I'm getting my wisdom tooth removed surgically soon and I'm not sure whether to go for normal sutures or dissolvable ones what's the difference and which one's better Also how long does the surgery usually take
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Dissolvable sutures are more convenient and avoid removal—wisdom tooth surgery usually takes 30–45 minutes.

View allI've been chewing gutkha for about 5 years and noticed an ulcer on the gum near my upper wisdom tooth a month ago. I stopped the habit for two weeks and the ulcer healed, but theres still a skin growth at the jaw joint and pain when I open my mouth. I visited a surgical oncologist who mentioned it might be a premalignant condition like leukoplakia with white discoloration. I was told to stop chewing entirely and given some supplements and a mouthwash. The tenderness mostly went away after 23 days, but now the pain at my wisdom tooth gum has returned. Do you think theres a high chance of this turning into cancer?

how much does it usually cost to get an oral fibroma removed from the inner cheek mine happened because my braces kept rubbing against it and now i'm worried about the surgery
The cost of oral fibroma removal can vary depending on location and the healthcare facility, It's a minor outpatient procedure done under local anesthesia and usually takes less than 30 minutes. Since it developed due to irritation from braces, removal is safe and recurrence is unlikely if the cause is addressed.
