I've been dealing with a toothache for the past couple of days. There's a cavity, and it's been really painful, especially since this evening. I can't even drink cold water because it hurts so much. Can you suggest something that might help?

-You can try rinsing with warm salt water to reduce pain and inflammation. Applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek may also help numb the area. However, it's best to see a dentist soon to get the cavity treated.

View allI'm dealing with an issue where one of my premolars on the bottom right has partly broken, with half of it still stuck in there. I'm trying to figure out what would be the best lasting and comfy solution. Should I go for a dental implant or a bridge? Also, I'd love to know how much each option might cost. Any advice would be great!

My dentist prescribed me Ofloxacin and Ornidazole for a dental issue, and it got me wondering, isn't this combination usually more for stomach infections? I didn't know it was used for dental problems too. Could it have any effects on my heart because I'm seeing a cardiologist as well? I just want to make sure everything's safe. What's the usual reason dentists would prescribe this?
Dentists and cardiologists may prescribe the Ofloxacin + Ornidazole combination to prevent or treat bacterial infections that can occur during dental procedures or in patients with certain heart conditions, such as endocarditis, as Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that targets a wide range of bacteria, while Ornidazole is an antiprotozoal agent that also has antibacterial properties, making this combination effective against various types of infections.

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.
