I had a mucocele removed by minor surgery 4 months ago but now there's a red spot left. It doesn't hurt but I'm wondering if this is normal or if I should see a specialist. Which type of doctor is best for checking this? Could it be dangerous if left untreated?

Post-mucocele red spot may be normal scar tissue; if persistent, show to oral surgeon or ENT—low risk, but evaluation helps rule out recurrence.

View allMy impacted teeth are causing me a lot of pain and the dentist recommended a CBCT scan before suggesting surgery. Is surgery really necessary or are there other options? The X-ray shows the issue but I'm not sure what to expect next.
While impacted teeth can cause pain and complications, surgery (extraction) isn't always the first or only treatment option. A CBCT scan helps the dentist plan the best approach, but other options like observation or tooth relocation might be considered depending on the specific situation and the severity of the impaction

I'm a bit worried because four days after having my wisdom tooth taken out from the lower left side, I suddenly started noticing this strange taste in my mouth. Ive been sticking to all the instructions and prescriptions my doctor provided, and thankfully theres no pain. But this odd taste is concerning. What could it be, and should I do something about it?
Could be a sign of infection. It's good that you have no pain, but the odd taste may indicate an issue. I recommend using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate to help with the taste and prevent infection. You can also take antibiotics like amoxicillin to treat any infection that may be present. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor. If the odd taste persists, it's best to consult your dentist for further evaluation.
