I have a bone graft issue in my upper and lower front teeth and my dentist recommended flap surgery but I'm hesitant because it seems like a long and painful process. Can I just get my front teeth extracted instead of going through with the surgery? What are my other options for dealing with this bone graft problem?

ortho review is advised.

I'm really worried because I've had this white coating on my tongue for about a week now. Do you have any advice on how I can treat it?

You may be experiencing oral thrush, which is a fungal infection in the mouth. You can use an antifungal medication like clotrimazole troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for 14 days. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue regularly can also help in treating the white coating on your tongue.
