I've had a tongue ulcer for about three days now. It's on the lower right side and doesn't hurt much unless I touch it. I've been using zytee gel, but it hasn't helped yet and I'm starting to get worried. Could this be an early sign of oral cancer? I've also got some broken teeth and other dental issues. Any advice?

Accidental Ingestion of Cigarette Ash-Contaminated Water
Don't panic: The risks associated with ingesting small amounts of cigarette ash are relatively low.
Possible effects:
- Gastrointestinal upset: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort may occur due to the toxic substances present in cigarette ash.
- Nicotine absorption: Although unlikely, small amounts of nicotine might be absorbed into the bloodstream, potentially causing:
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Increased heart rate
- Chemical exposure: Cigarette ash contains various chemicals, including heavy metals and carcinogens. However, the amounts ingested are likely to be minimal.
Recommended actions:
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system.
- Monitor your health: Keep an eye on your symptoms and seek medical attention if you experience severe or persistent effects.
- Consider medical evaluation: If you're concerned or experience any severe symptoms, consult a doctor or visit an emergency room.
Precautions for the future:
- Avoid ingesting contaminated substances: Be more mindful of your surroundings and the substances you ingest.
- Keep toxic substances out of reach: Ensure that cigarette ash and other hazardous materials are disposed of properly and kept away from food and water.

My 3D xray shows the root canal is overextended but my dentist says it was done on purpose to clean out infection at the tip and he placed some medication there. He also mentioned I might need minor surgery for the labial bone part. Does this explanation make sense medically? I'm a bit confused about the report and want to understand if this treatment approach is correct
Actually your case is of external root resorption in which a part of root is dissolved may be becoz of infection or any old trauma. So the root canal filling which may be normal at that Time and now its overextended. So dont worry its not a big deal. Either u can treated by re rct (repeat root canal) or by the small root resection surgery.
