  • Just had a question I have an abscess but it does not hurt .. Do you have any solutions on what I can do so it can go away

    I can feel like mucas in the back of my throat all day long what does that mean and is that dangerous?

  • I never liked the term "practicing"...I want a Dr that has already practiced!

  • Great informative vid, lets have more plz!

  • what causes the tooth to go black ? does this mean it will have to be pulled?  ive got 2 of those

  • @GayWorldOrder Holy crap. How long were you suffering with it before the extraction?

  • I got my tooth abscess done FREE at the Dental University, but I had to wait 4 days before they would see me and by then, I was ready to shoot myself in the head and commit suicide from the searing ice-pick pain. They ended up having to do maxiofacial surgery to remove the tooth and surrounding gum tissue, requiring a bone graft and a temporary implant that injects medicine directly into the infected socket. All said and done, I was very pleased minus bad pain for a week, but it saved me $5,680!

  • thanks doc

  • I agree. Very nicely done presentation by Dr. Neely.

  • good video

  • I have to get surgery on my gum and tooth. Everybody in my school says i am in or a rude awakening but my dentist says that I will be put to sleep and I won't feel some pain until a couple hours after the surgery. Right now I am scared because this is my 2nd time getting surgery and I feel like I am going to get something bad. I actually take good care of my teeth but this one tooth won't cooperate with my treatment and mouth so. Can anybody give me tips? I also have to get braces! Great vid doc
