Why do I have an extra tooth affecting my posture and palate growth at 16?

Patient's Query

There is an extra tooth(?) next to the upper left molar at the very back, its position is coming out (left)(I don't know whether it is separate from the molar or is part of the molar, but basically the shape is different). I can say that it is not normal because the right side does not have this- Additionally, the shape of the teeth does not conform to standard anatomy because of the growths I mentioned. As for how it bothers me, it makes using correct posture difficult, and also hinders the growth of my palate, it feels stuck. This additional teeth also push the molars inward. I am 16 and have had yhis for years, not sure since when

Answered by Dr. Vrishti Bansal

It’s unlikely, but you may have inherited a condition called "supernumerary teeth," meaning extra teeth. This can be due to genetics and may affect your bite or tooth alignment. An X-ray is the first step, and if necessary, a dentist might remove the extra tooth to prevent misalignment or other issues.

I ate 150 g of date pollen within a week. Now I notice that my gums in my upper jaw are receding. It looks like periodontal disease

Weiblich | 26

Gum recession can occur for several reasons, including poor oral hygiene, aggressive brushing, or hormonal changes. It's essential to maintain a consistent dental care routine, including brushing gently and flossing daily. Additionally, regular visits to a dentist are crucial for early detection and management of any underlying issues, such as periodontal disease. While dietary changes can impact oral health, they are just one factor. I encourage you to schedule an appointment with your dental professional to assess your situation and receive personalized recommendations tailored to your needs.

My daughter is 6 years old, her teeth (back teeth Upper & lower both)are decaying due to cavity. So Please suggest whether these teeth have to be removed and root canal or there may be any other treatment as her teeth are yet fist teeth. Regards Manoj Kumar

Female | 6

Baby teeth decay is common yet still require a physician’s opinion. In case the decay is bad and it is affecting the back teeth, it is wiser to see a dentist. The dentist may recommend treatments that include fillings, crowns, or in some cases, extracting the teeth. Early treatment is the priority here, if not, it may lead to the development of painful and infectious issues.

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.

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.

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.

I understand you're experiencing significant discomfort from an earache and gum issue, which may be related to dental problems or ear infections. Over-the-counter medications and heat application can be helpful, but if pain persists and affects your sleep, it's crucial to seek medical attention. A dentist can provide a proper evaluation to determine the underlying cause and suggest effective treatments, such as antibiotics or specific pain relief strategies. Your comfort is important, and addressing these symptoms early can lead to better outcomes.

Pericoronitis can indeed cause discomfort, as it often arises from inflammation around a partially erupted tooth. Swelling in your tongue, face, and throat, along with pain and vomiting, suggests a need for evaluation. Burning in the throat may be related to irritation or infection. It's advisable not to wait 20 days for a consultation. Prompt medical attention can help prevent complications and provide relief through appropriate treatment. Please consider visiting a dentist as soon as possible for personalized care and support.

Mouth ulcer Painfull Discomfort in eating

Male | 21

Mouth sores can be quite uncomfortable, often leading to pain during meals and daily activities. These ulcers may arise from stress, certain foods, or deficiencies in vitamins like B12 and folate. To alleviate discomfort, consider rinsing with warm saltwater and avoiding spicy or acidic foods. Over-the-counter topical medications may help soothe irritation. Maintaining hydration and a balanced diet is also beneficial. If your symptoms persist for more than a week or worsen, I recommend consulting a dentist for further evaluation and personalized treatment options.

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.
