I'm trying to find the safest mouthwash to use in India because I've heard that some mouthwashes with alcohol might be linked to oral cancer. Is this something I should be worried about? I'm currently using Listerine, but I'm wondering if there are any better options out there. Could you suggest something?

The best alcohol-free mouthwash available in India is Colgate Plax. It is effective in killing germs and providing long-lasting fresh breath. Since you are concerned about the potential link between alcohol-containing mouthwashes and oral cancer, it is advisable to switch to an alcohol-free option like Colgate Plax. Use it twice a day after brushing your teeth, with 20ml undiluted for 30 seconds.

View allWho should I see for removing a mucous cyst a dentist or a dermatologist? I'm not sure which specialist handles this kind of thing and I'm a bit worried about getting it checked out
For a mucous cyst removal, you should consult a dentist or a dermatologist. Dermatologists commonly handle cysts on the skin, while a dentist would be the best choice for a mucous cyst located inside the mouth. If the cyst is causing discomfort or persists for more than a couple of weeks, it's recommended to seek professional help.

My 3D xray shows the root canal is overextended but my dentist says it was done on purpose to clean out infection at the tip and he placed some medication there. He also mentioned I might need minor surgery for the labial bone part. Does this explanation make sense medically? I'm a bit confused about the report and want to understand if this treatment approach is correct
Actually your case is of external root resorption in which a part of root is dissolved may be becoz of infection or any old trauma. So the root canal filling which may be normal at that Time and now its overextended. So dont worry its not a big deal. Either u can treated by re rct (repeat root canal) or by the small root resection surgery.
