Question 1

My front teeth are shifting outward and my gums are bleeding a lot. Is RCT needed for these teeth and how much would it cost per tooth? Can this be fixed permanently? Also, will I need gum surgery for the bleeding? What kind of dental cap would you suggest for front teeth and what's the usual price for that?

Question 2

I'm brushing my teeth twice a day, once in the morning and once after dinner, using Colgate toothpaste and an Oral B brush. I brush for over 10 minutes each time, but I noticed these black spots on my teeth that aren't going away. In fact, they seem to be getting worse and are now on five of my teeth. What could be causing these spots and what can I do about it?

Accepted Answer

dark spots on teeth due to 2 reasons
1. caries
2. Smoking tea coffee tobacco staining.
you need to visit the dentist. brush and paste is just a medium to clean your teeth. Only brushing proper way does the cleaning. don't believe in TV adds they show all blah blah.. visit nearest general dentist. all the best for happy smiling

Question 3

I'm dealing with this mild pain near my left jaw, just below the ear, and it's been happening on and off for about six months now. I saw an ENT specialist, and they had me get an X-ray of my mouth both open and closed, but everything looked normal. I'm starting to wonder what my next move should be. Is this pain something I should be worried about, or is it likely nothing serious?

Accepted Answer

Generally, 2-3 weeks after septoplasty and MMA surgery, you can start wearing a mask.

However, consider the following:

- Choose a soft, breathable mask (e.g., cotton or surgical mask)
- Avoid tight-fitting masks or N95 masks that may put pressure on your nose
- Gently place the mask over your nose and mouth, avoiding excessive tension

Consult your surgeon or healthcare provider for personalized advice, as they may have specific recommendations based on your individual situation.

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.
