Is gland swelling normal for wisdom teeth extraction?

Hi, I had 3 wisdom teeth removed on 4/1. They were able to remove the teeth intact without cutting my gums or breaking the teeth. I know some swelling is normal, but I'm having slight pain on the glands under my ears. Is this normal? Mainly, the glands feel swollen, but I have no temperature and the clots are still in place. On one side, the clot looks black like it was blood and on the other side, the clot looks greyish. Just want to be sure nothing is wrong and this is normal. I didn't start smoking til later yesterday and the clots are still in place. I've been using a heating pad to help with the slight swelling feel.

Is gland swelling normal for wisdom teeth extraction?
Swelling of the glands means there is an infection somewhere. It may just go away in a day or two. Our glands are designed to collect the by products of infections. That is why when you have a sore throat, your glands will swell sometimes. Just take some pain pills and if it doesn't go away in a couple of days, call your dentist.
Reply:Yes that is normal wait a week and it should go down, if not go to the dr

I want one of my teeth temorarly filled can they do it?

When I was seven I broke my tooth. I went to a emergency denist and he put a temory filling in but now this filling has worn down. Though when he put my filling in my teeth wasn't the same size theres a big difference now and im not having it capped till im 18! I'm 12 now can they put a temporary filling in so my teeth are the same size?

I want one of my teeth temorarly filled can they do it?
Temporary fillings are exactly that, temporary. At my office we have patients only keep them in for about a few weeks. This is because they are likely to fall out or fail. I would talk to your dentist about a payment plan of some sort so you can get the crown put on ASAP. If you need a crown on a tooth and wait to long (especially years!) the tooth is likely to crack and not be repairable. Meaning you will have to get it pulled, then you will either have to keep the cap in your teeth, or have a bridge or implant. Both of which are very expensive. My advice would be to crown that tooth before that happens.
Reply:hmm i think they can but im not sure you should just ask the dentist they will tell u
Reply:uh y arent u capping it till ur 18, if u need it just go do it
Reply:From what it sounds like, the "temporary" filling they put on was a type of tooth colored plastic material (composite resin). The reason they do it this way for kids is because your teeth are still immature and if they try to put a crown on it, you risk exposing the pulp. The pulp will get smaller as you get older and then they'll be able to crown it normally. If the composite has worn down or fallen off, the dentist can replace it with the same material. At 12, it's still probably too early to do a crown...but it depends on the tooth and what it looks like on the xray. Your dentist will be able to advise best.

White marks on my teeth, they are breaking?

For the past few years i have had white marks on alot of my teeth..and recently they have been caving in, leaving holes in my teeth...wherever theres a white blotch, give it a few months and it'll break and leave a hole..does drinking alot of Coke cause it? and what should i do? can a dentist just patch them up with fillins?





ps: one happaned about 10 minutes ago on a tooth up the very back :/

White marks on my teeth, they are breaking?
sounds like you have some areas where the teeth are decalcified (the beginning of a cavity) which are then breaking down and becoming cavitated. This could be diet related (drinking too much Coke) or oral hygiene related (not keeping them clean enough) but you should go to a dentist asap so he can take a look and see what needs to be done to fix you up and counsel you on how to stop them from returning because even if they are fixed if you don't change your habits more will form
Reply:its called decalcification
Reply:Go to the Dentist now!





The coke may be wearing your teeth down. Have you ever read any of the facts on coke? I didn't have soda for a year after.
Reply:Usually white marks indicate too much flouride was ingested when you were little. Head to the Dentist before you get some major damage.

Wisdom Teeth and swollen gum?

I am in pain. My wisdom tooth came out years ago and its mostly chipped away. It has a few sharp edges that I did notice. Its already been about 4 days that I noticed pain when I bite down. My gum is swelling on top of my broken wisdom tooth. It looks like a small bubble and it hurts to the touch. Could this be an infection. I cant even eat nor talk right. Should I go to a Doctor or a dentist? Has this happened to anyone else?

Wisdom Teeth and swollen gum?
Go to dentist immediately, you probably have an abscess under the tooth.


Dentist will give you something to remove infection, it can then be removed.


It will not get better only worse.


Regards
Reply:Dude, you probably need to get that tooth removed. Get to a dentist ASAP and they can give you the scoop on what's really going on. Most likely it is infected. When my wisdom teeth started to come in they caused me a lot of problems and I was having trouble eating normal foods for the longest time. Thankfully I got them removed, and no problems since! I know you've had it awhile, but it could be the same kind of thing.





Good luck!

I hurt my teeth while sleeping. how can I stop?

and I dont grind with my teeth, I press my front teeth at each other, side to side. can you imagine that? and it hurts so much while sleeping and I'm so affraid that I will break my teeth. but I cant stop. I do wake up, but not completely. I comprehend what I'm doing, but I'm not that fast in my mind to stop this.





what to do? luckly I didnt do that for a long time.

A better and more expensive solution would be to go to a dentist and ask for help. He would probably fit you with a more comfortable mouthguard to wear at night.
Reply:Have you tried a mouth guard....lots of people use them to protect their teeth at night due to grinding. My sister used to grind her teeth constantly while sleeping, we used this method and it helped her out alot!! Try it out, it might help ya!
Reply:I'd see a dentist about getting a nightguard, they are usually for people who grind their teeth the more traditional way (side to side on all the teeth) but it may help you too, you would need to ask the dentist.





Until you have time to get to a dentist, you could just wear a regular mouth guard to bed. You can get one at any sporting goods store, follow the directions on it to form it to your mouth. and since you only need protection near the front of your mouth you can always cut the back part off of each side and leave only enough to cover the front half of your teeth.
Reply:this happens to me alot





I happened last night





use a teeth guard like in boxing this will relieve most if not all the strees





if you don't have one try thoes foam thing you bite on a the dentist tha mold to your teeth although





I think the mouth guard would be much easier to find





it works for me... but you have to remember to put it in
Reply:well im not quick sure what you mean but you could try going to your doctor about it and maybe he or she could give you a retainer or something to put in your mouth at night so you wont hurt your teeth
Reply:Alright man I have the same thing and also have one of my front teeth chipped so it really hurts so i feel you. When I did this I was usually in a stressful state and I somewhat knew what was going on in my dreams but I could not wake up, what I do now is in my dream I put my hand in my mouth. And I actually put my fingers in my mouth while I'm sleeping while this happens. So I wake up because I am biting the crap out of my fingers in real life. I don't think some people have the ability to do this but I kinda trained myself. Good luck, some people get small mouth pieces made for this.
Reply:go to the dentist tell him your problem that happened to my friend Bye
Reply:Generally the treatment for sleeping grinding is the same as for sleeping clenching. Get a night guard. At a continuing education course recently, we were told that if a person's normal force of chewing during the day (which would be monitored by your awake brain) is 25 Newtons, then at night while you are asleep the force exerted on your teeth by clenching and grinding might be as high as 250 Newtons. That is a huge difference.


Get a night guard. It will help your jaw to relax and if anything gets worn down it will be the plastic of the night guard and not your teeth.
Reply:that is grinding. Go buy a night mouth guard. Call your dentist or go to any local pharmacy and buy a mouth guard. They are located in the oral health section of the store.
Reply:Hey Julian, you need to get a retainer. Plastic retainers are the best as they fit over all of your teeth. This will minimise any damage that is getting done to your teeth while you sleep. The retainers may also make it harder to press your front teeth together. The retainers dont usually cost much especially if you have private health cover. Good Luck. If all else fails buy sports retainers, they are huge and will make it extremely difficult for you to even move your jaw at night.

A Dentist repaired my upper plate and a few days later one of the teeth broke out.?

The dentist won't fix it or help me pay for another. I am considering filing a suit against that man. What do you think?

A Dentist repaired my upper plate and a few days later one of the teeth broke out.?
Unless you are chewing on rocks, there's no reason that a brand-new repair falling apart like that should be acceptable to the dentist. He should be ashamed of shoddy worksmanship.





You should go to his office in the morning and speak to the receptionist. Have the plate in and hope that it's a full waiting room. Speak a little louder than you normally would and gesture to the broken tooth...let his waiting patients see for themselves that the dentist won't back up his work. Hopefully the shame factor will kick in and he'll fix it.





If not...





Next, I'd file a complaint with the state Board. I would then look for another dentist nearby who can fix it so you don't walk around looking like that. Good luck.
Reply:You can't really say the dentist is at fault. We don't know the nature of the repair that he did. Maybe the denture was broken quite badly.


The biggest thing here is that you are reasonable. If you feel you have a legitimate concern as to why this tooth broke away from the denture after the dentist repaired it, then speak to him about it. If you are trying to get something for nothing, well, then maybe you are the problem.

My daughter is just one yr old and nearly has a full set of teeth ive noticed that her teeth are breaking?

i mean first one of her side tooth brole in half now her front tooth has broke im very concerned abt what is happening, she is mainly breastfed

My daughter is just one yr old and nearly has a full set of teeth ive noticed that her teeth are breaking?
probably not getting a good diet .she should be eating normal family food by now. see your dentist and speak to your health visitor.
Reply:Does she have any juice out of a bottle as this will rot her teath. Also at 1 years old I would stop breast feeding and start giving her veg and fruit to eat and healthy balanced diet. Go to dentist and he will advise what to do and what is causing the problem, there is something rotting her teeth and you have to take this seriously as she has those baby teeth till she is around 7 years old and children are very cruel when they start school, so do something now!
Reply:She needs to eat a proper diet and should have been taken off breast milk a while ago. Maybe not completely, but it should NOT be her main source of food. She is not getting enough nutrition. She needs to chew stuff to strengthen her teeth and gums. If her teeth are breaking there could be other medical problems to follow. Please take her to the doctor to have her checked out followed by a dentist visit so your daughter isn't in pain from the broken teeth. I wish you luck.
Reply:Sounds like insufficient calcium in her diet, and possibly poor dental hygiene. She should be on a full mixed diet at a year old.





I suggest you seek the advice both of your dentist and your GP as a matter of urgency.
Reply:This sounds very negative and I apologise but I had a full set of teeth at a very young age and the same thing happened to me! I have always had really bad teeth (in terms of condition) they need a lot of looking after by me and the dentist - it is almost as if they are older than they should be? You definitely need to take her to the dentist to keep on top of it!

Reply:you should take her to the dentist to make sure she doesnt get cavities or infections until her adult teeth come in... and thank goodness we lose our baby teeth in case they break while learning to walk... but you should get her looked at by a dentist because if she hasnt had any trauma to her mouth then something else is going on!
Reply:i would seek the advice of a dentist as soon as possible.
Reply:Just a guess, but she probably needs more nutrients than you are able to give her through her breast milk. I almost exclusively breastfed until my baby was somewhere between 8 1/2 - 9 1/2 months old, but at that point she would get fussy after breastfeeding. My mom pointed out that her tummy wasn't getting full. I started supplementing with food (protein, vegetables and fruit) and she was less fussy. AMA recommends exclusively breastfeeding for the first 6 months and then offering other types of food after that. They still recommending supplementing with breastmilk through the first year or two of life. I hope this helps.
Reply:you need to take her to the dentist thats not normal
Reply:I would definitely get her to the doctor and ask for a referral to a pediatric dentist. That is not normal and the root of it needs to be discovered. Please follow through with this and don't rely on internet advice.
Reply:Hmmmmm.....Go see a dentist ASAP!
Reply:You need to talk to her pediatrician right away. Obviously her body isn't getting all the essentials it needs to grow strong and healthy.She is lacking something. Also, make sure you eat a balanced diet since you are breast feeding.
Reply:Does she eat much actual food? She needs to...it sounds like she has a sever deficiancy in something.
Reply:Go to the dentist NOW!
Reply:I would talk to your doctor or health visitor as she may be lacking in certain vitamins. I would also take her to the dentist for a check up as they can give you some advice as well
Reply:Did you breastfeed at night? Do you brush right after breastfeeding? My pediatrician told me not to bother with it or a dentist until 2 just because she couldn't sit for it...and my daughter had to have $3000 worth of dental work! Crowns, fillings, caps-horrendous! I was devastated, but luckily none of her teeth had to be pulled out. Get her to a pediatric dentist immediately and schedule the appt. for dental work. Trust me on this, please!
Reply:get her to the dentist o.m.g. this should not happen

Could My Teeth Be Affecting My Singing?

I recently broke a tooth and had a crown, but it does not feel comfortable (too big) and seems to be disturbing my other teeth and actually even affecting my singing (the sound is less resonant from that side of my mouth than from the other). Am I imagining this? The previous tooth was small enough to leave a considerable space between it and the one next to it, but the crown does not; could that be affecting the acoustics of my voice?

Our 4 month old lab puppy got hit and one of his teeth broke. Will it grow back, or heal by it's self?

Not if it was a second tooth. Teeth in dogs are much like people they get a baby set and an adult set and that is it. If your tooth broke would it grow back? On the other hand if one was loose it might firm up if you don't disturb it to much. If it chipped it will only grow back if it was a baby tooth and would have been replaced by an adult tooth anyway.

Heh,good news. Pups lose their baby teeth. ^_- it'll fix itself. No worries.
Reply:No, it will not grow back.





You may need to have a vet look at this. If the dog is in pain, do it now.
Reply:At 4 months old your puppy should be close to getting his adult teeth. If you puppy still has his puppy teeth (very thin and pointy) then every thing should go normally. If not I'd say take him to the vet and get it checked out.
Reply:It will grow back depending how much chipped if it DID get chipped. See a vet to make sure there won't be any harm to your dog.

Wisdom Teeth. Do you think they're coming in?

My gums are sore, where the top left wisdom tooth would be coming in. My jaw has been hurtin a little bit lately, so throw me your ideas, i'd like to hear your opinions on this.





oh and just a little story for ya. (if you have a super weak stomach dont read, but its not that bad)





when i went to get my teeth pulled before i had gotten braces(which got taken off in may 2007) the dentist broke my teeth off INTO my gums, and almost pulled the wrong teeth, and not only did he do all that but i had to go in and get surgery!!!! i was in pain for a straight week.....that was honestly the worst pain i've ever been in, so if these are my wisdom teeth coming in, i'm really scared to get them taken out.

Wisdom Teeth. Do you think they're coming in?
At first they may seem to hurt but later on you get used to it and then you barely notice them (a little). When they get taken out I usually think I'm just gonna get another tooth pulled out no big deal. And when the pulling comes sometimes they give you a shot to numb the lip because that's what mine did. It really hurt but when it was about to be pulled out it didn't really hurt. So when they get taken out try to follow these tips so you won't feel so bad, or hurt as much
Reply:My wisdom teeth are coming out as well. I don't feel pain as much as i do annoyance. The gums just feel a tad weird as they are coming out. If your wisdom teeth ARE coming out, you should see your gums forming around your teeth in a few days. Sore is probably a good word.
Reply:Sounds like they're coming in! My advice - go get that Xray taken - there's no way of knowing whether it's something that needs to be extracted without an Xray. Maybe it'll just grow out straight and without any problem!





I just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled this morning about 6 hours ago. 2 of them (lower) had to be surgically removed and honestly, it hurts - but nothing I can't handle. They gave me an Rx for Vicodin so I'm just waiting for 4 hours to pass so I can take another pill! It IS painful thugh so be ready, but remember that it's nothing you can't handle...





It does hurt though, which is why I am trying to distract myself online by reading other people's problems! :o)





Good luck, you'll be fine!

What i should do when my baby (almost 2 years old) tooth broken?

My son did the same when he was 3. Those baby teeth are so small, aren't they? The bottom half of his tooth was missing after a fall. Baby teeth are much easier to break or chip on impact (compared with permanent teeth) because they're so small and not as strong. He didn't appear to be in pain after the initial fall but his smile looked awful. I took him to a pediatric dentist and they put a GI filling on it. It's similiar to a cap but it's white and makes it appear that the tooth is whole again. The chipped tooth has the enamel broken off so there is no protection on that spot to prevent decay. Your child should see a dentist. Preferably a pediatric dentist because they're great with toddlers.





The GI filling costs $60 but that was 10 years ago and I don't know what it costs now. About once a year it would fall out. The first time it was lost I had it replaced for free but after that I paid for a new one each time.

What i should do when my baby (almost 2 years old) tooth broken?
I don't think there's much you can do until their about 7 when the new teeth come in. Just make sure it's filed down so the baby doesn't hurt it's tongue.
Reply:get a cap
Reply:go to the dentist, it may have to be filled or pulled. A broken tooth can decay easily, and it will hurt alot.
Reply:You have to go to the dentist to fill it in and the make probably pain go away. Make sure give your baby relatively soft food and make sure he/she doesn't clench their jaw or chew on anything. Don't worry though. He/She will eventually get their adult teeth after about 5 years. So they won't live with that broken teeth for long. Just make sure you go to the dentist soon.
Reply:Is it just a chip? If more than a tiny chip...go to the dentist incase the root is damaged.

Rabbit Teeth Help!?

My rabbit has always had a problem with his front teeth being too long. Every 3-4 weeks I bring him to the vet to have them trimmed so I do take care of his teeth condition.





This morning I looked into his cage and noticed that he got his top front teeth caught around the bars of his cage. He did this one other time and I was able to help free himself. This time he pulled back and broke on tooth, and ripped the second one right out of the gum. There was blood on the tooth but he doesn't appear to be bleeding. Since today is Sunday the vet is closed. What should I do?! Is it ok to wait until tomorrow to take in to his usual vet? Can he get an infection over night?





I'm very worried, please help!

Rabbit Teeth Help!?
Do the best that you can to keep it clean. Try to give him some soft foods to eat and just get him to the vet first thing tomorrow morning. He should be fine but there is some possibility of infection and some possibility for even more ongoing tooth problems.
Reply:call the emergence vet they will tell you what to do
Reply:Take him to the vet in the Morning, I am sure he will be fine and so will you if you relax and take deep breaths. good luck
Reply:he should be ok. did your vet not tell you that rabbits are gnawers? wild rabbits keep their teeth shorter by gnawing on stuff in the wild. you should give your bunny a chunk of wood in his cage for this. just make sure it is not treated wood. a piece of plain old kiln dried 2 x4 will work. just replace it when he gnaws it up. we had rabbits when I was a child. They would chew up the nest boxes and then Dad would replace them with new boxes. your vet is making a living off of you by charging you for something you can help your rabbit with your self.
Reply:call the vet!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Usually, the front teeth aren't the worst problem a rabbit can have, it is the back teeth (make sure the vet you take him to checks his back teeth, if he doesn't, you might want to find another rabbit vet!).


When there is a problem with the front teeth, it is usually them growing out wrong, which if frequently related to trauma sometime in his past. This does sound like that situation based on your description, but obviously without an exam, I am just guessing.


If the teeth are growing abnormally, they can circle round and start going BACK INTO the bunny, and that can lead to abscess, and those can be fatal. The other problem is the one you have just experienced; the tooth getting caught on something and a traumatic fracture.occurs. In some circumstances, removing the front teeth is the best option, but this is something to discuss with your experienced rabbit vet.


The best recommendation is always have a vet check it out, and in this case, maybe some NON-STEROIDAL pain medication (I like Metacam for rabbits). This is too ensure that your rabbit continues to eat. If it's too painful, and the rabbit doesn't eat, he might run into a gastrointestinal stasis secondary to this, and then he'll really be in trouble.


If you don't have an emergency vet that sees rabbits (you need to call the emergency clinic and see if their vet knows about rabbits or not), then the number one thing to monitor is his eating. Soft food, such as leafy greens (collard greens, turnip greens, parsley, romaine lettuce), are a good choice, although I know some rabbits who continue to eat hay even with severe dental trauma.


As for hard blocks of wood, etc. they will not be as effective has lots of timothy hay in the diet. That is where how most rabbits keep their teeth worn correctly.


Good luck
Reply:1. get them trimmed


2. get him/her a chewing block of wood.(available from pet stores)


3. keep your rabbit in doors tonight.
Reply:Put more thing in the cage for chewing so this doesn't happen again


Sorry about your rabbit
Reply:If he's not bleeding and does not seem to be in a lot of pain, you are probably okay to wait until tomorrow, but I would keep an eye on him and definitely take him as soon as possible to get him checked out. It's not like they make a lot of noise, so sometimes you can't tell what's going on with them.





If your bunny will allow, see if you can hold him and check out inside his mouth to see how serious it is. If you have an emergency vet and you feel uneasy about him, call the emergency vet.





There is a sweet bunny at a rabbit sanctuary where I volunteer that had to have both of his front teeth removed (it was a very severe case). Luckily, bunnies do their chewing with their back teeth, so this won't affect his eating, just his ability to quickly grab hold of things like hay straws.





Good luck with you bunny.
Reply:Keep it clean, and give him soft foods like finely chopped carrots. Take him to the vet tomorrow. To prevent this from happening again put a stick in his cage, so he can chew on it. It will file them down.
Reply:I have had over 20 rabbits. I currently have 2 males. You must provide sumthing for rabbits to chew on and wear down their teeth, other than boredom or being caged up all the time, that is probably one of the reasons why he got his teeth caught on his cage. Give him chewable toys such as wood(not pine) and crunchy veggies. Next, if my rabbit broke his tooth out to the gum and bleeding I'd take him immediately to an emergency pet facility/hospital if his regular vet can't attend him. You try breaking a tooth off your gum and waiting a day to get medical help. This can be VERY expensive, so it's your call and your bunny. You should at least call a pet hospital.

How do you stop root pain in a tooth that has broken off?

Hi, I have a back tooth that broke off awhile ago. Now the root is slightly exposed and it hurts like crazy. I went to the hospitol and they tried to block it. stuck a big needle in it and shot it up with something. They also gave me Tylenol 3. But nothing has stopped the pain yet. Is there a basic home remedy that will help ease the pain? please help I am desperate

Reply:You need to see a dentist. It may need a root canal (where they remove the root causing the pain and cover the tooth with a cap)
Reply:the same thing actually happened to me. you go to the dentist and ask him to take care of it. and if that doesn't work theres a trick my teacher did pinch yourself on the arm so you concentrate on that but try the dentist.
Reply:My mother broke one of her teeth and the roots were exposed, it was causing her massive pain. She took some soft wax (from a candle, after it cooled) and put it over that tooth. It covered the nerves and the pain was gone so that she was able to manage until she went to the dentist again. Good luck.
Reply:No - only a root canal will stop the pain. You need to see a dentists ASAP, and stop taking Tylenol 3, as it is highly addictive.

Reply:Two similar ideas. Go to a pharmacy and buy something to fix the tooth yourself or perhaps with the help of someone you know. Consider gluing it on again.


Otherwise, get filling paste and put in a very small filling, much smaller than seems to be needed. In my opinion, this will be much more likely to stay in than afilling of a size which seems appropriate.
Reply:That is definately an emergency see your dentist and if you dont have a regular dentist ask friends who they would see if your tooth broke and its been a long time you need all of them checked but definately get that one taken care of now

Tooth extraction - chances of teeth shifting??

I broke my tooth a few weeks back (it is the very last one on my top right side). I went to the dentist who said I can have a root canal and get a filling, and eventually a crown if I choose, or have the tooth extracted. I currently do not have dental insurance, and will not have it until February. The root canal and filling will cost me a lot more than the extraction, but I'm concerned that if I get my tooth pulled, my other teeth will shift, causing a gap in my teeth. Has anyone had a tooth pulled on the top of their mouth and had their teeth shift? I know keeping my teeth is the best option, but it's the very last one and will not be noticeable...but I do not want any gaps in my teeth either! What are the chances this will happen?? Thanks in advance.

Tooth extraction - chances of teeth shifting??
Yes over time your teeth will move. Any time you have a tooth pulled this will happen. The tooth below will move up until it has something to touch and the tooth in front of that will move as well. The dentist does not tell people to keep there teeth just because he wants to make more money. He is telling you this because it is the best thing to do to keep your teeth looking the way they are. I understand how hard it is when you don't have any insurance to cover anything but you should talk to your dental office about a payment plan so you don't have to get your tooth extracted. Most offices are willing to work with you. Good Luck with whatever you choose to have done.

Reply:your teeth will definitely shift but not so much as to cause a gap.


from what you describe, it sounds like the extraction is your better bet.

I have a dream of my teeth breaking up and comming out but it is while i am sleeping .?

Yes. My mother, and grandmother have / had the same type of dream prior to the death of someone in the family.





On the other hand, depending on the actual content / plot of your dream, (and rethink this aspect) it could also mean fear of an embarassing situation / situations in your life.





Dreams, remember, due to their contextual, personal, and unique situational nature, have more than one interpretation / meaning. You must take stock of your personal situation, and try to find the interpretation that fits your particular, personal situation. More often than not, the dream is trying to inform you of something. You may need some time to figure out what it is, based on cues from your waking reality.





I have had dreams that portend things to come - usually within the following day, days, week, month, but usually no further than that... with certain recurring animal motifs / images, scenarios etc...





These have in many cases, been linked to events in my life and those close to me - family / friends...

I have a dream of my teeth breaking up and comming out but it is while i am sleeping .?
I dont mean to spook you out, but there is an old italian superstition that this means someone close is going to die. Don't take this as gospel but that's just what I heard.
Reply:no i heard if you lose your teeth in your sleep you're going to lose some friends
Reply:ya that's meant to be a really bad sign... every time I've had that dream someone I know has passed away! Seriously no kidding.. really freaky... maybe just coincidence???
Reply:no means of scaring you but it might mean loss or death of a relative.
Reply:it means a painful or rotten part of your feelings, life or relationships; also it signifies angry or regretful words
Reply:To dream that you have rotten or decaying teeth, forewarns that your health and/or business is in jeopardy. You may have uttered some false or foul words and those words are coming back to haunt you.





To dream that you are brushing your teeth, signifies your level of confidence, struggles and aggressiveness. You need to look out for yourself and your own interest.

Does brushing your teeth break your fast ?

It will not break your fast unless you swallow the toothpaste.





However, without going so far to say that it is makrûh to use toothpaste while fasting, Sheik Ibn al-`Uthaymîn discourages it. He says:





There is nothing wrong with a fasting person using toothpaste, as long as it does not go down his gullet. However, it would be better to refrain from using it, simply because it has a strong tendency to go down a person’s throat while he is unaware.





For this reason, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Exaggerate in inhaling water (while performing ablutions) except when you are fasting.”





Therefore, it is better for a fasting person to refrain from using toothpaste. The matter is easy. If he simply waits until after he breaks his fast to brush his teeth with toothpaste, he will have avoided what might possibly nullify his fast.





And Allah knows best.

Does brushing your teeth break your fast ?
no why would it?
Reply:no because its not eating its just cleanliness
Reply:no
Reply:no! What kind of religion is this! Too hard for humanity to stick to. Take your faith seriously, yes. But don't be bound by it!!
Reply:It shouldn't the bible says that when you fast you should still take care of your appearance. Even if you swallow a few sips of water it is inadvertant and not going to "break" the fast.
Reply:Cleanliness is required by Islam. But if you are fasting you should take care not to swallow the toothpaste or water while brushing your teeth.





Some Muslims prefer to only brush with a plain toothbrush (no water or toothpaste) or a miswak while fasting.
Reply:No, you don't consume it.





BUT, some of those particles of plaque, a living element and possible source of food, gets disloged in your salava you have violated fasting!





But everyone knows they don't bath or brush their teeth anyway, so the question has no meaning!
Reply:No. Neither does taking necessary medication.

I have horrible teeth, fillings keep falling out, teeth breaking off, went to 3 dentists, too much money?

One suggested dentures and treated me like a crack addict, the other wanted $12,000--no way I can ever come up with that, the other said to get certain ones pulled and then he'd see me and give me a price. I obviously have no money, not asking for any, but are there any agencies or cheap dental plans anywhere? I don't qualify for medicaid.

I have horrible teeth, fillings keep falling out, teeth breaking off, went to 3 dentists, too much money?
I do understand your problem .. I'm 53 without medical and dental insurance, middle class but unable to afford the rates they charge. three years ago my teeth started breaking....even the ones with crowns on, I have 13 teeth left, 7 of which have crowns. For a temporary solution till I could save up the money to get my partials I bought the imako shell to cover up my problem (search the internet for imako 49.95 upper plate only) these worked great at least they allowed me to go out in public without that crack addict feeling ...worked so great I wore them for two years till my lower teeth started breaking so I spent 495.00 for a partial for the uppers with 4 missing teeth and Gasp 853.00 for a lower plate with 7 teeth - I did my research to find an affordable dental clinic with their lab on the property ,within 2 weeks I had my smile back ...for three years I fooled all my co-workers


with the Imako shell, at times they made toothless hillbilly jokes about customers that would come into the store not even noticing the dental train wreck I was sporting. My partials fit perfectly and they are more comfortable in my mouth than without (right from the start) over my lifetime an easy 60,000.00 was spent on keeping that perfect smile , dentist visits at least 4 times a year from the age of 12 , but alas I am a victim of genetics (my sister lost all her teeth by the age of 23) plus the fact I love soda (coke) and cigarettes and had no intention of quitting either.


So: I've read some good advice here and some feedback from jerks ...overlook them ...it will catch up to them someday too. But yes do check out the Imaka shell it molds to your mouth the teeth soften with hot water (thermal plastics) and you can do your own fitting and they can be redone over and over till you get the right fit you want. it will give you that perfect set of teeth look till you can afford to get the more expensive work done, I even ordered the extra white teeth plastic and constructed some temp flippers for my lower teeth ....tricky but it can be done - you will feel better about yourself and after all that is what it is all about. I hope someday this country will have health care and Dental for all it's people not just the very poor and the very rich - or at the very least we could all move to Canada.

Reply:Skippy said you need to get job with dental insurance.


If there is no way you can ever come up with that kind of money, why would you expect any dentist to work on you. Do you expect them to work for free?
Reply:Find a dental college in your area. They love to get people like you.
Reply:Look into the dental schools in your area. They will still charge you but it will be cheaper than going to a private office. The dental students will be the ones working on you under the supervision of a dentist. Good Luck and I hope that you get the help you need soon.

If my retainer for my teeth broke, how long will it be until my teeth move?

-Im 14 years old


-I just got my braces off a few days ago


-My orthodontist recommended i wear it 24/7, but said if i missed a few hours or a day it wasnt a big deal.

If my retainer for my teeth broke, how long will it be until my teeth move?
They can move right away, overnight even, but just little by little. Retainers only take one day to make. Just bring your molds in the morning and they should be done by the end of the day. This has happened to me before.
Reply:usually 2 weeks to 7 weeks





somewhere around there..
Reply:not long i say about two ta three weeks so you need to hurry up and get it fixed
Reply:I notice my teeth moving if I leave my retainer out overnight. I've had my braces off for about 5 months.
