View allMy brother in the US got an xray showing his wisdom teeth are growing abnormally - 3 teeth with 2 in weird positions. The doctors there recommended removal surgery. He's coming to Mumbai in September for treatment. Is surgery the only option here? Who would be the best specialist to consult for this in Mumbai?
Wisdom teeth surgery is typically the best option for abnormal growth or positioning, especially if they cause pain or potential dental complications. In Mumbai, top oral surgeons or maxillofacial specialists can assess your brother’s case. Look for experts at dental hospitals like Dr. Kothari’s Dental Clinic or Smile Essentials.

my jaw has been swollen for the past 4 months and it keeps getting worse day by day is surgery the only option or are there other treatments that could help
Swollen jaw pain is often treatable without surgery. If the swelling is caused by a dental problem (like an abscess or periodontal disease), antibiotics or dental procedures (root canal, extraction, etc.) might be needed. If it's due to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues, treatments like physical therapy, medication, or a night guard can help. If the swelling is caused by a tumor or cancer, surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy might be necessary. It's crucial to see a doctor or dentist to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

My son had cleft surgery 9 years ago but now his upper and lower jaws don't seem aligned properly His lower lip is protruding and looks thicker What should be done next and is there a recommended age for further treatment
Post-cleft jaw misalignment often needs orthodontics or orthognathic surgery; ideal age is after growth completion, usually mid to late teens.
