Gum infections in children can manifest as swelling, redness, pain, or bleeding in the gums. They often result from bacteria, poor oral hygiene, or dental issues. If current medications aren't helping, it’s important to seek advice from a pediatric dentist. They can offer a thorough examination and determine the best course of action, which may include professional cleaning or alternative treatments. Maintaining good oral hygiene by encouraging regular brushing and avoiding sugary snacks can also be beneficial.

I have chronic pressure and pain on the right side of my jaw. what could be the problem
Male | 30
You might be talking about temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). Such a scenario can occur when the joint that attaches your jawbone to the skull gets stressed out. Among the symptoms are pain, pressure, and trouble opening your mouth. Teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or arthritis are the causes. To help, start with ice packs, keep a soft diet, exercise your jaw, and take care of the stress you experience.

I am getting pain on my tooth one side only I don't why it's happening
Female | 30
Experiencing tooth pain on one side could be due to reasons like tooth decay, gum disease, teeth grinding, dental infections, sinus issues, tooth fractures, recent dental work, or nerve sensitivity. Consult a dentist who can diagnose your condition accurately.

Hi..doc..i have this white and sour taste toungue for few months..scrap it off the next day it cones back..is it due to smoking and alcohol user..or could it be too much consume caffeine..or is it GERD..pls help
Male | 52
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 dental is very painful and cavities problem,this problem what is solution?
Female | 36
Your condition may have resulted in dental caries, which in turn causes intense dental pain. Dental caries are the product of the bacteria in the mouth that make holes in the teeth. This can happen if you consume sugary substances excessively. You can mainly do this by brushing your teeth regularly twice a day and also regularly visiting the dentist as advised. The dentist can effectively treat dental caries using a filling to make your teeth strong.

Infection in teeth which is causing pain
Male | 14
It looks like you may have a tooth infection. This could be why you’re in pain. Bacteria can cause tooth infections when they enter a cavity or crack in the tooth. If the gum is swollen too, it might mean that there is an infection. The dentist will have to clean out your tooth to get rid of this problem and may also give you some antibiotics.

Male | 28
You may have a gum abscess, a “pocket” filled with yellow or white-colored fluid beneath the gums. Poor dental hygiene, periodontal disease, and bacterial infection can cause this condition. Its symptoms include pain, swelling, redness, and general discomfort. To relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation, you can rinse your mouth with warm salty water and see a dentist immediately.

Medicine for tooth infection
Female | 26
In the event of a tooth infection, quick medical care is mandatory, since it is apt to have a high level of pain. A dentist is the one who should visit when she/he has a toothache. The most frequently encountered treatment for this kind of infection is an antibiotic and OTC pain relievers are given for pain relieving.

How long does the dental care take?
Female | 55
The duration in dental care can vary according to the therapy required. Routine checks and cleanings tend to last around thirty minutes to one hour. But root canals and dental implants more complex procedures could mean more visits spanning over a couple of weeks. It is advisable that you visit the dentist for a better diagnosis and treatment plan.

I am 39 urs old. I have root canal tomorrow. I am asked to take 2 tablets one is betmax 509 and another is metrogyl er . I could see both are antibiotics. So I have a doubt that is it required to take 2 antibiotics?
Female | 39
It’s common if you’re confused about taking two antibiotics before a root canal. Betmax 509 and Metrogyl ER are antibiotics that fight against infection. To ensure all the infection is gone, your dentist might have prescribed them both. Take both of them as directed which will help you not to get any complications after the process. Follow what your dentist told you and in case of any questions ask him or her.

These sores can be caused by an infection, allergy, or something that irritates your mouth and throat. It is crucial to avoid spicy or acidic foods that can exacerbate the sores. Water drinking sufficiently and rinsing the mouth might help ease the discomfort. If the sores are still there, it's better to see a dentist for more tests.

I have lost a small part of my molar teeth from its roots then I want to know it's best treatment
Male | 18
When the root of your molar teeth comes out, it can lead to the sensitivity of hot and cold food, difficulty in chewing, and sometimes, even pain in that region, when it happens. The most common culprit is usually tooth decay or some trauma. The most effective way to deal with this is by going to a dentist who can suggest treatments like filling, crown, or even root canal to save the tooth and avoid further problems.

Two days ago, I underwent dental surgery and had sutures in my gums as a result. Normal food wasn't an option. Everything I eat makes me feel nauseous, and I'm becoming weaker all the time. Also, a loss of appetite. Is there anything I may take in the form of supplements? Is there a particular one, that you'd want to proscribe.

I have a question about my teeth. I found a small, stone or teeth like structure on the left side of my teeth at the end without any pain, redness, or swelling. There's also a black line on one tooth that doesn't appear to be a cavity and doesn't hurt or is sensitive. Can you help me understand these issues, I have attached the pictures.
Female | 18
The stone-like thing in the pictures you sent looks like a small tooth deposit. The black line could be stained or cracked. Tooth deposits can form from leftover plaque. Stains might come from food or drink. It is good you have no pain, red, or swell - that is a nice sign. To fix this, make sure to brush and floss a lot. Also, see your dentist for a check and clean. They can take care of these things for you.
