Q.
Hi, I have had my impacted wisdom tooth removed 4 days ago, I’m not suffering with any pain and there is no bleeding of the socket, however i do have a nasty taste in my mouth which is unpleasant, It feels like it’s weeping from the wound, is this normal or is it a sign of the wound been infected. If so what course of action do I need to take. ,

Can I get NHS treatment due to congenital defect, and if so how?

Friday, August 13th, 2010
Q.
I have had very gappy teeth all of my life, I am currently 25. Growing up, when I saw my local dentist, he would always say that I would have to wait for my wisdom teeth to come through, so I have had nothing done. Following a recent x-ray there are definately none coming through. About five of my teeth never grew at all, and I have several baby teeth (which have started to drop out) and some teeth which have grown in the wrong place. All in all it looks a mess, with a 7mm gap between my front teeth. I have recently seen a private dentist who within about 5 seconds of me sitting down said I probably have ectodermal dysplasia. After the consultation she advised it would be £15 to £20k to put right. The teeth are now becoming a problem, mainly because I mumble when I talk so that I dont show my teeth and never smile. I am sure it is impacting my career and want to do something about it, however I can no way afford those costs. My initial trawl of the web indicates I may be eligible on the NHS to receive treatment due to ‘congenital defects’. In your experience do I have a strong case and if so what is the next step? Thanks in advance.,

Is the small bump on the back of my mouth my wisdom tooth coming through?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
Q.
I am a 16 year old girl. Back in Feb ’08, I’d got a really painful toothache in the last tooth of the right side of my lower jaw. So the following month, a permanent black filling helped me to rid of the pain. Unfortunately in a few weeks’ time, a small bump occurred right at the side of the filled in tooth, outside the mouth. I know that this has something to do with that filling, and is not an ordinary pustule. An X-ray was taken by my dentist who said that the small bump is a result of the early development of the wisdom tooth. Then in May ’09 that small bump burst. It gave out a lot of pus and some blood. This continued for a few months. Now at that site the skin folds. What’s going on? Am I suffering from something serious? Should it be corrected by oral and plastic surgery? Please help. I am really worried.,
