View allI'm a bit worried because I recently had my wisdom teeth removed on June 17th, and just got my stitches out on June 24th. There's this gap now that seems quite visible, and I can even see a part of the tooth in there. The dentist didn't say much except to come back in 15 days, but I'm wondering if this gap might lead to an infection, especially with my eating habits. Could you tell me what I should or shouldn't be doing in the meantime?
The visible gap and exposed tooth fragment after wisdom teeth removal are common concerns; to minimize risks of infection or complications, avoid chewing hard or sticky foods, brushing too aggressively, or using a straw for 2-3 weeks; maintain good oral hygiene with gentle saltwater rinses and soft-bristled toothbrush; and schedule a follow-up appointment with your dentist as recommended to assess healing progress and address any concerns

My tooth is totally broken and might need to be pulled will I have to get gum surgery for that? What's usually involved in the extraction process? I'm a little worried about how complicated it might be.

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.
