I noticed a white lump on the inside of my cheek near my teeth this month after accidentally biting that spot last month. It seems to be growing, but I don't use tobacco or drink. Could this be mouth cancer? Is there any way to treat it naturally or without surgery? I'm really worried about this.

A white lump inside your cheek could be several things, including a benign condition like a bump caused by irritation, or potentially oral cancer, While some growths are benign and can be treated with topical or non-surgical options, others may require more aggressive treatment. It's crucial to consult a dentist or doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

View allI'm having a really bad toothache and got a ketorol 10mg dispersible tablet to help with the pain. Is it okay if I just let it dissolve in my mouth instead of swallowing it? I'm just a bit unsure about the right way to take it.
Yes, you can take Ketorol 10mg dispersible tablet by allowing it to dissolve in your mouth. For severe toothache, you can take one tablet by mouth every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure not to chew or swallow the tablet whole, let it dissolve in your mouth. Remember to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

My gums have been bleeding off and on but there's no pain while eating. The dentist says I have bone loss and need 3 scaling sessions plus laser flap surgery in 2 sittings soon. They mentioned bone loss like this usually happens with BP or neuro meds but I don't have diabetes or high BP. Does this treatment plan make sense or should I get another opinion? Also I'm moving to the US next month should I wait to get this done there or do it now in Bangalore? I'm 28 and otherwise healthy.
It's wise to get a second opinion on your treatment plan for gum disease, especially since you're otherwise healthy and don't have the typical risk factors mentioned. While laser flap surgery and scaling are common treatments for periodontitis, a second opinion from another dentist or periodontist can help confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan. Deciding whether to have the treatment now in India or wait until you move to the US requires considering your specific situation, including cost, insurance coverage in the US, and the potential for faster recovery in certain climates, according to some sources.
