Are you serious? Since when having icecream with bad/broken teeth is healthy?
Thus what I said, I have sensible teeth, the only thought of icecream pains me, I wouldn't want to be in LunaticMara's place, god save his soul.iMercurial wrote:

If you have a sensible teeth, just don't eat anything and resist the hunger until the next day.Nanael wrote:

I dunno.
Man, that sure must be painful.
A few years back, I had tooth decay on my premolar (didn't go detected because one of my dentists failed on fixing it way back) and it did sure hurt a lot.

This thread lacks actual dentists.
Is she going to meet the fairy tooth?
Sinistro fainted after reading the OP.
'ave a cry.
Took long enough for my name to come up. I'd have made a poor dentist indeed if I fainted after seeing an extracted tooth, though. After all, in my profession it's far more likely to see damaged teeth than healthy ones. Ok, let's see...
Nothing particularly bad will happen to you if you don't replace your missing molar immediately. Assuming you haven't lost a lot more teeth, your masticatory function, aesthetics, occlusion forces and articulation will hardly suffer at all. Still, if you delay significantly (to the tune of some years), the tooth above and the teeth on either side of your molar will start to move in the space left by it, which can make finding room for its replacement harder.
When/If you decide to do something about it, the most obvious prosthetic choices are either a bridge or an implant. A bridge is much cheaper and takes far less time to make, but it requires drilling the teeth on either side of the missing one to fit them with support crowns, potentially wasting perfectly healthy tooth tissue. The implant has a higher survival rate compared to bridges and does not need any teeth drilled (just bone, which will heal), but it takes longer to finish and is really expensive.
Ice cream can sometimes help with dental pain. Its low temperature can relieve chronic pulpitis (a stage at which your tooth's nerves are pretty much screwed and will unfortunately need a root canal) and it's also suitable for diminishing the inevitable swelling after an impacted tooth's extraction. Ice can do the job just as well, of course, but it doesn't taste sweet.
As far as brushing your teeth like a good boy goes, it's not enough to do it frequently. You also need to do it right.
I'm a bit surprised that something like that's happened to a young Finn, though. I've heard that dental health in Skandinavia is top notch. Maybe it was just Sweden?
Ok, pardon my intrusion. Back to Off-Topic.

I'll be the first to pedantically point out that Finland isn't in Scandinavia.
A bridge is not that bad actually. I also have one for almost 1 year and doing good with it. I was scared when I heard about "drilling" part though. Also "potentially wasting perfectly healthy tooth tissue" you said. If a molar looks like this, I can not be sure about others' perfection.
And yeah, an implant would be very very expensive for him. Though It's still the best option.

Finland is not part of Scandinavia, but there is supposed to be good teeth care in Finland. I just suck at protecting my teeth, apparently.Sinistro wrote:

I wonder what does bridge or implant cost?

Mara at least over here social security covers most of the cost. Tooth care (braces + dentistry + wisdom teeth operation) in total went little over 1000 for me, IIRC. I should get the files.
Before the age of 15 every dental operation is free in Finland, don't really have any idea about anything else though
Prices can vary between countries, but I expect the ratio to remain the same. FWIW, over here an implant is about 6-7 times more expensive than an equivalent bridge.LunaticMara wrote:

Slovakia 327.00 euros /month based on a 40hr week
Norway €1600.00 /month based on a 37.5hr week (There's no legal minimum wage in Norway, but entry level jobs usually pay a minimum of 133.46 NOK per hour. At 37.5 hours per week, this equals about 21800 NOK in a month (=1600 euro))
