I have a dead tooth that’s infected, I got a temporary filling done last week before my root canal. She said the infection has to clear up before I can get a root canal, but she didn’t send me home with antibiotics and didn’t create a drainage hole. She said it’s just a matter of if my body can clear the infection, but everything online says the infection will not clear without antibiotics.

My next appointment for the root canal is in 7 weeks but I fear the infection is damaging the rest of my teeth or it’ll get worse in 7 weeks. It feels like she’s doing everything wrong and setting me up to have more cavities.

Is this course of treatment correct? I really like this dentist I’m in no way bad mouthing her but I’m doctor Google and it just doesn’t seem right, plus I’m still in pain.

Unsure if this is the place to ask but why not. I’m in no rush to get top surgery because I’m pretty small but I want to do research and pick a good doctor because I’m scared of bad results, big scars or something like that would cause more GD.

Problem is I don’t even know where to start, do you guys have some recommendations? Canadian based btw.

Hello me again. I just got a temporary filling in a dead tooth, root canal in 7 weeks. Obviously the dead tooth caused an infection, so it has to be gone in 7 weeks for my root canal or I need surgery. I think it’s a minor infection because it doesn’t show on the outside, only x rays, that’s why I can’t attach a photo.

But based on the fact it’s not big enough to show on the outside, what’s my chances of it clearing up on its own in 7 weeks? My dentist said it just depends on my body but what extra steps can I take to make sure it heals in time?

I’m a smoker, age 23, I plan to cut back on smoking. I’m gonna try my best to avoid sugar n sweets, not chew on that side despite my opposite side getting sore now due to only chewing on that side. I almost fully cut out monsters after drinking them 5 days a week for years, with a straw tho. Will these things help my healing process? And what more can I do?

Thanks

How do yall feel about slightly GNC or lgb transmeds? No I don’t mean the TikTok alts that just dress like cottagecore lesbians, normal things that is common for cis/bio men and women.

For example, are we rocking with long haired trans men who are otherwise masc asf? I posted a selfie to a trans group bc I was curious on what I can do to look better, also bored, and a lot of people said long hair is feminine and that I should cut it. Idk maybe I’m bias but long hair on men is so common in my area, it’s normal to me, we have a large rock scene (why my hair is long) plus hockey flows. Most the men in my life have longer hair than me, or funky hair like mullets n rat tails. I don’t rlly get misgendered and when I do, they quickly correct themselves when they see my face.

It’s silly because when tucutes are mad at me, they say shit like “not every trans man will fit in your box of what a trans man should be!!” As if I didn’t completely break out of the hypermasc box once I was on T for 4 years (currently at 6yrs), but I think GNC should be saved for when you pass; otherwise it would make you dysphoric, no?

I’ve had cis “ally” girls try to force the non binary label on me because of the fact I’m bi and still painted my nails in early transition, until I was told it’s weird because I’m masc. I already went through an identity crisis while coming out because of the fact I’m bi and still like things like nails, i obviously was raised in the early 2000s so i was under the impression trans men were extreme lesbians n could only be straight n 100% masc, so i had a hard time understanding myself.

I was seeing a cis gay man who’s also fem and masc, for five years. So he changed my views on on strict gender roles and made me more comfortable being more of a mix but still being a man.

Be nice please, I was happy to find this sub and find transsexuals who feel the same as me about a certain demographic of people. But after reading some posts I see yall are strict about binaries and was wondering everyone’s views on GNC transmeds. I feel like both sides would hate me😂

This is a very general question but how long do you need to be clean from ket abuse, before you can get laughing gas at the dentist.
I’m 22 yr old man that snorts ket almost everyday to cope, I need dental work done but my body uncontrollably shakes from sharp objects so I need “laughing gas” at this big age. I’ve always had it and react very well no sickness at all. But this addiction is new so I don’t know how it’ll interact with gas. I would never do it the day of but how far out should I stop to not have a bad reaction. Trying to do damage control the best I can. My appointment is in just under two weeks.

Long story short, what would happen if I used it a week before my appointment?

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, I’m not good at putting thoughts into words, I can answer any more questions/add details
