Do I need to have a CT scan before a dental implant?

Can a dental implant cause jaw pain?

A dental implant is a titanium screw that is screwed into your jawbone…..yes, it will hurt for a few days. Just the act of the dentist holding your jaw tightly while they screw it into your bone can cause jaw soreness. Some people have discomfort for 3 days and for some it lasts up to two weeks. If you can take it, most of the time Tylenol is well tolerated, but ask your dentist what they recommend. Also, a heating pad on your jaw may reduce some of the muscle pain but again ask your dentist. The dentist that placed your implant should have given you postop instructions on what to take for the discomfort. FYI – when I got my implant my jaw muscles were sore for 3 days and the implant site was sore for 5 days until my mouth got used to having the implant there….then it all calmed down as my body adjusted…..heat and Tylenol is all I needed.

Your Daughter’s dentist is hopefully doing a check for things like this, at least, every 6 months when she goes in for her recommended Hygiene appointment. If it has come and gone by then you can take a picture of it and show the dentist so they can decide if it needs to be investigated further or they may ask you to call them if it happens again and make a short notice appointment just so the Dentist can do a biopsy of it and have it tested at a lab. Better to have it checked then let it go and wish you had.

There are many factors such as what material is used to make it? What type of cement was used?



More importantly is that you want to get the final crown ASAP so the margins and the surrounding teeth don’t change. While a temporary may last for months……it should be replaced as soon as you can, so the preparation site changes as little as possible.

How can I straighten my teeth without braces or Invisalign?

Depending on how much you need to straighten them you may be able to get veneers/crowns to make them look straighter, but the best long-term option would be to see an orthodontist. READ MORE
Depending on how much you need to straighten them you may be able to get veneers/crowns to make them look straighter, but the best long-term option would be to see an orthodontist. You may have to change the way your teeth come together, as well as straighten them, so there is going to be more involved than just the way they look. If not done correctly you could affect how you chew and if teeth don’t match correctly you can wind up cracking them. Despite what the TV ads say not everyone can use aligners without professional guidance and straightening your teeth may have more complications than you expect.

Why do I have to wait 3 months every time my wires are changed on my braces?

The thing is, you cannot compare yourself to others. Every person has a different experience when it comes to medical care. When doctors talk about how long something should take or what level things should be, they are talking based on averages and experience…. Every patient is different because every person is different. So, your wire changes may be at a different timing than someone else…. Trust your orthodontist knows what they are doing or switch to someone you do trust.

A filling can be replaced sometimes. If you remove all the old filling and there isn’t enough tooth structure left behind to hold the filling without cracking then you would need a crown or you would risk the tooth fracturing. If you are grinding that much you should also get an occlusal guard so you don’t break your new crown.



Good luck.
