I have a terrible gag reflex. Even something as simple as having dental x-rays taken can make me gag, and I once had to stop a procedure because I couldn’t tolerate the instruments in my mouth. It’s embarrassing, and I’ve started putting off dental appointments because I dread going through it again. I’m not particularly […]
Read More...I have a disaster of a mouth. I’m fairly certain most of my teeth are infected. I know they all have decay. My problem is two-fold. One, money. It’s going to cost a fortune to get all of this fixed and I don’t have a fortune. Two, I’m terrified of the dentist, which is what […]
Read More...I’m on the books to have dental implant surgery soon with Clear Choice Dental Implants. I didn’t give them all my medical information and now I’m worried about it. I don’t want to end up in a dangerous situation because they didn’t know everything. The reason why I held some information back is because when […]
Read More...I had been avoiding the dentist for a while. A friend told me that I need to try dental sedation because it changed her life. I scheduled an appointment and told my sister about it. She sent me this article from the NY Post that some guy who had oral conscious sedation and died from […]
Read More...I hate going to the dentist and only went because I have a massive toothache. My dentist was a complete jerk about it and said I wouldn’t have these problems if I would actually come like I’m supposed to. I almost left, but my mouth was in too much pain. So, are there dentists who […]
Read More...I have had a swelling on my gums above one of my top molars for three years. My dentist said it is most likely a chronic abscess but could be a cyst. He’s suggested watching it all this time. While it isn’t very tender, I’ve started to worry about it. I did some research on […]
Read More...I have been afraid of the dentist for most of my life, which means I’ve been avoiding them unless I was in so much pain I couldn’t avoid it. Those procedures did nothing to change my mind about the dentist but they were necessary. I’m wondering if there is a way I can have my […]
Read More...I really hate going to the dentist and nothing about my latest appointment has changed my mind. I had a tooth extraction because it was badly infected. Apparently, when he extracted the tooth he perforated my sinus cavity. A few days after the extraction, my cheek swelled up and there was a lot of discharge […]
Read More...I have a tooth which has been bothering me. My dentist said that he does not see any remaining canals of my molars because of calcification. This particular tooth already has a dental crown on it already. My dentist said he’s going to give me an antibiotic, but if that doesn’t work he wants to […]
Read More...I am getting braces and the dentist/orthodontist suggested getting four teeth removed because of overcrowding. He left one root in for a premolar, which puzzled me because if he’s trying to make space, wouldn’t he need that space where the root is? I asked him about it and he told me it would fall out […]
