Question 2

I'm trying to figure out how much it might cost to have an oral fibroma surgically removed. It's on the inside of my cheek and developed because my braces keep rubbing against it. Any idea what the cost could be?

Accepted Answer

The cost of surgically removing an oral fibroma can range from 5,000 to 50,000  or more, depending on factors like location, surgeon's expertise, hospital or clinic fees, and the complexity of the procedure, and in your case, since the fibroma is caused by friction from braces, your orthodontist or oral surgeon may recommend a simple excision procedure under local anesthesia.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because four days after having my wisdom tooth taken out from the lower left side, I suddenly started noticing this strange taste in my mouth. Ive been sticking to all the instructions and prescriptions my doctor provided, and thankfully theres no pain. But this odd taste is concerning. What could it be, and should I do something about it?

Accepted Answer

Could be a sign of infection. It's good that you have no pain, but the odd taste may indicate an issue. I recommend using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate to help with the taste and prevent infection. You can also take antibiotics like amoxicillin to treat any infection that may be present. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor. If the odd taste persists, it's best to consult your dentist for further evaluation.
