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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
