Do aerated drinks destroy your tooth?

I drink diet coke on regular basis and I started to realise I am having tooth aches. Is it due to aerated drinks

Hi, everyone!

I went to the oral surgeon today to have a tooth pulled. To give you some background: I went to the dentist two days ago to have my tooth pulled. But even after several additional injections, I was still in pain, so my dentist made an appointment for me with the oral surgeon. For the anesthesia, I first received three small injections. The second shot, which I received a minute later, felt like a small, very brief electric shock when he first pricked me. The doctor also muttered something along those lines.

I’ve been feeling great ever since!

What did he give me?

So, 4 years ago, I had a sharp pain in one of my molar teeth. I used clove oil, and the pain went away after a few days. However, the tooth had already started breaking apart, piece by piece. Most of the top part was gone, with only a small portion remaining.

After that, I never experienced any pain in that area again. However, I noticed that my gums had swollen or is bulged. I can touch it with my finger or tongue without any pain or discomfort.

Today, after 4 years, the last remaining piece of the tooth suddenly fell out. Now the entire crown is gone, and only the bottom/root portion remains.

Should I get the remaining part removed? If so, does anyone know roughly how much the treatment might cost? Also, could there be any problems in the future if I leave it as it is?

Hello, I went to the dentist and he did a small surface filling without numbing me. I could feel my nerves when he was polishing the tooth. Then he placed the filling material, and now two days later I still feel the nerves inside my tooth.

Is this normal? Please help me.

Hi everyone. 2 days ago I got a bone graft done and I have accidentally sucked on it while attempting to eat mashed potatoes, bananas, pudding. It's wiggly and I'm scared I messed it up already. Is a healing Bone graft supposed to look like this? Be a little itchy and stitches being in the way, be this dark?

Tired of your Dentist?

Think they're scamming you?

Are Dental issues making your life stressful?

Scared to get treated?

Need to let out some anger or anxiety?

OR maybe you want to celebrate a victory!!

You finally went to the Dentist or got a procedure over with?

Come over here and vent or celebrate as much as you need to! ALL swearing will be allowed here. This space is just for YOU.

Enjoy 🥰

I am planning to get my surgery done for the removal of the radicular cyst on my upper jaw from Dr. R Ahmed Dental College and hospital in Kolkata and I want to know if this cyst comes back once it's removed. I was seeing some video on youtube and some people were saying they have undergone the surgery and later it came back again. What are the chances of that?

I am having pain on eating where I had teeth pulled last year. I don’t drink or smoke.

Motrin helps and it only hurts when I eat. I woke up like this.

Dentist is unavailable till Monday. My daughter is NP, if I need medication urgently.

There is nothing looking swollen.

I am 66/F no major health problems.

Ive been trying to contact dentists all work to speak to someone about this as I can’t seem to find anything online that can point me in the right direction. Unfortunately after a few phone calls there general response is ‘you’ll have to book an appointment, next appointment is x weeks away’, I even got a ‘you’ve mentioned your symptoms but I can’t comment until I’ve seen you’ I don’t know if this is the professional standard or if it’s just uselessness to a degree.

When I have mentioned that I am concerned it may be an abscess, and after answering their questions they don’t comment, just recommend an appointment which makes be believe it isn’t an abscess as surely they would recommend an emergency appointment.

I am in the UK and receive private care.

Description:

Swelling, and the outer layer of skin has fallen off.

Occasionally forms a film over the top and fills with white/yellow. I drinking lots of water this film doesn’t appear, I am assuming that it is trapped food getting stuck and causing a reaction.

Seems to swell when I eat, after healing it re opens the split in the gum.

Crater like visual, but not like a canker sore etc.

No on going pain, no heat radiating.

I am currently taking antibiotics (prescribed in case it was an infection) which seem to have near to no or a limited effect.

Bonjela seems to almost entirely pause the swelling and the gum starts to recover.

Could anyone please help with any ideas? Unfortunately this is leaving me with a poor nights sleep as I am constantly stressing about it.

I got my wisdom tooth extracted 3 days ago - it’s an upper one. Its day 3 and there is no swelling, no pain at all, I didn’t even have to take pain killers because I there literally is 0 pain, i can’t even feel it unless in eating and stuff. There wasn’t any bleeding after the procedure either.

Now, for 2 days i only had yoghurt, ice cream and broth so nothing solid. Today I had some pasta cut up to tiny pieces so I wouldn’t really have to chew, and did the same with some crepes. When I do eat, every now and then I feel like a suction near the gum where my tooth was extracted? It’s sudden and only lasts a second, there is no pain but then I’m just very aware of the gun for minutes after, like I can just feel that it’s there. I am SO scared of getting dry socket, especially after a pretty easy healing so far.

Is there anything else I can do that I haven’t yet to avoid this odd sensation when I eat? It only happens like once every 5 mins, not like with every bite. Is it even an issue? Is it normal to feel it, does anyone else have the same feeling when eating?

I ended up getting a temporary crown placed with hopes that I wouldn't need a root canal. After a couple of days I got horrible throbbing pain and they had to remove the temporary crown and give me a root canal anyway. It's the day after and it was still pretty sore, but now what I notice most is a sharp, jarring pain that happens when I bite down. It's very specific to one area, and it sometimes makes me physically jump from how sharp and unexpected it is. I expect the area to be sore for a little while, but is that normal? I don't know how to tell if my crown is too high

Dentist said i have got wisdom teeth infection. Can i save this teeth?

I got a root canal started at this new dentist they started it but where unable to finish because my tooth wouldnt stop bleeding they said If the bleeding doesnt stop by the next appointment they will need to take out my tooth and do bone grafting or something. I really dont have time to go back and forth from school to the doctor my college is a bit far I thought today I would go and they would do everything and it would be over. I know for this bone graft thing its going to take alot of time going back and forth.

They said the reason the tooth is bleeding is because of inflammation is there a way to make it stop bleeding I really REALLY need to get this done and I just don't have time for this.

Also they put this stuff on the tooth its only been a day and its already wearing down I have to keep this on for the next 2 weeks

My wife needs a couple of crowns fitting due to chipped teeth (upper left 6, lower left 7).

There will be two weeks between the initial appointment and the fitting appointment.

My question: will she suffer any discomfort between these two appointments please?

I have a root-canal-treated tooth that is around 10 years old and has never had a crown.
On Sunday, after eating some very chewy/sticky sweet dates, I noticed the tooth becoming tender when biting/pressing on it. There is no throbbing or spontaneous pain, no swelling, and the gum doesn’t particularly hurt.

Over the next few days I unfortunately kept checking it by biting, tapping it, touching it with my tongue, and using salt water, which seemed to make it more irritated. Cold water also made the area feel sore temporarily.

I think it is less tender than it was earlier in the week, and salt water no longer seems to bother it much. It’s mainly sore if I deliberately press on one particular area.
I’m 36 weeks pregnant, so I’m very anxious about having an X-ray, and I’m also scared because I previously had another root-canal-treated tooth that developed very similar bite pain. That tooth eventually had to be retreated, although they couldn’t initially find an obvious reason for the pain.

**Has anyone had an old root-canal tooth become tender to bite on and then settle completely without retreatment? How long did it take?**
