I've noticed a gap between my upper teeth and I'm really curious about what the process is like to fill it. How long does something like that usually take? And also, what should I expect in terms of cost?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To fill the gap between your upper teeth, your dentist may recommend options like dental bonding or veneers. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to an hour per tooth, depending on the treatment. The cost can vary widely, typically ranging from $100 to $800 per tooth.

View allI've been noticing that when I wake up in the morning and spit out the saliva that's built up overnight, it's yellow. I've tried brushing my teeth before going to bed and even using mouthwash, but it still happens. It's been a problem for the past couple of months. Any idea what might be causing this?
This can be due to conditions like dry mouth, sinus infections, or even acid reflux. I would recommend using an antibacterial mouthwash like Listerine twice daily and staying hydrated throughout the day. If the issue persists, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums for acid reflux. If symptoms continue, consult a doctor 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?

I've been experiencing some discomfort whenever I open my mouth wide, like when I'm eating or brushing my teeth. It's a pain on the left side of my jaw near the ear. I haven't hurt myself or anything like that. Could you tell me what might be causing this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing jaw exercises to improve jaw mobility may also be beneficial. In some cases, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine may be prescribed by a healthcare provider. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a dentist or an oral surgeon for further evaluation and management.
