several things. Unfortunately, the last time I was in a dental chair we were attacked. I’ve got a pretty bad toothache and my face is swelling up a bit. I know I need a […]
Wouldn’t I Need An Emergency Dentist if Something Was Wrong?
I have a new dentist due to my old dentist retiring. I went in for my normal checkup and he said I have two teeth which need to be extracted and replaced. Surely, if my teeth were that far along I would have needed an emergency dentist from the pain, don’t you think? Could this […]
What’s the Difference Between a Grill and Dental Implants
My friend says I’m getting a grill because I’m getting dental implants. He says Lil’ Wayne has grills. I don’t think they’re the same thing. Who’s right?

What Went Wrong With My Last Dental Sedation Case?
I’ve had five procedures which required dental sedation. Until this last one, everything went smoothly. I have switched dentists mostly because of a move to another city.

Emergency Dentist Refuses to Repair Another Dentist’s Mistakes
Three months ago I had a crown done. I’ve been back every week since then trying to get it adjusted because it’s hurt from the beginning. Today, though, it broke off and a piece of it shattered off. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t trust the dentist who did the crown, so I […]
Why Dentures Cause Facial Collapse

Should the Changed in Sedation Dentistry Laws Worry Me?
I’m really worried. I’m scheduled to have my wisdom teeth removed. I’m 27 so I’m a little late in the game. I recently read they’re changing the dental laws because the way dentists currently do dental sedation isn’t as safe as it should be. But, (and here’s the part which worries me) it doesn’t take […]
Did My Dental Sedation Cause My Panic Attack?
I’ve had several dental surgeries and never had a problem before my last one. This one was with a different dentist, so I’m wondering if he did something different.

What Do I Do If an Adult Tooth is Loose?
I was putting up some food storage when one of my preserve jars fell and smacked me right in the mouth. I thought I was okay. My lipped swelled, but there didn’t to seem to be much more damage. But, when I woke up this morning, one of my front teeth seemed loose. I keep […]
Can I Take a Sleeping Pill Before Dental Work?
I’ve got an upcoming dental appointment where I need some work done. I have dental anxiety. I’d really rather just sleep through the procedure, but my dentist doesn’t believe in sedation dentistry. I’m too scared. Would it be okay if I just took a sleeping pill before I went? Loriee L. Dear Loriee, I’m going to say […]
