Question 1

I've got this minor swelling in my mouth, and while it's not causing me any pain, it's become quite noticeable. I haven't taken any medicine for it since it's not really bothering me in terms of chewing or giving me a toothache. My mouth doesn't feel dry either, but I'm still concerned. Should I be worried about this swelling, or is it something that might go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing a minor dental issue. The noticeable swelling without pain could be due to a variety of reasons such as an infection or inflammation. I would recommend using an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help reduce the swelling. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help with any discomfort. If the swelling persists or worsens, it is best to consult with a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 2

I've been dealing with really bad tooth pain for the past two days. I've already tried the painkillers, ketorol dt, but it still hurts a lot. What else can I do for relief? Is there something else you would recommend? This pain is really getting to me.

Accepted Answer

pain could be because of tooth decay you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. Get an x-ray done if required. If there is cavity get it filled. If there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated.

Question 5

I accidentally swallowed my tooth, and I'm really worried about what might happen. Could this harm my stomach? Should I get in touch with a doctor right away? Is there any chance this could be dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry, swallowing a tooth is generally harmless and rarely causes significant issues; the tooth will likely pass through your digestive system without being digested, and come out intact in your stool within a few days
