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'm on an antibiotic course for a tooth cavity issue, and due to the lockdown, the dentists can't do any root canal procedures. They've given me Augmentin 625 Duo, Ultracet, and Pan D to take for the meantime. But now, after 24 hours, I'm starting to feel feverish. Could any of these medications be causing the fever?

It is unlikely that these drugs would cause fever. The fever might be due to your tooth infection. If the fever persists or becomes high grade, please consult your dentist.

I have a bone graft issue in my upper and lower front teeth and my dentist recommended flap surgery but I'm hesitant because it seems like a long and painful process. Can I just get my front teeth extracted instead of going through with the surgery? What are my other options for dealing with this bone graft problem?

ortho review is advised.

I'm starting to feel some roughness inside my mouth that I can't see, but I notice it every time my tongue touches the inside of my cheeks or lips. It's making my food taste spicier than it actually is when I'm eating. Also, I am a smoker. Could this be related to smoking, or is there something else I should be worried about?

maintain oral hygiene and consume vitamin b rich foods,you will be fine
