I used clove oil directly on my tooth to help with some pain, but it was a lot and undiluted, so my mouth started burning really badly, though it stopped after a while. I ended up swallowing some of it too. Is that okay?

View allI'm really worried because my tongue always smells really bad, and I think it's causing my terrible breath. I scrape it every day, but nothing seems to help. Is there anything I can do to fix this? And what kind of doctor should I see for this issue?
You may be experiencing halitosis due to bacteria on your tongue. I recommend using a tongue scraper along with an antiseptic mouthwash containing chlorhexidine. You can also try using a tongue gel containing zinc chloride. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue regularly. For over-the-counter options, you can try using Colgate Peroxyl Mouth Sore Rinse as a mouthwash and Orabrush Tongue Cleaner for scraping your tongue. Remember to follow the instructions on the packaging for proper use. If the issue persists, you can consult with a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

I got into an accident a while back, and my tooth broke. They managed to fix it, but that was 8 years ago. I'm a bit worried if there's something I should watch out for or if anything needs checking up now. Any advice?

My dentist prescribed me Ofloxacin and Ornidazole for a dental issue, and it got me wondering, isn't this combination usually more for stomach infections? 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?
Dentists and cardiologists may prescribe the Ofloxacin + Ornidazole combination to prevent or treat bacterial infections that can occur during dental procedures or in patients with certain heart conditions, such as endocarditis, as Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that targets a wide range of bacteria, while Ornidazole is an antiprotozoal agent that also has antibacterial properties, making this combination effective against various types of infections.
