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.

View allI'm trying to figure out how much it might cost to have an oral fibroma surgically removed. It's on the inside of my cheek and developed because my braces keep rubbing against it. Any idea what the cost could be?
The cost of surgically removing an oral fibroma can range from 5,000 to 50,000 or more, depending on factors like location, surgeon's expertise, hospital or clinic fees, and the complexity of the procedure, and in your case, since the fibroma is caused by friction from braces, your orthodontist or oral surgeon may recommend a simple excision procedure under local anesthesia.

I have a small mucocele under 1 cm on my lower lip that doesn't seem to be going away. Is it something to worry about if I don't want to get surgery for it?
A small mucocele (mucous cyst) on your lower lip, under 1 cm, is usually not a cause for immediate concern if it's not causing any pain, discomfort, or interfering with your ability to eat, talk, or swallow. However, it's best to monitor it and see a dentist if it persists for more than a few weeks or if you notice any changes.

What exactly happens during guided dental implant surgery I'm getting it done soon and feeling pretty nervous Also what side effects should I expect and any important precautions for the first few days after the procedure
Guided implant surgery uses advanced technology to ensure accurate implant placement, minimizing risks and improving outcomes. It involves a 3D model of your jawbone and implant placement plan, followed by surgery using a guide that helps the dentist insert the implant with precision. Expect some temporary side effects like swelling, bruising, and minor pain, but these typically resolve within a few days.
