 Dental x-ray will help you in determining the cause of dental pain. It will show you the extent of damage caused by the cavity. 

Dental x-ray will also determine fracture, if present. Dental x-ray is also helpful to diagnose any sort of cyst present in badly infected tooth. It also serves as a record for your treatment done.

What is dental implantology?

Female | 25

Dental implantology involves placing artificial teeth into the jawbone to replace lost teeth. A dental implant acts as a new root, supporting a replacement tooth that functions like a natural one. Common signs that you might need a dental implant include pain while chewing or speaking, gaps between teeth, or jawbone shrinkage. These implants can restore your smile and improve your ability to eat and talk comfortably.

"Is it safe and appropriate for me to use Chlorhexidine mouthwash regularly, diluted with water, as part of my morning oral hygiene routine, and if so, what would be the recommended concentration and frequency of use for my specific oral health needs?"

Male | 15

Absolutely, the use of diluted Chlorhexidine mouthwash with water in the morning routine of oral care can be safe and helpful. The usual concentration is 0.12% and it can be used once or twice per day. This mouthwash is good for inflammation of gums, plaque as well as bacteria in the mouth. To get the best outcome, do not swallow and follow directions cautiously.

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 hole in my right upper molar with a large brow hole. The tooth has hurt for a while.

Female | 18

It seems you are suffering from a toothache that is leading to a cavity, which is a very frequent dental problem. This issue is caused by the decay of a tooth that is mainly due to bacteria. Symptoms like pain are the signals that might indicate the condition needs attention. Then the dentist will identify the area of decay and manage it with a filling or, in case of severe damage, a root canal. Along with taking care of the teeth by brushing and flossing daily, oral hygiene can help you stay healthy and away from other problems. Therefore, the treatment by a doctor will help you get the best way to your full recovery and also make your tooth comfortable to live with.
