I understand that you may be dealing with a condition known as oral thrush. This could be a result of smoking or heavy drinking, too much caffeine, or even GERD. Common signs and symptoms include having a white coat on your tongue that tastes sour which always returns despite brushing. To mitigate this problem one should cut down on cigarettes, alcohol intake and caffeine consumption. It's best to see a dentist or an ENT specialist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

My teeth is not in shape I want to add bracel what I do
Male | 18
It can be a hard time for one to have teeth that are not in shape. However, braces are a good treatment for this problem. Crooked teeth may be a cause of issues while eating and brushing. Braces are like small assistants who help move your teeth into a more appropriate position.

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.

Iam having throat pain and earache and found some black patches in my gums
Female | 19
You might be dealing with a throat and gum infection, especially considering the symptoms. The black patches on your gums could indeed indicate gum disease, which often stems from bacterial or viral infections. To alleviate your discomfort, you can try gargling with warm saline water, staying hydrated, and consulting a dentist for their assessment of the black patches on your gums.

I have bruising around the base of my neck in the front that does not hurt, but is not going away. It showed up roughly 4 days after my wisdom tooth extraction but has not went away for over 4 weeks now.
Male | 18
Bruising around neck common after wisdom tooth extraction . Usually harmless.. But if it persists seek medical attention.... Could indicate more serious injury.

I am a 49 year old woman and have 2 crowns and 2 veneers for my four front teeth. The two front teeth are veneers and the two incisors are crowns. My two front teeth are old luminaire veneers and I want them replaced but I was told that I would have to replace all four teeth to get the best results. I would like to get the 2 front replaced with crowns and I would like to know the cost. I am visiting Istanbul in August and hoping to do the procedure then

Swelling in one gum. And a very little bit of pain very little. Swelling is around from 14 hours.
Male | 21
SWELLING in one gum with slight pain could indicate: - Canker sore - Gum infection - Abscess - Gum disease. Consult a dentist immediately to avoid complications.

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.

How to get rid of an abscess without going to the dentist
Female | 34
An abscess is annoying. You'll likely notice mouth pain, redness, and swelling. It occurs when bacteria enters a tooth. To help yourself, rinse repeatedly with warm salt water daily. This can ease the area, and reduce infection somewhat. However, seeing a dentist promptly remains crucial.

My teeth are yellow and hole in the front teeth its not cavity
Female | 18
You are likely suffering from a condition called enamel erosion. Enamel is the tough outer layer of your teeth that can wear away because of acidic foods, drinks, or brushing too hard. One symptom is yellowing and the holes forming in your teeth. To control further degradation, you can use a soft-bristled brush and reduce the consumption of sugary and acidic foods. You can speak to a dentist for further guidance.

Wisdom Tooth Pain in last Saturday
Male | 28
Wisdom tooth pain is common and can be quite irritating. This pain usually occurs when the tooth is trying to come through, causing swelling of the gums, difficulty opening your mouth, and sometimes a bad taste. To ease the pain, try rinsing with warm salt water and gently flossing around the area. If the pain continues, it's best to consult your dentist.

Teeth pain very fast what can I do please advise me
Male | 14
Tooth pain can strike quickly. It could mean cavities, diseased gums, or a cracked tooth. Did you grind your teeth at night? That also causes discomfort. Rinse with warm salt water. Stay away from hot or cold foods. Brush and floss carefully. If pain lingers, see a dentist right away. They'll check it out and treat the problem.

I'm 22 yrs old female and I've had this brown spot under my tongue, and now i see similar spots over the side of my tongue. I'm confused as to what they're. And recently I've been to dentists too, for tooth extraction and filling. But none of them suggested anything. Like if those spots were danger to me or not. I've been an active smoker and recently am trying to quit it. I'd really like to know if those brown spots are dangerous for me.
