Question 1

front crown, infection 3d one dead tooth root canal cant be done, need extracted. bone graft, implant or valplast & flipper. use nicorette mints, 7 alcohol drinks day ,bleeder sinus issues. should valplast now bg next year after quit nicorette?

Accepted Answer

: I'm going to suggest that you follow the advice of your dentist and/or oral surgeon. But as a rule of thumb you'll need to put yourself in the best possible healing condition. Both nicotine and alcohol will impede the bone graft and implant integration/healing process, so you'll need to abstain. As they say no pain, no gain.

Question 2

has anyone ever had an infection in their bone after a tooth went bad?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A bad tooth is an infected tooth.  The infection spreads from the tooth into the bone.

Question 3

i just look at the socket and notice that one of the tooth that were extracted seems like half of it is still there? how did they cleeaned the infection at the baseof the bone with that thing still there. only half teeth is missing?

Accepted Answer

: Difficult to answer your question without seeing what treatment was rendered. You'll need to consult with the extracting dentist or oral surgeon.

Question 4

i have a really bad abscessed tooth (can the infection spread to my bone and my face?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This needs to be seen by a dentist asap.  Not only can it spread to bone and soft tissues adjacent to the involved teeth, but it can also spread to the brain and potentially into the blood stream and create heart valve infection.  Get this taken care of, and wish you well.

Question 5

could i be in a lot of pain if i had a bone infection after tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Post op pain: It could be a dry socket or you may just be dealing with some aggressive post operative pain associated with the difficult extraction. Difficult teeth tend to require the removal of bone and require more healing time than erupted teeth. If its been over a week and there's still pain or more pain, contact your dental surgeon.

Question 6

can a tooth infection hurt you collar bone?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't....: .. Unless the infection is traveling down your neck into that area. You need to have that tooth infection looked at and resolved, and then address the problem with your clavicle.

Question 7

if i have a tooth infection or gum infection, how long could it take to spread to jaw and cause bone loss?  i have appointment saturday

Accepted Answer

Tooth infection: A tooth infection can spread through the soft tissues in days. It cannot cause significant bone loss in just a few days. You should be on an antibiotic immediately to help control and limit the spread of infection. If you are not already on one, discuss this with your dentist.

Question 8

could an impacted infected wisdom tooth cause a bone infection of the skull?

Accepted Answer

It depends.: Simply being impacted may lead to pain but won't necessarily lead to infection, but if debris chronically accumulates around the gum near the tooth' it can then become infected.  If this happens, or it becomes infected for other reasons, then infection can spread to the adjacent bone of the skull.  It then becomes know as osteomyelitis.

Question 9

is it possible to can get an abscess/infection on the jaw-bone even if the tooth is extracted?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: An impacted tooth can cause debris and bacteria to collect around the gum and infection can then set in.  Over time infection around the tooth can spread to and infect the adjacent bone (osteomyelitis).

Question 10

inconsistent pain in left side collar bone, could it come from a tooth ache or infection? doesn't hurt so much but bothersome.

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Typically dental pain does not radiate down that far. In some cases of TMJ problems, that can affect even neck muscles. I would see your md or a physical therapist for further evaluation.
