I have a cavity in my molar and there's some skin growing over it. My dentist suggested surgery to remove the skin first and then treat the cavity. Is this the best approach or are there other options I should consider? I'm a bit nervous about the procedure.

I'm 24 now and I've had my front teeth half broken ever since childhood from playing. The thing is, I can't really laugh out loud because of it. I was wondering if it's possible to restore the broken teeth at this point. Are there any treatments out there that can fix this problem? And if so, what might it cost to get it treated? I'd really appreciate some advice on this.

Yes there are many treatment modalities for its correction.visit your dentist for appropriate management.

Can gum tone powder actually help with receding gums and bring them back to normal I'm curious how to apply it correctly should it go directly on the gums or the exposed tooth roots Also looking for any natural remedies that might work without needing surgery

Gum tone powder has no proven efficacy;focus on brushing/flossing and consult a periodontist for gum grafts if recession worsens.
