Question 1

My gums are receding around my front two teeth, and it looks like I can see the roots. I'm really worried do I have to get surgery, or are there other options? Also, can you recommend a good specialist or hospital for this? What would the cost be? And how can I take care of my teeth at home to prevent it from getting worse?

Accepted Answer

Receding gums, especially when exposing tooth roots, should be addressed promptly by a dentist. While surgery might be an option for moderate to severe cases, non-surgical methods like topical antibiotics or dental bonding can be effective for milder situations. Proper brushing technique, regular dental checkups, and addressing underlying issues like teeth grinding can help prevent further recession.

I've been dealing with this constant gum and tooth pain, and I'm wondering if the dolo tablet is a good option to help with it. Can anyone advise on whether it's effective for this kind of pain? Would appreciate your input.

Question 3

I've been noticing some white patches in my mouth for the past few days and Im a bit worried. I've attached an image so you can get a better look. Could it just be a fungal infection, or is it something more serious? Since it doesnt hurt, bleed, or scrape off, and the size hasn't increased, I'm feeling a bit confused about what it could be. Should I be concerned about oral cancer? I've never smoked, drank alcohol, or chewed tobacco. Do you think it's serious enough to need immediate medical attention? This has been going on for about a month and I have them on both sides of my gums near my wisdom teeth. I dont remember hurting myself with my toothbrush, although my teeth might've bitten the same spot. Right now, Im using a multivitamin and Kenacort gel. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

May be a case of oral lichen planus. To help with this condition, you can try using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine and applying a topical corticosteroid like Triamcinolone dental paste. Additionally, you may benefit from taking Vitamin B complex supplements to support oral health. It is advisable to consult with a dentist or an oral medicine specialist for a proper evaluation and management plan. Please continue with your multivitamin supplement and kenacort gel, but consider adding chlorhexidine mouthwash and Triamcinolone dental paste for the oral lesions. If there are any concerns or if the condition worsens, do seek medical advice for further evaluation and management.

I'm noticing some black spots inside my mouth and it's been causing some discomfort. I also find it painful when I eat things that are spicy or salty, and there's this persistent aching feeling inside my cheek. What should I do about this?
