Managing Discomfort After Dental Extraction: Tips & Tricks
How to manage discomfort during the healing process after dental extraction?
Dentist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Cold compresses are an effective way to deal with the discomfort that comes along with healing after a dental extraction. Apply a cold compress to the affected area for 10-20 minutes every hour for the first 24-48 hours. Next, put a warm compress in place. Make an effort to stay away from any solid food and use hot beverages, instead, on the first days go for softer foods and cold drinks. If the pain doesn’t go away or gets worse, do not hesitate and visit your dentist or oral surgeon immediately.

Sir I drink accedently chlorhexidine mouthwash little bit what should I do now please help me
Male | 20
Drinking mouthwash by accident brings concern. Chlorhexidine is strong; it may cause stomach pain, nausea, and dizziness. These effects could go away alone. Drink lots of water to dilute mouthwash. But if unwell or your issues continue, seek medical care.

Frenulum tear pain and irritation ............
Male | 28
A broken frenulum occurs when the gentle piece of fabric fastening your tongue or in another part of your body gets pulled or torn apart. You may experience pain or irritation, primarily when moving or moving your tongue or doing activities that affect that area. Occasionally, it may bleed slightly. Don't irritate it further to help it heal and clear it with salty water.

Why there is a bad odor from my mouth
Male | 18
Halitosis, the unpleasant odor from your mouth, can stem from various causes. Poor dental hygiene habits, allowing bacterial growth and plaque accumulation, often lead to this condition. Oral issues like gum disease or dry mouth contribute too. Smoking cigarettes, consuming odorous foods like garlic, can also result in foul breath. To combat bad breath, practice thorough brushing, flossing daily, using antimicrobial mouthwash regularly. Stay hydrated by drinking ample water. Seek professional dental cleanings periodically for optimal oral health.

I have operated my teeth from a orthodontist at the age of 14 .I had crooked teeth . After investing my 1 year my teeth were aligned. I had braces these year. Now at the age of 24 I can see my teeth are aligning back to their original spaces they are getting crooked again. I want to know about what to do next.
Female | 24
It sounds like your teeth are going back to their original positions again. This is possible to happen in the case that you do not use your retainers according to the plan of your orthodontist. The deletion of the braces, and retainers are useful for keeping teeth in their new position. They are the ones responsible for the extraction of teeth which in turn migrate back. The first and the most important step to stop it would be to rank shifting to acutely wearing the retainer again. Be relaxed, talk to your orthodontist, and ask for instructions.

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

Hello, I’m enquiring about jaw/chin surgery - I had my jaw broken about 10 years ago in an assault and am very unhappy with the asymmetries in my face.
Female | 31
It is recommended that you consult with a maxillofacial surgeon to address any concerns related to jaw/chin surgery. Given your history of a past injury, it is important to thoroughly evaluate any anatomical changes to ensure that the desired outcome can be achieved. In order to determine the best course of action, a thorough consultation with a maxillofacial surgeon is recommended.
