Question

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 didn't know it was used for dental problems too. Could it have any effects on my heart because I'm seeing a cardiologist as well? I just want to make sure everything's safe. What's the usual reason dentists would prescribe this?

Question

I've just had a root canal done and my doctor gave me Enzoflam for the pain. But today I ended up smoking three cigarettes and now the pain's back.
