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.

I'm dealing with a really painful mouth ulcer right now. Do you think using candid mouth paint along with a becosule capsule would be a good idea for this?

Is it okay to swallow candida mouth paint, or should I spit it out? I'm worried about whether it's safe to ingest it.

Do not swallow unless the instructions indicate that it is safe to do so.

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.
