I'm dealing with a really stubborn mouth ulcer that hasn't healed in three days. I've been taking B complex tablets twice a day and using zytee gel on it, but there's no improvement. Can you help me figure out what's going on or what else I can do?

Given your symptoms, here's a suggested order of specialists to consult:

Initial Consultation

General Physician: Start with a general physician to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the pain.

Specialized Consultation 2. Orthopedist: If the general physician suspects a musculoskeletal issue, consult an orthopedist. They can assess and address potential issues with your bones, joints, or muscles.

Alternative or Additional Therapy 3. Physiotherapist: A physiotherapist can help with pain management, improve mobility, and strengthen muscles. They can be consulted in conjunction with an orthopedist or as a follow-up appointment.

Pain Specialist (Optional) 4. Pain Specialist: If your pain persists and is severe, you may want to consult a pain specialist. They can help manage chronic pain and develop a customized treatment plan.

Is there a way to make my front two teeth smaller without getting crowns? I'm not keen on major dental work are there any quick procedures or tools that can do this? Just worried about how it might look and feel.

Veneers are a great option if you desire to have the smile of your dreams and want instant results without tooth extractions or other invasive and time consuming treatments. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that fit on the front surface of your natural teeth.

The first four teeth in my upper jaw that show when I smile seem too big for me. They're not sticking out and are actually well-aligned, but they measure 10mm in length and 7mm in width. I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it, but it really affects my confidence I avoid open-mouth smiles and just do closed-lip ones instead. Is there a way to fix this? Can the length be trimmed down a bit, or would I need surgery to remove them and replace them with smaller artificial teeth?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
