Dental questions & answers
- -
I have been unemployed for over two years. No health insurance, no dental, always watching every penny. Have to go back to school at a late age. I've been dealing with this for over two years. I just can't seem to cope anymore. I get frustrated easily. I'm demoralized and depressed. I have been rejected so many times for jobs. I just am so tired of the money problems. I can't even afford to get a haircut anymore. I am going back to school, but it will take another 2 years to get a degree. How to people cope with situations like this?

After about 5-8 years of having a private practice, Is this possible? I would be around 32-36 years old.
Home:
-Luxury condo in a nice development, around $2500-$3000 a month
Cars:
-Lamborghini, will have a normal cheap car up until this point, cheap car should last me through dental school and first years of private practice. The lamborghini will be an older model and used.
-Escalade or Range Rover, this will be the family car as the lamborghini cant be
Attractions:
- I would like to go on a one week vacation to the beach a year, and go to some nba games, possibly courtside once. Otherwise normal stuff life everyone.
And then just add on stuff like food costs, taxes, wifes salary, entertainment, paying back loans from dental school, kid costs.... and so on.
Could i live this life as an orthodontist? I just need a small and simple condo and just have my dream car. Own my own practice in the town i live in and how would i be financially?

I got an onlay on #18 done about a month ago, and it was quite sensitive. I had a nerve that grew funny, the doctor says, and I could not get the onlay till I was numbed with what he called the "last resort"... I was stuck I don't know how many times, something like 15 I would say.
Anyway... they had to do this when drilling and also when taking the temp off and putting the porcelain piece on. Everything seemed relatively fine, there was some bite sensitivity for several weeks, really nothing major, I figured it was a success.
But just recently, as the bite sensitivity began to go away, i started noticing when I drink anything very cold, My tooth with ache slightly then pop very slightly. No sound, I can just feel it. It's almost like the onlay is separating is what it feels like. But I look at the tooth and it looks perfectly fine, and the onlay has no seam between itself and the tooth.
It does this pretty much every time I drink anything cold. And I just wonder if it really is separating. I'm making an appointment to get it checked, but it's not till next week. Just wondering if anyone had an answer right now, and maybe it could help another person out there with the same problem.
Thanks
I had some swelling on my first visit after being numbed for drilling, but I did not have gum swelling after the second visit just a little sensitivity

Someone I know has not very good credit. She has had good credit for the past two years. Having not missed any payments on her credit cards and her car. Where is the best place to go? Care credit is out. She needs a root canal badly and her insurance doesn't cover enough. Is there anyplace else that she should try?

MY first day yesterday, i turn up (Dental Laboratory) is a complete shambles and i have an old codger telling me what to do. First i need to clean the sink =[
I;m doing this for 5 mins and water starts leaking so i have to mop it all up and try again. This happened 4 times!! So the guy phoned the plumber to come and fix it but before he made get the filters out of the sink and clean them in the other sink. (They stank like crap if im honest) and to top it all off the other sink flooded as well.
4 hours into my day and all i did mainly was clean and mop.
Next he told me that the gutters were blocked and i needed to go with a stick and unblock them =[
I cleaned them all out and was filthy by the time i finished,( i still hadn't done any work in the lab yet) and for the last part of the day he had me sending packages all round town by foot!!
I am extremely annoyed at this and i dont want to be doing this for 2 weeks.
Can i take some sort of action against the guy for taking advantage over me?

I'm currently taking the prerequisites, I'm very nervous about work experience, seattle central doesn't require it but I still think I should do it. Could I get accepted into Dental Hygiene School with a 3.7 GPA or a 3.6? Dental Hygienists out there, what GPA did you have when you applied? Did you apply to many schools? How much work experience did you get? I'm on a 5 year-time line, is it OK if I have a B in Chem121? Tell me about your experience, for now, all I need is to get in!.

Hello,
I want to become a dentist in the future, but since it is so competitive, my alternative choice is to become a chemical engineer. Is it possible to major in the life sciences (for dentistry) while at the same time, minoring in chemical engineering in case I am not admitted into dental school? If so, what university courses should I take?

I originally prepared my baby's formula with the same purified bottle water that I drink. My pediatrician soon recommended that I use baby water with added fluoride. Of course I switched. I noticed last night that Gerber baby water does not contain fluoride. When I looked at their website to find out why, I read that "The American Dental Association recommends mixing formula with water that’s fluoride free or contains low levels of fluoride to reduce the risk of enamel fluorosis, a discoloration of the teeth."
How low are the levels of fluoride in baby water containing it? Should I switch back?
I never worried that it would kill her, just discolor her teeth...

Please help! All the dentist/doctors offices are closed until Monday in observation of July 4 and I don't want to worry all weekend. Here is the problem; my gum tissue has gotten a lot worse in the last 6-8 months (swollen/bleeding) even though my dental care is better than ever. The hygenist recommended root planing and scaling, which I went ahead and started today. The dental hygenist was surprised that I did not have a causative agent (meaning that I did not have tartar but all the same my gums were in bad shape and bleeding.) She seemed confused and she kept saying "I have to ask the dentist. I have to ask the dentist." (The dentists were all gone because it was a 5 o'clock appt.) I had lymphoma 4 years ago and I have some autoimmune problems including Sjogren's Syndrome (very mild.) Anyway, the hygenist really scared me. She said that at best I am not getting enough Vitamin C, which is probably very true. I don't drink juice because of the sugar and I almost always go with vegetables over fruit. I am hoping this is the case because that would be an easy fix. I have no other symptoms of scurvy (no skin problems or bruising) except for fatigue and I think that is from stress and the cancer--which will never go away completely. My nails are a little thin but my hair is in great shape and I do not think I am anemic. (Last time when I got sick, it was breaking and tangling and I was pale and jaundiced.) Now that is not the case at all. Plus, everyone is telling me how nice I look. One more thing, I was dropped-kicked into menopause because of my treatment and am taking synthetic estrogen.
I thought scurvy was very uncommon. Could it be something else. Can you offer any insight?

I am a Pre-dent Biomedical Engineering Student looking for volunteer opportunities abroad. I am specifically interested in summer long programs with an educational or dental component (such as teaching or working with dentists in impoverished communities). What organizations should I look into?

I need cavities filled, deep cleaning and some teeth to be straightened (my right bicuspid is not aligned with the rest of my teeth). What order do I get these procedures done? And what kind of specialists do I need to see?
