I am 15 years old, and my braces were taken off about a year ago. My orthodontist recently took an x-ray of my mouth to see how my wisdom teeth are growing in. They are growing straight, but they are still under the gum. He told me that this is a good time to get them removed since the root isn't large. I've seen answers to questions about people getting their teeth removed, but the teeth were already grown in, so i was wondering if anyone here has had their teeth removed while they were still under the gum, that could describe to me what took place during the procedure.
Thanks.
What is it like to get wisdom teeth pulled out?
This would be condidered a surgical extraction, meaning that there would be inscisions made to remove the teeth. Trust me, although you will be sore and swollen for a week or so following the procedure, in the long run you will be spared the agony of the issues that can be associated with having your wisdom teeth remain in!
Reply:it hurts unless you get iv sedation
Reply:I work at the dental office with a very good doctor who can remove 4 wisdom teeth in 40-50 min.But it also depends on their roots location . Usually all patient are very happy after procedure.For some people we use lauhging gas.Otherwise,
don't be affraid!
Reply:Hey, there! :)
Hi, I think I can help you a bit on this. I am a 5th year (from total 6 year edu) student in dentistry from Bulgaria. I've also had operations for extracting my wisdom teeth that were around 3 mm below the gum (that means that they had a bone cavarage of that range).
Anyways, speaking about the operation - well, after the anesthesia, you simply do not feel a thing, so don't worry about it. And I am not just telling you that to make you feel less worried. I really mean it - the anesthesia is the part when you feel something - for the rest of the time you will be hearing and knowing that something is going on and of course you will feel they are working (the feeling is more like pressure onto the area).
The procedure starts with the anesthesia, then comes the incission of the gum (it doesn't hurt, you don't feel a thing), then they bur out (take away) some of the bone to visualize the tooth and then they remove it, clear the space and finally they put some stitches (they are removed at around the 7th day after the surgery).
Bottom line is that you shouldn't worry about anything during the operation - it is really a standart procedure.
If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer them! :)
Take care!

I had two teeth pulled yesterday?
and after the dentis put the gauze in my mouth I started to gag well I am one of those that gag easily but then I felt really funny as well I was shaking but not like becourse I was scared of the gagging It was uncontrollable shake like some sort of mild fit or something what I would like to know could this have been some sort of side affect or an allergic reaction to the meds I have been to the dentis befor and had a teeth taken out but this has never happend to me ever before.
I had two teeth pulled yesterday?
My husband did that too and later it was suggested that he was allergic to the novacaine. The stuff the dentist used to just numb him with. It was really wierd. He has been to the dentist too. It never happened before. I hope you're feeling better.
Reply:could have been the meds. But I think it was more likey that you were scared to death when you started to gag on the gauze.And the shaking was a reaction to fear.
Reply:it could have been that your stomach didn't like what they gave you or your pregnant
Reply:oh no i gag easily too and when i got a tooth pulled same thing happened to me
you just have to remember to BREATH
in your nose and out your mouth
just concentrate on breathing a slow steady breath and you'll be fine
Reply:Oh honey,
You need to brush %26amp; floss your teeth! I have had reactions from some anestheia that makes you shake.
Reply:i hate that, i feel like i have to throw up,when i had my wisdom teeth pulled,i was out for days
Reply:It depends. If you used local (not put to sleep) and didn't eat that morning, then there's a good posibility. If you used general (put to sleep) and you did eat that morning, then there's a good poslibility. However, you just might have been really nervous and had a hard time coping. As long as you're all right now, it shouldn't happen again.
Reply:the anestetic can cause some side effects. when i had a c section i got a spinal and my side effects included: itchy face, temperature drop, shivering, and feeling high. lol
Reply:I have nothing more to add than what the others have suggested in terms of possible causes. I just wanted to tell Sunny that she is a rude, insensitive, ignorant, nasty person. "Brush your teeth and floss???" Sunny, do you not realize that not everyone who loses teeth (I've had seven extracted so far, replaced by five implants) loses them because of poor dental hygeine? This asker (as she pointed out after your rude response) has lupus and fibromyalgia. I have something called dentinogenesis imperfecta type II (look it up, if you'd like) and my teeth are very prone to apical abscesses (even in the absence of any cavities) Because I literally have no canals in my roots (they are obliterated, due to my condition), no root canals can be performed. Therefore, the ONLY choice is extraction. I have impeccable oral hygeine...absolutely impeccable. However, no amount of care for my teeth can change my condition (it is hereditary) or change certain complications from lupus or fibromyalgia. Cancer sufferers who undergo chemotherapy can also have issues with their teeth, regardless of their oral hygeine. I am just blown away by your ignorance. You need to stop and think next time before you pass judgement on someone! (I wanted to add that I'm not trying to compare my dental disease with lupus, fibromyalgia, or cancer. I am simply pointing out that there are a myriad of reasons one can have issues with their oral health that have nothing to do with how well they care for their teeth.)

Mother was taken to hospital after dentist errantly pulled two teeth - what measures should be taken?
My mom had a bad infection in her tooth, and the dentist pulled it and a wisdom tooth right behind it. This happened last Wednesday. Since then, the swelling has been extreme, and her throat felt like it was closing up, and her jaw hardening. It got so bad that today, my father took her to the hospital - they had to drain pus out of her throat and she's spending the night there.
This is very alarming to me, and my father is outraged at the dental office (clinic of about 4-5 dentists) and feels that they were at fault for this. We are all switching dentists, but I'm just wondering if we should take any legal measures with this. Things like this shouldn't happen, and my mother was in too much pain for too long over this, and it could have ended very badly. What do you think we should do?
Mother was taken to hospital after dentist errantly pulled two teeth - what measures should be taken?
Oh god. Now I'm freaked out..I just got fillings done like last week and they're still hurting. :(
Anyways..YES, you should take legal action. That is insane. Definitely contact a lawyer asap.

Orthodontist told me i needed 4 teeth pulled but never did it, could he have meant my 4 wisdom teeth?
my teeth all seem to fit in my mouth right now perfectly but i noticed that i dont have wisdom teeth yet, and since he said 4 i am just assuming he meant those. i went through my 2 years of braces and he never mentioned it after the first meeting i had with him when he told me.
Orthodontist told me i needed 4 teeth pulled but never did it, could he have meant my 4 wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth sometimes don't show up where they are supposed to which causes them to be impacted...they grow into your exiisting teeth when trying to grow out. They don't fit but still try to grow out. If they become impacted, you will definitely feel it and tooth extraction at that point may be more painful than if you just have them removed before that point. Sometimes they never grow out and all is good but the choice is yours. As for me, I didn't want to wonder if and when they would become impacted. I just had them removed.
Reply:Did he say this before or after your braces?
Before I got my braces on, I had to have 6 teeth pulled out (none of them were wisdom teeth either)... oh that sucked. And I just finally got all 4 wisdom teeth removed 2 weeks ago, 10 years after my braces came off.
If you're not sure, best thing you can do is ask your ortho about the 4 teeth that needed to be pulled, just so you know for sure.
Reply:I had 2 teeth pulled (none of them wisdom teeth) prior to getting my braces. The othodontist SHOULD tell you (or the dentist who's going to pull the teeth ou)t which specific teeth he needs to be pulled out.

I had 4 teeth pulled yesterday, and the dentist told me no physical activity for 3 days, isn't that excessive
she told me, that my gums (where my teeth used to be) could start to bleed again because of rising blood pressure. I understand, but 3 whole days of no basketball, running, or weight lifting seems like too long.

Better safe than sorry, my friend.
Sit it out for a few days. The break won't harm you, and may prevent the consequences your doc described to you.
Hang in there,

Reply:you should do what she says hun as you could lose a lot of blood and that isn't good for anyone
Reply:she's the doctor-listen to her.....better to listen now than pay later.
Reply:Not if you want your mouth to heal properly. Now shut up, turn on the TV and take care of yourself. LOL
Reply:would you rather end up with a dry socket?
I usually tell patients one day, but if your teeth were too close to the sinus floor, I'd listen to her...
Reply:It's not excessive.Gotta have some sacrifice.It's only for 3 days.It'll definitely bleed again if you do strenuous activity.So please,do what she says. :p {Patients complain or question the dentist,if this and that happen to them and they tell the dentist did not inform them-in your case,your dentist is really concerned about your welfare.}
Reply:After I had mine pulled, I could barley eat anything- So I had no energy, I tried to go out and hang with my friends at a concert, the next day and passed out in front of everyone- since I had not eaten anything other than yogurt and water.
I'd listen get some sleep and good luck!!

Should I be Taking Antibiotic before Pulling My Tooth?
My Doctors Set me for an appointment next Sunday (to pull a bad tooth) ,but he did not prescribe any medications
Should I be Taking Antibiotic before Pulling My Tooth?
If you dont have an infection,then its not necessary.
Reply:no usually only an antibiotic is prescribed only if there is an infection present.
Reply:no take motrin or tylenol
Reply:Don't think antibiotic... think painkillers. Maybe Ibuprofen or Vicodin.
Reply:I'm sure if you needed antibiotics, your dentist would have prescribed them.
Reply:I had a total knee replacement and have to have antibiotics before even cleaning my teeth. Before that, I never had to have antibiotics and I had a lot of teeth pulled.
Reply:Depends on if you have a heart mur mur , then yes. Otherwise, they usually don't prescribe you anything unless you ask.
Reply:If the dentist didn't prescribe you anything than you should be fine. If you can, take 800mg Ibuprofen before your dental appointment %26amp; keep up on it for the next 2 days...that will help with any discomfort you may have.

I had seven back teeth pulled and I am wondering which is better?
Should I get dentures or should I get a bridge? I noticed that my front tooth has a cavity. My front teeth are really pretty and I don't want to loose them. Would like a professional in put on this one.
I had seven back teeth pulled and I am wondering which is better?
Your best option would be to get a couple implants in the back and use those to connect a bridge to. You will get more biting force with bridges than partial dentures and bridges are cemented in so you don't have to worry about having something that comes in and out.
Implants and bridges are very costly, though. If money is a big issue and you don't have a lot to work with a partial denture is still a good option. It's held in with metal clasps connected to the front teeth you have left. It reduces your biting force and the clasps can sometimes be visible when you smile, but it's definitely a better option than leaving all those back teeth missing.
Reply:Do not have you're teeth pulled..Dentures are no fun. If you can afford a bridge or implants go that route. I am a dental assistant and I see a lot of patients with dentures and wished they had just one tooth. Keep what teeth you have left, fix them if needed, but see a (good) dentist for your options.
Reply:Don't get dentures, they are only about 30% effective vs. your real teeth. A bridge will last longer, be more comfortable and function better.
Reply:Well, in order to get a fixed bridge, you have to have something to "bridge" it to (also known as the abutment teeth). If you only have your front teeth and have no teeth in back then you can't do a traditional fixed bridge. The only option for a fixed bridge would be a cantilever bridge that has only one abutment. Cantilever bridges do not have a very high success rate.
The best option for you (if you are missing all of your back teeth) would probably be to repair your front teeth and go with a partial denture to replace your back teeth.
I definitely would not go the full denture route. Keep your natural teeth if at all possible. You will regret dentures later.
Good luck to you!
