My daughter was 4 and she had 4 caps put on, she did great! She had to go into the hospital for it but that night she was eating fine and we didn't have any problems.

The first stick of the novacaine hurts, but after that, the most uncomfortable thing is when they have you bite down on the flouride trays and they dig into your gums.  The drilling and filling does not hurt because they numb you.

it does not hurt to get a filling at all. if it hurts bad enough when you get there, you will want them to stick you with the needle to numb it. then about 5 minutes later you are pain free and you will kick yourself in the butt for worrying about it. i am a severe dental phobic and i hate going but i know i have to and there is nothing i can do about it. i wish i was getting a filling, cuz i have to go get all my wisdom teeth CUT out. im scared to death too. dont feel bad, we're in it together. lol

Yes, they hurt, but they are just the first of many things about having braces that will hurt, so get used to it.  Try taking some tylenol before you go to the ortho.  Other than that, there's not much you can do about it.

Happened to a friend. Your teeth develop hairine cracks running vertically. As you continue to chew ice the cracks expand exposing nerves and causing pain. In time you will need                  crowns. It takes several years for that though.

Wisdom teeth that are "Partially in" or what we call "Partially Impacted" usually will not be able to come in on their own.  When they are positioned like this, there are more prone to getting infected.  If there is a pocket surrounding them (a flap of tissue or communication with the pocket from the surrounding tooth) bacteria or food debris can get trapped and cause a localized soft tissue infection.  If you are saying that they hurt you "a heap" now, then most likely they will continue to hurt; maybe even get worse.  Sometimes the pain might go away temporarily; however, it is sure to return sometime in the future.  I would recommend getting them out before they get worse.  It may be possible for your dentist to clean out the area around them and place you on antibiotics to TEMPORARILY resolve the pain until it is convenient for you to get them out; however, this is not a long term solution!

It really hurt when I had mine done and I went through a lot of pain meds and it was for a good cause.Don't be afraid to ask for more and be sure to clean your mouth everytime you eat so it don't get infected.Also drink lots of water,when your mouth hurts you tend to dehydrate from lack of wanting anything in there also the meds will dry you out.

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.

Hi sweetie, well first of all I'm glad your mum took you to the dentist today and well done for getting a big filling done - I bet it wasn't as bad as you expected, was it? It's quite common for your teeth to hurt a bit after they've had fillings put in them, especially if the filling is big like yours. It can take up to a week for the pain to go completely, but the important thing is - the pain should get better, not worse. If it gets worse, you need to go back to the dentist. When I had a really big filling done recently it hurt for about a week, I found that rinsing my mouth regularly with warm salty water helped. I hope it feels better soon, and at least now you know the hole in your tooth is sorted. Now just take good care of your teeth and hopefully it won't happen again!

i had them, they will annoy you for the first 3-4 days, they will pressure your teeth. then you cant eat stick or hard foods. they will hurt every now and then cuz you get them tightened. but when u get them off u may like ur teeth, me i dont think that 2 years of metal on me wasn't worth having straight teeth

Ok, first off... some of these people act like its no big deal to whip a crown off and do the Root Canal treatment. Well, let me inform those of you whom think this... You cant just remove a crown, UNLESS its a Temporary, which ARE NOT real crowns. Thats the ONLY time you can remove to do Root Canals. Crowns are cemented on with Permanet cement, you cant just take them off. They are there for the long run..or until they give out. Otherwise, they have to be cut off! They dont just come off.\n\nNow... For the answer to your questions. Yes, he'll make a small hole through the crown. It's no biggie... rarely do they crack and/or break from this.  We do it everyday, without breaks. So dont worry yourself over cost on a new one. You'll be fine. Once the Root Canal Treatment is finished, they'll place a permanet filling inside it. They'll either place a Amalgam (metal filling) or an composite filling (tooth colored). Most Dentist prefer to do the Amalgam fillings. But at patients request they will do the tooth colored. You'll be good to go and pain free. You'll have alittle discomfort after the procedure, but nothing like the ache your having now. He should give you pain meds, for the discomfort.  So no worries.... you'll be fine.

no not suppose to be normal u have to visit your dentist and make  x ray for that\nmany reasons can cause tenderness on bitting it may be due to presence of preapica pathosis \nor may be due to bacterial flare up\nor due to high spot in your crown filling\nor may be due to failure to do proper root canal treatment\ntry to check your regional lymph node to se if there is bacterial infection\nu have to consult your dentist as soon as possible

Your teeth are going to be a little bit sore because of the shifting of the bones.  It will not be extremely painful, only a minor bit.  The brackets might also rub against the lips, but orthodontists give you wax so that you can make tiny balls and put it over the bracket if it's bugging you too much.\n\nI'm currently working as an orthodontic tech, so I know what I'm talking about :)
