I've been noticing that when I wake up in the morning and spit out the saliva that's built up overnight, it's yellow. I've tried brushing my teeth before going to bed and even using mouthwash, but it still happens. It's been a problem for the past couple of months. Any idea what might be causing this?

This can be due to conditions like dry mouth, sinus infections, or even acid reflux. I would recommend using an antibacterial mouthwash like Listerine twice daily and staying hydrated throughout the day. If the issue persists, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums for acid reflux. If symptoms continue, consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

My husband had heart surgery back in 2012 and has been dealing with tooth pain for the last three months. The dentist recommended a root canal, but I'm worried is it safe for him given his heart history? What should we consider before going ahead with it?

cardiologist opinion is advised.

My tooth number 47 has grade 3 mobility is it possible to save it with surgery and bone grafts or is it too far gone? What are my options here?

Grade 3 mobility often indicates severe damage. Bone grafting and splinting may help, but extraction is likely if the supporting bone is too compromised.
