I'm trying to figure out how much it might cost to have an oral fibroma surgically removed. It's on the inside of my cheek and developed because my braces keep rubbing against it. Any idea what the cost could be?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The cost of surgically removing an oral fibroma can range from 5,000 to 50,000 or more, depending on factors like location, surgeon's expertise, hospital or clinic fees, and the complexity of the procedure, and in your case, since the fibroma is caused by friction from braces, your orthodontist or oral surgeon may recommend a simple excision procedure under local anesthesia.

View allI recently had surgery to remove a cyst near my front tooth in the upper jawline, and the bone in that area has melted. How long does it usually take for the bone to regenerate after something like this? Also, what are the chances of the cyst coming back and is there anything I can do to prevent it from recurring?
Bone healing usually takes 3–6 months; recurrence risk is low if properly cleaned—regular dental follow-up helps.

my jaw has been swollen for the past 4 months and it keeps getting worse day by day is surgery the only option or are there other treatments that could help
Swollen jaw pain is often treatable without surgery. If the swelling is caused by a dental problem (like an abscess or periodontal disease), antibiotics or dental procedures (root canal, extraction, etc.) might be needed. If it's due to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues, treatments like physical therapy, medication, or a night guard can help. If the swelling is caused by a tumor or cancer, surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy might be necessary. It's crucial to see a doctor or dentist to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

One of my teeth got slanted to the side after an injury and I'm not sure if this needs surgery or if there are other ways to fix it. What kind of treatment would work best for this and how does the procedure usually go?
If a tooth has shifted due to injury, an orthodontist or dentist can typically assess the situation and recommend a treatment plan. This may involve braces, clear aligners (like Invisalign), or in some cases, surgery to reposition the tooth and jaw.
