Last month january i got cavity infection with swollen face jaw and lymph node..... i got extracted my teeth but lymph node swollen is still there

Female | 28

In most cases, lymph nodes might swell after the tooth extraction, maybe if there is an infection present. But you will have to go to the doctor if the swelling lasts longer than a few days. I suggest you consult a maxillofacial surgeon for a detailed investigation and treatment of your swollen lymph node.

I am 43 years old and I have toothache for past one month. While drinking water getting sensitive. Can you share how to cure this toothache

Male | 43

A toothache can occur when your tooth has a problem. The sensitivity or pain you feel when drinking water may be a cavity or dental caries. This can bring discomfort and at the same time make your tooth sensitive to extreme-temperature liquids. Advising patients to visit a dentist as soon as possible is beneficial to help manage toothache. They can investigate the tooth and give proper solutions which might involve filling the cavity or other pain relief procedures to improve the situation.

Tooth Cavity and now blood from gum is coming out , what should be the solution?

Male | 20

If a tooth is decayed, it is the result of a hole in the tooth formed by bacteria. This can cause the gums to bleed. Look out for signs such as discomfort, sensitivity, and bad breath. If you see blood from your gums, make sure to brush gently twice a day, use mouthwash, and see your dentist to treat the cavity before it gets worse.

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?

Female | 46

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.

38 year old MALE, I am. Facing unhealthy tongue since last 6month. Purple patches on tongue, whitish layer also in morning. A slight overgrowth observed at right end edge. No medicine working, no relief from last 6 month.

Male | 38

Oral lichen planus might often show up as purple and white spots on the surface of the tongue that may or may not include a covering. It might not be infectious, however, it might be very annoying. Due to immune system dysfunction or stress can be a contributing circumstance. Eliminate spicy foods or abrasive brushing to relieve the suffering. Gargling with the help of salt can also be a relief. If you do not experience any alleviation, consult a dentist for a proper check-up and cure.

Teeth If the person in front of you gets a toothache then in what ways can you fix it?

Female | 20

Toothache can be caused by a variety of problems; these could be cavities, gum disease or infections. Symptoms usually consist of acute pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, and swelling. The easiest option to alleviate pain is to have good oral hygiene, which includes daily brushing and flossing. Rinsing with salt water may also help the patient to get the desired effect. Use of the pain relievers available over the counter can be one way of taming the discomfort. You can seek appropriate medical advice from dentist.

why did a blister appear and a fat lip when i bit my lip?

Female | 21

As a result of the tissue injury when you bite your lip, blisters can develop. Besides, the region might even swell up to develop a fat lip. If after several days, the blister or swelling does not subside, and you have sustained consistent pain then it is advisable to see a dental specialist for diagnosis and treatment.

My problem is mouth ulcer is coming every 15 days and leg and leg feet burning sensation pain

Male | 20

These are because of stress caused by being in the company of others and not keeping our teeth clean or not having enough of some vitamins. Pain that makes it feel as if one’s leg is on fire may result from damage to the nerves through which such messages pass or an interruption in normal blood flow which provides oxygen and nutrients to affected areas. Soften up while brushing your teeth but don’t eat anything spicy when you have ulcers. If they’re still painful after two weeks then see a dentist.
