My little baby nephew is getting a tooth (you can feel the tooth breaking through his gums), so how long will it (approximately) take for him to get his first tooth!?

to wait to have it extracted? I have been a patient of this particular oral surgeon for four years, so I’m not walking in off the street. Shouldn’t an office have time slots for emergency visits? Why would this not be considered an emergency? I have already taken one round of antibiotics, but my tooth still hurts, the glands in my neck hurt (on the side of the abscessed tooth), and I just generally feel ill. I am completely dumbfounded that an oral surgeon’s office would actually ask someone to suffer seven weeks before having their tooth extracted. What do you think? (Please don’t state the obvious, which is that I could see someone else. There is a reason I’d like to stay with this practice if at all possible, but right now, I’m really pissed.)

my son is 11 months old and has 8 teeth. for the first one, he was about 5 & a half months old for his first one.
it seems like it took forever for it to come in once it broke gums. i gave him every teether imaginable and it took a little while for it to really start coming through. i would say about 3 weeks maybe or longer. i honestly dont remember exactly how long it was but it was quite a while…

I had a root canal last Wednesday in an eye tooth and it is still painful. Even my nose and cheek hurt. Is that normal?

If for 3 years there is no pain only here & there like every 7 months & thats only for a few mins then is this infection serious? does it mean it hasnt spread to jaw or anywhere, can the dentist know where the infection has spread by an x-ray?

I recently had a root-canal done on tooth #31 (a molar). The insurance is covering the root-canal process but not the crown. I had to get the root-canal, I had no choice. How long can I go without getting the crown? The crown is very expensive and my insurance is maxed out for the year. The dentist recommended no more than 2 months. Can I push this longer? My insurance will cover the process until after October 1, 2009 (7 months from now).

I had a root canal 5 days ago. The tooth is still pretty sensitive. It hurts when I brush my teeth, or even put a little pressure on it with my tongue. I was wondering if this was normal. I guess I didn’t think that just a tiny bit of pressure from my tongue or brushing my teeth would cause pain. Also is it ok to floss right now?

The pain is excruciating!

My root canal cost 718 dollars. I had that done a few weeks ago. I still have to get a post and crown though which will cost me like 1300 dollars!! Can I wait awhile before taking that step or should I do it soon. The dentist said it could wait til I had the money…but he didn’t specify how long I could wait.

I have just chipped my tooth, and apparently, the chip has gone near enough to the pulp that I might need a root canal before the dentists are able to bond my tooth. Does anyone know how many appointments it might take before my tooth will be completely fixed? That is, before my tooth is completely bonded? (I am also 13, I don’t know if my age will affect the time/pain of the root canal.) Thank you!
