how before the bad taste from wisdom teeth extraction goes away?

Question

I'm wondering is going on a road trip 1 day after my wisdom teeth extraction. Is this a bad idea?

Answer 1

Depends: A bad taste after an extraction can be from infection or food caught in the wound area. Have it checked by your dentist and treat it appropriately.

Answer 2

Depends: The bad taste you experience could be simply from slight oozing of blood from the sockets. This is usually gone in 1-2 days. You may also get a bad taste if food is getting into the sockets or if there is infection from the extraction or other teeth in your mouth. Go back to the dentist or oral surgeon to be evaluated for these if the taste persists beyond the first 2 days.

Answer 3

No: It's not a good idea for infants to ingest sunscreen. For this very reason, i recommend that sunscreen not be put on the hands of babies.

Answer 4

No: I would not advise that you intentionally put these on areas where your child will ingest these for two reasons: 1) first, most sunscreens are not intended for consuming and 2) second, they won't be effective if licked off.

Answer 5

Yes: Fluoride, which occurs naturally in some city water supplies, is incorporated into children's developing teeth and helps to prevent tooth decay. Many municipalities have carefully added Fluoride to their water. Unfortunately, too much Fluoride may cause discoloration of the enamel. You should speak to your pedodontist or pediatrician about the proper amount of Fluoride for your child.

Answer 6

Yes: Most kids get enough Fluoride just by drinking fluoridated tap water. Some children drinking well water or bottled water need Fluoride supplements. Too much Fluoride can cause white or brown flecks on your teeth so it's important not to give supplements to kids that don't need it and that you use Fluoride free toothpaste before your toddler learns not to swallow toothpaste.

Answer 7

No: Fluoride supplementation is fine for children, and doesn't cause discoloration unless the children are getting too much fluoride. In cities where Fluoride is already added to the water, children may not need additional Fluoride (parents need to ask the dentist/doctor). Also, children should not swallow toothpaste that contains fluoride.

Answer 8

Yes: If you get to much Fluoride your teeth may discolor, a condition called fluorosis. There are many sources of Fluoride we do not really understand and it is possible to over do it. Check if your community has Fluoride in the tap water and if so avoid supplements and excess fluorinated toothpaste intil your child is over 2 years old.

Answer 9

Yes: Too much or too little Fluoride is a problem for babies and children. Drinking water with Fluoride added is safe and promotes healthy teeth; fluoridated drinking water does not cause stains. Stains on teeth can be caused by too much Fluoride supplementation. Your doctor will determine the correct dose of Fluoride for your child if there is an insufficient amount in your water.

Answer 10

Yes: If teeth are still erupting and forming once teeth are erupted than no.

Answer 11

HIgh amounts: Yes, too much Fluoride is not good. Check if you are in a fluoridated community, want only 1ppm of Fluoride in water. Also, make sure you use ada approved dental products for children, and yes, there are plenty of benefits when using Fluoride properly.

Answer 12

Yes: This usually occurs in rural areas where there is excess Fluoride naturally in the well or spring water. In young children when the teeth are in the developmental stages, this excess fl. Can cause dark spots on the teeth , noticed when they erupt. This is not a common occurrence.

Answer 13

Yes: However, it is imperative that the periodontal disease (bone loss) be treated so that you are in good periodontal health and in a maintainable level of periodontal health. See a periodontist before beginning the orthodontic therapy. I can provide you with a local good periodontist via e-mail (dhschneid@gmail.Com).

Answer 14

Bone loss: It depends on how much bone loss and why it is occurring. Your dentist can evaluate this. You will need to also evaluated if you are loosing bone in other parts of your body. May need a bone density test depending on you age etc.

Answer 15

Absolutely: Your orthodontist will need to proceed cautiously, and it is beyond critical that you have periodontal clearance to begin orthodontic treatment. If the bone loss is being induced by mobility and trauma to the teeth, then correction of your bite could help to stabilize the situation. It will be very important for your orthodontist to minimize trauma to the teeth during treatment as well!

Answer 16

Team approach: Your mobility indicates a periodontal (bone/gum) problem. Unless your front teeth bang into each other when you chew that's rob ably not the cause of the mobility. See an Orthodontic Specialist who will diagnose your malocclusion and, with the help of a Periodontist, perhaps an Oral Surgeon, and your General Dentist, arrive at the safest, most effective treatment plan for your individual problem

Answer 17

Wisdom teeth: No. This is not typical. You should get it evaluated by the doctor that extracted the wisdom tooth.

Answer 18

Wisdom teeth complic: Unless your surgery was very complicated and the tooth was impacted very deep inside the bone, I do not think that to have your lip swollen 6 weeks after surgery, is normal.... I suggest - you seek second opinion with an experienced oral surgeon.

Answer 19

No: Is it swollen or is it numb. Typically, you shouldn't have swelling of the lip. This sounds like it could be a numb lip. You should see the surgeon.

Answer 20

Mouth sores: Sores in the mouth do occur from time to time, can be due to vit b deficiencies illnesses, smoking, i'll fitting dentures, hiv, certain autoimmune diseases, stress etc. Suggest take some b complex tablets for a few days, if does not resolve, see your doctor.

Answer 21

Possible Ranula: A ranula presents as a fluid filled bubble on the floor of the mouth under the tongue. It is caused by a blocked salivary gland. The saliva can't get out so it backs up and creates a bubble. Small ranulas can often resolve on their own. Larger ones (shown here) may require surgical removal.
