I've got some swelling in my inner cheek, right near the last teeth on the lower jaw on the right side, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and how can I get some relief?

You may be experiencing swelling due to an infection in your mouth. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the discomfort and inflammation. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce swelling. If the swelling persists or worsens, please consult with a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been getting this small white pearl-like lump on the roof of my mouth. It seems to come and go, sometimes pretty quickly, and other times it keeps popping up. I'm wondering if this is something to worry about or if it's a common thing. Any idea what it might be?

That needs evaluation,visit ENT docotro for the same and appropriate management

I have a cavity in my molar and there's some skin growing over it. My dentist suggested surgery to remove the skin first and then treat the cavity. Is this the best approach or are there other options I should consider? I'm a bit nervous about the procedure.
