When I apply pressure to my teeth I feel like they wiggle.  Like, they don't but kind of do.  I dunno, can anyone else do it?

every one does.  if you go to a dentist and he has never seen you before he will check to see how much your teeth move, then he marks it on your record \nit is like a scale from one to ten \none being the least amount of movement \nand ten being a lot of movement

I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt but it isn't all that bad. The needles will feel like a very sharp pinch in your mouth. They may give you four or five needles to make sure you're good and frozen. The second one you don't really feel as much. 3-5 are sort of a dull ache.\n\nWhen they pull the tooth you will hear a crunching sound. There's nothing to be alarmed about, it's perfectly normal. It feels rather unsettling when the tooth does come out. It doesn't hurt but your brain is telling you that it should hurt when it doesn't which is weird.\n\nIf you are really scared call the dentist and see if they can give you a prescription for Ativan or Valium. If you take a couple of those you'll probably fall asleep while they're putting the freezing in. If not you're going to think that this whole dentist thing rocks and it's the most fun you've had in awhile. ;)\n\nI have had 6 baby teeth pulled in my life and I have to stay the worst part is actually waiting for it to be done! The fear far outweighed the actual discomfort of the procedure. I also had my wisdom teeth pulled (I was asleep) a couple years ago. I was more afraid of being put to sleep than I was of the actual procedure (I was afraid I would still be able to feel it and not have any way of telling them). Again, it really wasn't nearly as bad as I had feared. My mouth was healthier and I was happier having it done.

theres a chance that the sinus is allocated near the apex ( tip ) of the root on that tooth, and u have a sinus problem so it feels like it is related to the tooth, there is a small chance that when the dentist was cleaning the tooth ready for root canal that he rinsed some hypochloride out through the apex and that i has got into the sinus, but that very small and u would of hurt almost immediately, i would go see the doctor, maybe u have the start of sinusitis

It's very common to have this phobia. There are some techniques you can try, but the best solution is a good Dental Nurse and Dentist. When working with nervous patients I always suggested that they breath in through the nose and out through the mouth, although this sounds very basic it does help. Also in the centre of the palm of the hand there is a reflex point for the solar plexus (this is where we usually feel nervous from) just put your thumb on this area and press gently and you should start to relax. Rescue Remedy (you can get it in Boots) is fantastic, it's a herbal tincture designed to help with periods of stress/anxiety/ panic etc, it really does work. It's very important that you discuss your fears with your Dentist and try to establish a trust with him/her and their nurse. Any Dental team worth the letters after their names would be happy to take the time to help you deal with this phobia and work with you to combat it. Hope this helps. Just as a suggestion, try working out a signal like raising your hand during treatment when you are feeling panic or sick, which will indicate to the Dental team that you need them to stop. :  )

That sounds like a cavity.  They will numb your tooth and you will hear the drill and feel the pressure, but its not that bad (wink).  Some dentist will put you to sleep if you request it.

It's called TMJ problems, due to stress and you're unaware that your actually clenching your teeth so hard that you're grinding some of the enamel off. You should see a dentist who specializes in this problem, they'll fit you with a special appliace called a nighguard. This aids in protecting your teeth from the amount of pressure you put on them. They'll also go over some stress relieving exercise that you can practice to help. I find that Yoga also helps.

I have half a wisdom tooth (it is still coming through) - I'll be OK for a few weeks, then spend a few days in agony while it pushes through some more - it's horrible.  Worst thing is, it seems to be coming through sideways - ouch!!\n\nAnd I still have 3 more of these to go!!!????  NOOOOOO\n\n;-)

'Lockjaw' is tetanus and a headache would be the least of your problems.  It does, however, sound very much like TMJ, or Tempero-Mandibular Joint.  ?Does your jaw pop or make a noise when you chew or yawn?  Perhaps, you can ask your dentist.  Very best wishes....

Man, EVERYone says "wisdom teeth crowd the others" and in dental school the party line was that this doesn't happen.  But it's like all the UFO sightings...if enough people make the claim, you begin to wonder!\n\n(the other one that keeps me scratching my head is the "My teeth were fine till I had two kids; the baby must have sucked the calcium out of my teeth!"  don't even get me started..)\n\nAnyway, your teeth generally follow the arch they are in due to light constant pressure from your lips and your tongue.  Therefore, IF the wis. teeth are pushing them, if you remove them, your musculature should have a corrective effect.\n\nOn the other hand, teeth generally tend to "drift" to the front and the middle, so once there they may want to stay.\n\nConsult an orthodontist, perhaps.  Good luck!!

You really need to see a dentist about it. If you are really that scared just talk to the receptionist and tell her how you feel about trips to the dentist. You can also relay this info to the dentist him/herself when you get there. Dentists for the most part are very freindly people and when doing a procedure such as filling a cavity (or maybe pulling the tooth) they are very careful that you are as comfortable as possible. You probably won't feel anything but you'll hear some pretty weird sounds such as drilling. All you need to do for this is bring your IPOD or other music playing device and crank that bitch up! The dentist isn't going to mind as long as the wires from the headphones don't get in the way.\nAlso most dentist offices let you pay so much per month until you're all paid off. Just make sure to be on the safe side but most offices won't mind as long as they are getting SOMETHING every month from you.

Yes. Go see your dentist and he'll fit you for a mouth guard. It feels like a retainer.

Oh I know the feeling! Use Sensodyne toothpaste daily. It really helps. You can also go have some enamal put on your teeth at the dentist but I hear that is expensive.

Talk to your doctor and to your dentist and see what they have to say. I would probably say it's okay (except for the painkillers, possible), but to be on the safe side, TALK TO YOUR DENTIST AND YOUR DOCTOR!

the crown is pressing too much against your gumz. Have your dentist give you a shot and tell him to go around your tooth with a cavitron. No this is not normal. Its normal for shitty dentistry.
