does triazolam work good for dental surgery?

Question 4

what kind of dentist performs dental surgery?

Accepted Answer

ALL: Technically all dentists perform surgery as surgery is defined as manipulation of a patients body which frequently involves cutting.  Whenever a dentist "fills" a cavity he is cutting on part of your body- your tooth.  If you are talking about oral surgery or pulling teeth, all dentists are trained in it, just to different degrees.  Some chose to do it and some dont.   An oral surgeon is the most.

Rough bone chips: Generally your dentist will assist you by using instruments to buff out rough bony areas to give you relief.  Discuss this with your dentist.

Question 6

does hypertension have any affect on dental surgery?

Not Usually: Only minimally unless it's completely uncontrolled (bp > 180 for the top number or >110 for the bottom number).

Question 7

should i take triazolam if i am going to have dental surgery?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: If your physician and dentist recommend it and feel it's safe for you to take, triazolam may help calm you before the surgery.  You should have someone else drive you to and from the procedure, though.  Be well.

Question 8

i had recent dental surgery, am i more susceptible to getting endocarditis?

Accepted Answer

Only if valve issue: Dental work can increase one's risk of endocarditis, especially if one has a valve disorder. See your doctor if you have a known heart murmur, unexplained fevers, chest pain or shortness of breath.

Question 9

can soft tissue grafting get paid by medical insurance instead of dental, since it's oral surgery?

Accepted Answer

Not very likely: If it's a true skin graft, it might be covered by medical insurance. But if it's a gum (gingival) graft or a subepithelial connective tissue graft, it's a strictly dental procedure and should not be covered by medical insurance. However, dental insurance should cover it. Don't forget you'll still be responsible for your deductible, coinsurance and for non covered services.

Question 10

as a dental surgery student should i study anatomy and physiology or it is not essential for my major ?!

Accepted Answer

College courses: I my opinion study what you like in college regarding specific courses. Dental schools want to see high dat scores, great grades and a challenging  course curriculum. If you like those courses by all means take them as they may give you a better idea if you are pursuing the right field of study. However, it is not essential. I loved psychology in college and took more electives in that field.
