was surprised at how healthy the root looks compared to the crown of the tooth.
but since it contributed obviously to the reason why I'm no antibiotics (got ill and faint like b4 hand from it) it's a relief it's outta there.
Anyway, was pleasantly surprised that when alternating "gauze times" for clotting, that it was advised after the 3rd time to place a dry tea bag over it as well. apparently 'something in the tea aids to help it to clot'. anyone out there know what ingredient this is in the tea that functions like this?
Curious to know!
thanks :-)
time for gardening now
Just had my rotten wisdom tooth ripped out of my skull, HAHAHAAHA!ya know what?
Tannic acid. Used for tanning hides in the old days. It stops the bleeding by toughening up your gums.
Reply:a doctor told u to use a tea bag???
Reply:I m surprised too that a doctor told u to use a tea bag...not that it's a bad thing but they try not to cross the line into natural home remedies. It is the caffeine in the tea that reduces the swelling ,numbs, and shrinks the tissue. The plus is that it's already wrapped up in the disposable little cloth!!
Reply:Tea contains Tannic Acid which may help to reduce the bleeding by helping to form a clot by contracting bleeding vessels.
Reply:Did you have a wisdom tooth removed at the dentist or in hospital? I'm only curious because a couple of weeks ago I had an extraction of a molar that was a nightmare. It seems what could go wrong - did go wrong. I went back yesterday to have some of the bone removed that was coming through the roof of my mouth and lo and behold, I had a fourth root removed that the dentist who had spent over an hour in my mouth two weeks before - had missed!
I sincerely hope you keep as upbeat as you are now and all your suffering was done before it was removed. Hooray for tea bags, what a could excuse to brew up! lol

Is rotting teeth neglect?
If a child has rotten brown teeth obviously from not brushing and eating too many sweets, still drinking juice from a bottle a cause for concern or not? The child is 3. ( not my child btw)
Is rotting teeth neglect?
Well, being concerned about some1 else's child is very nice. Having a child with rotten theeth isn't very gd. Sometimes children and ppl sometimes have rotton teeth because it runs in the family. But unless the child is snogging and sneaking sweets when his mother ins't looking, it is pretty much neglect, make sure the child goes to the dentist straight away, lays of sweets for a while and does some gd brushin or the child's teeth will fall out by the age of 40 or less!!
[x] Take gd care, Becca [x]
Reply:Yeah- I would think this means the parent in not taking care of the child. Any parent taking care of their child would be taking care of their teeth too.
Reply:i would sugest a dentist visit. could be the child was born without enamel on his teeth. (my brother was born without enamel on his teeth too, it happens, but not getting it checked is more a case of neglecting the childs needs then the fact they are rotten. aside from that what is a 3 year old still doing on a bottle? my daughter wasd drink8ing from a cup by the time she was 2.
Reply:neglect by the parent(s)...kids follow from example.
Reply:i would think so that sounds terrible
my 3yr old son has lovely white teeth.
Reply:yes..it is absolute neglect %26amp; bad parenting! child will suffer much more now as the dentist will need to sort it out..when it all could have been avoided!!
Reply:Neglect. The child should NOT have juice in a bottle as it sits on the teeth and the sugar stays in contact for far too long. A dentist would tell the mother this too but she clearly doesn't take the child to one at all. Sweets in moderation alongside proper dental care would be ok.
Reply:Yes it is a cause for concern, I've never heard of that in such a young child.
Child needs to go to the dentist asap.
Reply:It's easy to jump to conclusions, could be a hereditary problem or some other problem with the teeth. Or could be neglect as you suggest. Talk to the parents about your concerns if you can. If you are certain it is neglect then talk to social services.
Reply:You should take a child to the dentist every 6 months from when their 1st tooth appears.
At the child's age you should stand with them when they brush their teeth.
So I would say the child is being mildly neglected but if you do have any other worries you should call the NSPCC
Help for adults
Worried about a child? Call the NSPCC Child Protection Helpline on 0808 800 5000.
Reply:WE know its wrong, but know where you are comin from, dont interfere, we , Me, Did, and lost a "friend", shame, but stand by what I said, the child wont thank them for all the sweets when she is older, my little gal only has fruit, with sweets only as a special treat, feel if she wants sweets she can make her own mind up, when she is older, meanwhile, I wont "neglect her" when she doesnt have a choice, Carrot sticks, cucumber, STRAWBERRIES, or rubbish Enumbered "sweets" even as an adult, I know what 1 I would want.
Reply:id say so but the parent who is neglecting the teeth probably wouldnt.......a friends daughter had to have all her front teeth removed due to chronic decay at the age of 2 and it was everyones fault but the parents!
Reply:mt niece had 4 teeth taken out by age 4, she has had lice since she was 1. Yes it is neglect most defiantly.
Reply:aw the poor child, its totally the parents fault, the child is too young to know itself and as a result will suffer from toothache, shame on parents like this
Reply:My friends daughter is almost 6 and had to have 7 teeth removed at the beginning of this month because they were crumbling! The mum is adamant its because she is lactose intolerant and has to have special milk (?) errrrrr no........lactose free milk has less than half the sugar of normal cows milk!
She seems to forget that I was there when she was letting her little girl drink Coke and Irn Bru when she was 2 and 3 and was (and still is) always giving her sweets!!!
The poor kid has a mouthful of gums now and her mum blames everyone but herself and has still not learned her lesson and gives her fizzy drinks and sweets even now.
I absolutely agree that it is neglect on the parents behalf, either through giving them sugary crap to eat/drink and not brushing their teeth properly! My daughter is almost 6 and has beautiful white teeth
Reply:In most cases, yes.....I have watched many-a-child, and I remember one in particular in a similar way. She was barely three, still in diapers, went to bed with a bottle, parents gave her Skittles for breakfast......oh, yeah - definitly neglect. As a three-year-old, she should have been WELL out of diapers, LONG OFF the bottle, and Skittles for breakfast? No wonder she had rotten teeth! Yes, I believe the child is being neglected. If you have such concerns for this child, you can ask the parent what she or he is doing to take care of the problem, or if that doesn't work, try Child Protective Services (not to be mean, but the child needs someone to help!).
Reply:A lot of children get this. I was the target of accusations of "neglect" because at 2 years old, my now 9 year old, had "bottle rot". A few years later, the same jerk who accused me of not properly caring for my little girl's teeth (even though I brushed, didn't give her a bottle at night and kept sugary snacks to a minimum) ran into the same problem with her child although she was just as vigilant about her baby's oral hygene as I was with mine. I feel sorry for the child but it looked good on the b***h for being such a condescending, judgemental know it all. If you have a problem with this person just let it go, because it happens to the best of us, and our children. If you know that this child is actually being "neglected" have a talk with the mother before you do something irrational based on your opinions. Now, if this child has had rotting teeth for a while and nothing is being done to fix them, then that would be neglect.
Reply:I would consider it child neglect. as a child should have regular checkups starting at age 1 and continuing till adult hood. the child u are describing will need tons of dental work and should of been off the bottle at age 2 at the very latest. if u can speak up to the parents and tell them that they are ruining the childs health, and if that doesnt work then u need to let the chips fall where the may when the child either starts pre-school or kindergarten, which ever happens first.
Reply:As a former child care provider for 12 years, I have cared for many children over the years and out of all those children I only had one who's teeth rotted like that. It was because he was given chocolate milk every night in a bottle when he went to bed. The chocolate was 1/4 an inch thick in the bottle. I know this because they told me they gave it to him every night and he was brought in each morning with a bottle of it. This poor kid suffered like you have no idea! His baby teeth rotted at the gum line and so he never had front teeth , ever!
They had something like dentures glued into his mouth to make it look like he had teeth until his permanent ones came in. He fell one day and hit his mouth and it broke them loose and his mouth bled like crazy and they had to take them out and let him go until his permanent teeth came in.
I guess it is possible for a child's teeth to rot even though they are not given sugary drinks and foods all the time or in bottles and their parents try to take care of their teeth... but it isn't likely at all. If a parent sees this starting to happen they need to get the child to a dentist. It is neglect when the
parent(s) see something like this happening and do nothing about it.
Reply:The child is probably still sucking a bottle. At age 3 it's uncommon, but I've seen it happen. If the child is still on a bottle, they may be allowed to fall asleep while drinking it. This will cause the teeth to rot. Especially if the child is allowed to drink sodas or soft drinks. Anything really. The parent may not know this. I doubt that it's neglect. They should take the child to a dentist, as this will cause other health related issues.
Reply:i would consider this as neglect as they are not providin services for the child to have good health
for example providing too much sugar etc
and not showing the child how to brush their teeth
report them to the social
Reply:Hi Maria
It could be neglect, but drinking a lot of juice from a bottle mainly dilute stuff ,could be the main cause the best advice is to take the child to see a dentist who could tell better
Reply:yes. I think that getting a child off the bottle as quickly as possible is one of the best things for their teeth. Even baby teeths hould be maintained, a lot of people say well those are just going to fall out but neglecting them can cause long term issues with a kids gums.
Reply:no i dont think this is a sign of neglect , well i no its not because my 2 children out of 5 have poorly teeth. most of the time its not due to sweets and bottles. my boys have had accidents one got hit in the mouth with handle bars of a bike when someone was riding it and the other fell over a bean bag and smacked hes face on wooden flooring. which broke hes teeth. id be upset if someone said to me that id neglected my children.
Reply:I THINK YOU KNOW ITS BAD PARENTING and juice from bottle at that age not only make goofy brown teeth its prob unhygenic
Reply:Yes definitely. It's not hard to look after a child's teeth. Not to many sweets etc and regular brushing. Not rocket science is it.
A three year old shouldn't be drinking juice, or anything else, from a bottle.
Reply:My parents never made my brother and I brush our teeth when we were kids and now we are paying the price by having horrible teeth and paying a fortune to get them put right.

Which is most unattractive - crooked teeth or yellow & stained teeth?
Heya, just wondering which do you dislike more - teeth that are crooked/crowded or teeth which are yellowy or stained. And I don't just mean in a potential partner, just people in general. Personally I think no one's perfect and don't mind crooked teeth cos they can be expensive to fix, but I really dislike browny rotten looking teeth because it makes it look like the person never brushes them.
Which is most unattractive - crooked teeth or yellow %26amp; stained teeth?
I can handle crooked, sometimes that just can't be helped, we don't get to choose which way our teeth grow in all the time.
But yellow and stained are the worst. This implies a hygiene issue, and that's a thumbs down.

Crooked teeth well like you said that is fixable and not everyone can pay 4000.00 for straight teeth... But a brush is only 2.00 and tooth paste is about 4.00 so that has no excuse!

If they have dirty looking stained or yellow teeth wouldn't it put you off?

Yellow and stained teeth are a different story, everyone can afford a toothbrush and toothpaste, and put aside three to five minutes to use it everyday. If you can't take the time to take care of your teeth, how can you have time to give attention to anyone elses needs.

Which is most unattractive - crooked teeth or yellow %26amp; stained teeth?
I can handle crooked, sometimes that just can't be helped, we don't get to choose which way our teeth grow in all the time.
But yellow and stained are the worst. This implies a hygiene issue, and that's a thumbs down.

Reply:Yellow and stained, is a sign of someone who doesnt take care of themselvs, which is disgusting!!!! Sometimes you can't help crooked, but at least they are healthy!
Reply:yellow and stained is worse, regular brushing should help that, but crooked teeth, not something that can be easily (or cheaply) remedied.
Reply:I DON'T LIKE TO SEE REALLY BROWN TEETH THAT LOOK LIKE THEY ARE NEVER BRUSHED. MIND YOU MY TEETH ARN'T BRILLIANT WHITE SO WHO AM I TO JUDGE!!?
Reply:I just got my teeth lazered and what a difference. I feel like a new woman. Definately I would say discouloured is worse.
Reply:i just put mine in a glass at night. there not crooked or yellow just Sterdent white
Reply:I really hate both but if I had to choose one I would go with yellowy stained nasty teeth... Uhhhhh just means I don't brush, drink to much soda/coffee, or smoke... I hate it when someone talks to you and has nasty teeth... White smile is very important at least to me! Crooked teeth well like you said that is fixable and not everyone can pay 4000.00 for straight teeth... But a brush is only 2.00 and tooth paste is about 4.00 so that has no excuse!
Reply:Simple..... if someone had crooked teeth you would probably still kiss them, as long as it wasn't dangerous!!!!
If they have dirty looking stained or yellow teeth wouldn't it put you off?
I vote against the discoloured teeth.... yuk!!!

Being crooked can't be blamed on someones lack of care.
yellow and stained can.
Reply:Yellow and Stained...shows your lack of self maintenance.
Reply:Yellow / brown stained is awful, or missing, I still laugh at that scene in shanghai noon, when Wilson chats up a 'lady of the night' who looks really pretty until she opens her mouth and most of her teeth are missing.
I think it's shanghai noon, but I could be wrong!
Reply:I definatly would have to go with yellow/stained teeth. If people have crooked teeth whatever, but yellow/stains can be prevented by whitestripes for like 30 dollars. Crooked teeth are like 2,000.
Reply:yellow nasty teeth make me want to hurl - and bad breath usually come along in the bargain.

My teeth are a mess but I'm so scared of the dentist!!?
OK, I'm 25 and my teeth are a mess. I'll admit now that I haven't really looked after them all that well when I was younger and I didn't see a dentist in a long time until a few weeks ago when I had to go with a terrible toothache.
So I saw the dentist, he said the tooth was pretty bad and I'd need a root canal, he did something to it, put in a medicated filling or something and I was supposed to go to a different dentist last week to have it looked at and fixed properly, but I was really scared and it wasn't hurting so I missed the appointment..........
I've had bad experiences with dentists in the past, I had to have quite a lot of fillings in my baby teeth when I was younger and it put me off dentists totally.
Now my teeth are a mess, the dentist I saw a few weeks ago said I needed another 5 or 6 fillings and two rotten wisdom teeth extracted, but I'm absolutely terrified, but can't afford private fees. What can I do?
My teeth are a mess but I'm so scared of the dentist!!?
Ok...there are some dentists that may provide you with a light sedative for procedures if you are that anxious about it. So far as not affording that work to begin with, it may take some time to get it all done, but dental schools are a great place to go. The students are looked over by the professors and you will not leave withoput it being done correctly...just takes much longer.
Reply:There are new techniques in dental care that help numb the patient's tooth nerve so the treatment will be painless. Its important you have your teeth fixed even if you have to borrow funds for it. Funds can always be earned but loosing all your teeth evnetually is the biggest regret. Go for it!
Reply:please go get them fixed =the dentist gives you gas ,so you don't care about what is going on=also tell dentist you are afraid and he/she will explain each step to you and what it is going to feel and sound like
been there=done that
Reply:its a necessary evil.
to make it easier, the denty can knock you out pretty well then go through with the procedure.
but in the end, its for your own good (even if it is a little pricey). you DO NOT want to end up with something more serious that ends up with you having no teeth at 35.
and youll also appreciate the experience once its over (ie it wont be as bad as you thought). obviously go to a dentist who has a good rep. so as to avoid any more bad dentist scenarios.
to recap, youre just going to have to bite the bullet (no pun intended) for the well being and future of your teeth, which are extremely important to your body.

If a tooth is too badly rotten does it get pulled out?
It is all my fault I know. I have not taken enough care over the years, and is probably the one thing I regret the most in my life..... If my tooth is rotten will it get pulled out?
If a tooth is too badly rotten does it get pulled out?
I just got mine pulled, there was not much of it left. No prob.
Reply:Very likely yes. No point in leaving it there!
Reply:it probably will yeah ust make sure u get it done at the dentist
Reply:If it can be salvaged to put a crown on , do everything you can or your dentist is willing to try . save the root .. putting a bridge on later will cost 3X as much
Reply:Yes. It probably will. You have just made me realise that i need to look after my teeth more ( iam only twele) so you are the person who is going to save my teeth in the future because i am gonna look after my teeth better now.
Thnx :]
Reply:if having a rotton tooth is the worst thing you regret then your lucky mate!
Reply:Most likely yes.
Reply:yes, or if badly embeded most likely surgically removed by a dentist or oral surgeon.
Reply:yes because if you leave it there it can actually spread from your tooth to even your brain if it gets infected!
Reply:Depends on how bad the decay is. If it's not hurting that's a good sign. If there is enough tooth structure (after the decay is removed) a large filling may be able to be done, if not the tooth would need a crown and possibly a build up to save it.
If you opt to extract it, you will need to put a bridge in, which will end up costing more and drilling teeth next to the bad one. If they are bad as well the bridge is a cheaper way to go, but if not a single crown if the tooth can be saved is best. Or, if you have lots of money you can have the tooth extracted and an implant done. If you dont fill in the space after the tooth is extracted your teeth start shifting, causing gaps, and can lead to other problems. We have teeth for chewing and facial structure, losing them is never a good option.
If money is an issue look into having your work done at a dental school.
Brushing and flossing will prevent most all dental problems! It's a habit everyone should get into. Take care of your smile, it's the first thing people see.
Good luck!
Reply:if the tooth is decayed enough where it is not salvageable, they will pull it. but if it's a bad cavitiy, they may just give you a root canal. a root canal is done when the nerve endings in your tooth are dead.
so depending on how bad it is, they may try and save it. :)

Reply:oh yeh cause it will gat infected after a while

Reply:No, not necessarily, There are many treatment options now to save largely decayed teeth. Talk to your dentist about the options, and cost of each. But if you want to keep the tooth, then this will most likely still be possible and probably the besty option. good luck
Reply:hi i dont want to scary you but it will need to come out, i have done excally the same as you, just got back from the dentisit he is referring me to hospital to have it out and they may need to cut the gum!

Wisdom Teeth extraction..Please share your experiences?
I am a 34 year old baby! I have put off getting my wisdom teeth removed for about as long as I could. One of the wisdom teeth broke a couple of weeks ago and my oral surgeon said that there is a huge cavity in it that pretty much rendered the tooth...rotten! Eeeww. Okay, so much for the daily rigorous brushing routine I perform on those nasty useless teeth. Anyway, she said they've got to come out. My appointment isn't for 3 more weeks, but it's all I can think about. I'm so afraid. I honestly don't know how I'll put one foot in front of the other and walk into the hospital. I have a heart condition, so the only way they'd put me out is if I go to the hospital. I'm afraid I'll wake up during surgery! I'm afraid of all of the pain I'll have afterwards. I'm afraid I'll sneeze, causing the blood clot to dislodge resulting in "dry socket" and I'll have that pain to deal with as well. I'm also afraid I'll end up with nerve damage! Please share your wisdom teeth extraction stories with me.
Wisdom Teeth extraction..Please share your experiences?
These concerns should really be talked over with your doctor at consult. I work for an oral surgeon so I will share with you what I have learned.
Dry socket is a clotting issue. You are correct in stating that. For the most part patients do not develop this but some can. It is easily treated though with medicated packing. It is important to follow ALL of your post op instructions carefully. No straws, rinsing, brushing or forceful spitting on day one. Day 2, brushing is safely done but be careful and rinse with salt water morning, evening and after meals for a few days. Day 3 use the syringe to gently flush any debris that settles in the sockets.
Don't worry about waking up during the procedure. You will have an iv in place the entire time. If your surgeon sees too much activity coming from you he/she will give the proper dosage to help keep you sedated. The nice thing about iv sedation is the doctor can control how much to use during the procedure. When a patient uses an oral sedation the doctor is pretty much limited to how he/she can control the sedation.
There are signs that the doctor is trained to look for if more sedation is required. Usually arms start to lift or squirming in the chair. I have never seen a patient just pop up from the chair and say ouch. when they start making movement the surgeon will stop what he/she is doing and administer more iv sedation and it's night night time again until he/she is finished.
hoped this helped. and just so you know. removing wisdom teeth is a breeze. don't worry, be happy they'll be gone.
Reply:I AM 17 %26amp; JUST HAD MY ALL 4 WISDOM TEETH REMOVED, HAD IT DONE IN LOCAL PRIVATE HOSPITAL UNDER GENERAL ANAETHESTIC, I WAS FINE, THE PAIN %26amp; SWELLING WAS BAD FOR 2-3 DAYS THEN IT STARTED TO GET BETTER. YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT, THINK ONCE THEY ARE OUT THERE OUT FOR GOOD Report It
Reply:well i havent had wisdom teeth pulled but i had 4 other teeth pulled at one time 3 of which were right on top of each other. All they did for me was give me a shot that made my mouth numb and they pulled them. i couldnt feel anything. now as far as pain i just know that i took advil or sothing like that right after. but other than that i cant even remember it hurting. and i had no problems woth the clot either.
Reply:a sneeze will not dislodge a clot.. you will have to chomp down on a gause patch for a while.. just follow the dr. instruction,, take your pain pills and don't do anything stupid like eating hard food.. take it easy for a couple of days with soft stuff and you will be fine.. oh and.. remember.. ice cream.. is a good friend.. couple of days.. you will be bout done.. in a week you will never know it took place.. (french vanilla.. now that is comfort)
Reply:I had mine taken out when I was 15 or so...and, well it wasn't fun to be honest, although i don't remember much of it. They gave me laughing gas, then (if I remember correctly) they gave me an IV, and then i woke up with bloody gauze in my numb mouth. I spent the next couple weeks knocked out on pain med, hence why I dont remember much. I have had a few procedures done and that was my least favorite. I highly recomend the blue icepack they sell at walgreens and etc..that helped a lot, and I hope you can just sleep for a week or so...good luck, and don't worry too much, you probably won't remember much later on...tell your dentist about your worries!!!
Reply:Well, I had my wisdom teeth extracted when I was 19 and it wasn't bad at ALL. You have nothing to worry about. I was put under local anesthesia at an oral surgeons and I was eating mashed potatoes later that night. Felt no pain at all!!! I was scared of getting a dry socket as well. My clot fell off before it was suppose to, but I never had any problems. I was a little sore a few days later, but no big deal at all. I am in dental hygiene school and have observed MANY tooth extractions (not just wisdom teeth), and you have nothing to worry about. The worst thing that could happen is dry socket, but if you take proper care of the incision after surgery you will be fine. Don't worry about waking up during surgery either. Wisdom teeth are one of the most common surgeries that oral surgeons perform on a daily basis (probably 6+ a day). Don't worry you will be fine:)
Reply:I had my first wisdom tooth pulled the old fashioned way by a dentist when I was 34 which was like a nightmare as compared to the last three which were taken out my an oral surgeon. I was 37 at the time.
Under anesthesia, your oral surgeon will be able to pull the rotten teeth quickly and completely without you having to experience the effort it will take to remove them. The surgeon will pack your gums and administer pain killers before you wake up so you won't hardly feel a thing when you go home.
My advice to you is talk to the anesthesiologist about your fears. I had a situation during major surgery where I did wake up but not fully and it was quite disturbing. I let my anthologist know and he took special care to make sure that I did not wake up before I hit the recovery room.
Another thing you can do since you have a 3 week wait is to prepare to eat soft warm mushy foods for a few days after surgery and have these foods available before you have your surgery. Bananas, chicken noodle soup, apple sauce, spaghetti, oatmeal, rice, tea, etc. Make sure you have enough salt on hand to make glasses of warm salt water for you to rinse your mouth out with.
The most important thing is to follow all the instructions that your surgeon gives you so that you won't have any issues with infection or dry sockets.
Reply:I got my wisdom teeth takin out when i was 13 years old. I was just as scared but, it wasnt as bad as i thought it was. I am not going to lie to you and tell you that it didn't hurt after I got it done, because it did. But, I felt like an *** 2 weeks after when they stopped hurting. It might seem bad at first but, you get over it.
Reply:If U R that nevrous talk to your doctor %26amp; dentist about taking something b4 U even get to the office. I usually take a very mild sedative b4 I have any dential work done. U will need someone to drive U to %26amp; from the dentist. When my kids had theirs done at age 18, they had no memory of gettin home. They went into the office %26amp; woke up at home. One needed pain pills for 2 days the other only one day. Good luck.
Reply:I just had all of my teeth pulled about 2 weeks ago and from previous surgeries I have also shown that my heart doesn't agree with sedation, mostly coming out of it. It is scary.. I mean, I've practically lived in a hospital for majority of my life and had re-constructive jaw surgery 6 years ago so I completely understand the fear you have. Hospitals have that smell to them.. I even feel sick and get a headache at the thought of going to a hospital now. It's really not that bad though for a wisdom tooth.. I mean, I just had all mine out, under sedation.. but really isn't not that bad. I had an absessed tooth pulled while I was awake and the freezing didn't take.. and really.. it's wasn't too bad. Just think, as soon as it's out.. you won't be in pain anymore, if it's causing you pain. Just be honest with them, you're scared.. nothing wrong with that. A hospital is a scary place sometimes.
