Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or dental prostheses, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. They provide a strong and stable foundation for these prosthetic teeth, allowing them to function and feel like natural teeth.
Here's a brief overview of the Dental Implants in Pune :
Consultation and Planning: The first step is a consultation with a dentist or oral surgeon to assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if you're a suitable candidate for dental implants. This may involve taking X-rays, CT scans, or other imaging tests to evaluate the condition of your jawbone and surrounding structures.
The full mouth dental implants cost in pune can vary widely depending on several factors, including:
Number of implants required: Full mouth dental implants typically involve placing multiple implants to support a complete set of teeth. The more implants needed, the higher the cost.
Type of implants: There are different types of tooth implant, best dental implants in pune available , ranging from traditional implants to more advanced options like All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants. Full dental implants chosen can significantly impact the overall cost.
Additional procedures: Some patients may require additional procedures such as bone grafting, sinus lifts, or extractions before implant placement. These procedures can increase the overall cost.
Geographic location: The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the region or country where the treatment is performed. Prices may be higher in urban areas or regions with a higher cost of living.
Dentist's expertise and reputation: Experienced and highly skilled dentists or oral surgeons may charge higher fees for their services.
However, it's essential to consult with a dentist or oral surgeon for an accurate assessment of your specific implantologist in pune and a personalized cost estimate. Additionally, inquire about any financing options or dental insurance coverage that may help make the treatment more affordable.

I have what seems like a blood clot hanging from one of my extraction sites, what should I do? My oral surgeon advised to wipe it off, but I tried gently and nothing happened to it, i’m terrified of getting a dry socket or infection 🫠 So far I feel no pain in any of my extraction sites (day 3 recovery)

Hey all so this is an long one cause I’m stumped and very pissed. I 26-M have had had a ton of dental work done throughout my life (little enamel). Every tooth has had multiple fillings, crowns, and root canals. I’ve never experienced pain, just the normal pressure etc. I finally bit the bullet and decided to get some implants on some teeth that couldn’t be saved. He’s one of the top 5 oral surgeons in the country and a family friend. In his 22 years of working, he’s only done implants over general anesthesia which scares me so I begged him to do local and he obliged. The first day I had 4 teeth pulled, 2 implants, and full crowns for every other tooth. I received about 15 injections and had about 6 instances where I felt the drilling and it was excruciating. Then last Friday I went back for the rest of the work, he did about 15 injections again, when he went to extract my lower right back molars, I felt EVERYTHING. I was writhing and moaning on the table, passed out, and pissed myself the pain was so bad. Does anyone have any reason why the numbing didn’t work? My hypothesis is that I’m his first awake patient in a long time and he didn’t properly inject the numbing stuff in the right location. Please let me know because I’m due back in 2 weeks and can’t go through that pain again.

was referred out to dental referral for a tooth extraction. My stitches came out by mistake. Do I need another referral to go back?

At Madison Dentistry & Implant Center, we understand that getting a good night’s sleep is crucial for a smooth recovery after a wisdom tooth removal. However, finding a comfortable sleeping position can be challenging, especially in the immediate aftermath of the procedure. We’ll provide you useful pointers and recommendations in this guide on how to get a good night’s sleep following wisdom tooth extraction so you can wake up feeling well rested:
Sleep on Your Back
One of the best sleeping positions after wisdom tooth removal is on your back. This position helps minimize pressure on the surgical sites and reduces the risk of accidentally biting down on your cheeks or tongue. Use extra pillows to elevate your head slightly, which can help alleviate swelling and promote better breathing.
Use Pillows for Support
Placing pillows strategically around your body can provide additional support and comfort while you sleep. Consider placing a pillow under your knees to relieve pressure on your lower back and promote spinal alignment. You can also use pillows to prop yourself up slightly if sleeping on your back feels uncomfortable.
Avoid Sleeping on Your Side or Stomach
Sleeping on your side or stomach can exert pressure on the surgical sites and increase the risk of discomfort or bleeding. Try to avoid these positions, especially during the first few days following wisdom tooth removal. If you have a habit of rolling onto your side during sleep, consider using body pillows or wedges to help you stay on your back.
Maintain Proper Oral Hygiene
Before bed, gently rinse your mouth with saltwater to clean the surgical sites and remove any food particles or debris. Avoid vigorous rinsing or spitting, as this can disrupt blood clot formation and delay healing. Additionally, be mindful of any post-operative instructions provided by your dental surgeon regarding oral hygiene practices.
Use Ice Packs or Cold Compresses
If you’re experiencing swelling or discomfort, applying ice packs or cold compresses to the cheeks can help reduce inflammation and numbness. Wrap the ice packs in a thin towel or cloth to prevent direct contact with the skin and limit the application to 10-15 minutes at a time.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and promote healing. However, avoid drinking large amounts of fluids right before bedtime to minimize the need to get up during the night for bathroom breaks. opt for room temperature or lukewarm water to avoid irritating sensitive oral tissues.

It's my least favourite type of patient to deal with. I work in a very small town where the general population's education isn't the best. I always get patients that complain about me having different prices from my colleagues (even though the cases we are dealing with are completely different) or they keep asking why an x-ray is required for an extraction even though another dentist didn't require it. I try my best to stay professional and explain to them that each case and tooth is different and has different procedures and pricing. But despite all my efforts, some of them still insist that I do what their other dentist did. Any advice on dealing with these situations?

I am on day 14 after my removal, and wanted to share my story for those who may be scared. There is nothing to fear.
I had intense anxiety prior to the surgery and on the day of. I kept thinking of all that could go wrong, and was afraid of the operating equipment, and drills. Especially since I was going to do local anesthetic.
I was worried for NOTHING!
The dentist who did my extraction was really patient, and kind. He numbed me up really good, and always asked if I was okay while he was working on my teeth, stopping sometimes if I was scared.
I felt no pain, and when he got the first tooth out, I was really surprised how fast it was and my anxiety was gone after that.
Over all the surgery was only 15-20 min in total, for four wisdom teeth to be removed (one impacted)
I had little to no pain after the surgery and healing process.
I am back to eating solid foods, and all my previous pain from the teeth are all gone.
Please do the surgery if you can, it will save you grief later on. There is nothing to be scared about, fear sometimes is an illusion.

TW for sexual, physical, medical, emotional, and religious abuse, childhood sa, suicidal ideation, and self harm
This past week has been incredibly difficult so I decided it would be good for me to write a letter to my mom to keep for myself during my healing process to get everything out and it's been very cathartic (all fake names used). Part of my healing journey has been sharing my (extremely personal) experience with others who understand, hence why I'm sharing this here, and maybe it'll give someone some strength knowing that I made it out. I hope everyone is kind to themselves this week and was able to treat this holiday as a holiday for themselves for surviving their abusive moms!
Dear mom, Happy belated Mother’s Day. My Mother’s Day was spent being upset and anxious so I decided to write this letter. This letter is so incredibly difficult to write and even more difficult to read back to myself. Moving away from my university and back home during COVID was genuinely one of the most difficult things I have done in my life simply because of all of the repressed memories that flooded back into my brain every single day I was in that house. I used to resent the pandemic for forcing me to live in an environment that made me want to harm myself every single day and die every other day, but I am now thankful for the clarity that it brought me as I don’t think I’d have the foresight that I have now.
There is a lot that I want to say. I am angry, bitter, resentful, and traumatized from things that you have done to me as a child and also as an adult. Growing up, you’re never able to fully recognize what is healthy because whatever you experience will be your barometer for normalcy. I thought for a very long time that thing were normal but thank God I now know just how truly fucked up so many of my childhood experiences were. Not a single day goes by where I don’t think about the emotional, physical, and sexual abuse that I went through. I am haunted every single day by things that you did (and some things that you didn’t do) and hope that one day I will be able to heal from what I experienced.
I grew up being close to my cousin Chloe (a year younger than me) who was obviously very bitchy, mean, and abusive. This fact isn’t something you weren’t aware of as I know a fully grown adult would be able to see how she treated and talked to me when around you and come to the obvious conclusion that I should not have been allowed to be around her. She bullied me, called me names, physically assaulted me by pushing me, pulling my hair, and sitting on me with my hands held behind my back until I couldn’t breathe, forced me to bathe in scolding hot bath water that would burn my skin, making me undress and make fun of parts of my body, and forced me to watch things that she knew would scare me. This is the same time that I started having insomnia and struggled in school due to anxiety. It’s also the same time I remember my sound sensitivity starting. Do you remember my childhood friend’s mom Amelia and how protective she was over my friend, Diana? Diana met Chloe at my 9th birthday party and Diana went over to her house for a playdate and Chloe did something to her. She physically reached over and groped Diana on the privates. I knew Amelia IMMEDIATELY prevented her daughter from ever being around Chloe again. I also knew that it's possible she mentioned this to my aunt, but I'm not positive. I know that Amelia is the type of mom to prevent Diana from reading Harry Potter because she thought it was a bad influence on her due to being “demonic”, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she made you aware of what Chloe did to Diana as she knew that I spent a lot of time around her. I doubt that what Chloe did to Diana was ever kept a secret from you. Chloe also forced me to do sexual things I didn’t want to do from roughly the ages of 8-11. One time, we were in her kitchen and she pulled out a knife and said that she was going to stab me. By then, I knew she just wanted to scare me so when I had no reaction, she put the knife away. I was terrified of what would happen if I said no to her so I went along with whatever she wanted. She would go into the bathroom and tell me to follow, would lock the door, and make me take off my clothes and let her do things to me and forced me to do the same things to her. I used to think that you had NO IDEA about this until I remember you saying the words- “you were an amazing kid and never had any problems until you got a little older. I always wondered if something happened.” Who the fuck says that to their kid? Yeah, something did happen and it wouldn’t have happened if you protected me!!!! You fucking idiot!!!! I remember being in our new house and taking a shower with you when I was about 8 (which was VERY inappropriate and should NEVER have happened at all) and saying something that clearly made you uncomfortable. I remember the exact face you made and know that any normal, healthy adult would have done something about it and made sure nothing was happening. They would have made sure I was SAFE, and talked to me about safety, but nothing was said or done. You have failed me many times, but this one is the most painful. Not only will you need to live with the fact that you knew about my abuse and did nothing, but I will have to live with the fact that my mom knew "something happened” and didn’t care about me enough to protect me. I look at my beautiful niece Hallie, and imagine not protecting her like that and want to vomit. I cannot fathom how a mother would have the thought “I wonder if something happened to my daughter to case a massive behavioral change” and NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! You didn’t talk to me, never asked me if Chloe was doing anything, or anything at all. If I even had a minor suspicion that something was happening to Hallie, I would IMMEDIATELY do something about it because THAT IS MY JOB as an adult in her life. You failed me and deserve to know that this traumatized me and gave me PTSD. I am NOT autistic, no matter how much you WANT me to be so you can go around and gain sympathy for “having an autistic daughter” rather than owning up to the fact that you caused what “went wrong” with me.
Not only did you not help prevent me from being molested by my cousin, you also added to my sexual trauma by forcing me to use the giant egg monistat insert to treat a yeast infection when I was 11. I was ELEVEN and you had a bright idea to force a HUGE foreign object into my prepubescent body even though you were fully aware I could have easily gotten a prescription for a pill to swallow from a doctor. I was scared. I had so much pain and itching and needed a mother to hug me, tell me it’s going to be okay, or at the very least, EXPLAIN what I had and how we were going to fix it. You didn’t do any of that. You told me to lay down and proceeded to try and administer medication that is NOT meant for children 12 and under due to the physical damage it could cause. I was clearly in pain and scared, but you kept trying anyways. At any point, you could have stopped and taken me to the fucking doctor, but nope. You then got frustrated that “you couldn’t get it in” and told your 11 year old daughter to shove it inside herself. Then you left the room. I hadn’t even had a period yet, let alone know where my vagina was but you sure felt the need to yet again abandon your parental responsibilities and place them onto your kid! Miraculously, I put it in and wobbled out to lay on the couch because I was in physical pain from BOTH the infection and YOU, but because a child’s body isn’t able to properly fully insert the medication used (which once again I’ll remind you is meant for girls 13 and up), it came out and got on the couch because you didn’t give me a pad. And rather than prioritize your own daughter’s health, safety, wellbeing, and comfort, you were more upset about the stain on the couch and yelled at me. I will never forget in all of the years that I am alive how ashamed and disgusted I felt standing behind you watching you furiously scrub at the stain that I caused (actually, that YOU caused since this never should have happened in the first place!) and feeling a huge flood of guilt every time I saw that couch stain. One of the best days of my life was when we got a new couch and I never had to see that stain again.
All of this caused me to develop anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and ideation, self harming behaviors, having out of body experiences where I dissociate, and panic attacks amongst other things. YOU caused ALL of this and you fought tooth and nail to convince me that it was MY fault for being broken. “There’s something going on with you,” and you made it your mission to never take any responsibility for any of the trauma that you caused. Not only did you ignore all signs of abuse and sexually assault me yourself, you bullied and helped a family friend Sharon bully me when I was “being mean” to (her daughter) Faith. I was treated like I was a mentally ill monster who couldn’t be trusted and always got in trouble whenever Faith shed a single tear because I was “mean to her”. Faith cried at LEAST 15x a day, and I was blamed every time she decided to say I was the reason. You allowed a monster (Sharon) to ABUSE me and had the incredibly wise idea to start passing along what shit talking you two would say about me TO ME, a 13 year old girl. I was THIRTEEN. I was A CHILD. And yet, you came crying and complaining to me about how tired you were of hearing Sharon say I was being mean to her daughter when you could have TOLD THE OTHER ADULT IN THE SITUATION TO STOP. It never was my responsibility as a child to try and make another adult stop abusing me by “behaving better.” There was nothing wrong with how I was behaving. You never once tried to help me, you always blamed anybody and everybody else for your failures. I would come and ask you for help when I was struggling and if you didn’t care, you would pawn it off to somebody else- “go talk to your older sister” “talk to your therapist about that” “I don’t know what to say except to tell you to pray about it” and when I came back saying praying didn’t magically fix my depression, you told me to pray harder. I guess you really thought it was a skill issue rather than a diagnosable health condition! No wonder I wanted to die! Hahaha! I’ll never forget the look of disgust on your face when I was sobbing hysterically and struggling to get out the words when I told you just how badly I was affected by Sharon and said how you played a role in helping her harm and abuse me. “WELL. I’m SORRY if you think I didn’t protect you enough. I know what that feels like because my parent’s took my sister’s side a few weeks ago when we were having an argument” (as FULLY GROWN 50+ YEAR OLDS arguing and bitching LIKE CHILDREN!) No, mom, it’s not the same. I was a child and not only did you not stop an abuser from harming me, you joined in. You allowed her access to me and you passed along what horrible things she said was wrong with me. “SHARON said she thinks YOU’RE BIPOLAR. Do you think you are?” “Sharon told me that you’re having AN EPISODE and are being mean to Faith! Show me your phone!” “Well, I just don’t understand why you keep bringing this up when it happened so long ago. I just hope you can forgive her and move on.” You’re fucking disgusting. Should I go into detail about how many times I asked you to not interact with Sharon more than you needed to and you proceeded to try and force her into my life more? You KNEW how uncomfortable I was with you attending Faith’s wedding and yet, you cared more about how you looked and not only attended, but hosted both her wedding and wedding showers. I have always wondered why you never cared how I feel until I realized that you prioritize yourself and how you look to other people above anything and everyone. There is a clear pattern of behavior-

• When I was 17 and you were painting my fingernails and berating me for wanting to visit my friend up in Boston to see a concert together because “you just didn’t understand why I’d want to do that” and I started crying. You rolled your eyes and said “you better leave now if you don’t want my next client to see you crying because her appointment is in a few minutes.” You cared more about having your random client seeing me cry and potentially thinking you’re a bad mom than comforting me.
• When I was 13 and we were saying our nightly prayer the night that I had my “therapy appointment” (aka, you and my “therapist” chastising me for writing in my diary that I was having suicidal thoughts), when you were praying you said “Dear God, please help (my name)… and… pLEASE HELP ME!!!!” Clearly, YOU were affected more than I was even though I was the one wanting to die because of you. Wow. Your life is so hard!
• Telling everyone around you that I “have problems” and am “really struggling” so you can gain an ounce of sympathy. The way that your friends come up and talk to me is baffling. They treat me like I just got home from the psychiatric hospital.
• Laughing about me with my friends in high school when I was out of the room- “hahaha my daughter is sooooo weird hahaha”
• When I was 18 and you called my “therapist” (who did NOT get my consent before doing this and violated her ethical guidelines) after I moved out and stopped talking to you, you got her to help you write a list of “rules” to force me to stay in contact with you. They consisted of requiring me to “talk to you, dad, or my sister at least 1x/day” so you “knew that I was safe” aka, you wanted to control me even though I was an adult and not living in your house. I was perfectly safe, and yet you made me sound like I was doing drug deals in the morning, prostituting myself after lunch, and had plans to commit felonies later that night. I went to school, ate, and went back to my apartment. You had no right manipulating me into talking to you by using my therapist, dad, and sister against me. Pathetic.
• Telling me to go do my runs on a strange man’s property instead of the road because it’s “safer.” Dad said that this man who I’VE NEVER MET told him that “there are bad people out there who will kidnap her and do horrible things to her, SO INSTEAD she should run on MY property!” Not sketchy or rapey at all, right? And completely dismissing me when I said that made me uncomfortable by saying “my dad knows him”? Lady, do you know any rape statistics? Clearly not, because you’d then know that only 7% of assaults are strangers while 93% are family members or acquaintances. NINETY THREE PERCENT. The amount of times that I’ve mentioned someone made me uncomfortable or had a massive affect on me as a child and you’ve replied with “Oh, well did they touch you?” People don’t have to touch me to traumatize me. You’re pathetic for thinking that.

I’m not mad at Chloe. I don’t feel any anger or ill will towards her at all. She was a child just like I was a child. She was failed more than I was failed. No child acts that way and assaults other children without learning that from somewhere. I blame her parents for what happened to her. I blame YOU for what happened to me. I vividly remember things that my aunt would say the same time this was happening about little girls and their bodies and I want to smash my head against the wall. Children are to be protected above anything and everything else, by you didn’t. Do I hate Faith and think that she’s a bad person because of what happened when we were 13? No. I fully blame you and Sharon. The amount of adults that have failed me in my life keep me up at night. I think about how different my life would be had dad been more involved and seen what was going on and taken me away from you. I am angry with him for that. I dream one day I will be able to sit down with him and tell him everything I have written about and he will hug me, support me, cry with me, and apologize for not being there more to protect me. But who knows, he might defend his child abusing, mentally ill wife and say I’m making up everything. Who knows.
Do you want to know what my sister said when I told her all of this? She apologized to me for not being 15 years older than I am so she could have raised me instead. I want you to sit here and think about how fucked up that is. My own sister wishes she could have taken me away from you so you couldn’t have abused me. I imagine the pressure she must have felt having to grow up while also raising her mother and sister and I sob for her. I’ve sobbed for me for the mental anguish and torture I experienced at your hands. I’ve even sobbed for you because I can’t imagine being even a fraction of how fucked up you are to resort to abusing and neglecting your child- a child you begged to have. A child you had trouble having and prayed for. Embarrassing.
I’m never going to have a relationship with you again. If God is willing, I will never have to interact with you ever again. Saying that phrase “if God is willing” is ironic because you forcing me to pray my problems away rather than helping me led me to not believe in him. How can I believe in something that also neglected me? I’d sit in my dark bedroom night after night praying and sobbing for him to help me. I didn’t know what was happening to me, but I felt broken and alone. I now know that I was a child praying for God to take away my PTSD, and that is not possible. My heart breaks for that child.
You’re a pathetic excuse for a mother and human being. I’m truly shocked that I survived you and your abuse. I’m surprised that I didn’t ever try to kill myself to try and get away from you because you’re a vulture that prays on innocent people. The only important people in your life are people you think will give you something or will make you look good. That’s why you refused to ever cut ties with Sharon, you knew she was sexually abused as a child and you couldn’t POSSIBLY NOT be her friend because you need her to be your “friend,” or rather, your token sexually abused as a child friend. I genuinely hope that you get better and become a normal healthy person but I won’t ever be around to see it. I hope you feel even a fraction of the pain and abandonment that I have felt my entire life. Happy Mother’s Day, but today isn’t Mother’s Day for me, it’s Daughter’s Day. Moving far away from you one month ago has truly saved my life. Instead of trying to survive, I am enjoying my life. I would have died in that house. I get to finally celebrate being away from you and celebrate myself for staying strong and fighting when I could have easily given up. You once told me “you feel like I HATE you!” to guilt me into fawning over you and telling you how much I loved you, but now you get the opposite. I DO hate you and hate how you have permanently changed me and I wish to never see you again. Instead of praying for the “God forsaken, atheist, lost, evil, liar, miserable, spiteful, hateful, disgusting, mentally ill, “autistic” daughter, pray for yourself. Pray for God’s forgiveness for emotionally, medically, physically, sexually, and religiously abusing and neglecting me. You deserve to remain in your "clueless" state of "having NO IDEA what you did wrong to make her stop talking to me!" for the rest of your life.Happy Daughter’s Day.

Hello everyone,
On Friday 05/17 (2 days ago) I had my upper left wisdom tooth extracted and my bottom wisdom teeth I had coronectomies on. The swelling on the right side of face is a lot less significant than my left side since it was just that one tooth that was messed with on the right. My left side, however, is insanely swollen. My cheek feels hard like its one giant lump and my bottom lip has "sunken in" so that you can't really see it. The swelling has also made its way up toward my eye and slightly up the side of my nose. It is pulling on the inner corner of my eye. I have followed all directions such as icing on and off every 20 mins for the first two days, taking my medications as prescribed (alternating the narcotic pain medicine with Ibuprofren every 2 hours), and today I started using a warm compress to no avail. I know it's only been 2 days since I had this procedure done, but this seems like a whole lot of swelling. The upper left tooth took longer to pull than expected because the root was hooked at the end.
With that being said, the feeling of my face being stretched to its limit on the left side is super uncomfortable. I can't bite down completely, I can't see much of my bottom lip, and the swelling is navigating toward my left eye. Is this amount of swelling normal? I can't even talk without it sounding weird.

We recognize that wisdom tooth removal is a common dental procedure that many individuals undergo. It’s natural to have questions about the recovery process, including how soon you can resume normal activities such as speaking. In this guide, we’ll provide insights into the timeline for regaining speech abilities after wisdom tooth removal, ensuring you feel informed and prepared for your recovery journey.

Understanding Wisdom Tooth Removal

Experience care and comfort with wisdom teeth removal at Madison Dentistry & Implant Center. Our expert team utilizes advanced techniques to ensure a smooth extraction process tailored to your unique needs. Visit us to maintain your dental health and enjoy a quick recovery with our personalized and compassionate approach to wisdom teeth removal.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood. Due to factors like impaction, overcrowding, or misalignment, many individuals require wisdom tooth removal to maintain oral health. This procedure involves the surgical extraction of one or more wisdom teeth, often performed under local anesthesia or sedation for patient comfort.

How Soon Can You Talk After Wisdom Tooth Removal?

The timeline for regaining speech abilities after wisdom tooth removal can vary depending on individual factors such as the number of teeth extracted, surgical complexity, and the body’s natural healing process. Here’s a general overview of what to expect:

Immediate Post-Procedure Period

Immediately after wisdom tooth removal, it’s common to experience numbness, swelling, and minor discomfort in the mouth and jaw.
Speech may be affected initially due to these factors, as well as the presence of gauze placed over the surgical sites to control bleeding.
First Few Hours to Days
In the hours following the procedure, speech may be slurred or difficult due to residual numbness and swelling.
As the effects of anesthesia wear off and swelling begins to subside, speech may gradually improve.
It’s essential to rest and avoid talking excessively during this initial recovery period to minimize discomfort and promote healing.

First Week

Throughout the first week of recovery, speech should continue to improve as swelling decreases and normal sensation returns to the mouth.
While some patients may experience minor difficulties articulating certain sounds or words, communication abilities typically return to normal within this timeframe.
It’s advisable to speak slowly and gently to avoid placing excessive strain on the jaw and surgical sites during this early phase of healing.
Long-Term Recovery
By the end of the first week to ten days post-surgery, most patients can speak comfortably and clearly without significant impediments.
However, it’s essential to continue following post-operative care instructions provided by your dental surgeon to ensure optimal healing and prevent complications.
At Madison Dentistry & Implant Center, our priority is to provide comprehensive care and support throughout every stage of your dental treatment journey, including wisdom tooth removal. While speech may be temporarily affected immediately after the procedure, rest assured that your ability to communicate will gradually improve as you heal.
If you have any concerns about your recovery or speech during the postoperative period, don’t hesitate to reach us out to our experienced dental team for guidance and assistance. We’re here to help you achieve a smooth and successful recovery after wisdom tooth removal.

My #10 spontaneously chipped off one day and I was diagnosed with resorption and was told my best option was extraction and implant. This was August 2023, I am 24M with no history of dental or other diagnosed medical conditions. I've never had so much as a cavity and have no history of trauma to the mouth or head. My implant was performed in late August, abutment added in October. In January 2024 when my dentist attempted to place the new tooth in, my implant spun in the socket and it was determined that osseointegration had completely failed.
I had my second implant procedure done 9 days ago. On day 6 of post-op, I woke up in severe pain (after having no pain at all since day 3 post-op) that was a stinging, stabbing, nerve-pain-like sensation running down my face and neck from the implant site. That has persisted for four days straight now. I have not been able to make contact with my oral surgeon and will be calling first thing tomorrow (Monday) or driving myself to the office if they do not respond. I have my follow up scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, regardless. For now I am pounding Advil and coping.
Any ideas what is going on, and what the likely next step is?

This thing appeared in my mouth today. To clarify I had a wisdom tooth extraction about a month and a half ago and been having pain in the extraction area for about a week. Now this thing appeared next to the extracted tooth. I also have swollen gums and burning pain in that area. Any help is appreciated.

I'm highly debating between the two. My dentist recommended a RC, but I'm wondering if an extraction will just be easier and quicker. I don't have any pain, which is odd. I just get a sore jaw. Today it felt like my mouth had been numbed and my whole right side of my face had little feeling and my shoulder was also sore.
It's been two weeks since my dentist said I needed a root canal and I only haven't had it done because I'm waiting for my state insurance to approve it. I called my insurance and they said that my procedure was "under review because it needs to be deemed medically necessary". I was extremely frustrated and explained that I'm uncomfortable and worried about the infection spreading. The tooth isn't abscessed, and so far I have no swelling. But I do sometimes get random chest pain on the right side, or middle, of my chest. I don't know if it's associated to the tooth, anxiety, or my heartburn.
My dentist did offer to extract the nerve and put a temporary filling while we wait for approval. Would this provide instant relief?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat deposits to enhance and contour specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, and arms. Utilizing techniques like tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), laser-assisted liposuction (LAL), and power-assisted liposuction (PAL), surgeons can effectively target and extract fat cells. The procedure offers aesthetic benefits, including improved body contours and increased self-confidence, though it carries risks such as infection, scarring, and uneven results. Ideal candidates are those near their target weight with good skin elasticity, seeking to refine body shape rather than achieve significant weight loss. Recovery involves a brief period of downtime, with full results visible over several months as the body heals and adjusts.

So my 20 year old root canal tooth (#9, top front) fractured in the back where my gum line is. It’s loose but I’m eating soft foods and using my back teeth only to eat.
There’s been a odor since this happened a week ago right at the gum line where the fracture is.
I can’t get my extraction and implant done until June 17th. Apparently this entire thing is a long process. I was told to “be careful” in the meantime.
I’m TERRIFIED of getting an infection. I’m going tomorrow for my imprint but I wanted to ask if there was anything temporary that could be done. Are composite fillings a thing to help minimize the risk of bacteria getting in? I’m brushing/flossing/mouthwashing 3x/day but I’m still concerned.
Thanks for your help!

I wanted to get input from others who have been in similar situations. TLDR: I want to open up to my close friend about my purging, but I live with them and I'm scared that it may make them uncomfortable or worry.
I've been dealing with symptoms of bulimia for a long time now, but only started purging about a year and a half ago. Because of that and poor mental health making it hard to keep up with oral hygiene, I am currently in the middle of getting about $4k worth of dental work done, luckily insurance covered about half, but I had to take out a loan for the rest. So far I got a tooth pulled, and I haven't purged since then because I'm scared of hurting the extraction site.
I live with a close friend, and while I've told them I struggle a lot with disordered eating, I haven't ever told them about my purging. I used to only purge home alone, then only when my roommates were in bed, now I don't care and will wait a little after a meal and go to the bathroom even if they're right in the other room. So if I tell them, it will be easy for them to realize when I have. But I'm so scared of ending up ruining all the expensive work I'm getting done on my teeth, and I want to tell my friend about my purging so I have someone in my personal life that knows that I can trust because I need the support. But I don't want to make them uncomfortable or worry if I go to the bathroom for too long too close to dinnertime.

So I’ve been recommended by my dentist to remove my partially erupted wisdom tooth (#32) . Currently I have a mild case of pericoronitis, it is very painful to touch, swollen gums and quite a bit of redness. However I can still eat and open my mouth with no issues. I am taking antibiotics currently.
I’ve also had a CT scan done which indicates that my wisdom teeth are quite high risk for nerve damage, so now I am stuck in this limbo where I either deal with reoccurring wisdom tooth infection or I take the risk and potentially damage my nerve.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any suggestions?

long time lurker, first time poster, been dealing with TMJ off/on since a root canal 2 years ago
flash forward and i have 2 chipped teeth that need root canals and I'm...conflicted. One is right next to the other capped tooth from the root canal 2 years ago, last molar on the top left, second is second to the last molar on the bottom right. I have severe anxiety about not being able to leave situations (i.e. when i have a bunch of metal in my mouth for root canals) so I have to be put out for those and they're also just $$$
how bad might it be for me if I just...had them extracted? I'm sure the exposed nerves are upsetting my TMJ so much right now as I've been super stressed trying to eat with them n the flare up has been so painful I can hardly do anything. (I'm trying to do massages/take ibuprofen etc. but I'm at a peak point where hardly anything is helping)
does anyone have experience with just chucking their teeth instead of getting a root canal/cap? I genuinely kind of regret my first one considering it was the thing that started me down this painful path anyway.
