A month ago my dentist gave me a Toxavit (found on the internet that Depulpin is very similar to it) to kill my nerve. I had to get it out after 2 weeks but due to the coronavirus pandemic, my dentist canceled it and later I couldn’t reach her on her phone.

I had to travel in another city and after 3 weeks due to the coronavirus government announced quarantine. Now I’ stuck here on an island and dentists here won’t admit me since they say it is not urgent. But my gingiva has swollen now around that tooth and I can feel a taste of Toxavit.

Also I read that it shouldn’t be in the tooth for longer than 1 month because my mandibula can start necrosing. How dangerous is it really and is there I way I can ge it out on my own?

Dentists here says via telephone to me that it can stay in my tooth for 3 or more months but I’m scared

When I was younger I did not maintain my teeth well. I am now in my early 20’s and have since realized the impact of oral hygiene and now have a good routine. However because of my lack of hygiene as a child my teeth are very yellow, noticeably yellow. It cause me so much embarrassment now and makes me never want to smile. I would really like to get my teeth whitened professionally but I have a few questions..

1. How much does it usually cost (if it varies too much depending on location disregard)

2. Is there a point where teeth are too yellow and won’t whiten?

3. Will I have to get my fillings replaced? Thank you in advance!

Hey guys had my wisdom teeth removed a few days before shelter in place order for California and I’m pretty sure I have dry socket but my dentist is closed. My dentist did say if I had complications to call him and he would open up to work on my teeth but honestly I just feel too bad. I’ve gotten the pain in control with the use of extra strength Tylenol but the taste and smell is soo gross. Anyways anyone have any at home tips

So I had an abscess above a tooth that fell out. I had the tooth removed on Wednesday. And I got a bone graft. I have a 1 week checkup for Wednesday. I believe they have to remove the stitches. Obviously I don’t know if I will actually be able to go in or if they will cancel the appointment given the circumstances. Just wondering is that 1 week checkup after a tooth extraction/bone graft essential? Do all stitches fall out or do they actually have to remove them? I plan on calling Monday to see what’s up. I don’t feel any pain. I was not given any special oral rinse. Not sure if I was going to get that at my 1 week checkup. Or if it’s needed.

Also just wondering in general. The tooth extracted was a molar on the left. So I have started chewing some food on my right side a few days after surgery. How long do I need to be worried about the left side of my mouth? When will I be able to chew on that side? Also should I be able to eat anything I want on my right side right now?

I will be getting two teeth remove on my right side as well. Along with bone graft’s. There was talk of it happening Wednesday. Is that common? Would I not be able to chew in either side of my face if that happened?

Thanks for any reply.

My top wisdom teeth have come all the way through. They’re in the right spot, just slightly slanted (they point outwards towards). Lately I’ve had horrible jaw pain that’s been causing headaches. I had an appt with a dentist to get a referral for them, but due to COVID-19 it was cancelled.

In your opinion, is this considered an emergency? Should I even risk venturing out to get these pulled in the current state of things? I don’t have any confirmed cases in my particular city but of course with subpar testing going on, who knows.

If I’m unable to get them pulled, what can I do for the pain? I was taking ibuprofen but the WHO announced to avoid ibuprofen for the time being :/ It hurts so bad it’s keeping me from sleeping. It’s like my jaw feels crowded and stiff and the ache is radiating throughout my entire neck and skull.

Thanks for any help.

I got all four wisdom teeth extracted last friday and I think they’re healing up well. they still hurt a little bit, I’ve been mainly taking ibuprofen to help with pain and swelling, and hydrocodone/acetaminophen when I need it. I’ve gone back to eating almost normally, still avoiding crunchy, chewy, and spicy foods though. I’ve been doing saltwater rinses after every time I eat as per my surgeons instructions. While looking inside my mouth today, I saw that my extraction sites are white. since getting my surgery, I have not been able to see a ‘hole’ and that hasn’t changed. the white parts are soft and squishy, so not bone I hope. I was just wondering if this is normal and part of the healing process or if somethings wrong? Thank you.

I’m going to see an oral surgeon for a wisdom tooth. The problem I’m having is that I could possibly get referred to a hospital. I have serious PTSD from 6 different hospital stays and I will physically assault anyone who tries to takes me to one. Should I tell the surgeon straight up that any hospital referrals will cause a full on mental breakdown and will not be used? Because I am so stressed about just the possibility of anything to do with a regular hospital I can’t sleep or even think clearly!

Got my braces off about 6 months ago and i’ve been wearing my plastic retainers for 4 months every night but after my 5th month i’ve stopped wearing it traditionally every night and just wore them every other day. But recently for the past 3 weeks i’ve worn them again every night but that tooth is still loose. I’ve realize this loose tooth that i have, might’ve caused it to shift due to not wearing my retainers every day. I brush everyday and floss. Should i visit the dentist or are there anything i should do?
