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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Grade 3 mobility often indicates severe damage. Bone grafting and splinting may help, but extraction is likely if the supporting bone is too compromised.

View allI'm trying to find the safest mouthwash to use in India because I've heard that some mouthwashes with alcohol might be linked to oral cancer. Is this something I should be worried about? I'm currently using Listerine, but I'm wondering if there are any better options out there. Could you suggest something?
The best alcohol-free mouthwash available in India is Colgate Plax. It is effective in killing germs and providing long-lasting fresh breath. Since you are concerned about the potential link between alcohol-containing mouthwashes and oral cancer, it is advisable to switch to an alcohol-free option like Colgate Plax. Use it twice a day after brushing your teeth, with 20ml undiluted for 30 seconds.

I've been prescribed both amoxicillin and diazepam, and my dentist mentioned it's okay to take them together. But I just came across some information suggesting it might not be safe. I'm a bit worried because I've already taken both. Can you clarify if there's any risk with combining these medications?

I've got this infection on my tongue, and it feels like I've bitten both sides of it. It's been going on for almost a week now, and I'm in pain. What do you think I should do?
I recommend using an antifungal medication like clotrimazole oral troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for about two weeks. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that may irritate your tongue further.
