I'm on day 3 after having my left-side wisdom teeth removed, both upper and lower, and I've been having a lot of pain in my left temple. It's so bad that I can't sleep at night. I'm also worried because the left side of my tongue is still numb. What's going on here? Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do?

I noticed a white patch on the right side of my tongue that extends to the floor of my mouth, about 2.5 cm in size. I saw an oncologist who recommended laser surgery costing around 10k with admission, but another oncologist suggested excision with frozen section and a 2-day hospital stay for about 2 lakhs, plus extracting my lower 8th tooth. I'm confused should I go with an oncologist or an ENT specialist for this?

ENT or oncologist both manage such lesions; decision depends on biopsy results, margins, and surgical expertise required.

My wisdom tooth on the right side is causing extreme pain, and my dentist recommended extraction. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery? I'm really worried about going under the knife is there a way to manage this without removing the tooth?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm really scared about getting my wisdom tooth removed because it's partially grown and causing me a lot of pain. I've heard about laser-assisted surgery does it actually help with less pain and no stitches? I'm super anxious about the whole procedure

Yes LASER assisted surgery is better but then it adds to the cost. The conventional flap raising method is time tested
