default
Posted on Wed, 30 Sep 2015
Question: I had a lower right wisdom tooth cavity-pocket problem with pain and lower edema facial and the ER gave me antibiotic and pills for pain. Side facial edema and pain were eventually gone(I know the wisdom tooth needs to be extract BUT I now have a great phobia of Dentist due to a 2007 incident with an XXXXXXX Dentist in XXXXXXX AZ took advantage of me while I were knock-out and he got revenged since I did not want him to take a specific toot that he wanted for it were not damaged, it were a healthy and I wanted him to take the bad wisdom tooth and when I awaken, he were nowhere to be found and left the dental technician at my sidechair and she said the wisdom tooth were extracted, I asked to see it and she said its to far down the garbage and I asked for a mirror and she gave me a mirror but told me not to take the gauge pad out, I did but the bad tooth was still there and I saw a non-evaporate suture were done to the top upper ceiling of my mouth and I said, WHAT DID THAT DENTIST DO TO ME, I were not aware of him slicing cut marks on the front half of my tongue until the numbness all went away after a week and as I were about to sip some hot tea, I got a great burning sensation on my front tongue as though all nerves were exposed and I check my tongue in the bathroom mirror and I filed my griefness to the Dental Board and the dentist did not show, he had his lawyer to appear and I DID NOT GET ANY JUSTICE WITH MY PROOF BEING IGNORED with a tooth brush and saw multiple slash-cut marks on my tongue and the dental board let him get away with his crime and the dental president did not want to view the multiple slash-cut mark the Dentist did on my tongue of which I to this day cannot sip/eat nothing warm-hot, I HAD TO SEE A TRUE-BLUE XXXXXXX DENTIST FOR HIM TO TAKE THE WISDOM TOOTH OUT THAT THE OTHER DENTIST HAD HIS ASSIST. TO LIE ABOUT AND THAT DENTIST HAD ME TO COME BACK LATER TO TAKE THE SUTURE OUT MY TOP CEILING MOUTH ) and perhaps my waited far to long to get this now wisdom to out, and AFTERWARD currently, my tongue feels numbness at half front tip as does my bottom lower inner lips with taste sensation being affected and my saliva gland seems to be thicken with my having to use my tooth brush as I clean my tongue in the morning (brushing my teeth), I brush the far back of my tongue to bring out the thick white mass saliva until it clears AND I then blow my nose soas to clear out any lingering mucus that I didn't cough up----WHAT CAN BE CAUSING SUCH AND IS THERE A CURE OR PERHAPS, I NEED TO QUICKLY GET THAT WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACT AND THEN THE MEDICAL ISSUE WILL CLEAR UP ????

Brief Answer:
Pressure by wisdom tooth over nerve, investigations, extraction

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
I feel sorry for your condition. As far as the numbness over the tongue and lip is concerned, it can be because of the pressure over the nerve by the wisdom tooth. Nothing to worry, Consult a good oral maxillofacial surgeon and get the tooth removed. You need to get some investigations like radiographs to see the condition of wisdom tooth, its approximation to the nerve and the amount of bone covering the wisdom tooth. If you have all these reports, in future if some issue happens like your previous bad experience, you will have proof with you. Right now consult a good oral surgeon and get the tooth removed.
Get a orthopantomograph or CBCT done and upload the images, so that i can give you the exact diagnosis and treatment plan.
I hope i have answered your query. If any queries are there, reply me back.
Take care.

WHEN I SAW A PIC OF A TRUE-BLUE DOCTOR(Caucasian), I ASSUMED HE WOULD RESPOND TO MY REPLY, INSTEAD, I SEE THE PIC/NAME OF AN XXXXXXX DOCTOR WITH TO WHOM, KNOWLY THAT I HAD A VERY DRASTIC EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE WITH AN XXXXXXX DOCTOR DENTIST, SHOWS(regardless of the XXXXXXX doctor stating he's sorry about my incident, the damaged has been solidified regardless of my age-----just like when I at age 20 got raped by a black dark-skinned male and became afraid to associate with a black male until I joined the Army and him being older/matured with a subtle approach were the first and last black dark-skin person I've associated, I am a black light-skin female)NO REGARDS TO MY DENTAL MISHAP-STORY AND WHEN I SAW THAT AN XXXXXXX DOCTOR RESPOND, THAT REPELLED FEELING WITHIN ME CAME BACK THAT HAS BEEN LYING DORMAT---I NOLONGER HAVE ANY TRUST TOWARDS ANY XXXXXXX DOCTOR AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET PASS IT, REGARDLESS EVEN OF MY WORKING IN THE CARDIOLOGY FIELD WITH THEM(I give them my respect and just move on to get their next patient but keep my personal issue off the job),perhaps because I did not get closure justice from the dental board AND I AM SOO SORRY THAT I AM A GOD-FEARING PERSON FOR IF I WERE NOT, I WOULD'VE HAD 8 BULLET WITH DR. MASSOUND EFEKEL(last name spelled wrong)INVISIBLE INITIAL ON THEM.
NOW I WILL GO INPERSON HERE TO GET A 2nd OPINION ANSWER TO MY REPLY FROM A TRUE-BLUE DOCTOR OR ELSE I WILL NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE MENTALLY UNTIL AN REPLY COMES FROM ANY OTHER RACE DOCTOR OTHERTHAN OF XXXXXXX ORGIN.....I'M KEEPING IT REAL OF BEING HONEST AND STRAIGHT-UP.

DISAPPOINTED,

Brief Answer:
Consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon, ask questions directly,

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feed back.
With great respect i am answering to your query. If you want you can choose a particular doctor by contacting the customer care in our website. You can ask any doctor whom you like. I did not feel bad listening to your words about XXXXXXX doctors but rather than using a country name, you can use the doctor who did not treat you properly in your previous visits. You cannot do racial discrimination here.
It is a health issue and you are taking an opinion for that there is no need for you to comment about XXXXXXX dentist. First you need to remove your mental block about XXXXXXX dentists. Stop thinking about this racial discrimination and get your tooth treated by consulting a good oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
My colleague is a gynecologist, many a time during surgical procedures she might not be able to save the kids who dies because of many reasons and complications. She is a black lady, it does not mean that i can scold entire black people or gynecologists. I cant do racial discrimination here. She is still my best friend. All dentist will not be same and all dentist will not do mistakes.
So please do not discuss about all these in a public forum, ask the question directly and get the answer. If you are not happy with the answer you can contact the customer care people and change the doctor. It as simple as that rather than telling bad about a country, a dentist...
Even i answering honestly, i have come up here after studying my post graduation with medals, i am not an uneducated person to do mistakes.. I am specialized in my own profession. Please stop blaming about a country. You can XXXXXXX the doctor who could not treat you properly. But you cannot comment about a country. My country is great for me...I hope you understand, if not better understand..
I hope i have answered your query. If any queries are there reply me back. Take care.

IT IS WHAT IT IS AND REALITY CAN NOT BE CHANGED, THERE'S NO SUGAR COATING ,I HAVE BEEN WORKING 40++ years with varies country doctors and I have not seen a competient U.S.A XXXXXXX doctor and decides to give that XXXXXXX Dentist my "TRUST", I should've listen to my intutition, but I ignored it and I paid the price with a permanent damaged multiple slash-cut tongue and a phobia to see Dentist in general BUT did made a current appointment BUT insured the Dentist is NOT XXXXXXX orgin. Racial discrimination has nothing to do with my opinion for I AM NOT RACIAL to any person, you read my comment with indepth lack of comprehension for it were not geared of your callings for the word "UNEDUCATED" of you.

You don't have to reply to the above comment.Thank you for your time and have a pleasant day.

Cordially Yours,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
Consult a oral surgeon

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply. It is a health care system where we don't treat any body by their origin of the country. our motto is to solve the problem of the patient by our knowledge and experience. Get the above said investigations and take opinion from two doctors so that it will clear your doubts. If one of your previous visit to dentist was a bad experience, it does not mean that all visits will be like that. So consult a good oral surgeon with whom you are cifortable and get the treatment done.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care
