kingpopoy Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 range would be from 8,000 to 15,000 depends on the position of the third molar.... if patient would want to have it done in the hospital consider the cost of hospitalization and pf of anesthesiologist...we need to see the xrays before we could give you the exact cost....till next time..... amen to that amigo, let me also add that rates may vary depending on the reputation of your surgeon and the location of the hospital or the dental office that your oral surgeon is located.

WayKurat Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 mga sirs, what usually causes bad breath? Quote Link to comment
otitismedia Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 mga sirs, what usually causes bad breath? there are many sources of bad breath. dental caries or infection of the oral cavity, infection or diseases of the nasopharyngeal area like sinusitis and tonsillitis and pharyngitis and also from the gastroesophageal area. have your teeth checked by your dentist and if you still have bad breath then consult your ENT-HNS and your Gastro. Also check your food intake, too much spices,coffee,smoking,etc can lead to halitosis or bad breath. Quote Link to comment

silverapollo Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 good day mga sirs and mam, i just want to ask because last tuesday i had my "pasta" on 2 lower molars sa may left side kase sumasakit cya, after ng pasta wala naman saket pero may feeling na parang merong malabot na substance sa isang molar, hinde ko pinansin kase baka naninibago lang ako (according to the dentist 4 surfaces kase un ginawa nya). up till not masaket un particular na tooth lalo na pag kinakagat ng gigil. andun din un feeling na meron malamot na substance. help naman po or any advice? thanks and more power first may periapical xray ba na kinuha?. from the xray kasi you will know if the cavity has reached the nerve.... if malayo nman then the probable cause would be...1 may contact sa upper teeth mo... 2. type of material used.... if malapit na sa nerve as seen from the radiograph then baka your teeth might need root canal treatment... right now i suggest u go back to your dentist and tell him about the situation... so he will know what to do....

virtuoso2022 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have one of my front teeth on porcelain jacket. But i experience occasional feels (mild pain) when i drink cold water. In my understanding about the root canal thing is that I will not feel anything anymore since the roots are removed already, right? I had it xrayed and the dentist told me there is no problem with the root canal procedure. Do i need to have another xray for confirmation? It was done about 10 years ago, first as plastic jacket , and after 3 years i replaced it with porcelain. Now, I observed there was a discoloration on my gums and its bad like as if i have a smoker's dark gum (only on the jacket part). I am also not confident with my jacket coz my floss get smelly on that part. Is it a leak, did my jacket loosen up, or my base teeth deteriorated? Do i need to replace my jacket? I heard about implants (sam as Regine Velasquez's and Alan K's) and if this will clear off my problems, i am willing to save for it. Is it costy? How was the procedure done? Advance thanks to the helpful specialists 1 Quote Link to comment

kingpopoy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 wow! active na ulet ung dental thread ah! buti naman at marami naman palang dentist na mtc members din.. keep up the good work amigos! i hope i could help also! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
kingpopoy Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 just like to ask how much is the normal tooth extraction jan sa atin sa pinas!?!? namamhalan kce ako dito e.... ano po ba ang temporary gamot sa sakit ng ipin.... dba hindi naman binubunutan kapag masakit....tnx... AFAIK prices ranges from 300-1k per tooth, depending on the difficulty, location, and reputation of the dentist. well root canal theraphy is the more conservative approach to preserve the tooth, however there are certain cases wherein it cannot be done. for pain i would suggest you take mild pain relievers e.g. mefenamic acid (ponstan 500mg) to moderate ones e.g tramadol (any brand). seek professional help if pain cannot be managed anymore. happy holidays! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
