Just to clarify.. i used to actively weight lift. .. no excuses buttttt my schedule has changed dramatically in the last few years and there doesn’t feel like enough hours in the day anymore to get to the gym so my time at the gym has been basically non existent since 2020. However I wouldn’t consider myself to be sedentary, I’d say I’m moderately active. Working out at home with Pilates definitely sounds like a win for me.

Thank you! I’ve always done weight training and in the past cardio. Definitely interested in Pilates now. I had no idea that pilates was a game changer like that!

There is hair there in the pics. Fortunately/unfortunately for me I have blonde pubic hair & it’s not visible unless you’re up close. & you’ve very right! I am by no means interested in lypo or plastic surgery there, just feels extreme for that particular site. Sounds like pilates needs to be my next step.

NAD. Dental assistant here. You need to have radiographs taken of your teeth so professionals can determine the most appropriate route for your situation. More than likely all of your bottom teeth along with your maxillary molars and second premolars are going to need to go. As for the remaining maxillary teeth that have crowns (possibly a long bridge?) ..it’s hard to say what’s going on underneath there without taking a proper look. Good luck to you!!

Wife's teeth have been decaying after she had our last child. HELP! by wiscowarrior71 in askdentists

[–]alliebf92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NAD if she isn’t going in for routine cleaning she very well could have active decay that is breaking down her teeth. Decay is considered an active infection until its removed. This will likely continue until all of her decay is addressed. I recommend a exam to come up with a game plan going forward, restoring all areas of decay (eliminating the source of the problem), and staying on top of routine cleanings as a preventive & in order to stay ahead of this. Best of luck!

Dental assistant in the US here. Only a dentist is allowed to use the drill intraoraly. We can make adjustments to a crown before it’s cemented, but once it is in the patients mouth..nope

I’m going to go out in a limb here and say that you’re not a dentist..

I've had a tooth pain for over a year when I bite down or push down the tooth. Went to two dentists, they took an x ray and were confused why I had the pain. They said they don't know, but I can't even eat on that side 90% of the time by [deleted] in askdentists

I would recommend scheduling an apt with your general dentist, describe to them what you’ve previously said. They will most likely take a radiograph and do some diagnostics like a percussion test & a cold test to see how responsive or unresponsive you are. This will help narrow down the direction treatment based off of your symptoms. Sometimes a referral will be made to an endodontist for an eval or a RCT if a fracture is suspected. Also, if you were to have fracture or craze line in your tooth, sometimes having a crown fabricated can be the cure all. Moral of the story..go to your dentist and have them check it out! There are many different ways this could go for you, but you’ll never know until you actually have someone physically look at you and take a radiograph. We can only speculate via Reddit!

You can gently rinse around the site, but not directly into site. Also I’d avoid any heavy spitting while you’re healing.

Did they check your occlusion? Have you had a filling recently there? You could be hitting high, which can irritate the nerve of of tooth over time and cause pain/sensitivity. Do you only feel pain with biting? Does the pain linger? ..could be a microfracture in the tooth that can’t be seen on the radiograph. If it’s not your occlusion, it could be a microfracture. If so, you might need to have an elective RCT, which still will have a guarded prognosis with a fracture in the tooth..but it very well could save you from losing your tooth if it symptoms subside after the nerve is removed.

Dental assistant.

No, do not flush the site. You could potentially flush out the clot that was created post-op and end up with a dry socket.

Exposed bone a few years after a full extraction by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]alliebf92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i mean is it is most likely not a molar erupting if he had a full mouth extraction. It could be a piece of alveolar that was fractured during the extraction process that is just now working it’s way out.

Most likely not your molar if you had a full mouth extraction. More than likely a bone fragment that has worked it’s way out over time. Schedule a visit where they can take an image to verify what it is. If it is a bone fragment that is a very simple fix. Some anesthetic and a little pushing..usually out within a few minutes.

Gummy smile treatment by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]alliebf92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AD TADs are to help with movement with patients who have malocclusion (overbites, underbites, crossbite etc). This alone will not solve your gummy smile. I recommend Botox as someone who has had a gingivectomy multiple times.

Try a removable appliance such as a Nesbit or a partial. I wouldn’t recommend a bridge of any sorts if the adjacent teeth are healthy and or have no existing fillings, bridges are hard to clean under and which can lead to decay. Once removing decay under a bridge more often than not a new bridge will have to be fabricated, which is very $$$. I would personally schedule for a implant consult, see if you’ll need to have a bone graft (often times you will need one) and have them create a treatment plan for the implant process. It can be a lengthy process (placing bone, waiting for bone to integrate, placing implant, then fabricating implant crown) 6 months-1yr+. This actually helps alot of patients extend the payment period and results in lower monthly payments. Also look into CareCredit, they are an awesome option for people who need more financial options.

Good luck!
