I'm learning a lot about dentistry, so that's a good thing. But I'm surprised no one can see (although Newbie figured it out, correctly - but then backed off) that Robert is a troll of the first order, and is just having some fun with you people. Methinks he's just trying to see the limits of your generosity and patience, but what do I know? By the way,...

tooth #3, I had a root canal last September. Leaving it as is for several months (bad idea, I know), I finally got fitted for a crown. The dentist found further decay (caries, I guess), and tried to clean it out. He said he "followed it", and drilled until faced with entering the root, which would mean losing the tooth. So he stopped there, getting...

I had an exam recently, the dentist spotted a tooth with a few "small" fractures, extending proximal to distal. He recommended a filling; that is, drill out the damaged area, then fill it, like a cavity. Is this a usual procedure for such a diagnosed tooth? -- Rich

As probably not everybody knows, posture during sleep results from involuntary muscular tonic activity aimed at granting survival reflexive activity as breating, swallowing, digestive, joint stabilization.... Sleeping position (prone, supine...) is the result, that is why, for example, persons with big paunch only sleep with stomach up, sholder instability...

What do you guys think of this? Do you think it holds any real promise? http://www.cbc.ca/canada/edmonton/story/2006/06/28/teeth-grow.html

I went to the dentist yesterday and he had me take a panaroma xray. He placed a lead protection vest covering my entire front of the body with short flaps over the shoulders. but today, i realized that the xray was coming from around the back of my head (ear to ear) and shooting into film that rotated in front of my face. (ie. xray was shooting from behind...

Looking for a new dentist. (I'm sorry I'm too far away from SB!) I see a couple advertising the use of something called a Diagnodent for detecting decay. Is this a true advance, or is it hyped up? Can this actually help detect decay underneath composit fillings?

About nine months ago I foolishly let a factory-style dentist replace amalgam fillings with resin in seven of my upper teeth. (I wasn't against amalgam - he just said the fillings needed to be replaced and used resin as a matter of course.) Since then I have had nothing but aches and pains in more and more of my upper teeth, even teeth that he didn't...

Are Silver fillings the same as Amalgam fillings? If not, what is the difference?

I will probably need my upper wisdom teeth extracted soon. I read in a couple of places that the oral surgeon is supposed to use a "burr" to remove the ligaments and the first milimeter or bone in the socket. Is that something that oral surgeons routinely do, or is it something I will need to hunt around for? Thanks.

Here's an interesting question: is it practical to re-replace resin fillings with amalgam? I never bought into the anti-amalgam craze and ever since I've had the resins put it I've had nothing but discomfort all over my mouth. (I didn't ask for the resin fillings: the dentist just did it without asking.)
