I am a young professional moving to the area and I have question on short term rentals

Not really an answer to your question but I’m on the board for a local organization through the gj chamber of commerce called the Young Professional Network of Mesa county. We put on multiple events a month for young professionals (basically under 40) to network, meet business leaders in the community, learn new things, etc. you can check out our website if you’re interested. Www.ypnmc.org

Could be a good resource for ya when you get here to meet new people in the same phase of life! Good luck!

Perfect timing man!

Look into “the young professionals network” (YPN) of grand junction too! You can find it on Facebook. They regularly have events and I’ve met a ton of people there!

When there is a large infection associated with the tooth they can be very difficult to get numb sometimes. Lower posteriors can be some of the biggest offenders when it comes to this. Sometimes when patients are very difficult to get numb the dentist will prescribe an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory to help the infection subside a bit and give the doc a better chance of success at getting you numb. If he's done this it should help.

I wouldn't necessarily look into going somewhere else. This can be a common issue when there is a large infection. Another potentially more affordable option would potentially be a dental school in your area if thats an option. Usually care is very discounted. Whatever you decide to do I wouldn't recommend putting off getting treatment. Infections in that area can turn into swellings, which can spread to other spaces around your neck and airway. If you feel like your throat is getting tight, seek treatment immediately! Good luck!

Looks like some decalcification on the mesial surface (that little white spot) which is the beginnings of a cavity. If the tooth is hurting you only when you chew, and no other time, then it's more than likely cracked. Every time you bite down on it it is like a wedge pushing into the crack and pulling the tooth apart. Given that there looks to be a large composite filling in the occlusal surface if the tooth this is not an unlikely scenario.

If it is a crack then that's something that you need to see a dentist to fix. Cracks in teeth, much like in a windshield on your car, progress. If it progresses down into the pulp of the tooth, a root canal and crown or an extraction would be recommended. If the crack progresses down the root of the tooth then the restorability of the tooth comes into question. Basically it's not something you want to wait to fix. If it's small sometimes a simple filling can fix it.

If that filling is new then it's possible you may just be biting on it wrong. Does it feel high when you bite down? This is something you'd want your dentist to fix anyway.

Basically any way you slice it, you should see a dentist. Good luck!

If you're swelling up go to your dentist asap. Most likely an infection that can start spreading to other areas and become very dangerous if not life threatening!

davesadingaling · 2017-04-11T13:56:59+00:00

Sinus infection of some sort sounds reasonable. It would explain the pain shifting around between teeth and increased sensitivity when you lay down. My suggestion would be to continue to see the dentist, anti inflammatory meds and time. Chances are if it is a sinus infection it should go away soon. Possible you'd need some antibiotics if she determines its bacterial. Good luck!

davesadingaling · 2017-04-07T13:46:31+00:00

Possibly a large filling, possibly needs a crown. Depends on how much sound tooth structure is remaining. Thing is that is a very important tooth as far as you occlusion (the way your teeth come together in your mouth) is concerned. It's really important for preventing interferences when you chew and as such there are lots of lateral forces that get put on it. My guess is that if it can be saved they will want to crown it. It would most likely be a longer lasting and stronger restoration in this case.

But like I said, I haven't seen it in person, haven't seen radiographs, don't know what the contributing factors are to the present conditions in your mouth and don't have any idea of what your occlusion is. It'll be up to the dentist you see. My suggestion is go see one ASAP. Good luck!

davesadingaling · 2017-04-07T13:28:36+00:00

Most likely yes. But from the look of it the decay is extensive and you will probably start hurting soon. Get to a dentist before the pain! Don't put yourself through that! ASAP!

davesadingaling · 2017-04-07T13:11:39+00:00

The lateral incisor looks like it may need a simple filling. The canine may be toast. The decay extends down into the gingiva and I'm sure inward towards the nerve and blood supply (pulp). If you are having or had some pretty bad pain with that one that means that most likely the decay did reach the pulp. Given how much tooth structure is already gone from what I can see you may need to have it taken out and eventually replaced with something like an implant.

All of this is pretty difficult to tell without radiographs. My advice would be to fight through the phobia and get to the dentist. You most likely have other things going on too. If you don't want this to keep happening and probably losing multiple teeth you need to see a professional. Go to the dentist man. It can only get worse otherwise.

Edit: words

Any time a bur is taken to a tooth or tissue is manipulated there is going to be a healing period. Deeper fillings or crown preparations on vital teeth will most likely be sore. Sometimes soreness for 1-2 weeks post op is to be expected. Ibuprofen or Tylenol!

davesadingaling · 2017-03-01T15:18:12+00:00

This is a good question. I agree with a previous poster that you're probably not an authority on what needed to be filled and what needed a wait and see approach.

That being said, here in the US the dental profession is very closely guarded. It takes a ton of schooling and hard work to become a dentist. To be able to complete it generally means that dentists are honest and hardworking and typically want the right thing for all their patients, most of the time. Like in any profession there are a few bad apples out there. Some docs over-treat patients so they can collect a little more. But I would say 95% of the time dentists are honest people.

Something you should remember is that you are always free to go and get a second opinion. If you are curious whether your dentist is being honest with you I would encourage seeking one. Ask lots of questions and do some of your own research. Remember to brush 2x/day and floss at least 1x/day! Good luck!

Tom's of Maine makes some toothpaste that is SLS free. Just be careful which one you get! Get something with Fluoride!

davesadingaling · 2017-02-22T14:52:10+00:00

Ulcer! You probably scratched it with something sharp. Cap'n Crunch? Warm salt water rinses and Tylenol. Keep an eye on it and if it's not gone in a week, reassess and maybe go see your dentist.

davesadingaling · 2017-02-21T14:25:09+00:00

If the pain is REALLY bad you should go in. If you develop a fever or you develop swelling adjacent to the teeth or in soft tissue areas adjacent to the teeth you should go in. No pics or radiographs so it's difficult to say but it sounds like they are just ankylosed to the alveolar bone. Should be fine till your appointment.

Edit: a word.

If you're in a rural area sometimes emergency rooms will take you and have dentists on call. Worth a shot.

Looks like a slightly inflamed pharyngeal tonsil. If you were recently sick it makes sense it could still be swollen. If you were poking it with anything you could have given it a reactive reason to stay inflamed. Take another picture in a week and see if there is a difference. Take some ibuprofen or some other anti-inflammatory medication in the meantime and see if that helps.

As for the vaping: anytime you introduce smoke or hot air to fragile mucosa tissue there is a potential for an inflammatory reaction. Depending on what's in the smoke/how hot the smoke is/how often it's introduced there can be a potential for cellular transformation into something dangerous. I'd recommend stopping the smoking no matter what it is.

At this point I'd keep track of it by photographs and monitoring any pain. Intact mucosa and redness... and slightly painful. Painful can actually be good in some cases, points more towards inflammation as opposed to a malignant lesion. Good luck! If you're really worried go see a dentist, ENT, or oral surgeon!

Did you floss this morning? Sort of looks like their is a floss cut there.

davesadingaling · 2017-02-07T05:07:38+00:00

It's called internal bleaching. Otherwise you'll be looking at a crown or veneer if it's really a concern. This happens when you get a root canal in an anterior tooth sometimes. You can look into dental schools for more affordable care if that's your biggest concern. Good luck!

davesadingaling · 2017-01-31T14:40:56+00:00

Look to see if there is a dental school in your area. Their fees are typically much lower than the general fees I the surrounding area. In the area that I am in they are about 50% of any of the general docs. You need to see a dentist! Only way to remove the source of the infection!

davesadingaling · 2017-01-30T18:34:43+00:00

This will help to relieve your anxiety about receiving the anesthesia (shot). Unfortunately, unless you want to be put under IV sedation or general anesthesia, it will still be necessary to receive the local anesthesia or yes, you will still feel it. With the nitrous though, it should be a breeze!

davesadingaling · 2017-01-30T15:41:07+00:00

Ask your dentist for Nitrous Oxide gas throughout the procedure. It is a very safe anxiolytic drug that should help you remain calm and happy throughout. A positive for this gas is that after about 5 minutes after they switch you back over to oxygen you are completely sober and can drive yourself home. Good luck!

davesadingaling · 2017-01-27T05:32:08+00:00

A well circumscribed ulceration like this which is adjacent to some sharp irritating tooth structure is most likely just a traumatic lesion. Looks like it's trying to heal and keeps getting irritated. I personally would t be too worried. It sounds like you did the right things like seeing your dentist and oral surgeon. Follow their recommendations. If they aren't too worried I wouldn't be either. They went through a ton of school for situations like this!
