What is an alveoplasty?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
i would like to know what an alveoplasty is exactly, and what i can expect, pain wise, after it’s over. i had an extraction of tooth #18 done 3/18/10, and the site had to be gone into 3 more times due to continual problems i was having. my jaw bone is sticking out of the gum a bit, and i was referred to an oral surgeon. he informed me of what needs to be done, he will file the bone down and check the socket to make sure nothing else is going on, and as a result, this will stir things up again and delay the healing process. what can happen if this isn’t taken care of?,

it might carry on being sore b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Am I experiencing such intense pain because of impacted wisdom teeth?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Good morning Dr. Moore, Years ago, I went to see an orthodontist who had told me there wouldn’t be space for my wisdom teeth to grow in and that I would need them removed. This has never happened and they have caused me considerable pain at random intervals since they came some-what in. Recently, I have been experiences a shooting, intense pain stemming from a spot in my skull behind my right ear. This pain is very intense and the right side of my neck bunches every time it happens– which since yesterday morning, has been every minute or so. Could the cause of this pain be my impacted wisdom teeth? I read on this site they can cause cysts or tumours.. Thank you,
,
A.
I guess it is probably coming … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is it best to leave having a treatment if I am currently not feeling any pain?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
I had root canal treatment over 10 years ago and discovered quite sometime later, when I had an abcess, that I had a broken file in my tooth canal. I was advised to have an apecectomy but decided not to have this done whilst I was experiencing no pain. I recently had a slight tingling sensation and was worried that this was going to get worse so went to my dentist, he took an x ray and said I had a cyst at the end of the broken file and has now suggested that I see a specialist and have it removed but after reading lots of information about this procedure and that it is not always successful I am worried, if I am not experiencing any further pain or discomfort am I better off not having this treatment carried out. I am due to go away to Australia within the next couple of months and would like your advice as to whether I need this done and if so would it do any harm to leave it until after my trip. I am at present awaiting an appointment for a referral from my present dentist. many thanks,,
