It's common that dentist will clean/re-bore the hole a bit before doing filling so that the it can stick properly.. You need to go back to the dentist and told them about the pain that you're having.

Indeed not really equally same... know to me last 3 years only... now using Sensodyne and extra soft toothbrush

Sensodyne good? I have always been using Colgate only

yup me from Colgate too

There may be a chance that the tooth was dead and having an infection ongoing, and the hole helps to be an exit channel for the infection.

Once closing it up, the infection has no more exit pathway and starting building up inside the tooth therefore causing extreme pain.

Best to get it checked again and tell them you have had extreme pain after filling, ideally they should take a test on your tooth and a x-ray to check for any infection ongoing.

toothpaste brand doesnt matter, they all have different formulation to cater for personal taste.

Most importantly is a good toothbrush and proper brushing technique to maintain your oral hygiene

Hi,
After extracting my wisdom tooth, it's impacting my 2nd molar. I was refer to another Doctor from my original clinic since it's difficult for filling and root canal due to my smaller jaw and position for filling for the 1st doctor. I was charged total RM3500 for both services with the 2nd doctor.
1st consultation rm100, Filling rm550 and remaining for root canal. Is the price normal or is it high due to referral ?

And now will be going back to my 1st doctor for crown, how much usually cost for a crown ?

anyway,

i had the same issue and my mouth/jaw is small too.

the dentist managed to fill the cavity at the back of 2nd molar (impacted by the wisdom tooth).

So, no need to do crowning.

Just finished scaling and the dentist ask me to come back for braces appointment in two week.

Have a question myself

How can we assess that we do not need scaling ?

Have seen doctor recommend other not need to do scaling because teeth are clean state

Understand General guideline is twice a year for scaling.

I think he or she meant that the wisdom tooth was impacting on the 2nd molar. Now that the wisdom tooth is removed, filling on the 2nd molar is required.

Go have a check with your regular dentist, he or she would give your best assessment.

general guideline is to check twice a year. If your teeth is well taken care, it can be longer. some patients may even require scaling every 3 months due to various reasons.

Or one way is to take some plaque disclosing agent, they will stain tartar and that will let you know where is unclean.

hi, may i know what's the market price for extracting a wisdom tooth?
I'm currently 20 years old, studying in U, so i wonder it might get pricey to extract at a private dental shop.
is it possible to extract at a government clinic?

Depending on your location.

General Dentist perhaps 600++
Specialist 1000++

You can get it done in at a government clinic too. Some clinic do offer wisdom tooth extraction services, if its complicated, they may refer your to the specialist for extraction.
Only cons is the waiting time

any recommended government clinic in shah alam area?

You can refer to KKM website or here

Besides that u can also visit any Uni that offers dentistry courses either public or private as they will have their own dental clinic run. It will be much cheaper too an waiting list might not be as long as Gov clinic. Just another suggestion

Which is the stronger painkiller paracetamol 500mg or mefenamic acid 500 mg?

What type of anesthesia do dentist normally use for wisdom tooth extraction?

Is it safe to extract wisdom tooth when the patient is taking blood thinners?

Both are not very strong to start with, Mefenamic acid would be the longer lasting one. and Paracetamol needs at least 1g for it to give painkilling effect.

Generally, local anesthesia, lignocaine, mepivacaine, articaine etc

Best to consult your physician that is prescribing your the blood thinners, sometimes they may ask you to stop 1 or 2 days before your wisdom tooth surgery. or just go ahead with them.

Just wanted to ask, if a cracked lower molar is held by a composite resin, something like binding the crack together, will there be still movement of the different cracked surfaces when biting?
