Question 2

I'm trying to figure out how much it might cost to have an oral fibroma surgically removed. It's on the inside of my cheek and developed because my braces keep rubbing against it. Any idea what the cost could be?

Accepted Answer

The cost of surgically removing an oral fibroma can range from 5,000 to 50,000  or more, depending on factors like location, surgeon's expertise, hospital or clinic fees, and the complexity of the procedure, and in your case, since the fibroma is caused by friction from braces, your orthodontist or oral surgeon may recommend a simple excision procedure under local anesthesia.

Question 3

My tooth hurts off and on and my dentist says there's another tooth growing under it that needs surgery. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other options I can try first? I'm a bit nervous about going under the knife.

Accepted Answer

It's understandable to be hesitant about dental surgery. While surgery might be necessary to remove a tooth that's impacted or causing problems, there are also other options to explore before committing to surgery. Depending on the tooth's position, severity of pain, and potential complications, a dentist might recommend a non-surgical approach first, such as pain management or observation

I've been dealing with constant jaw and neck pain for about a year now, and I recently saw an oral surgeon who suggested I get an MRI of my TMJ. I'm a bit worried thoughis it okay to go ahead with the MRI during my menstrual period, or should I wait until it's over?
