how do you make bob marley-like hair close at the egdes?



Answers:
Ok, Sherm has a very good answer, but to put it in more simple terms. You will need to give it some time to heal. If you have hot or cold sensitivity, there could be nerve involement, meaning that you may need a root canal. In the event of a root canal on a molar you will need to also have a crown placed on that tooth to preseve it. After having the nerve removed that tooth no longer has a blood supply and will become brittle and break off. A crown will protect you investment. At the very least you'll need to have your bite checked and possibly adjusted. With this, it still may take a few days to get better, it's kind of like a bruise. Take care of that A.S.A.P. Good luck!

That line on the bottom of your hand, if it's long does that mean you are going to live a long life?

No, but it happens when the cavity is close to the nerves. It gets better some with time.

can aids transfer by frenchkissing?

Yeah, they can be sensitive for quite a while. I've had dental work that made my teeth sensitive for several weeks - it just takes time for your system to adjust. If they are more than sensitive and you are in serious pain then you should call the dentist back. But you do have to give it some time.

Yes, it's normal. Fillings will hurt for a little while after having them done. Just give it a little time and the pain will subside.

can your paps find out?

What kind of pain is it? Sharp or dull throbbing? Does it hurt when you chew, drink cold/hot liquids, or just hurt all the time? A certain amount of post-op sensitivity is expected because nerves do flow through dentinal tubules and the drill will cause a certain amount of trauma during decay removal. However, some other problems such as the filling being too high or having air bubbles will also cause pain because they will direct forces on your tooth that might flex it or impinge on the periodontal ligaments. Your best bet is to contact your dentist and describe the type of pain you are having. It will give him a better idea of whether he will need you to come back to reassess the filling.

what is bad for your hair?

I am a dentist.

The answer to your question is, "it depends."

It depends on the amount of decay, as well as the material used to restore the tooth (i.e. a silver or tooth-colored filling). Another factor is the bite (i.e. occlusion). If the filling is too high, the tooth will be traumatized and the nerve will become inflamed, thus causing sensitivity. That is why you should contact your dentist and have the bite re-checked.especially if it feels high to you.

With deep cavities that were within two millimeters of the pulp, I tell patients that they may have sensitivity to cold and even hot foods and liquids. It is important to characterize the tooth's response to temperature stimuli. If the tooth is sensitive to cold, does the pain go away immediately after the cold has been withdrawn and the tooth has returned to oral temperature? Or does the pain linger on for a few minutes after? Does the tooth hurt on its own, without having been recently stimulated by hot, cold, or pressure? If it's the latter, then the nerve of the tooth may be suffering from "irreversible pulpitis", which means a root canal or extraction is in your near future. That is what most the typical textbook would tell you.

In reality, I do get some patients who have fillings that hurt on their own or have lingering pain with hot/cold stimulus but somehow improve over time.

It just goes to show that the human body doesn't adhere to textbooks!
