I'm 22 and have a gap between my teeth and gums, with pus around just one tooth. My periodontist suggested flap surgery once a week for four weeks after seeing my OPG. My front four teeth are loose and keep shifting is there any way to save them without losing them? Can flap surgery be done in a single sitting instead? Are there any advanced treatments to stabilize my teeth?

View allI've been experiencing some discomfort whenever I open my mouth wide, like when I'm eating or brushing my teeth. It's a pain on the left side of my jaw near the ear. I haven't hurt myself or anything like that. Could you tell me what might be causing this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing jaw exercises to improve jaw mobility may also be beneficial. In some cases, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine may be prescribed by a healthcare provider. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a dentist or an oral surgeon for further evaluation and management.

I quit pan masala about 10 days ago, and after three days, all the issues I was havinglike feeling spicy while eating and having a white patchdisappeared. But now I'm noticing some pain on the right side of my cheek, particularly in the upper corner. It feels like my corner tooth is touching my cheek, and it's causing some pain. Could this possibly be cancer?
Without any further delay visit Dentist for appropriate management.

I'm pretty sure I've got a canker sore on my palatoglossal arch, and it's been growing. There's no headache or stomach pain, just pain right where the ulcer seems to be. If it's not a canker sore, what else could it be? It's been around for a week now and isn't showing any signs of shrinking or healing. What should I do to treat it? I'm starting to get a bit worried.
consult a ENT specialist for further management. Any long standing ulcer should be biopsied and ruled out for malignancy.
