parkkinsons disease has paralyzed my soft pallet and made my speech 98% non understandable . with all my sounds being very nasally. ive heard of a dental plate that covers the pallet andseals off the air ,inturn coorrecting the nasally sound
Med/related / does anyone know a procedure that implants a dental appartus that would help regain my speech?
Yes, you are right. There are devices that you put at the back of your mouth to keep sounds from being nasally. Check with your dentist, or you might have to go to a specialist. Also try speech therapy because you will need help to train yourself to talk right. They could be very helpful, and may even have support groups that you could go too.

Can anyone answer my dental question?
What are the procedures for getting a dental crown, and how many visits does it require?
Can anyone answer my dental question?
When you get crowns, you need two appointments. One in which they drill, and do impressions before and after drilling to make the crown with. Then they put a temporary plastic crown on. When that is on, you have to avoid chewing hard foods on it, and when you floss, only floss down and pull through, don't pull up. (One time I forgot to do that and it popped my temporary off... fortunately it was right before my 2nd appointment!)
At the second appointment (about two weeks later most likely) they pop off the temporary crown, and put on the permanent one. Mine are porcelain and match my teeth perfectly, so you can't tell by looking at it that it's even a crown.
It took a little while for me to get used to it, kept feeling like something was stuck on my tooth. But now they just feel normal, and don't bother me at all.
Reply:That will depend on if your tooth needs work or not. a crown is usually placed on top of the tooth to cover a major damaged area or after a root canal "smaller damages can be fixed with bonding". if your tooth requires a tooth canal. you will have to do that first which requires about 4-5 hours depending on the tooth access. the doctor might split the root canal work into two appointments. after the root canal is done, a temporary crown will be placed on the tooth. this temporary crown will remain their for 1 to 2 weeks to give the gums and tooth some time to heal and to ensure that no nerves were left in the tooth. in the mean time the casting for the new crown is sent to a lab to build. 2 weeks later the temp crown is removed and the new one placed and fitted.
your original tooth is shaved and filed to make a base for the crown.
hope this helps.

How come my doctor asked if I had recently had dental work done because of infection?
I have an infection in my breast following breast augmentation surgery. My doc asked if I have had any procedures such as dental, etc... ( I haven't ) What does that have to do with the infection?
How come my doctor asked if I had recently had dental work done because of infection?
often times, when going to the dentist, when cleaing your teeth they will puncture your gums, a little bleeding no big deal, right? but those cuts allow bacteria into the bloodstream. for most people, this is no problem, however if you have a heart valve problem or a heart murmur or even recent surgery, your body is already vulnerable and cannot fight off bacteria that a normal immune system could
hope your infection clears up!
Reply:Bacteria in the mouth can travel through the blood stream and cause an infection in a weakened part of your body. In your case you had breast surgery and that was your bodies weakest area so your doctor just wanted to make sure that during your healing you didn't expose your body to potential infection through dental work.
Reply:Becasue sometimes bacteria from your mouth can cause infections. Something people should really be aware of. PEOPLE! FLossing IS IMPORTANT!!!
Reply:Bacteria!!
Reply:Expanding on what the first 2 respondents said: dental work can facilitate introduction into your bloodstream of the bacteria in your mouth.
Reply:at any given time for any reason an infection might not stay localized. as the blood travels through the body it caries bacteria, virus, nutrients, vitamins, etc.
although am curious about what other questions he asked you?
Reply:infections in the mouth are dangerous because the blood stream will carry the bacteria to other parts of the body. as for me , i had a tooth infection and my doctor explained how it was also causing a kidney infection

Dental Tooth implant Procedure and experiences?
I am getting ready to have a tooth implant in the back of my mouth and was wondering if anyone else has had one. If so what is the procedure like and the amount of pain you went thru while doing it?
Dental Tooth implant Procedure and experiences?
Yes, they are expensive. Before I could get my implants I had to have some bone grafting done. I had one implant done 2 years ago and it cost about $3500. That doesn't include the bone. Some people don't need the bone replaced. In November I had 6 more screws (implants) put in. The cost was $7700. But that price does not include the teeth that are attached to the implant. A dentist will make those whereas the implants are done by a dental surgeon. I think the teeth are about $600 each. It is quite expensive but they will last a lifetime. They feel just like your regular teeth. Being young (less than 50 years old) they are the perfect choice for me. If I had to have false teeth (dentures) I think my self image and esteem would be nil. Plus how would I feel about a guy I was dating finding out that my teeth come out.
There is another choice you can make. My mother and my sister got this other kind of implants. I think they are called mini implants. What happends there is mini screws are put in your mouth and they stick out of your gums. Then a special denture is made that snaps onto the screws in your mouth. They are sturdy and secure. You can wear them all the time, just take them out and clean them once a day. The life of this type is about 10 years. I think the total cost was somewhere around $12,000 for the uppers and lowers.
If you're really interested check around for a good oral surgeon and dentist, preferably ones that work together (refers to each other).
Hope this is helpful and makes sense!!

Dental insurance?
Will dental insurance cover the fixing of a gap between the two front teeth? For example, will procedures such as dental binding be covered?
Dental insurance?
The true answer is that it should not be. But as a practical matter insurance companies don't ask if a filling is done purely for cosmetic purposes (in which it isn't covered).
You should discuss this with your own dentist for the office policy though.
