I'm really having a hard time with my wisdom teeth coming in since there's no space for them. It's tearing my skin in the mouth and I've also been dealing with some painful canker sores right next to that tooth for the past few days. My right jaw is a bit swollen, and the pain is just unbearable. I feel feverish with a mild headache. What should I do to get some relief?

It sounds like you're experiencing a painful situation with your wisdom teeth, possibly leading to infection or irritation. I recommend rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater to soothe the pain, using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, and applying a topical ointment for the canker sores. However, given the swelling, fever, and persistent pain, it's important to see a dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible to assess if theres an infection or need for extraction.

My brother in the US got an xray showing his wisdom teeth are growing abnormally - 3 teeth with 2 in weird positions. The doctors there recommended removal surgery. He's coming to Mumbai in September for treatment. Is surgery the only option here? Who would be the best specialist to consult for this in Mumbai?
Wisdom teeth surgery is typically the best option for abnormal growth or positioning, especially if they cause pain or potential dental complications. In Mumbai, top oral surgeons or maxillofacial specialists can assess your brother’s case. Look for experts at dental hospitals like Dr. Kothari’s Dental Clinic or Smile Essentials.

I noticed a white patch on the right side of my tongue that extends to the floor of my mouth, about 2.5 cm in size. I saw an oncologist who recommended laser surgery costing around 10k with admission, but another oncologist suggested excision with frozen section and a 2-day hospital stay for about 2 lakhs, plus extracting my lower 8th tooth. I'm confused should I go with an oncologist or an ENT specialist for this?
ENT or oncologist both manage such lesions; decision depends on biopsy results, margins, and surgical expertise required.
