swollen cheek 3 weeks after wisdom teeth removal
my 26 year old sister got her wisdom teeth out three weeks ago. Now, her cheek is swollen. Is that normal after wisdom teeth removal? Should we be worried?

It is normal for swelling to occur after wisdom teeth removal. This is a part of the healing. But if the swelling is severe, your sister should see her dentist or an oral surgeon for a review.

Dental query Tooth ache and headache
Male | 42
Headache is sometimes a result of a toothache. If you feel pain in your tooth, it might cause a headache in your head. Perhaps both are caused by a cavity or infection in your tooth. To treat this, you have to go to your dentist. They will take a look at your teeth and give a solution for your situation.

I have been grinding my teeth so much lately and it keeps getting worse. It leaves me with so much pain. I have already take the medication last year, and its been one month since i ate it again. But it still does not work. Please help me

You might have bruxism, which is teeth grinding. It can cause pain in your jaw, head, and teeth. It’s often due to stress, anxiety, or an improper bite. To find relief use warm compresses, and wear a night mouthguard. Also, manage stress and see a dentist.

In my opinion the advice given by your doctor isn't wrong and opinion from multiple doctors can lead to confusion or chaos, but if you see deterioration in your state then you can reach out again.

The chances are you have a cavity. A cavity is when the germs in our mouth are eating sugars and making holes in the teeth. Infection can be the reason for the swollen gums that are next to the tooth. For this: brush your teeth properly, avoid sugary snacks, and visit a dentist for treatment.

I am having wisdom teeth 25%out side and the rest 75% is jawline bone ..it gets swelling ...I consulted a doctor near my area he hold me like that it's necessary to remove that teeth becoz it's gets effected through throat
Female | 24
Your wisdom tooth is giving you some discomfort. Sideways growing wisdom teeth can cause problems like inflammation, pain, and chewing challenges. Sometimes it has progressed even infecting your tonsils. Opting for extraction is often the most effective way to solve the problem. Visit a dentist to get it extracted.

What happens to the abscess after tooth extraction
Socket will heal slowly within 21 days and pus will be reduced so as pain. If you are in pain after tooth extraction, you can take a painkiller prescribed by your Dentist

I have toothache due to cavity and I feel like that gum is also swelling so can you suggest medicine for this problem.
Male | 29
The tooth starts to ache which suggests that you may have a cavity. If you do not take care of it properly, it may go on to the neighboring teeth, thus causing the recurrence of the problem. This happens because the bacteria are attacking the affected tooth and the gum. The main thing you need to do is to avoid sweets to cut off the bacteria that are contributing to the problem. In particular, ibuprofen, an over-the-counter medicine, and sometimes a prescription, are all good options.

I have a wisdom tooth coming up , my whole teeth hurts , I have pains , what should I do
Female | 28
Your wisdom tooth seems to be causing you some problems. When a wisdom tooth tries to come through but does not have enough space to do so, it can be painful. The pain might also affect your other teeth nearby. Try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water - this can help to reduce the pain and swelling. You may want to take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen too. If the pain does not go away or gets worse, then it is best if you see a dentist as soon as possible.

I a 18 year old female and I want to have braces in my tooth ... I have improper tooth I want to straight them
Female | 18
Malpositioned teeth can lead to problems such as difficulty in chewing and talking. It is the result of genetic factors or the acquisition of certain habits like sucking thumb. Braces are a well-known method for fixing such problems. They slowly shift your teeth to the desired position. Do not be afraid, as many teenagers your age wear braces, and is completely normal. But, you can visit an orthodontist to learn more about it.

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

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.

I would advise you to visit a dentist as soon as possible for an examination and treatment options. Cavities can lead to further complications if left untreated, such as tooth decay and infection.

Hi there, after I finish eating my breakfast; I usually go and brush my teeth. For the past 2 weeks whenever I finished brushing my teeth and gargle my mouth 3 times; it's making me gag. I am unsure as to why. Sometimes I even end up vomiting though only a light throw up. I am unsure if it's the tap water.
Male | 28
You've been undergoing a nasty consequence when gargling the oral solution after brushing your teeth. The gagging and vomiting could be caused either by the taste or texture of the tap water or even the toothpaste you're using. First, try switching to a gentler toothpaste and if still not effective, rinse your mouth with bottled water. If the problem is still there, it's better to consult your dentist.

Mera naam Abhi hai mai 2 saal se gutka khata hu aur ab mai kuch bhi teekha nahi kha pata kyuki mere galfade chhil gye hai andar se isliye khana bhi nahi khaya jata iska kya ilaj hai?
Male | 19
Mucositis is when the inside of your mouth (oral mucosa) peels off and makes it hard for you to eat spicy things or anything sharp. To fix this, the number one thing is to stop using gutka. Drinking lots of water and using mouth rinses may also help. However, you should make sure to go to the dentist so they can check it out further and give you some solution for it so that it doesn’t turn into anything worse.
