View allI'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?
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.

I got my wisdom teeth out five days ago and couldn't keep down the pain medication because it made me sick the first day. Now there's a big hard lump in my cheek that hasn't gone away. I've been icing it and taking the amoxicillin like I was told to prevent infection, but there's still this awful taste in my mouth and the pain is just too much. I saw the oral surgeon yesterday, but all they did was open my mouth and send me home, telling me to rest. What should I do now?
While some swelling and discomfort are normal after wisdom tooth removal, the pain and ongoing symptoms you're describing need to be addressed. Since you're already on antibiotics and have been to the surgeon, it may be helpful to follow up soon for a more thorough check, especially if you think the pain and lump are related to an infection or dry socket. Dont hesitate to let your surgeon know if the pain persists or if new symptoms develop.

What tests do I need to get done before having my teeth pulled for implant surgery? I'm a bit nervous about the process and want to make sure everything's covered before we start. Are there specific blood tests or scans required to check if I'm a good candidate for implants?
CBC, blood sugar, clotting profile, and a dental CBCT scan are usually required before implant surgery.
