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 dealing with bad breath a lot, even though I make sure to brush my teeth twice every day. It's really bothering me since the problem sticks around all day long. I'm starting to wonder if this could be a sign of some other medical issue. What could be going on here?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've been dealing with really bad mouth ulcers that keep getting worse, and now there's a painful bump on my tongue making it hard to eat anything except water. The doctor prescribed creame and forte b tablets, but the ulcers are spreading even after taking antibiotics for fever that started 5 days ago. I'm scared of surgery can this be treated without it? Should I see an ENT specialist or a dentist for this? There's an image showing the sores and bump on my tongue.

It's important to see a dentist or oral surgeon for the painful bump and persistent mouth ulcers, as they could be a sign of something more serious, like oral cancer. While some ulcers resolve on their own, prolonged sores warrant medical attention. Treatment options often include topical medications or, in some cases, minor procedures, but surgery is not typically necessary.
