I've been getting these recurring ulcers in my mouth, and I'm not sure who I should be seeing about it. The ulcers are mostly on the inside of my lower lip and cheeks. Should I be reaching out to a physician, or is an ENT specialist the right person to help me? What do you recommend?

View allI've been prescribed both amoxicillin and diazepam, and my dentist mentioned it's okay to take them together. But I just came across some information suggesting it might not be safe. I'm a bit worried because I've already taken both. Can you clarify if there's any risk with combining these medications?

My gums are receding around my front two teeth, and it looks like I can see the roots. I'm really worried do I have to get surgery, or are there other options? Also, can you recommend a good specialist or hospital for this? What would the cost be? And how can I take care of my teeth at home to prevent it from getting worse?
Receding gums, especially when exposing tooth roots, should be addressed promptly by a dentist. While surgery might be an option for moderate to severe cases, non-surgical methods like topical antibiotics or dental bonding can be effective for milder situations. Proper brushing technique, regular dental checkups, and addressing underlying issues like teeth grinding can help prevent further recession.

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.
