I've hurt the inside of my mouth while brushing my teeth and it's been really painful for about three days now. It's started affecting my teeth because of an ulcer. What can I do to help with the pain? I'm really struggling with this.

You may have developed a mouth ulcer due to the injury. To help with the pain and promote healing, you can use a topical oral gel containing Choline Salicylate and Cetalkonium Chloride. Apply the gel directly to the ulcer 3-4 times a day after meals and at bedtime. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg tablets as needed for pain relief. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the ulcer.

My tooth number 47 has grade 3 mobility is it possible to save it with surgery and bone grafts or is it too far gone? What are my options here?

Grade 3 mobility often indicates severe damage. Bone grafting and splinting may help, but extraction is likely if the supporting bone is too compromised.

I've been having pain while chewing and got two different opinions one periodontist said I have deep pockets and infection needing flap surgery, but another dentist looked at a local xray and said RCT is enough instead of surgery. Can you check if the xray shows a tooth infection or gum issue and what treatment would actually help?

X-ray can't confirm flap surgery need alone; deep pockets mean gum surgery, while periapical infection near root suggests RCT‚ÄîCBCT imaging can clarify.
