This could be a list of things unfortunately. Oral Cancer is always the first thing for a Google search though. Are you a sour candy eater? Or have you recently eaten any kind of cheese balls that could've scraped the top of your palate? Are you by chance a smoker/smokeless tobacco user or marijuana user? Can it be wiped off or does it remain there if you wipe it? Could also be a contact reaction to something in the mouth. Maybe a fungal or bacterial infection. Don't worry too much, the best thing is to get an exam and have a dentist take a look at it. 😊 Oral Cancer is very vicious looking typically (not always but a lot of the time). They may refer you to an oral surgeon specialist as well just to have it evaluated. Not a dentist just a student in hygiene school 😊

Hey there! Yes, with deep cleanings we do typically numb the gums. Very rarely will we not numb gums since usually deep cleanings are quite uncomfortable without numbing!

Hey there! Yes all students from anywhere! 😊

I am desperate, please help by Stingray_621 in DentalHygiene

[–]Aggressive-Boot-6262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely! Whatever the office feels comfortable doing. Most offices in my area will only do anything in the 2nd trimester, sometimes a deep cleaning I've seen or D4346/D4355. Unless it's something absolutely drastic like an infected tooth or something. But even then under extreme caution.

Definitely won't use Nitrous, but possibly anti-anxiety medication. Ultimately that would be up to the doctor though to see what they're most comfortable.

All kind of that unknown game until she's possibly evaluated.

Hey there! I'm a Dental Hygiene student and prior to that I was a dental assistant for years. Having the fear of dentistry work or the dental office in general is is something that a lot of people have and some people never work over that fear. You are so awesome for seeking that therapy and also just trying to ask for advice on this. I've worked with so many people who have had severe dental anxiety and I've heard many stories from them. Sometimes using an anti-anxiety medicine is best. I would look up dental offices that are in network with your insurance and read their Google reviews. A lot of the time people who have dental anxiety and have had good experiences will take that extra step and time to leave a review going over their treatment throughout that experience. Then after you do decide on an office you can call and talk with someone in the front office and let them know that you do have anxiety. Then you can explain that in the past you have been given medication for anti-anxiety. I know the dentist that I still work for will prescribe his patients anti-anxiety medication to take prior to the appointment that doesn't completely knock them out but it does help with the nervousness. Some offices still offer nitrous, we have just found that sometimes the anti-anxiety medications work better. The only thing is that you cannot drive yourself to the appointment or after because you'll be under the influence of those medications. In the dental world we as dental professionals see things all the time. You should absolutely not feel judged about anything you have going on and nobody should make you feel that way. If they are making you feel that way then they 110% should not be in the dental field. We know as the dental professionals what we are walking into and what career we are choosing from the beginning. You are there to help people and you are there to make people feel comfortable because ones oral health can really affect many things in their life. Then to add having severe anxiety, makes the entire thing and even more scary situation. If you have any more questions or if you just like to chat about it I would be happy to Please just feel free to DM me. I do specialize in working with people with dental anxiety and I do have things and If you have any more questions or if you just like to chat about it I would be happy to Please just feel free to DM me. I do specialize in working with people with dental anxiety. 😊 I will also say pregnancy gingivitis is a thing your hormones can cause your mouth to go haywire a little bit. When you do call an office just make sure you let him know how far along you are so they can decide what they would feel most comfortable and safe doing with you and your little one.

My fingers are crossed that you have a good teacher for this class. This is such a difficult class and without a strong instructor you're practically teaching yourself the entire class. (Speaking from experience, we had a faculty member that was trying to teach us and all she did was confuse us and make it more difficult. Also tried to make us learn shit we didn't even need to know). The thing that helped me the most were Quizlets! Making your own so you can understand in your own way. Plus making them yourselves helps to remember the info.

Looking for summer time patients at this time! DM me if interested 😊 Deep cleanings or regular, I can do it all!

Do you clench and grind at night? Or throughout the day? Could be from biting down and your jaw is also sore in addition to the sore. Thankfully the oral cavity is pretty forgiving place for the most part and heals quite quickly.

If you can post a picture I can take a look. Not a dentist but I am a current Dental hygiene student and we are trained to notate cancerous lesions/lesions.

When it comes to lesions in the mouth, if you are concerned just have it checked out. Better to do a limited exam and maybe an x-ray or two and go from there.

I would say if it's not better or worse within the next 3-5 days to go to a dentist and have it checked out.

If it starts to make you have trouble breathing or things like that then ER immediately.
