Question 1

whenever i got to the dentist i get sick, how can i fix this?

Accepted Answer

Nervous?: If you are nervous about going to the dentist and that is what you think is making you sick, perhaps your dentist can prescribe a medication to help you relax prior to the appointment.

Question 2

could you explain why do i seem to get sick from going to the dentist?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say...: What type of illness? Sick to your stomach? A common cold? Fever? Cough? Please repost with more specifics.

Question 3

should i cancel my dentist appointment if i'm feeling sick?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Call your dentst and ask.  It really depends on how you feel, & what sickness.

Question 4

could my sick daughter still attend her dentist appointment?

Accepted Answer

No: Any dental proceedure can cause a spray of bacteria.  If she is already ill i would not add any more bacteria to the problem.

Question 5

i am getting iv sedation at dentist today, feel so sick?

Accepted Answer

Sick: Let the dentist know by phone and reschedule  after your illness passes. If it is anxiety then discuss with the surgeon using a drug to help relax you up front. Talk to your surgeon.

Question 6

very bad toothache , unable to get to dentist, pain making me sick and faint?

Accepted Answer

Urgent care/ER: If your symptoms/pain is severe you need to be seen by a dr. If you can't get to a dentist, go to the nearest urgent care or er to at least get evaluated to see how severe your condition is and how urgent a dental referral is. You can always get pain meds to keep you comfortable but you dont want to cover up the real underlying problem and have it progress...

Question 7

why are dentists oblivious to the harmful materials inside root canals? gutta percha contains heavy metal salts. made me extremely sick for months.

Accepted Answer

Barium Sulfate: Barium Sulfate is added to gutta percha as a radiocontrast agent for x-ray imaging. Gutta percha has been used for many, many years on millions of root canal treatments without consequence. It is unfortunate that you had a reaction.. I hope that you are better now that the material or tooth has been removed. All the best...

Question 8

i have a very bad tooth ache on upper left molar, can't get to dentist until tues. my problem is not all the pain from the tooth but i am sick to my s?

Accepted Answer

Sick to stomach???: Your question was cut off. I am afraid that if you are having a  "very bad" toothache it may be a serious issue. Even if you are able to tolerate the pain, the situation could worsen. Please call your dentist. Many come in for dental emergencies or have backup plans for after- hours care.

Question 9

my mother face across the bridge of her face she poked a whole in here upper gum stuff oozed out the dentist said sick i can't help,  what was this?

Accepted Answer

Confusing: Your question was confusing.  It sounds as if your mother has an infection that needs immediate care.  If her Dentist is sick, please seek treatment in another Dentist's practice.  Infections should not go untended.

Question 10

i have a broken molar have been using aspirin and ibuprofen for pain. my dentist appointment isn't until the 20th. the pain wakes me from sleep. my whole head hurts and it's making me feel sick. is there anything a regular doctor can do? while i wait?

Accepted Answer

:  Your reg MD can only give you stronger pain medicine.If you are in an area where there is a Dental school you can go to their ER or calling other dentists or dental clinics many will take an urgent case. Good luck I hope you feel better.
