How long do GIC fillings usually last on the biting surface of my molars? I got them all done on the middle part of the biting surface, and the cost was about Rs. 500 each. Just wondering if they are going to hold up well.

Don't worry, a discrepancy of 1-2 weeks in early pregnancy dating is common.

The scan report indicating 7 weeks 5 days might be due to various factors, such as:

  • Variability in menstrual cycle length
  • Ovulation timing
  • Embryo development rate

Consult your healthcare provider to discuss the scan results and determine a more accurate gestational age.

They will assess your overall health and the pregnancy's progress.

I've been experiencing some discomfort whenever I open my mouth wide, like when I'm eating or brushing my teeth. It's a pain on the left side of my jaw near the ear. I haven't hurt myself or anything like that. Could you tell me what might be causing this?

You may be experiencing symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing jaw exercises to improve jaw mobility may also be beneficial. In some cases, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine may be prescribed by a healthcare provider. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a dentist or an oral surgeon for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a really stubborn mouth ulcer that hasn't healed in three days. I've been taking B complex tablets twice a day and using zytee gel on it, but there's no improvement. Can you help me figure out what's going on or what else I can do?

Given your symptoms, here's a suggested order of specialists to consult: *Initial Consultation* 1. *General Physician*: Start with a general physician to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the pain. *Specialized Consultation* 2. *Orthopedist*: If the general physician suspects a musculoskeletal issue, consult an orthopedist. They can assess and address potential issues with your bones, joints, or muscles. *Alternative or Additional Therapy* 3. *Physiotherapist*: A physiotherapist can help with pain management, improve mobility, and strengthen muscles. They can be consulted in conjunction with an orthopedist or as a follow-up appointment. *Pain Specialist (Optional)* 4. *Pain Specialist*: If your pain persists and is severe, you may want to consult a pain specialist. They can help manage chronic pain and develop a customized treatment plan.

I used clove oil directly on my tooth to help with some pain, but it was a lot and undiluted, so my mouth started burning really badly, though it stopped after a while. I ended up swallowing some of it too. Is that okay?
