Question 1

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.

Question 2

I'm trying to figure out how much it might cost to have an oral fibroma surgically removed. It's on the inside of my cheek and developed because my braces keep rubbing against it. Any idea what the cost could be?

Accepted Answer

The cost of surgically removing an oral fibroma can range from 5,000 to 50,000  or more, depending on factors like location, surgeon's expertise, hospital or clinic fees, and the complexity of the procedure, and in your case, since the fibroma is caused by friction from braces, your orthodontist or oral surgeon may recommend a simple excision procedure under local anesthesia.
