Question 1

I've noticed these little holes inside my cheeks on both sides. There's no pain or bleeding, but when I touch them with my tongue, they feel like they're injured. It's a bit worrying since they're just there without any obvious cause. Should I be concerned or is this something normal? What could be causing them?

Accepted Answer

The small holes inside your cheeks, also known as traumatic ulcers or mouth sores, can be caused by accidental bites, sharp food, or minor injuries; since you're not experiencing pain, bleeding, or other symptoms, monitor the sores for healing, maintain good oral hygiene, and avoid spicy or sharp foods,

Question 2

I've been having pain while chewing and got two different opinions one periodontist said I have deep pockets and infection needing flap surgery, but another dentist looked at a local xray and said RCT is enough instead of surgery. Can you check if the xray shows a tooth infection or gum issue and what treatment would actually help?

Accepted Answer

X-ray can't confirm flap surgery need alone; deep pockets mean gum surgery, while periapical infection near root suggests RCT‚ÄîCBCT imaging can clarify.

Question 3

I've noticed a gap between my upper teeth and I'm really curious about what the process is like to fill it. How long does something like that usually take? And also, what should I expect in terms of cost?

Accepted Answer

To fill the gap between your upper teeth, your dentist may recommend options like dental bonding or veneers. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to an hour per tooth, depending on the treatment. The cost can vary widely, typically ranging from $100 to $800 per tooth.

I'm struggling with oral ulcers and I've been using Kenacort gel as my dentist advised. How long do you think it'll take for them to heal? I'm feeling really discouraged since it seems like there's no improvement. Can you give me some advice?
