Dr. A Sudha

Hi lybrate-user, I appreciate you seeking help. Apparently, it is an abscess that requires treatment. Advise connect with an ENT specialist who can clinically examine and recommend further treatment as appropriate. Should this problem persist still, you can always connect with me for further integrative naturopathic traction as would be contextually appropriate in your case. In the meantime, suggest stay well hydrated, and keep up your diet/ lifestyle. You can gargle (only) with either warm saline water or any anti-microbial mouth rinse/ gargle three times daily for the next couple of days. Hope this helps. Take care, and all the very best. Sincerely,

If used too frequently, it can erode the enamel of teeth and you may end up with sensitivity to cold and hot drinks & food items.

Hi. Yes the space can be closed here only if you maintain your oral hygiene. Pyrrhoea indicates that there is some kind of negligence towards your oral hygiene. Rinse your mouth properly after eating anything especially after eating soft, sugary and sticky foods. Brush twice daily. Brushing at night time before going to bed is a must. Visit a dentist for Scaling/Cleaning of your teeth. He / She may prescribe you antibiotics as well.

Before taking any medicines you have to consult a dentist because jaw and ear pain is something related to your temperomandibular joint. That is the joint between your jaw and your skull. There might be some problem with the joint. So refer a dentist as soon as possible.

U need to consult a Dentist or better an oral surgeon as d swelling may be a salivary stone or acute trauma causing swelling. Need an examination.

Dear there is absolutely no link between the two problems. Get your teeth and eyes checked from seperate specialists. Take care god bless.

Hello Lybrate user, yes braces are possible at your age too, im surprised why your doctor didn't gave you that option. Gaps can easily be closed by braces. Also there are other options like veneers and laminates for closing the gaps. Hope this helps.

Flossing is as important as brushing on a daily basis. Taking the floss all the way down to the point where the teeth and gums meet is the appropriate way of doing it.

HI lybrate-user. It is because of the weak gums. Take proper treatment. With a dentist. And then homoeopathic treatment to make the gums stronger.

Please take opinion of a dentist, as a gp, I can suggest to you that dentures will be a better choice compared to implants. Bones get hollow with age, call it osteoporosis & it is part of ageing process, despite good intake of calcium & vit. D & a high proten diet with moderate exercise which are good for heart & also for regeneration of bone cells, well to a minial extent only. We lose hair with age and only lucky few can retain their teeth. Implants are for fairly young people 7 they do become a part of body if fitted even around 40+ but they do get shed when wear and tear of bones including bones of palate start to degenerate. He has had angioplasty also, but that will not affect bone health or dental health, rather due to dietary care, he would be better off about his bone health but I would not suggest implant at 70+, specially when we have good dentures that help the person eat & feel good during the day & needs removal at night.
