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.

My tooth number 47 has grade 3 mobility is it possible to save it with surgery and bone grafts or is it too far gone? What are my options here?

Grade 3 mobility often indicates severe damage. Bone grafting and splinting may help, but extraction is likely if the supporting bone is too compromised.

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.

I've been chewing Happydent gum a lot lately and I'm a bit concerned. Each piece has 6 pallets, and I've noticed I'm consuming about 1824 pallets every week. They say it's sugar-free and has Xylitol in it, but I'm wondering if there could be any side effects from chewing so much of this gum. Could you shed some light on this for me?

Consuming 18-24 pallets of Happydent chewing gum per week, which contains xylitol, may lead to potential side effects, including gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, bloating, gas, and abdominal pain, as some people may not fully digest xylitol; additionally, excessive xylitol consumption may also cause a laxative effect, electrolyte imbalances, or interact with medications like blood thinners.
