My wisdom tooth on the right side is causing extreme pain, and my dentist recommended extraction. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery? I'm really worried about going under the knife is there a way to manage this without removing the tooth?

View allI'm really having a hard time with my wisdom teeth coming in since there's no space for them. It's tearing my skin in the mouth and I've also been dealing with some painful canker sores right next to that tooth for the past few days. My right jaw is a bit swollen, and the pain is just unbearable. I feel feverish with a mild headache. What should I do to get some relief?
It sounds like you're experiencing a painful situation with your wisdom teeth, possibly leading to infection or irritation. I recommend rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater to soothe the pain, using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, and applying a topical ointment for the canker sores. However, given the swelling, fever, and persistent pain, it's important to see a dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible to assess if theres an infection or need for extraction.

What's the most effective way to treat a mucocele and prevent it from coming back would laser surgery work better than a scalpel or are there other options I should consider
For oral mucoceles, both laser surgery and surgical excision (with a scalpel) can be effective. Laser surgery, like CO2 laser, may offer advantages like minimal scarring, faster healing, and less discomfort, particularly for pediatric patients. However, surgical excision, especially if it includes removal of the surrounding salivary gland and duct, can be very effective in preventing recurrence. The best approach depends on the specific case, the patient's preferences, and the dentist's expertise.

I recently had surgery to remove a cyst near my front tooth in the upper jawline, and the bone in that area has melted. How long does it usually take for the bone to regenerate after something like this? Also, what are the chances of the cyst coming back and is there anything I can do to prevent it from recurring?
Bone healing usually takes 3–6 months; recurrence risk is low if properly cleaned—regular dental follow-up helps.
