Posted on July 7, 2011

I am 21 years old without a job or health insurance. My wisdom teeth are coming in and will need to be soon removed. Are "health centers" the answer for me even if I have no income coming in with no money at all. What are my options?

How should I wear my hair to minimize?

Posted on May 28, 2011

This is going to be a stupid question.. but I had my wisdom teeth removed 2 days ago and now my cheeks are slightly puffy. When I wear my hair back or in a french braid it just exaggerates them. I have long ginger hair and am wondering how I could wear my hair to help minimize the look of my huge cheeks lol. I'm attempting to go out with some friends tonight so this is why I am wondering.
Any ideas? Please be nice lol

I really hate my teeth. i feel so self-conscious of them because i had braces and they moved. (pic included)?

Posted on May 26, 2011

it sounds ridiculous, but there's not a day that goes by without me thinking about them, i'm embarrassed to talk to people face-to-face and i feel completely unattractive. it's taken me a lot to put this on here, I just want to hear peoples' opinions on me when i smile with them, what you would notice about me if you met me like this. you can't see the bottom ones but they're more crooked than the top ones.

fyi, i can't get braces right now because my wisdom teeth are coming through and there's the money issue.. FML

here's the link, i apologise for the photo, i have no make up on in it:

i think there was good lighting in that photo.. haha i don't usually look good.. :)

Can the bacteria which causes wisdom tooth infection (or antibiotics used to treat) cause canker sores?

Posted on May 25, 2011

I am wondering because I developed a cold sore-looking thing on my lip after having one of my wisdom teeth infected and then taking Amoxicillin for a few days.

Are these two things related? Thanks!

Piercings and removal of wisdom teeth…?

Posted on May 24, 2011

I'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out in a week. When I went for my consultation, I had to take out my piercings for the x-rays. The only piercings of mine that I'm concerned about are my tongue, industrial, and lower cartilage piercings. I haven't been able to unscrew the ball yet on my industrial (though I've had it for almost 2 years), so I couldn't take it out for the x-ray, but it was alright. I put my lower cartilage piercing back in as soon as I could, but not my tongue because my mom was with me and she definitely wouldn't approve of it (Haa, I know). Anyway, it was out for about an hour and I had to work with it for a few minutes to get it back in. To my understanding, I need to take out all my piercings for the procedure of removing my wisdom teeth, even earrings in my lobes, and nose. Personally, the only two that seem to make sense to take out is my tongue and vertical labret since that's the area that will be worked upon, but I'm assuming that the metal may conflict with some equipment used? Anyway, I'm just wondering how long it would take for my industrial and tongue to actually close up? I'm not worried about me being physically capable of getting any other piercings back in right away other than my tongue, since I know I'm going to be pretty out of it afterwords. I guess the surgery is about 45 minutes to an hour... and I'm just really worried about my piercings closing up. :/

I've had my:
Industrial- Almost 2 years
Tongue- 3 months
Lower cartilage- Year and a half
Vertical Labret- Almost 2 years
Nose- 3 years
Lobes- Not worried about those closing up
Let's be friends. I post questions like this in search of ass holes like you.

Sore/Slightly Puffy gums around wisdom tooth and under/side of tongue sore?

Posted on May 9, 2011

Hi, so I really like to take care of my teeth. Brush 3 times a day since Im home-schooled, fluoride when needed, flossing. Dentists visits all that. But I just noticed within the last day or so that the left side of my mouth was sore on the inside of my gums closest to my tongue towards the back. At first I thought it was a bump on the side of my tongue, then I thought it was from something I ate that scraped my gum because it feels like it's scratched but upon some inspection with my(clean) fingers and a flashlight and mirror, that the area where my wisdom teeth are supposed to come in was slightly puffy and it's sore if I sort of press my tongue or finger back there. Now the very back, bottom side of my tongue is sore too. What's going on? I told my mom and she just said to take some ibuprofen and put some oral spray stuff to numb it if it hurt too bad. But I'm concerned because I'm a worry wart. I'm almost 16 btw and my other wisdom tooth/side of mouth is just fine. And I have no other health issues. I'm on a Birth Control Pill(trinessa) for acne/the benefits and I take an oral antibiotic for acne. But other than that I'm healthy and have had no problems like this before. Please help, it hurts pretty badly when I eat .___.

Can Wisdom Teeth Cause Canker Sores and Swollen Gums?

Posted on May 6, 2011

I think I may have my wisdom teeth coming in and I've researched some of the symptoms I'm having, such as, swollen tonsil, sore throat, sore ear, tense neck, and minor headaches... and these seem to be some of them. Although I also have swollen gums that are not near my molers but behind my front teeth and a canker sore infront on my bottom teeth.
Others have found the gums near where there wisdom teeth are to swell and have canker sores, but can your wisdom teeth cause swelling and canker sores elsewhere in your mouth, not by your molers?
