What’s the stuff dentists use to make molds of your mouth?

admin — Tue, 04 May 2010 09:48:10 +0000

What is the rubbery stuff that dentists use to make moulds of the inside of your mouth? I need to know what it’s called and if possible where I can get some…
…It’s for model making.

AS A DENTIST I CAN ANSWER THIS EASILY.
THE MOST COMMON IS A POWDER YOU MIX WITH WATER IT’S CALLED ALGINATE.
THE OLD ORIGINAL VERSION SOMETINES USED TODAY IS CALLED RUBBER BASE COMPOUND.
A MORE MODERN AND EXPENSIVE FORM IS IN AUTO-MIX CARTRIDGE AND CAN BE OF SEVERALVARIETIES AND PROPERTIES.
FOR MAKING MODELS ALGINATE IS A COST-EFFECTIVE OPTION. AS THIS MATERIAL DOESN’T LAST INDEFINITELY, RUBBER BASE IS THE ALTERNATIVE. HOWEVER, FOR MAKING MODELS OF THE MOUTH DENTAL TRAYS WHICH HOLD THE IMPRESSION MATERIAL ARE NEEDED.
TO GET SUCH TRAYS THEY NEED TO PROPERLY FIT YOUR MOUTH. ASK IF YOUR DENTIST IS WILLING TO LET YOU HAVE A FEW.

admin — Sun, 02 May 2010 02:42:27 +0000

this is my friend after she got her wisdom teeth removed…the drugs may have been a little strong “who’s in the house?”
“I feel like a unicorn just took me on a ride to a magical palace, to the land of the blueberries. And we eat onions all day…mushrooms… sometimes if were lucky we get papaya. He flies me around and I hang on to the unIcorn, and we float away to the land of the ease… and we float float float… who’s in the house? JC! tell me who’s in the house? JC! He was born to a virgin named Mary on Christmas day, he bled and he just died on the cross to take sin away, you take him high, you take him low, you take JC wherever you go, now tell me who who who who who tell me who’s in the house? JC! Tell me who’s in the house? JC! Jesus Christ is in the house today. Are you okay? Are you okay?! I’m Okay. I’m just (gibberish) gospel. You got a mouth full of cotton. I’m so thirsty. It’s peculiar. It’s quite peculiar! …

Why do the dentists make molds of your teeth and do they have too make molds of your teeth?

admin — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 08:33:40 +0000

I might need to go to a dentist soon, but I need to know do the dentists have too make a mold of my teeth?

Why do they make molds of your teeth?

In the past when I went to a dentist they had to make a mold of my teeth and it’s a struggle for them to get the mold out.

With other people, is it a struggle for them to get the mold out of your mouth?

Usually for just a dental exam, they don’t need a mold of your teeth. I have worked for a dentist for 21 years, and the only time we take molds is for orthodontic purposes, tooth replacement, night guards, stuff like that. It is always a struggle to take the molds out, But they ALWAYS do come out. The reason it is difficult is because the mold creates a suction. Especially the upper one. Once the suction is broken, it comes right out. If you need to have one taken in the future, just relax and be assured that they will get it out.

Whats the name of the alternative teeth cleaning method that dentists use?

admin — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 10:31:48 +0000

I am very sensitive when I get my teeth cleaned. I think it may be the whole scraping motion and sounds accompanied with it. I heard there is another way dentists clean teeth. I dont know if it is sand blasting or like sand blasting. Whatever it is it doesnt require any scraping tools. Has anyone had this done? Or does anyone know that name of it?

What are my options if none of the in network dentists in my plan are accepting new patients?

admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:37:01 +0000

I’m with Cigna, and I’ve never had insurance in my life until this week. All excited, I started calling all the cosmetic dentists within a 75 mile range of my home and NOONE is accepting new patients! Now I’m regretting getting the insurance since it looks like I have to go out of network anyway. Do I have any other options?
I can’t get off the insurance until next year, or by switching jobs. It’s through my employer!

Get off that insurance as it seems you are wasting your money
