One of my teeth got slanted to the side after an injury and I'm not sure if this needs surgery or if there are other ways to fix it. What kind of treatment would work best for this and how does the procedure usually go?

If a tooth has shifted due to injury, an orthodontist or dentist can typically assess the situation and recommend a treatment plan. This may involve braces, clear aligners (like Invisalign), or in some cases, surgery to reposition the tooth and jaw.

View allI have a small mucocele under 1 cm on my lower lip that doesn't seem to be going away. Is it something to worry about if I don't want to get surgery for it?
A small mucocele (mucous cyst) on your lower lip, under 1 cm, is usually not a cause for immediate concern if it's not causing any pain, discomfort, or interfering with your ability to eat, talk, or swallow. However, it's best to monitor it and see a dentist if it persists for more than a few weeks or if you notice any changes.

My mouth won't open wide enough for a wisdom tooth extraction does this mean I'll need surgery to get it out? I'm really worried about how they'll do it if I can't open my jaw properly.
If you cannot open your mouth wide enough for a wisdom tooth extraction, it could indicate that jaw surgery is necessary to widen the mouth or reposition the tooth for easier removal.
