My upper teeth don't show when I talk or smile, and I also have an underbite. Would I need upper jaw surgery to make my teeth visible? How complicated is that procedure and what's the cost? Are there any non-surgical options to fix this?

View allIt's been 3 days since I got my left upper and lower wisdom teeth removed, but my left temple keeps hurting nonstop and I can't sleep at night. Plus, the left side of my tongue still feels numb what's going on? Is this normal or should I be worried?
It's possible your symptoms are related to a few things after wisdom tooth removal, including a dry socket, nerve damage, or inflammation. While some pain and numbness are normal after surgery, severe or persistent pain, particularly in the temple, and a numb tongue lasting more than a few days warrant a call to your dentist or oral surgeon.

I've been chewing gutkha for about 5 years and noticed an ulcer on the gum near my upper wisdom tooth a month ago. I stopped the habit for two weeks and the ulcer healed, but theres still a skin growth at the jaw joint and pain when I open my mouth. I visited a surgical oncologist who mentioned it might be a premalignant condition like leukoplakia with white discoloration. I was told to stop chewing entirely and given some supplements and a mouthwash. The tenderness mostly went away after 23 days, but now the pain at my wisdom tooth gum has returned. Do you think theres a high chance of this turning into cancer?

I've had an oral mucous retention cyst for about a year and a half now. I ignored it at first, but now I want to get rid of it. Is surgery the only way to remove it, or are there antibiotics that can help? If I do get surgery, will the stitches dissolve on their own and how long does that usually take? Also, will there be a permanent scar after it's removed?
Oral mucous retention cysts usually require surgery for removal, as antibiotics won’t solve the problem. The stitches used during surgery are often dissolvable, and scarring can be minimal, depending on the surgery technique.
