Question 1

my  first lower molar on the right  broke in half and that half fell out. the other half is just loose and it is painful. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Your dentist: Hi. That's a case for your dentist. It may have broken because of a cavity or an out of date old filling. You'll probably need a crown if the root is salvageable. Maybe more. I'm sorry we can't help you on the internet!

Question 2

i'm online now. type your question here.
i will be needing a crown on my very back lower molar, all i have been reading about is gold, gold, gold,  i ?

Accepted Answer

Gold Crown: Gold crowns can be an excellent choice for posterior restorations. They won't break, and they have a very intimate fit with the tooth so they will last a very long time. If esthetics is not an issue, go with the gold.

Question 3

how do you take out a loose baby molar tooth?

Accepted Answer

See below: Let it fall out on its own.

Question 4

can i safely eat spicy soft soup the 2nd day after a lower molar extraction?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You should be able to safely eat the soup without problems.

Question 5

i had a left lower molar surgically extracted 7 days ago and smoked 2 easily yesterday and think so hard about not getting dry socket ?

Accepted Answer

Dry Socket: Dry socket tends to come during the first week after surgery.  After 7 days if you have not had symptoms you are not likely to get a dry socket.  However, if you are having pain, please return to your dentist for a follow up evaluation.

Question 6

i had lower molar removed 9 days ago.the retromolar trigone area at the bend got pretty tore up and big hole, should that heal eventually?

Accepted Answer

Yes I : The vast majority of extraction sites take 6-8 weeks to heal and should be fully healed in 3 months. At 9 days you've still got much healing to go on thete.

Question 7

can you get dry socket 10 days after getting back lower molar pulled?

Accepted Answer

Delayed dry socket..: It would be unusual to develop a dry socket 10 days post-op, but not impossible. Typically a dry socket would develop on day 2, or day 3. By day 10, the assumption is that a good clot formed and the healing is well on the way.  However, if something were to aggressively disrupt things in the area, it may be possible that a dry socket would ensue. Since they are very painful, get it treated asap.

Question 8

how many injections does it take to numb a lower molar for extraction?

Accepted Answer

: Sometimes one, sometimes more. Every extraction is a bit different. As long as you are anesthetized you won't feel a thing.

Question 9

what to do if i had a a lower molar pulled on tuesday. ever since then i have not been able to hear.?

Accepted Answer

Check with tour OMS: I would try to get back in touch with your Maxillofacial Surgeon. That is not a typical sign after extractions. He may even refer you to an ENT. Good luck and get better soon

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Very rare: This is exceedingly rare. The chances of it happening are very slim..  Going to the dentist causes anxiety for many including you.
