I am in my mid twenties and having some trouble with my wisdom teeth. Two of them are infected. The other two, while also impacted, are not infected. My dentist said the infected ones have to go but it is up to me what to do with the other two. I’m not sure what is […]
Read More...I had a root canal treatment and dental crown about three years ago. Recently, it began to feel funny and then a few days later it fell off. I went to see my dentist and he decided what I needed was a new dental crown. I was confused by this because it wasn’t very old. […]
Read More...I have a fractured tooth that also now has an abscess. I’m supposed to have it extracted in three weeks and get it replaced with a dental implant but the abscess is really bothering me. I’m in so much pain and my face is swollen. I tried to get them to move up the appointment […]
Read More...I don’t know what happened. I had a tooth that my dentist was watching and suddenly it is Friday night and that tooth is killing me. Of course, the dentist is closed. I don’t know if I can wait until Monday. The pain is just too much. Can I go to an ER? Madison Dear […]
Read More...I’ve seen an emergency dentist before, for an abscessed tooth that (of course) chose to flare up while I was on vacation. I was several states away from my regular dentist.

Read More...I had a horrible toothache and went to see an emergency dentist. I tend to avoid the dentist because I don’t usually have a good experience, even when there are not problems. However, this tooth hurt enough that I needed to get seen. He ran some tests that hurt and then did a dental crown […]
Read More...I had a dental crown done by another dentist only four months ago. I had trouble with it from the beginning. I went back multiple times to have it adjusted, but it never stopped hurting. Now, the crown just broke. I didn’t trust my dentist anymore so decided to see someone who advertised as an […]
Read More...My son was playing basketball with some friends when he was elbowed in the mouth. It knocked one of his teeth straight out. The area is barely bleeding and the tooth looks intact. I do have a gauze in the area. Is there any way it can be saved or will I need to begin […]
