Question: Help please!! Question about cavities and wisdom teeth!!! PLEASE HELP =)!?
My situation: I found out I have like 7 cavities and apparently they've been there for a while cause i haven't been to the dentist in like 3 years!. Anyway what can happen if I don't treat them!.!.!.and what's the worst that can happen!? Also, what does it mean for cavities to grow or spread!.!.!.is that what possibly happened to me!? Anyway, a filling for each cavity costs $25 and I just don't have that kind of money right now (it's not covered by my insurance)!.
Wisdom teeth: they said one is jacked and bacteria is thriving b/c food is so easily stuck way down b/c of the way the tooth is positioned over my gums!. Anyway, they said i need to get them pulled asap but i can't afford to take 2 weeks off (as they said would be absolutely necessary) b/c off work and school! Also, what can happen if I just take that one bad wisdom tooth and leave the rest in, would i be okay!?

Answers:
First, the cavities!.
If not filled, the infection in the cavities will keep growing!. Right now, possibly it is affecting the first and second layer of tooth( Enamel = first layer, Dentin= second layer)!. But if not treated, it will reach the third layer, ie, Pulp!. Pulp contains all the nerve tissue of the teeth, and for this reason, when infection reaches pulp, it is very painful!. You will have severe throbbing ache, which could be unbearable!. Also, if only enamel and dentin is effected, the tooth could be treated by simple filling, but infection reaches pulp, it could only be treated by RCT(Root Canal Treatment), which is ten times more expensive than filling and also, it needs 3 appointments for a single tooth treatment!. It is difficult to say, how long will it take the infection to reach the pulp tissue!. Could be 6 mos, or could be less!.
Other thing is keep your mouth clean!. Good oral hygiene could delay spread of infection to some extent!. Brush after every meal!. Use mouthwashes (Listerine) or even warm salty water to rinse every day!. Plus the floss!.
Second, about the wisdom teeth!. I cannot tell you, without examination!. But ofcource, you can get the worst effected tooth extracted first, and if others are not infected, you can leave it for time being!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ur teeth can rot and stink/ look unsightly, u can get infections u might have to have serious surgiers because of infections, u might have to get replacements if your teeth rot!. ur wisdom teeth if not enough room in your mouth can cause ur teeth start to go crooked, if they say the wisdom teeth need to come out they need to come out they aren't just saying this to get your money!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
You won't need 2 weeks off work!. The surgery is usually don on a friday and you will be back to work on monday!. As for the cavities, doesn't sound like you have much f an option!. Just pay the $1000!.00 and have them fixed before you end up with dentures!.
Those are your teeth, the only set your going to have!. $1000!.00 doesn't seem so bad!. Respect your body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm confused about the 2 weeks off work - I got all 4 of mine surgically removed friday and was back to work monday!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Dude,,,,Seriously when you say jacked do you mean impacted!?(impacted is under the gum) Actually $25 is cheap to have a cavity filled and to have the work done, The Dentist usually fills a couple of cavities on the same side of the mouth at a time!. To have wisdom teeth pulled doesn't take 2 weeks to recover!. Maybe a day or two at the most!. Quit stalling and get your teeth fixed and what happens if you don't!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Alot!. As time goes on without treatment, you will soon loose all your teeth due to infections caused by bacteria!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You have to find the money to do this, otherwise it will end up costing you 10 times that amount, if you need root canal treatment or fake teeth (which could be the end result)!. Get the fillings done first, even if you have to sell something or give up one luxury for a while!.
I had impacted wisdom teeth, I was pretty sore for about one week, but you may be able to go back to work even before that, I think two weeks sounds a bit over the top!.
If you don't get your wisdom teeth done it also could be bad news, could cost you a lot more money & cause you a lot of pain from infection!.
Ask if they have some sort of payment plan, or you may have to borrow money from someone!. The dentist is probably telling you the truth sounds correct to me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
