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.

Male | 27
1- HPV, a virus, has the potential to cause oral cancer after many years, even 10-20 sometimes. Regular check-ups are crucial for early detection of issues. 2- If your body fails to recognize HPV virus, infections capable of developing into warts or cancer can occur. Symptoms like warts, abnormal cells, or mouth tissue changes may manifest. Consult a dentist or oral specialist for examinations and treatment promptly.

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.

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.

She had mouth ulcer and pain
Female | Fathima faiza
Mouth ulcers are a common condition that often impairs one’s oral health. Mouth ulcers are the most painful lesions inside the mouth, and they cause a person a lot of pain when eating or speaking. Drinking a lot of water, avoiding spicy or acidic foods, and considering over-the-counter drugs are the best ways to relieve the condition. A balanced diet that contains B12, iron, and folic acid is required for distributed growth and efficiency of nerve and red blood cells. If symptoms persist for more than two weeks or unravel further, you should visit the dentist for further diagnosis and treatment.

I applied lignocaine gel on the back throat, later I was given toxin powder, after that my mouth lost its sensation, after that I consulted the doctor, the doctor said that there is no toxicity in it, apply it again, the sensation will come back; later I had a lot of problem, skin presthesia or tongue presthesia is a lot of problem, I feel that nicotine etc. do not work, hair is falling, eyes are seeing blurred, there is a lot of problem.
Male | 25
Temporary numbness can occur with topical anesthetics, but persistent tingling or loss of sensation might require further evaluation. While these sensations can be distressing, they often resolve over time. Stress and anxiety can also contribute to feelings of discomfort and even hair loss. I recommend consulting your healthcare provider again to discuss these symptoms in detail and explore appropriate treatments. Prioritize your well-being, and don’t hesitate to seek support for relief and reassurance.

Tongue pain results from infections, injuries, or certain foods. To ease the discomfort, avoid spicy or acidic foods. Drink plenty of water. Gently rinse your mouth with salt water to soothe the area. If the pain persists, consult a dentist.

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.
