Answered on 9th July '24
The optimal age to begin orthodontic treatment is typically 7 to 9 years old. This is because at this time children have a combination of adult and baby teeth, making it easier to fix problems like crowding or an improper bite. Early intervention can prevent more severe issues as they get older. If your child has irregular teeth, difficulty biting or chewing food, or breathes through their mouth regularly, then seeing an orthodontist for assessment would be wise.

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.

I am 43 years old and I have toothache for past one month. While drinking water getting sensitive. Can you share how to cure this toothache
Male | 43
A toothache can occur when your tooth has a problem. The sensitivity or pain you feel when drinking water may be a cavity or dental caries. This can bring discomfort and at the same time make your tooth sensitive to extreme-temperature liquids. Advising patients to visit a dentist as soon as possible is beneficial to help manage toothache. They can investigate the tooth and give proper solutions which might involve filling the cavity or other pain relief procedures to improve the situation.

Sir When I chew something, my left jaw hurts a lot, Can you plz tell me any medicine or solution?
Male | 24
It sounds like you might have a problem with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or a dental issue. It's best to see a dentist or an oral surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Avoid hard foods and take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. Please visit a dentist soon for accurate care.

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.

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

Can her teeth become white again and having good breath..? She had canker sores and bleeding gums for the last 4 days...the canker sore are gone.now she is still recovering from it although she is having difficult to eat solid food
Female | 1
Bleeding gums and canker sores may be due to poor oral hygiene, stress, or vitamin deficiencies. To get her teeth white again and have good breath, she should try gentle brushing with fluoride toothpaste, floss every day; and rinse her mouth with salt water. For now, spicy or acidic foods should be avoided; however, if this persists then she should see a dentist.

Me and my girlfriend both have little white bumps on ours tongues and we have no idea what they are they are on the tip of our tongues and sides
Male | 20
We get to notice white bumps on the tongue by the name of "lie bumps" or TLP (Transient Lingual Papillitis) very often. They are usually benign and caused by either skin irritation or minor injections it. The subject should always be examined and discussed by a dentist or an oral specialist before the actual treatment is applied

I am 19 year old female and I my gums are becoming quite soft and aching since 3,4 days and I have ulcers in my thorat and tongue...suggest me what to do?
Female | 19
You could have gingivitis. When your gums are red, swollen and bleed easily it is called gingivitis. Plaque builds up on the teeth and causes this. The sores on your throat and tongue may be due to infection. To relieve symptoms make sure that you brush and floss gently but often; use mild antiseptic mouthwash as well. Drink lots of water too so that spicy or acidic food does not irritate the mouth any further. Visit a dentist if there is still no change in the condition.

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.
