I've had an oral mucous retention cyst for about a year and a half now. I ignored it at first, but now I want to get rid of it. Is surgery the only way to remove it, or are there antibiotics that can help? If I do get surgery, will the stitches dissolve on their own and how long does that usually take? Also, will there be a permanent scar after it's removed?

Oral mucous retention cysts usually require surgery for removal, as antibiotics won’t solve the problem. The stitches used during surgery are often dissolvable, and scarring can be minimal, depending on the surgery technique.

View allIt's been 3 days since I got my left upper and lower wisdom teeth removed, but my left temple keeps hurting nonstop and I can't sleep at night. Plus, the left side of my tongue still feels numb what's going on? Is this normal or should I be worried?
It's possible your symptoms are related to a few things after wisdom tooth removal, including a dry socket, nerve damage, or inflammation. While some pain and numbness are normal after surgery, severe or persistent pain, particularly in the temple, and a numb tongue lasting more than a few days warrant a call to your dentist or oral surgeon.

Does a dentist's experience really make a difference when it comes to smooth wisdom tooth removal or spotting oral issues like tooth pain? Could choosing a less experienced dentist increase the chances of complications after surgery?
Yes, a dentist's experience does significantly impact the outcome of wisdom tooth removal and the ability to accurately diagnose and treat oral issues like tooth pain. Choosing a less experienced dentist can increase the chances of complications after surgery, such as nerve damage or infection, and may also delay or lead to an incorrect diagnosis for pain

how much does it usually cost to get an oral fibroma removed from the inner cheek mine happened because my braces kept rubbing against it and now i'm worried about the surgery
The cost of oral fibroma removal can vary depending on location and the healthcare facility, It's a minor outpatient procedure done under local anesthesia and usually takes less than 30 minutes. Since it developed due to irritation from braces, removal is safe and recurrence is unlikely if the cause is addressed.
