I'm dealing with a boil inside my cheek which I think started after I accidentally bit it, and I also have a B12 deficiency. Now I've noticed a boil on the other cheek too. It doesn't hurt much, but I'm worried if it's something serious. Should I see a dentist or an ENT for this? What do you recommend?

I've been dealing with bad breath a lot, even though I make sure to brush my teeth twice every day. It's really bothering me since the problem sticks around all day long. I'm starting to wonder if this could be a sign of some other medical issue. What could be going on here?

I'm really struggling with a bad toothache right now. Can I take ketorolac 10mg to help ease the pain just for now?

Ketorolac 10mg can be used for temporary relief of toothache pain. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage which is usually 10mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. It's also important to not exceed the maximum daily dosage. Additionally, it's advisable to consult with a dentist for proper evaluation and treatment of the underlying cause of the toothache.

I've noticed a gap between my upper teeth and I'm really curious about what the process is like to fill it. How long does something like that usually take? And also, what should I expect in terms of cost?

To fill the gap between your upper teeth, your dentist may recommend options like dental bonding or veneers. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to an hour per tooth, depending on the treatment. The cost can vary widely, typically ranging from $100 to $800 per tooth.
