Hey, so I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable pain on the left side of my forehead and my upper left gumsteeth. It became worse overnight, and now the whole left side of my upper face is aching like crazy. I even feel a bit feverish. I tried taking some crocin pain relief this morning because it was just too much to handle, but I'm still struggling to eat on my left side without pain. Chewing is especially tough. The gumspain hasn't gone awayany idea what might be happening or what I can do?

Your symptoms, including sudden severe pain on the left side of your forehead, upper gums, and teeth, accompanied by feverishness, suggest a possible dental issue, such as an abscessed tooth or infected gums, or potentially a trigeminal neuralgia or sinusitis; schedule an urgent appointment with your dentist

View allI've had a gum infection for the past 4 days near my lower front teeth and I'm also undergoing RCT treatment. My dentist mentioned that if the infection doesn't clear up with the RCT, I might need surgery. Is gum surgery really the best option for this kind of infection? I'm worried about what the procedure involves and if there are other alternatives I should consider first.
sx is option only.

Is it okay to delay gum surgery until June or should I get it done sooner Also are black gums something to be really worried about health-wise
It's generally best to address gum surgery sooner rather than later, and black gums may be a cause for concern depending on the reason. Delaying gum surgery can lead to more severe conditions and increased treatment complexity, while black gums can be a symptom of gum disease or other health issues.

I have a bone graft issue in my upper and lower front teeth and my dentist recommended flap surgery but I'm hesitant because it seems like a long and painful process. Can I just get my front teeth extracted instead of going through with the surgery? What are my other options for dealing with this bone graft problem?
ortho review is advised.
