Question 2

What's the most effective way to treat a mucocele and prevent it from coming back would laser surgery work better than a scalpel or are there other options I should consider

Accepted Answer

For oral mucoceles, both laser surgery and surgical excision (with a scalpel) can be effective. Laser surgery, like CO2 laser, may offer advantages like minimal scarring, faster healing, and less discomfort, particularly for pediatric patients. However, surgical excision, especially if it includes removal of the surrounding salivary gland and duct, can be very effective in preventing recurrence. The best approach depends on the specific case, the patient's preferences, and the dentist's expertise.

Question 3

I've been thinking about cosmetic jaw surgery to improve my smile and fix my jaw alignment, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. What are the pros and cons of getting this done? Also, how much does it usually cost in India? I'm a bit worried about recovery and potential risks but really want a better-looking jawline.

Accepted Answer

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

My blood pressure is around 115/86 to 130/91 is it safe for me to get my impacted wisdom tooth removed? I'm a bit worried about the surgery with these readings, what do you think?

Many authors debate on this, but a general rule is that if the systolic blood pressure is over 179 and diastolic blood pressure is over 109, any dental procedure and surgical procedures become risky. So, 180/110 is the cutoff for any oral surgical procedure
