  • Wisdom tooth erupting and hurting as heck. Is that normal?

    Dental - 16 hours ago

    Additional Details

    One of my lower wisdom teeth, which have started erupting a while ago is suddenly hurting a lot. The gum around that tooth is sore and swollen. I don't think it is impacted because I had a dental x-ray done a couple years ago and was told that all 4 of my wisdom teeth are growing straight so it isn't necessary to remove them. I also had 4 of my normal back teeth pulled out for braces when I was young so the wisdom teeth have got space to grow. I'm not sure what is causing the pain but I've been told that the pain may be normal during the eruption of wisdom teeth. Will the pain go away after a while? What other reasons apart from impacted teeth can cause such pain? I have my finals coming up in less than a week so I won't be able to go to the dentist and end up with sore cheeks unless it's something persistent and serious. Thanks! That really helped. At least I don't have to worry about getting my tooth removed for the time being. As for taking ibuprofen, is there a recommended dose for this infection in particular?

    Hey everyone! I've started to masturbate, though I've never actually reached climax. However, I heard that some women faint because they've climaxed! How often is this the case? Should I stop, and possibly avoid a very embarrassing encounter?

    I've been taking vitamin D-3 for 2 weeks now. I take 2000 UI a day. I find that I am hyper and I have trouble sleeping. Can this be caused by the vitamin intake or is it just a coincidence?
  • YIKES!! MY PERMANENT REATAINER FELL OUT!?

    Dental - 1 day ago

    Additional Details

    So...my lower permanent retainer fell out tonight when I was flossing! I've only had it for a year, but I noticed my teeth have deposits on them. They have started to calcify, and I brush twice a day and floss the lower retainer once a day, along with the rest of my teeth! When I go back to the orthodontist this week, should I just get a removable one, rather than get this one glued back in? I'm thinking I'd get the Hawley or Essix. Which one is better? Keep in mind I have a Hawley upper, no probs with it, except that I take it out for work since people complain about everything (you say coffee weird....take that thing out of your mouth, it's bugging me!). The Hawley isn't that bad, I just don't know whether or not I should get it on the bottom, cause then I will not be able to speak well AT ALL!! LOLz..

Ont. Health says Halloween not scary if trick-or-treaters follow H1N1 tips

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - The Ontario Ministry of Health says parents and children shouldn't be scared to trick-or-treat because of H1N1 this Halloween, but should use extra care when celebrating.

Ministry spokesman Kevin Finnerty says trick-or-treaters should take anti-flu precautions, such as wearing gloves along with costumes and using hand sanitizers in between houses.

He says it's smart to purchase store bought masks, and to wash them down before wearing them and never share masks or candy.

Finnerty adds that homeowners handing out candy shouldn't let kids fish around in the candy bowl.

He says it's a good idea to wipe down front door bells, knockers and handles periodically to prevent germs from spreading.

And if children feel sick, it's better they stay at home.
