I'm really worried because a little piece of my tooth in the upper jaw, close to my wisdom tooth, broke off a couple of days ago, and it just keeps hurting constantly. I've been taking Zerodol-P and Augmentin 375 like someone suggested to help with the pain, but it's not getting any better. Should I be doing anything else before I can see a dentist, or is there something specific I should ask them?

View allI got a tooth extracted yesterday, and then I fainted a few hours later. Should I be worried about that? Any idea why that might have happened?
The red skin, bump, and pus around your nose piercing are likely signs of an infection or irritation. Given your upcoming wedding, it's essential to address this issue promptly. Here's a step-by-step plan to help your piercing heal faster: *Immediate Actions* 1. *Stop using antibiotics*: Since you've already used antibiotics without seeing improvement, it's best to consult a doctor for further guidance. 2. *Clean the piercing*: Gently clean the piercing with saline solution (14 teaspoon of sea salt in 8 ounces of warm water) 2-3 times a day. 3. *Avoid tight clothing*: Keep the area around your nose piercing free from tight clothing, which can irritate the piercing. *Promote Healing* 1. *Tea tree oil*: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with coconut or olive oil and apply it to the affected area using a cotton swab. 2. *Aloe vera gel*: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 3. *Vitamin E oil*: Massage a few drops of vitamin E oil into the affected area to promote collagen production and healing. *Medical Consultation* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your doctor or a dermatologist to assess the piercing and provide personalized guidance. 2. *Get a piercing aftercare product*: Your doctor may recommend a specific aftercare product to help your piercing heal faster. *Wedding Day Preparations* 1. *Temporary removal*: If the piercing is still not healed by your wedding day, consider temporarily removing the jewelry to avoid further irritation. 2. *Makeup coverage*: If the piercing is still visible, consider using makeup to cover the area.

I've noticed this red spot inside my cheek that just appeared today, and I'm a bit concerned about it. I go for regular oral check-ups and even take antioxidants to keep things in check. I do chew tobacco sometimes, though. I haven't had any issues with eating or opening my mouth, but the red spot is making me anxious. Could you shed some light on what this might be?

I've been struggling with bad breath, but I don't have any cavities or gum issues that I know of. I'm really starting to get worried because I can't figure out what's causing it. Could it be something else, or is there something I might be overlooking? Any advice on what might be going on or how to deal with this would be really appreciated.
Bad breath can sometimes be caused by a dry mouth, digestive issues, or dietary habits even if your teeth and gums are healthy. Stay hydrated, clean your tongue daily, and consider checking for underlying causes like acid reflux or sinus issues.
