what do you mean by covered?? partially b or totally covered...kasi kung covered talaga sya totally di namn masisira un.....and ilang taon ka na po b??? kasi if you over 21 tapos di pa lumalabas ung 3rd molar mo...i think may prob na yan....possible na impacted yan, and it needs to be extracted.....hope i helped you in your prob.....

 

sa mga dentist po dito pakitama na lang po ung statement ko kung mali po.....i'm trying to help lang po here....btw, i'm a dentistry student po.....

 

 

Dr Omega,

Lumabas na ang wisdom tooth kaya lang nabulok na ang crown and the root na lang ang natira. Hindi naman masakit. Im over 21 na and in the line of 30. Kung bubunotin ay kilangan na operation to the gum to get the root kasi wala na makapitan ang puller. Do student perform this operation as a on the job training?

 

For your wisdom tooth problem. wisdom tooth need to be removed for the following reasons:

1. against possible infection (wherein yung gum na naka cover up possible mainfect)

2. to avoid crowding ng ngipin (as your wisdom tooth erupts tumutulak cya sa mga katabing ngipin possible mapektohan nya yung katabi na ngipin.)

3. it may damage the nearby or adjacent tooth.

4. worst case scenario is cyst formation.

the process in removel of your wisdom tooth is called odontectomy wherein it is a minor form of oral sugery. this is usually done by a dentist or in such cases an oral surgeon if the case is difficult. in some instances (simple or ideal cases) dental interns /students may perform such procedure as clinical requirement or ojt basta under supervision of a licensed dental practioner or his/her clinical instructor inside the university's dental clinic/infirmary. with regard to the bleeding baka may gingivitis ka or gum problem which also needs an appropriate dental remedy such as oral prohylaxis. Hope nakatulong me sa prob mo. :mtc: :mtc: :mtc: :mtc: :mtc: :mtc: :mtc: :mtc: :mtc:

Doctor,

My risk is the infection only because the crown can no longer damage adjacent tooth due to decay of the wisdom tooth already. What is cyst formation? What is the remedy for oral prohylaxis?

[JustSmile=)]

my teeth looks awful. everything is messed up. im missing 5 and 1 is decaying. im planning to have it remove but it is my wisdom tooth. im afraid that if i had it removed i wont be able to get braces. have any suggestions! tnx!

meaning if you don't want to keep your teeth don't floss them...

 

another way of telling you na if you don't floss your teeth you will lose them

which 5 teeth are you missing? the best thing is to go to your general dentist and find out what treatment plan would benefit you more.

Are you trying to replace those 5 missing teeth by getting braces in hopes that the braces will fill in the gaps?

I highly suggest going to a dentist so he can evaluate your case and tell you what treatment plan would be best for what you are trying to accomplish and what he thinks is necessary to restore your dental health. It will be hard to give any suggestions without having examined you...it's one of those things na kailangang i-evaluate nang dentist with xrays and complete exam. The dentist will evaluate if you are a candidate for braces to replace those missing teeth or maybe replacing them with prosthetics.

Greetings Esteemed Docs!

 

I'm searching for a dentist to help out a charity case of mine, she is not of great means, (daughter of my staff), she needs an impression made upper anterior 4 units (plus opposing for articulation) to make a 4 unit fixed bridge (which I will provide from a lab i am attached to).

 

can you recommend please? preferably near fairview area, but anywhere is fine.

 

your advise is greatly appreciated. again, she is of very modest means so hopefully budget friendly, total impression and fitting nalang..

It sounds like you've had a sizeable filling on that tooth and the tooth structure has been compromised. In most cases, you have 3 treatment options. IF there's still tooth structure to hold the filling then you can do the filling pero baka temporary lang yun and you'll have the same problem again. The second option and the ideal way to go is to crown the tooth...which sounds like your case. Or you also have the option of extracting the tooth...but I wouldn't recommend it. Although pulling teeth may seem like an easy and least expensive solution, dental health wise hindi recommended dahil you would still have to replace those teeth you extract- which is more costly in the long run. One more thing, take care of that molar as soon as you can while you can still save it.

 

Hope this helps...

Tnx!!

I'm sorry I can't help you with the cost kasi sa states ako base at iba ang presyo dito compare diyan.

 

To make you feel good, dito a crown would range from $800 to $1000 depending on the type of crown you

want...porcelain or gold....yan I'm sure you'll appreciate the prices there in PI. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

It shouldn't hurt unless you have a low pain tolerance.

hi mtc dentists!

 

i need to get a wisdom tooth removed. its "impacted", is that bad?

whenever the dentists say that its always accompanied by a "tsk, tsk" sound

thanks in advance docs :mtc:

[simple_denise]

I dont like dentures sa molar ko, meron pa bang ibang way aside sa dentures?
