I'm having a really bad toothache and got a ketorol 10mg dispersible tablet to help with the pain. Is it okay if I just let it dissolve in my mouth instead of swallowing it? I'm just a bit unsure about the right way to take it.

Yes, you can take Ketorol 10mg dispersible tablet by allowing it to dissolve in your mouth. For severe toothache, you can take one tablet by mouth every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure not to chew or swallow the tablet whole, let it dissolve in your mouth. Remember to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

View allI've been experiencing some discomfort whenever I open my mouth wide, like when I'm eating or brushing my teeth. It's a pain on the left side of my jaw near the ear. I haven't hurt myself or anything like that. Could you tell me what might be causing this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing jaw exercises to improve jaw mobility may also be beneficial. In some cases, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine may be prescribed by a healthcare provider. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a dentist or an oral surgeon for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about bad breath. I brush my teeth every morning, but I've noticed the bad smell comes back after I eat during the day. What's causing this and how can I keep my breath fresh all day? It's getting a bit embarrassing and I'm not sure what else to do. Could it be something I'm eating or maybe I have a dental issue I'm not aware of? Any advice would really help.
To avoid bad breath throughout the day, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene. In addition to brushing your teeth in the morning, make sure to also brush your teeth after meals. You can use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine or cetylpyridinium chloride to reduce bacteria in the mouth and freshen breath. Additionally, chewing sugar-free gum or mints containing xylitol can help stimulate saliva production and reduce bad breath. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can also help keep your mouth moist and reduce odor.

I've had a gum infection for the past 4 days near my lower front teeth and I'm also undergoing RCT treatment. My dentist mentioned that if the infection doesn't clear up with the RCT, I might need surgery. Is gum surgery really the best option for this kind of infection? I'm worried about what the procedure involves and if there are other alternatives I should consider first.
sx is option only.
