Dentist didn't mentioned anything but to visit after 15days. I afraid about my food routine. Since there's a gap. Does it results in any infection. What shall I do and don't do..???

Accepted Answer

Its normal to have some visible gaps after wisdom tooth removal, and the area may appear deeper as it heals. As long as you're following the dentists advice, it's unlikely to cause infection. Be sure to keep the area clean, avoid hard or sticky foods, and follow any post-surgery instructions to promote healing. If you experience pain or swelling, visit your dentist sooner for peace of mind.

Accepted Answer

It sounds more likely to be related to a wisdom tooth issue or a dental infection, especially if there's swelling and pain in the jaw. Cancer typically involves more noticeable changes like persistent sores, bleeding, or lumps. It's best to see a dentist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Question 4

I have some excess tissue inside my mouth near the cheek, it looks a bit like a small skin tag but is really uncomfortable. Should I see a dentist or a doctor for this? What could it be?

Accepted Answer

The excess tissue inside your mouth, resembling a small skin tag, could be a benign growth such as a fibroma, mucocele, or a traumatic fibroma, and it's recommended to consult a dentist or an oral surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, as they can assess the tissue and possibly remove it if necessary

Question 5

I have wisdom teeth coming up, and since there's no space, it's tearing the skin in my mouth. On top of that, I've been dealing with canker sores next to the tooth for the past three days. My right jaw is a little swollen and the pain is unbearable. ...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're experiencing a painful situation with your wisdom teeth, possibly leading to infection or irritation. I recommend rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater to soothe the pain, using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, and applying a topical ointment for the canker sores. However, given the swelling, fever, and persistent pain, it's important to see a dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible to assess if theres an infection or need for extraction.

Question 6

How much it will cost to remove mucocele by laser treatment? How long do I need to take rest after the treatment ?

Accepted Answer

Mucocele removal is a minor surgery. It requires only a few hours of post-operative rest until the anesthesia wears off. You can then be discharged. Cost of the surgery varies depending on the facility at which you have the procedure done.
