Dear , good evening - there is a treatment protocol - clearpath or invisalgin - it can be done by anyone who has been doing it. Basically it is a carry home system and you are responsible for wearing and correctly using the same. Of course it is hardly visible - but if you do not wear as expected do not expect the desired results too. The cost could be a bit discouraging as all the work is done outside the country and shipped to the dental surgeon who again guides you to the same.

It may be due to the taste of the shake, change the flavor of your shake then see ,if it continues then stop taking it.

Hello, it could be because of improper root canal treatment or crown fixation. So better go to your doctor again n explain your problem. Be happy.

Dear Lybrate user, you should consult for restoration of carious teeth and root canal treatment of the deep carious/painful teeth. Wisdom teeth are 3rd moller which always call pain during eruption. Wait for eruption of your wisdom teeth.

U can have your teeth cleaned (scaling) by a dentist to solve gum problems. And you can use tooth paste like 1. Sensodyne rapid relief 2. Colgate sensitive pro relief to prevent sensitivity.

Use hydent k paste. Apply first on your teeth and gums and leave for 10 min. After that brush your teeth. With same toothpaste.

Straightening if any crooked tooth depends on many factors like space it has ,size of tooth crown and root. Normally it takes around 1 year for normal correction and charges starts from around 30k. You can check with a dentist near you for better consultation after clinical check up.

If your mouth opening is limited, you should perform exercise regularly like 3 finger in the mouth. Regarding pain of upper tooth you should take the opinion of your dentist regarding its treatment whether it needs root canal treatment or extraction is necessary. Do not take painkillers urself, consult your dentist soon.

Dear Lybrate user, fennel seed can not cause any bad effect in limited use. Excess use of anything is always dangerous. You can use it in limit. Or quite them.
