dentisttt.?


Question Posted Friday December 15 2006, 11:20 pm

i went to a new dentist today.

i was wondering if i could be allergic to the kind of metal pick thing they use to count and scrap (etc) your teeth.

beacuse somethings wrong. i got home. they barely even touched my teeth just kind of poked around. and they hurt so bad my tongue cant even touch them. and my gums are all swollen and i have bumps that are really sore on the my gums. and when i brush my teeth they bleed so bad.

i was just wondering if anyone knew what i could do to fix it, or if im overreacting and i should just wait it out or see a doctor? .. i dont know. but it hurts. and it worries me.

Do you brush your teeth well?
Maybe your gums are sensitive

I would talk to your new dentist though.
Since they are a new dentist, they have new instruments and such.

Usually after they scrap your teeth, your gums are going to hurt and bleed when you brush them.

But go ask a parent to call in and ask a question if someone could be allergic to something they used!

Well, if your gums are irritated, then you aren't brushing your teeth well enough. Talk to a dentist ASAP.

I couldn't say for sure that it was an allergic reaction, but something is going on. If it is that sore and if you are in pain then go to an emergency room and have it looked at.

It is Friday night and while I would usually advise you to call your dentist, you may not be able to reach the office until Monday. Don't wait that long.
Should it be an infection of some sort stirred up by
your dental work, or maybe a piece of tooth gunk got
stuck under your gums, whatever it is it needs treated before Monday. :)
