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.

My gums have been bleeding off and on but there's no pain while eating. The dentist says I have bone loss and need 3 scaling sessions plus laser flap surgery in 2 sittings soon. They mentioned bone loss like this usually happens with BP or neuro meds but I don't have diabetes or high BP. Does this treatment plan make sense or should I get another opinion? Also I'm moving to the US next month should I wait to get this done there or do it now in Bangalore? I'm 28 and otherwise healthy.

It's wise to get a second opinion on your treatment plan for gum disease, especially since you're otherwise healthy and don't have the typical risk factors mentioned. While laser flap surgery and scaling are common treatments for periodontitis, a second opinion from another dentist or periodontist can help confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan. Deciding whether to have the treatment now in India or wait until you move to the US requires considering your specific situation, including cost, insurance coverage in the US, and the potential for faster recovery in certain climates, according to some sources.

My dad is 67 and has aggressive periodontitis with only 17 teeth left. The doctor recommended flap surgery and bone grafting but we're unsure about skipping it. What could happen if he doesn't get the procedure done?

I'm dealing with a boil inside my cheek which I think started after I accidentally bit it, and I also have a B12 deficiency. Now I've noticed a boil on the other cheek too. It doesn't hurt much, but I'm worried if it's something serious. Should I see a dentist or an ENT for this? What do you recommend?
