Avatar f tn I want to know what are the risk factors involed during the dental scaling or cleaning. The equipments which are used during cleaning,are diposable (like injection needles) or not? If not, then how is it ensured that there is no chance of any kind of infaction (some bacterias or virus may survive at boiling temperature of water also). Please guide me.
Avatar f tn This combination of medications is used to treat mild-to-moderate pain associated with conditions such as headache, dental pain, muscle pain, painful menstruation, pain following an accident, and pain following operations. The half-life of acetaminophen is 1-4 hours......in other words, approximately every 4 hours, 1/2 the dose in your body will be excreted. This process will continue until all the medication is out of your system.
Avatar n tn 2, if the virus would be inactive after it left a human body for a few minutes, how come so many cases of HIV infection because of blood transfusion or operations with unstrictly sterilized instruments? 3, if the virus can keep active only in an environment of low temperature, how can virus on the dental instruments and razors infect another?
Avatar m tn On the place where one tooth was missing, they placed a Maryland Bridge. I preferred a dental implant, but they said I could better wait a while because of my age. I am a 17 year old boy. The missing tooth I am talking about is located in the upper jaw between the front and the canine tooth on the (from my perspective) left side.
Avatar n tn I think you should consult a dentist in this regard as he would be better off giving a judgement of the position of your son's dental structure.
Avatar m tn Can root canal be done by dentist in dental office? or I have to go to endodontist?
Avatar n tn I have been plagued for decades with unstable angina.....Hospitalized a few times, in a reputable hospital with more than qualified advice from my cardiologist, bypass surgeon and ICU director, I have been on a regemin of sublingual nitro tabs, nitro drugs, and patches , in various routeens, night and day...I had a quad pypass 11 years ago , and my surgeon who does "less invasive intra-rib" bypass operations says I am not a candidate , probably because of my advanced age of 91.....
Avatar n tn Hi i understand that not all operations are a success..but the operations that he had were q success...my frustration is in the last 4 month we have never been made aware that the sight could be lost! The surgeon keeps tellin us 'give it time' where as the specialist we seen at another hospital advised us that there is nothing more that they can do for his eye! I am not trying to put the blame onto anyone...
Avatar m tn t use a mask, and it would not be unreasonable to ask him why he does not do so, or to wear one in future operations on you. However, the purpose of masking during surgery is not to protect patients from blood-borne infections like HIV. The intent is to prevent bacterial wound infections (e.g., staph, strep); and to protect the surgeon from the patient's body secretions.
Avatar n tn I'm not sure if I exactly follow what you are saying. If the teeth are malpositioned in the jaw, I would consider going to an orthodontist to see if they can place them back in a proper position. I'm not sure if that answers your question though.
Avatar n tn I took an X-ray for my lower spine and the radiologist made me stand in a very very awkward position which kind of makes me bend backward my back and take a x-ray and forward too. Than the note to doctor given was Pressure Noted at L1 and L2. Now my doctor is sending me for a MRI. how bad is this?
Avatar f tn My question is if there are somewhere doctors who knows other type of operations ...is there any type of material or device which can support from outside the aorta dilatation? Thank you very much for your answer.
Avatar f tn After Root Canal Treatment little pain is normal. But it is very important to do regular dental checkups after the treatment to know the health of teeth. Regular dental visit can make your dentist aware about the problems your facing. Root canal treatment is need to checked regularly to know the health and position of teeth to avoid future discomfort.
Avatar f tn Any suggestions for home made devices to keep the head in proper position instead of renting equipment? What did you find the most helpful. How did you keep from getting sore. My mother just had this procedure done in an emergency so we didn't get a lot of time to research. What activities do you do when bored?
Avatar f tn 6 years ago I had my cheekbone smashed by a hockey ball. I have two operations to fix the side of my face but as I had severed my infraorbital nerve had severe nerve damage. I had terrible ant like sensation and hyper sensetive areas across my nose, lip and side of my face. I had further surgeries where they tried to freeze the nerve and then tried to obliterate the nerve. However, after every attempt the same horrible sensation comes back.
Avatar f tn After many years the opinion had been to take antibiotics prior to a dental procedure, about a year ago the American Heart Assocation has with additional information no longer takes that position. Mild, trivial, etc. valve leakage is considered medically insignificant and almost always doesn't progress. Not an uncommon condition.
Avatar f tn The Dental Assistant was probably right, unless there's a space or something and not touching the adjacent teeth even a tiny bit, even then the mouth is in constant motion. If it feels funny it could be the crown I guess, if it feels too thick on the lingual (back) or something, a big maybe. I'd give it a month. You can always go back if it doesn't get better by then.
Avatar n tn Is there a preferred type of crown used for a front tooth dental implant? Are the screw in type too bulky?
1569985 tn?1328247482 I have been told after taking antiobiotics for many years before dental work, that the current theory is they are not needed, even though I have a mild mitral regurge. I also am on coumadin and antibiotics apparently interacts with that drug. I need my teeth cleaned very badly -- I have put it off because I've not felt up to it, and I know it is important for heart health to take care of my teeth.
Avatar m tn Inform ur dentist about ur dx, but I don't know what effects ur dental surgery could have. I was dx back in Feb....and had several surgeries while waitin on the dx.Granted they weren't dental , but surgery the same. Are u concerned with the anesthisia(sp?) or the type and location of the surgery?
Avatar n tn t leave the US. Find a dental school where you can be assured of the best quality. Texas and Oklahoma have some of the best.
Avatar m tn I've a number of transcontinental along with many eastern seaboard hops and never experienced any difficulties. I know of no reason that an electrophysiology study would be postponed on numerous occasions unless cancelled by the patient themselves. You have to go in there with a positive attitude. Is it possible this person is not mentally prepared yet?
