My wisdom teeth are half in and half out of my gums, causing pain and swelling off and on. The issue flares up for a week or so, then goes away for a few months before coming back. I really don't want surgery is there any way to manage the pain and swelling permanently?

The recurring pain and swelling around your partially erupted wisdom teeth, known as pericoronitis, can be managed through a combination of home care and professional dental treatments. While surgery might be a long-term solution, there are ways to control the symptoms and prevent or minimize future flares.

View allI'm dealing with a really stubborn mouth ulcer that hasn't healed in three days. I've been taking B complex tablets twice a day and using zytee gel on it, but there's no improvement. Can you help me figure out what's going on or what else I can do?
Given your symptoms, here's a suggested order of specialists to consult: *Initial Consultation* 1. *General Physician*: Start with a general physician to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the pain. *Specialized Consultation* 2. *Orthopedist*: If the general physician suspects a musculoskeletal issue, consult an orthopedist. They can assess and address potential issues with your bones, joints, or muscles. *Alternative or Additional Therapy* 3. *Physiotherapist*: A physiotherapist can help with pain management, improve mobility, and strengthen muscles. They can be consulted in conjunction with an orthopedist or as a follow-up appointment. *Pain Specialist (Optional)* 4. *Pain Specialist*: If your pain persists and is severe, you may want to consult a pain specialist. They can help manage chronic pain and develop a customized treatment plan.

I've been dealing with a toothache for the past couple of days. There's a cavity, and it's been really painful, especially since this evening. I can't even drink cold water because it hurts so much. Can you suggest something that might help?
-You can try rinsing with warm salt water to reduce pain and inflammation. Applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek may also help numb the area. However, it's best to see a dentist soon to get the cavity treated.
