You're dealing with a small issue in your mouth called a "cheek bite ulcer." This happens when you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek while chewing. The sore can be painful and may make chewing difficult. To ease the discomfort, you can use over-the-counter pain relief gels or creams made for mouth sores, which help numb the pain and protect the sore while it heals. It's also a good idea to avoid spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the sore further. Drinking cool liquids and eating soft foods will give your cheek a break, helping it heal faster. These sores usually go away on their own within a week or two, but if the pain worsens or doesn't improve, it's a good idea to consult a dentist.

I am feel pain under my tounge
Male | 16
If there is a small lump or sore beneath the tongue, it might be a canker sore or clogged salivary gland. You can get these if you accidentally bite your tongue or eat something hard. To lessen the pain, try rinsing with warm salty water and avoid hot, spicy, or acidic food. If it persists beyond one week or worsens anytime before then, it’d be wise to seek advice from a dentist.

Hi there, after I finish eating my breakfast; I usually go and brush my teeth. For the past 2 weeks whenever I finished brushing my teeth and gargle my mouth 3 times; it's making me gag. I am unsure as to why. Sometimes I even end up vomiting though only a light throw up. I am unsure if it's the tap water.
Male | 28
You've been undergoing a nasty consequence when gargling the oral solution after brushing your teeth. The gagging and vomiting could be caused either by the taste or texture of the tap water or even the toothpaste you're using. First, try switching to a gentler toothpaste and if still not effective, rinse your mouth with bottled water. If the problem is still there, it's better to consult your dentist.

Mouth ulcers can sometimes be a side effect of medications like aceclofenac and paracetamol. For relief, your father can try rinsing his mouth with salt water and avoid spicy or acidic foods.

Hi, I was born in 2003. I am experiencing problems with my jaw. It started hurt gradually, whenever I would brush my teeth it would make cracking noise, in 2022 it started to become serious, it hurt for 3 months, I couldn't open my mouth wide, it would hurt when I would eat and chew. It stopped for a month and it started again, now whenever I yawn, eat or brush my teeth l hear a cracking noise.
Female | 20
You may have temporomandibular joint disorder or TMJ. Jaw pain, clicking noises when moving your jaw, trouble opening your mouth wide - these are signs. Causes include grinding teeth, stress, and misaligned jaw. Eating soft foods can help. Using warm compresses too. Relaxation methods, like deep breathing. If pain continues, see a dentist or oral surgeon.t.

Frequent mouth ulcers and burning sensations in your legs and feet can be concerning.

I am having a severe tooth ache. I had an accident October 2022 and I broke some of my teeth of which I did composite build up that time. since that time I have always been having pains per time which I will buy paracetamol and the pains will be relieved. but since on Saturday, I have been taking paracetamol with pain relief and the pain still persist
Male | 24
It sounds like you have been experiencing persistent tooth pain since the accident. The composite build-up may not be holding up well, leading to nerve irritation causing the pain. It is essential to visit a dentist to assess the condition of the teeth and the composite build-up. In the meantime, avoid chewing on that side and stick to soft foods. Apply a cold compress on the outside of the cheek to help relieve pain temporarily.

Can tooth decay be reversed?
Female | 39
The short answer is “no” but the long answer is “sort of.” Here’s why:
The earliest stage of tooth decay or a cavity is demineralized enamel. The outer layer of enamel becomes weak and soft, due to acids and plaque biofilm coming into contact with it on an extended basis.
Fortunately, demineralized enamel can — to an extent — be remineralized before a physical cavity (hole) ruptures through the surface.
What are some ways to help this happen?
- Improved hygiene and plaque removal on an everyday basis
- Protective dental sealants over deep grooves and fissures, which are someof the most cavity-prone surfaces
- Drinking fluoridated tap water throughout the day
- Supplementation with a prescription strength fluoride or mouthrinse, providedby your dentist
- Use of everyday oral hygiene products that contain fluoride
- Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, sharp cheddar cheese, and fewerprocessed carbohydrates
- Eliminating acidic beverages and those that contain natural or artificial-sweeteners
The types of cells that make up your teeth do not re-grow or repair themselves after the tooth is fully developed.
Once a tooth has a physical cavity (opening or hole) inside of it, there is no feasible way to help the enamel grow back on your own. Instead, the cavity will gradually worsen, due to the bacterial infection inside of the tooth structure.
Ideally, you would want to treat the cavity as soon as it’s diagnosed and while it’s as small as possible. When you do, your dentist can place a minimally invasive filling and preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
But untreated cavities will expand to the point that they require larger fillings. Or worse, they will reach into the nerve chamber and create an abscess. What could have initially been treated with a modest restoration now becomes a situation requiring a root canal and a crown
