Health / Re: Price Of Tooth Extraction In Lagos by Sewasaunt(f): 7:17pm On Feb 26 |
Emmywizzy05: Just seeing this, with your location, I replied elsewhere before. 1. Federal dental centre, Broad street 2. Island Maternity, very common 3. Sura Primary Health Centre. Not far from Obalende |
Health / Re: Price Of Tooth Extraction In Lagos by Sewasaunt(f): 7:15pm On Feb 26 |
Emmywizzy05: Depends on where you stay in Lagos. For best prices, Consultation , xray and simple extraction will be approximately 15,000 (with good hands and best prices) in 1. Lasuth, Ikeja 2. Luth, Idi-Araba 3. Igando General Hospital and any General Hospital around you, 4. Federal Dental Centre on Broad Street, Any General Hospital around you. If you don't want to queue or be delayed, you can try 1. Ojokoro primary health Centre around Abule egba or Sura Primary Health Centre on the Island. I think Mushin health centre and Bariga health centre too, I can't vouch for the Health centre in Egbeda though. Best wishes. It's also a relatively painless procedure when done well and you should keep to the post op instructions after and use your prescribed drugs well and in a timely manner. |

Aurora44: Same account that stole $111 barely 3 years ago and blocked the person is here crying about being scammed? There's nothing I won't see on Nairaland. So how has your life been? Hope the $111 is still feeding you? Just kidding, I know you have had a meaningless and hopeless life and guess what? It's not going to get any better, you will toil constantly with nothing to show for it, year upon year, cycle upon cycle. You will cry out and no one will hear you, you will hurt and nothing will ease your pain, you will beg for death and even that won't come. You will run from pillar to post, from high to low, you will be a perpetual stench to yourself and others around you. Whatever you touch won't flourish, YOU won't flourish. That money you took has been haunting you and will always haunt you. Good news will be far from you and everything good will continue to avoid you. |

Orubebe01: Permanent replacement can be either a bridge or an Implant. An implant can be from 500,000 - 1 million naira or more. A bridge for a single tooth starts from around 240,000 and increases with the number of teeth being replaced but for a bridge healthy teeth beside the missing tooth will have to be trimmed 1 Like |

Orubebe01: A denture is the removable artificial tooth. For just a tooth= it costs 6,900 in Lasuth, same range in Luth. Other centres may be a bit more expensive and will be less stressful but one tooth can be up to 15,000. Gbagade General Hospital or FMC Ebute metta too There are really good private clinics around too, you can check online and see the reviews. |

Mehn, I can't believe this is who I was arguing with and trying to see reason with. I am not against your hbot but there has to be sufficent data and proof that it works, oxygen will improve most cellular processes in the body but at what risk, which conditions? You can't just be parading it as a miracle cure and after people waste money and time and loose hope you will change your tone again.

[quote author=oxygenator How would the patients or healthcare providers know if they are not informed? [/quote] Lastly? Health providers know sir, they have always known about it, I was taught in school many years ago under management of chronic osteomyelitis. It's not some hidden secret big pharma is trying to hide from the world. There's just not enough research into it as well as clinically proven efficacy for it to be advised for other medical conditions. |

Even if your bleeping hbot works, someone died and the first thing that came to your retired brain is to advertise your hbot? Where is your empathy? Where is your humanity? If we ask now, your hbot will be crazily expensive and I am sure it's not even in an ethical facility. You can prove me wrong by posting some details. I can also link you up with a cerebral palsy patient or any patient of your choice with one of the conditions you have mentioned it helps with willing to undergo hbot for you to try it on free of charge ( because I am sure you are coming to deny being a broke ass marketer).

The post I copied, edited and pasted above is from John Hopkins Hospital website. The main uses clinically are decompression sickness and osteomyelitis. In the quoted case of seizures above, it has no proven use, you have recommended it for cerebral pasly too- a condition it also has no clinically proven use for. Don't let your greed blind you. Stop scamming and misleading people. It's unfair and very painful to see people like you giving false and inaccurate hope and making those suffering to suffer even more. Science is evolving and people are working round the clock to bring more therapeutic options for medical conditions but until then, refresh and renew your mind. I am mama Dentist, what are you?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a type of treatment used to speed up healing of carbon monoxide poisoning, gangrene, wounds that won't heal, and infections in which tissues are starved for oxygen. For this therapy, you enter a special chamber to breathe in pure oxygen in air pressure levels 1.5 to 3 times higher than average. The goal is to fill the blood with enough oxygen to repair tissues and restore normal body function. Facts about hyperbaric oxygen therapy Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was first used in the U.S. in the early 20th century. The therapy was tried again in the 1940s when the U.S. Navy used it to treat deep-sea divers who had decompression sickness. By the 1960s, the therapy was also used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning. Today, it's still used to treat sick scuba divers and people with carbon monoxide poisoning, including firefighters and miners. It has also been approved for more than a dozen conditions ranging from burns to bone disease, including: Carbon monoxide poisoning Cyanide poisoning Crush injuries Gas gangrene (a form of gangrene in which gas collects in tissues) Decompression sickness Acute or traumatic reduced blood flow in the arteries Compromised skin grafts and flaps Infection in a bone (osteomyelitis) that doesn't respond to other treatment Delayed radiation injury Flesh-eating disease (necrotizing soft tissue infection) Air or gas bubble trapped in a blood vessel (air or gas embolism) Chronic infection called actinomycosis Diabetic wounds that are not healing properly Medicare, Medicaid, and many insurance companies generally cover hyperbaric oxygen therapy for these conditions, but may not do so in every case. Check with your insurance plan to see if it is covered and if you need pre-authorization before treatment. Be aware that HBOT is not considered safe and effective for treating certain conditions. These include: HIV/AIDs, brain injury, heart disease, stroke, asthma, depression, spinal cord injury, and sports injuries. How does HBOT work? HBOT helps wound healing by bringing oxygen-rich plasma to tissue starved for oxygen. Wound injuries damage the body's blood vessels, which release fluid that leaks into the tissues and causes swelling. This swelling deprives the damaged cells of oxygen, and tissue starts to die. HBOT reduces swelling while flooding the tissues with oxygen. The higher pressure in the chamber increases the amount of oxygen in the blood. HBOT aims to break the cycle of swelling, oxygen starvation, and tissue death. What happens during HBOT Only a healthcare provider should prescribe HBOT. A number of hospitals offer these chambers. People relax, sit, or lie comfortably in these chambers and take deep breaths. Sessions can last from 45 minutes up to 300 minutes, depending on the reason for the treatment. Your ears may feel plugged as the pressure is raised, like when you're in an airplane or the mountains. Swallowing or chewing gum will "pop" the ears back to Precautions Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not for everyone. It shouldn't be used by people who have had a recent ear surgery or injury, a cold or fever, or certain types of lung disease. |

Whyzaid: Please take her to a good dental clinic around you as soon as you can. Meanwhile, please rinse her mouth with warm water and salt (about half a level teaspoon in about 150mls of warm water). So she doesn't swallow too much salt, place her mouth over a plastic bowl so as your are flushing the water runs out of her mouth into the bowl. You can buy many 10mls syringes. Remove the needle and use the syringe to flush her mouth copiously about 6 times a day for a week. Pls also give her 2.5mls of vitamin c thrice daily for a week. |
Health / Re: How Can I Whiten My Teeth Nairalanders,? by Sewasaunt(f): 10:24am On Apr 23, 2023 |
kiddkash: Firstly, normal healthy adult teeth can vary in colour from white to off white to cream or yellow. Baby/children teeth are whiter. It is nature, that is how it should be and the emphasis should be on clean, healthy teeth and not colour like most of us tend to believe. Now, the teeth can also be stained yellow or dark brown or similar colour especially due to poor oral hygiene and diet (tomato paste, coke, Fanta, coffee, HERBS!) In such instances, Dentists or Dental hygienists can clean your teeth to make them whiter and brighter with an ultrasonic scaler; this procedure is painless (though there may be sensitivity in some people) and not too time consuming. Price ranges from 6,000 to 20,000 or more depending on the centre. You can also have bleaching done though I don't really advice this unless it is very necessary. The effect of bleaching isn't permanent for life as the teeth will still get discoloured but one can always repeat the bleaching process (though not very often). |
Health / Re: How Much Does Dental Crown Cost In Nigeria? by Sewasaunt(f): 10:15am On Apr 23, 2023 |
Krppkyy: Gold is not that strong and it is mostly for Anterior teeth or aesthetics. Gold crowns will cost between 80,000-120,000 or more depending on the centre. Setting up labs that can fabricate Emax and zirconia crowns are expensive and this is Nigeria. Ordinary soap and cotton wool is a big issue in many government hospitals. Porcelain (though aesthetically pleasing and can appear very similar to natural teeth) is fragile and on its own isn't very good for Molars because of chewing force, that's why the zirconia and Emax as well as other forms of materials are being researched into, used and developed. 1 Like |

kiddkash: It won't work, I can assure you. Add some more to the money and visit a good dental clinic. Most of those brand names toothpastes are just ripping people off. They don't even contain fluoride and don't protect the teeth from decay. |
Health / Re: How Much Does Dental Crown Cost In Nigeria? by Sewasaunt(f): 7:33am On Apr 22, 2023 |
Krppkyy: Thank you very much (really). A lower molar root canal can be anything from 35,000 total package (Government Hospital) to as much as 150,000 (private clinics). Rcts are technique sensitive and time consuming hence the cost. So please make sure you are choosing a good centre and politely share your concerns with your Dentist. The 80,000 crown is a porcelain fused to metal crown. There are more aesthetically pleasing crowns now like the Emax and Zirconia crowns that are also durable but they will cost at least 120,000-300,000 and mostly in Private centres, I don't know of any Government Hospital that does them for now, not sure about Luth though.

Smartdoctor: You guys just type anything and feel you know it all. Professional scaling and polishing done in a dental clinic is with an ultrasonic scaler which uses the energy from sound to dislodge calcified or hard 'dirts and stains' from the surface of the teeth. It can't/ does not cause demineralization, I.e you don't lose calcium or any mineral from the teeth and it doesn't affect your diet and you can chew well after. It helps to keep the teeth and gums clean and healthy and helps with mouth odour too. Also contrary to many posts here, it is quite affordable and can be from 5,200 to 10,000 and above depending on the environment. Nigerians always seem to have money for enjoyment and everything except their health It is also very beneficial and almost everyone should be encouraged to clean their teeth regularly (the ideal thing is every 6 months) Hard bristled toothbrushes and charcoal or charcoal based toothpastes are also too abrasive and can wear teeth down with long term or repeated use. Many home bleaching kits as sold online or in beauty parlours and pharmacies are also actually dangerous and their whitening effect is never permanent, especially due to the nature of our diet in Nigeria (we take a lot of coloured foods). Hence with time, the teeth will get darker. White teeth shouldn't be the goal, clean and healthy teeth is the goal. Most overly White teeth you see online e.g Davido is not whitening. White coloured Veneers were made and cemented onto the teeth surface to give that bright white colour, no teeth bleaching agent will give you such. I am sure if more people knew about scaling and polishing, they would embrace it and we will have healthier, cleaner and bad-odour-free mouths 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Pls when you saw a Dentist, what was the conclusion or what do you mean by no serious solution ? Please go to a good dental clinic around you, let the teeth be examined, those that can be filled should be filled while those that can't be saved can be extracted or you can have a root canal done. Any procedure you opt for will be pain-free if done well. You need to take care of your teeth; regular dental checks, prompt treatment of dental issues, brushing adequately and appropriately with a fluoridated toothpaste and reducing sugary foods and drinks.

Health / Re: Artificial Teeth by Sewasaunt(f): 9:21am On Nov 11, 2022 |
What you need is a DENTURE and it is less than 10,000 in Government hospitals in Lagos, e.g Lasuth is 6,500 as at today November 11,2022. Your mouth will be measured, the colour of your teeth will be selected, and you will go back for it after some days. DENTURES are removable, you can eat with it and it is easy to clean and use but it is breakable and not convenient for some people because it covers part of the gums. I have attached a picture in case you have not seen one before. There are some other options, these are way more expensive but you can save towards it and consider it with time. 1. A BRIDGE which won't cover the gums, just the teeth beside the missing one 2. AN IMPLANT, which is inserted into the bone of the missing tooth 1 Like

There are many schools of thought and researches on this.

Godmother: Concerning the pain, you can't use anything more than paracetamol, please just try to work with your doctor. I have had pain while being pregnant and it was one of the worst moments of my life, (I visited 4 different hospitals, was admitted on different occasions and felt so useless and alone despite having my husband, mum and sisters with me) and I really can't imagine you going through it and still looking for how to make your husband understand. Please ma, advocate for yourself, your health comes first, don't let anyone add his wahala to your condition. I felt very bad reading your post, I pray God touches your husband, you are in a very fragile moment now and you need him more than ever. Please try to rest as much as you can, if you have other kids, try to make convenient plans for them. I always tell people that each human being is inherently selfish and will mostly do what pleases them, if roles were reversed and your husband was the one in pain, do you think he will be saying the same thing? Go to the hospitals, many women are on their own or being cared for by siblings and friends while men will be surrounded by their wives, sisters or mum. You can ask him to read about pain in pregnancy and other complications online and i hope it makes a difference. Best wishes Mama, You've got this. It will be well 16 Likes |
