Asked for Female, 46
I had done a dental crown on my upper jawline. 2 years back, it has removed on its own. I thought it wouldn't be a problem and ignored the matter. Yesterday I visited my dentist and he said without a crown, the decay spread to my gum and surgery is the only option. But I am really scared. Is there any other option except surgery? Is there any risk if I go for surgery?
Answered on 23rd May '24
yes it happens but surgery will not be a major one It will be a minor one and not much complications. Also depends on which teeth it will be done and x ray is a must.

Hi can braces help me to align my teeth? Or are there other options too? See I am a college girl. My teeth are not properly set. I wanted to fix it. But also I have seen one of my cousins had to wear the braces for quite a long time and it is very difficult sometimes to eat. So is there any other way to align the teeth? To whom should I consult? I am from Silivri.
Answered on 23rd May '24
yes braces can align your teeth. You have to consult an orthodontist. other ways of alignment of teeth are Invisalign or aligners and ceramic braces. if your teeth correction are moderate then aligners can help but if too much complex then only option is braces. You can go for self ligation braces which is much more comfortable

Hi my father has a severe problem of aphthous ulcer. It first happened in 2016. The condition was so bad that we had to admit him to the hospital. After that he was fine. But in last 6 months it repeated two times. We were aware of the condition so he got the treatment early. But my question is why it is happening again and again? We visited a doctor at Bayrampasa but were not satisfied. Can you suggest a good doctor in Istanbul who handles this type of patient earlier?
Answered on 23rd May '24
Apthous ulcer is mainly due to stress ;constipation and vitamin b complex deficiency. The following problems should be addressed and by its treatment. Vitamin n b complex Syrup 15 ml minimum for a period of one month one time daily. Mucopain gel thrice daily before having on ulcer site or as prescribed by Dentist.
