Is it safe to have 3 wisdom teeth out all at once?

Friday, August 27th, 2010
Q.
I am due to have 3 wisdom teeth extracted, 1 of the teeths has fully grown & the other two need to be taken out with some of the bones removed. I would like to know wether its safe to have all three taken out at once or in stages. Also I have had a wisdom tooth extracted 10 months ago but the empty space hurts alot. The dental hospital in manchester have said that no roots have been left over. Would I need the nerves taken out?. I am slightly nervous I have opted for Full Anaesthetic.,

I had four teeth removed a week ago. I now have black marks on my gums and my jaw feels stiff. What could this be?

Q.
I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed a week ago today. I have no pain at all but my left side of cheeck at bottom still feels a bit stiff round the jaw. This tooth was severely decayed before extraction. Is this normal? Also after looking into my mouth with a torch ive noticed something dark or blackish around that area, its not on the extraction site itself but to the side of it near the gums cheeck side, what could this possibly be? Im worried about dry socket or a hole of some sort. I still have the dissovable stitches.,

Can to recommend a solution to correct problems I’m having with front teeth?

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010
Q.
Dear Dr Glaister, I used to suck my thumb as a child, and when my upper wisdom teeth came out, my front teeth got pushed forward. I had the wisdom teeth removed, and was given retainers, which I wore for almost 3 years. My problem is that my front two teeth are positioned a little lower than the rest, especially on the right side of my mouth, where my incisor sits above the rest of the teeth, as it began to grow over my milk tooth. So when I laugh, my teeth are not perfectly aligned in height. I also feel as though my teeth protrude just a fraction over my bottom lip when i smile. I am now 24. Could you please tell me whether there is a solution to this at all, and if it involves braces, a quicker way of correcting this? Thank You.,
A.
Yes braces may be the best cos… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I’m 20, I had braces for 8 years, and have had them off since I was 15. I have a permanent retainer on the top and bottom, but I have noticed my top teeth are no longer straight. I don’t know if it’s because my wisdom teeth are coming in (because i’m around the right age for that) or what’s going on? Should i go to my dentist to get a removable retainer to wear at night?,

Spots along my gum are really starting to hurt and even peel. What’s the cause and is it common?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
Q.

I noticed they are raw where they started peeling a little, and its really a pain to chew food now. My co-worker said she has had a similar issue. What could be the cause of this? Is this a common thing, or do I need to be concerned?,

I’m experiencing a lot of pain since the extraction of my wisdom tooth, is this normal?

Thursday, July 29th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I had my lower right wisdom tooth extracted in hospital 4 days ago under local. It was very traumatic, and now I am getting a constant throbbing pain all along my jaw line, right up to the socket of my jaw near my ear. I am taking normal paracetemol as well as Ibuprofen but the constant throbbing and aching is starting to take its toll. I’ve done exactly as asked, Corsodyl mouth washes, salt water washes, brushing teeeth after every meal (soup and yoghurt and mashed potato). Is it normal for there to be so much aching and throbbing? My other teeth next to the one which was removed are also feeling “on edge” and sensitive. There is also a foul taste in my mouth despite my regular teeth brushing and mouth washing so am worried I may have dry socket.,

It does sound like a dry socke… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.
Hi Mr. Safeer Butt! I have one wisdom tooth that just broke through the gum, and all the others are non-impacted so far.
