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 noticing these small lumps on my body for about 10 years now. Is there a specific type of doctor I should consult for this? I'm really curious about what kind of treatment options might be available. Any advice would be really appreciated.

The small lumps on your body could be lipomas, which are usually harmless fatty tumors under the skin. You can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, if the lipomas are causing symptoms or cosmetic concerns, they can be removed surgically. However, if the lumps are due to other causes, the treatment may vary. It is best to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
