Hi,
from what you have mentioned above, it seems that you have got diabetes which is usually associated with the above symptoms. It is advisable to consult a diabetologist and get your condition treated. For dry mouth, you need to increase saliva secretion in your mouth. This can be achieved by increasing your fluid intake and by drinking lot of water. Sugar free gums are available in the market which can also help in increasing salivary production.

Most commonly bad breath is due to deposits on your teeth and gums that you need to get clean. Your dentist can further explain to you proper brushing techniques which should be twice a day alongwith flossing.

Shared 4 months ago • Featured Tip
A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. The common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma. The term "root canal" comes from cleaning of the canals inside the tooth's root.
Millions of teeth are treated and saved each year with root canal, or endodontic, treatment. Learn more about root canal treatment and how it can relieve your tooth pain and save your smile.
The Procedure-
-
A root canal procedure begins with an X-ray to determine the shape of the root canals and whether the infection has spread to the adjoining bone.
-
Local anesthesia is then administered to numb the affected area.
-
A rubber sheet is then placed around the tooth to keep the area and prevent it from the saliva.
-
A hole is then drilled in the affected tooth, following which the decayed pulp and nerve tissues are removed.
-
The removal is done by using root canal files which are inserted into the hole and then used to scrape and scrub the insides of the tooth.
-
After the scraping, water is used to clean and flush out the debris.
-
After the tooth is cleaned, it is sealed after administering medications to prevent infection.
-
The sealing process involves filling the inner portion of the teeth by a rubber based compound and a sealer paste.
Modern endodontic treatment is very similar to having a routine filling and usually can be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. You can expect a comfortable experience during and after your appointment.
-
Saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment has many advantages:
-
Efficient chewing
-
Normal biting force and sensation
-
Natural appearance
-
Protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain
Post-obturation:
-
Once the surgery is done, the tooth may become sensitive due to inflammation of the tissues for the first few days.
-
This pain and inflammation can be limited by pain medications such as ibuprofen.
-
It is advised to avoid any chewing by the affected teeth as it can slow down the repair process. You can brush and floss your teeth regularly.
If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a dentist.

If you have quite the habit of tobacco chewing then I had started your priliamnary treatment. From now onwards never ever consume tobacco products in any form. No need to worry just take some antoxidants increase amount of tomatoes in it diet. And wait for some days to watch the results
Till then you can apply kenakort gel on your lesions in inside cheeks. AFTER 15 TO 20 DAYS consult me on my private consultancy
GOOD LUCK.

Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need deep cleaning along with surgical, gum strengthening procedure. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouth wash after every meals. Use pepsodent tooth paste & gum paint for 2 to 3 weeks. Advance procedures can be done with laser. Dental tips: - visit a dentist every six months for cleaning and a thorough dental check-up. Limit sugary food to avoid tooth decay. Gargle your mouth thoroughly after every meal. Scrub gently to clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner. Floss all your teeth inter dentally & brush twice daily, morning & night, up & down short vertical strokes, with ultra-soft bristles, indicator brush. Tooth brush to be changed every 2 months.

You can definitely go for replacement with implant and the cost varies from clinic to clinic. There are too many implant companies, go with what your dentist is comfortable with as at the end of the day it is him who has to do the procedure. Also I do not think so that ayurveda can replace your teeth.

there is a general approach and a specific approach as per individual patients metabolic profile.
i will give you a general approach to try for 4 weeks. If this works then continue. If not enough then consult to get treatment as per metabolic status.
1. do not eat anything sugary or sweet.
2. eat plenty of salad in lunch and dinner
3. do atleast 30 min of exercise every day of any kind

The type of treatment you have for toothache will depend on the cause of the pain, so your dentist will examine your mouth and may carry out an X-ray to try to identify the problem.
•If your toothache is caused by tooth decay, your dentist will remove the decayed area and replace it with a filling.
•If your toothache is caused by a loose or broken filling, the filling will be taken out, any decay will be removed and a new filling put in place.
•If the pulp inside your tooth is infected, you may need root canal treatment. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp and then inserting a special type of filling to seal the tooth and prevent re-infection.
•If your toothache can't be treated using these methods, or if your tooth is impacted (wedged between another tooth and your jaw), it may need to be removed.

Hi, there are two most common reasons of bad breath in young age, either gum disease or dry mouth. You should get teeth cleaned and take good water intake. If problem persists, you need to visit an oral medicine specialist for complete management.
