I've had the peridontal scaling done and they numb the area fairly well so it's not that painful, just uncomfortable.

Yes, for sure...the dentist will check you for gingivitis..which u probaly have since your gums bleed, but you may also have periontal disease, which is worse than gingivitis...its from gingivitis not being treated, and can cause an infected mouth...but yea... after you get a deep clean, your gums should stop bleeding, and tshould turn light pink with no swelling.

It shouldn't hurt. it all depends on if your dentist can administer anesthetic well. A lot of people think that is the toughest part. \n\nThen again it depends on how big the filling is and where it is located.

Did the orthodontist give you any proxabrushes?  They look like little Christmas tree shaped bristles.  These work great to get all the plaque out from around the brackets.   Also using an electric toothbrush (like a Sonicare) helps massage the gums and remove plaque.  Some of the inflammation could be from moving the teeth, if you had a lot of spacing and the teeth are moving closer.  But usually it comes down to not removing all the bacteria.  Ortho requires meticulous oral hygiene.  I am sure I dont hae to tell you that all kinds of stuff gets caught around the brackets!!  \nI wouldnt rinse with peroxide for very long, long term usage can actually harm the tissue.  Instead ask your dentist or orthodontist if they can give you a RX fro PerioGard, or if they have it available to purchase in office.  This rinse kills bacteria better than any over the counter rinse.  If you dont want to use that rinse try Breath Rx rinse or the new Crest Pro Health rinse.  I would stay away from Listerine because it contains a lot of alcohol which actually dries the tissue.\nInterested if you are experiencing a lot of bleeding along with the swollen gums.  This is the telltale sign that it is due to bacteria and plaque more than movement of the teeth.\nKey is brush, floss, proxabrush, rinse.  Also try a waterpik that flushes bacteria and debris from around the brackets and gums.  \nGood Luck, remember it will be over eventually and then you will appreciate how much easier it is to clean your teeth without all that stuff!!

I guess you mean getting a filling done because you HAVE tooth decay???\n\nIf so, then no, it doesn't hurt much but it can be a bit uncomfortable. It depends a lot on how much decay there is, how deep the cavity is and how close it goes to the nerve of your tooth. \n\nThe procedure - first, the dentist will numb your mouth around the bad tooth. He'll give you an injection of local anaesthetic in the gum next to the tooth. It doesn't hurt that much, feels like a little pinch, but the pain is only for a minute and then it goes numb. After that you shouldn't feel anything at all. Next, the dentist will use a drill to get rid of the decay, you won't feel anything, but the sound of the drill is a bit scary in my opinion. Maybe take a personal CD player and listen to music if you're worried about it. Once all the decay is gone, the dentist will fill the cavity with a metal filling. Again, you won't feel any pain, but you'll feel pressure as he pushes it in. Then he uses a special light to set the filling and make it hard before you go home.\n\nTry not to worry about it, I've had lots of fillings and they hardly ever hurt unless they're really deep and go close to the nerve, then they can hurt a bit. Good luck!

You will get a gum infection. And your teeth probably will change from the position there are in now.

If I had a dollar for every time someone said I just want a cleaning and no x-rays.  These days there is no such thing as a "cleaning".  If a dentist sees you as a new patient, cleans your teeth, and does not take any x-rays to see inter-proximal decay or bone loss associated with periodontal disease then he is neglecting you.  The dentist can be held liable by a court of law even if you said you do not want x-rays.  It goes like this, you come in and have your cleaning, no x-rays, you have an exam by doc and go on your merry way.  Two weeks later you have a tooth ache so bad that you want to tear your hair out, you go back to doc, he takes an x-ray, and surprise you have an abscessed tooth.  You are pissed and want to know why doc did not say anything about a tooth that was/is abscessed two weeks ago?  Well the dentist could not see the root of that tooth unless he has an x-ray to look at, and that is where the abscess is; around the root of a tooth.  Now are you going to say okay doc, I know that you did not take an x-ray that's not a problem.  Or are you going to think, hey this is the dentist, he/she should know what to do?  Now I am going to sue them for neglect.  If I were you I would save the money for the cleaning part, and get a full set of x-rays to make sure there is nothing serious going on.  We have to see the whole picture before we can give you the care that you need and deserve.  Oral health is not just about cleanings anymore.  You must have a healthy mouth in order to have a healthy physical body.  It all goes together.  Any bleeding in the mouth is a sign of infection.  Any decay in the mouth is infection.  Any abscess in the mouth is infection.  That means bacteria, pus, and swollen bleeding gums.  Yuck, do you want that in your mouth?  I sure as heck don't.  The way that you worded your question leads me to believe that you need some help and an update on dental care.  Go to The American Dental Associations website and read and learn what you need to know about a dental checkup and the importance of radiographs.  The amount of radiation is small, esp. the offices that now use digital radiographs, it is a third less radiation then traditional x-rays.  You can also contact a local dental school.  As a student I was always desperate to find somebody to take a full mouth set of x-rays on.  Many times I would even pay for the set just to have someone to take them on.  At the time I was in school, (2002) a full mouth set was fifteen dollars.  In the real world of dentistry they run from 80 to 150 dollars.  Quite a big difference.  To answer your question after all of the lecture, at our office, for an exam, basic cleaning, and bitewing x-rays, about 130.00 dollars.

I feel it like the whole DAY after I go to the dentist!  I hate when they floss for you and like dig way deep in your gums, that hurts so bad.  It's like "Thanks, I know how to floss."\n\nI wouldn't be worried.  If it lasts more than a day, call your dentist and tell them your concerns.

If your toothache is due to an abscess, working out will probably make it hurt more.  Anything that increases your blood pressure will increase blood flow to your tooth and the tooth will throb more than it does already.  Or...  If your toothache is due to grinding, you might be pressing your teeth together as you work out and this will make it hurt more.  The good news is, if it hurts more when you work out, you can just stop the workout.  My crystal ball and diagnosis by modem also tells me that, if your tooth hurts more during a workout, you can probably make it feel better by applying cold and getting to a dentist!

Yes it hurts. It's basically pulling your teeth into alignment by force. It will get easier once your teeth start going in line.

Although I am not familiar with this, the problem isn't with your teeth - its in the gums.  Try proper brushing techniques.

I would make sure you really needed those teeth taken out . for one when you start getting rid of teeth you lose taste buds, ask anyone with dentures. as far as pain its not too bad because you get lots of pain meds. 4 at one time is a little rough and the front ones are worse then the back

You have to go to a periodontist.  Depending on your insurance, you might need a referral from your primary dentist.  He'll take measurements, do a perio scale (deep cleaning), then do more measurements to see if the problem is fixed.  You'll work with him to see where you go from there.  Do it soon, the longer you wait, the worse it'll be.

Periodontal disease, an infection of the teeth, gums, and bone that surrounds the teeth, is the number-one cause of adult tooth loss. It begins when plaque, a sticky film of food and bacteria, builds up on your teeth. If plaque isn't removed, it hardens into calculus, also called tartar. \n\nThe buildup of plaque and tartar dramatically increases the number of harmful bacteria in your mouth and can result in deepening spaces between the teeth and gums, called pockets. Bacteria trigger the body's immune system to produce enzymes. These enzymes destroy the bone surrounding the teeth, which ultimately leads to tooth loss.\n\nYou cannot remove calculus and tartar underneath the gum.  The dental hygienist or the dentist can do that for you.  They use either the hand scalers or the ultrasonic scaler to accomplish this job.\n\nThe ultrasonic scaler consists of a wand with a small scaling tip that produces a soft ultrasonic vibration. The small, quick vibrations in combination with a water flow give us a whole new level of effectiveness in calculus removal. The benefits of ultrasonic scaling include:\n\n• Increased efficiency of calculus removal; \n• Less need for hand scaling of stubborn deposits; and \n• More comfortable access to the root surfaces, thanks to the small tip.\n\nUltrasonic scaling removes calculus and reduces the number of harmful bacteria below the gum line. It is an important tool in the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.

Not to scare you dude, but once a dentist messed it up with the drill and touched my nerve. It's quite painful.\n\n\nBut don't worry, most dentists are professional and will never do such a thing. If, after my experience, I am not scared and continue going to the dentist regularly, then you shouldn't be either. There's nothing to fear.

I would advise your dentist that you are in this much pain when u go back. Few days after fillings they can be irritable and pain full, sometimes this goes after a few days and if not go back. \n When i had rootcanel few months ago, i used to get a aspirin, crumble it up to powered, and put it on my tooth to relief the pain.
