I used clove oil directly on my tooth to help with some pain, but it was a lot and undiluted, so my mouth started burning really badly, though it stopped after a while. I ended up swallowing some of it too. Is that okay?

I have a cavity in my molar and there's some skin growing over it. My dentist suggested surgery to remove the skin first and then treat the cavity. Is this the best approach or are there other options I should consider? I'm a bit nervous about the procedure.

I've got some swelling in my inner cheek, right near the last teeth on the lower jaw on the right side, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and how can I get some relief?

You may be experiencing swelling due to an infection in your mouth. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the discomfort and inflammation. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce swelling. If the swelling persists or worsens, please consult with a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.
