| Dental Cleanings - New Science | 28 Nov 2008 16:29 GMT | 13 |
A Cochrane Review of Dental Cleanings surprisingly showed no clear evidence that they are effective. So if you have to pay for them, there is at least some authoritative evidence that you could skip them without harm.

| What is the best dental school in North America? Worldwide? | 28 Nov 2008 16:23 GMT | 24 |
CA-DDS has been ranting about worldwide dental education. One of the repliers stated that he/she had gone to the best dental school in the US. IIRC, Temple and NYU were had their accreditation "on probation" in the late 1970's. PENN and Harvard are overrated - in my hands-on, ...

| jaw bone loss a result of aging? | 27 Nov 2008 15:31 GMT | 1 |
In the edentulous the jaw bone usually shrinks over time. Is it because of (1) aging, (2) poor nutrition, such as low vit D levels, smoking, low calcium levels, or (3) lack of teeth. This shrinking is unpredictable.

I had a dental cleaning today. The hygenist had on my chart to apply "Antibacterial Irrigation-FM" Code D4997 for a fee of $46.25 which insurance does not cover. The procedure involved a syringe filled with a colored liquid which the hygenist squirted on my gums and teeth. It

| Altered records? | 24 Nov 2008 00:28 GMT | 1 |
Does a dentist normally send only a summary of activity when they give a patient their records? The dentist I had so much trouble with sent me my "records," but it wasn't what I saw in my file when I was last there. What does the dental code "9999" mean? Thanks in advance.

| Extracting Tooth 31 Next To Impacted 32 | 21 Nov 2008 18:48 GMT | 6 |
A few years ago I had tooth 29 and 30 extracted due to bone loss. They were crowned and loose. I still have 31 with some minor cracks and some bone loss. The dentist feels it probably needs a crown, maybe even a root canal which he'd know once he goes in. If it's in really

| Crown Too High Again | 20 Nov 2008 04:06 GMT | 8 |
I posted 3 weeks ago about Tooth #2's crown feeling high. It hurt when I pressed it. I saw the dentist the next day and he filed the gold down a little. For 2 weeks after that it felt better and for the most part, completely comfortable. I had my teeth cleaned a week ago, he
