Toothpaste usually have no effect on tooth pain. It can provide temporary relief in case of sensitivity only. So avoid these methods and visit any dentist.

Bad breath due to gum infection or food accumulation. Get professional cleaning done by dentist. Brush twice, floss your teeth, get your cavities filled if you have any one. Clean your tounge also daily. Do not have food which has more odour like garlic and raw onions.

12 years is really very long time for this stubborn ulcers. Kenacort and other topical gels will not work in these type of ulcers. May be oral tablets or capsules can work. But not without proper diagnosis. If you have ulcers at other body parts like eyes, gonads, stomach, intestine etc, you required thorough investigation for actual cause of oral ulcers. If they are limited to mouth only and changing place of occurrence each time (recurrent Aphthous stomatitis), it can be cured permanently with advanced LASER ablation. Visit or consult dental oral medicine and /or periodontist specialists in your area.

Do not use dettol as a mouth wash. Stop dettol. Sensation will come back by itself. Rather do cleaning of your tongue.

Hi lybrate-user, hernnioplasty is a procedure in which surgeon uses a mesh which is placed either under or over the defect in the abdominal wall and held in place by a few sutures. Mesh acts as "scaffolding" for new growth of a patient's own tissue, which eventually incorporates the mesh into the surrounding area. It moves when the patient moves to provide you more comfort. Since there is no bump, you have nothing to worry about. I would suggest not to do any exercises which puts pressure on your groin. If you still want to be sure, you can get an USG lower abdomen done. Hope this helps. Good luck.

The type of treatment you have for toothache /sensitivity/swelling 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 / sensitivity/swelling is caused by tooth decay, your dentist will remove the decayed area and replace it with a filling. •If your toothache / sensitivity/swelling 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 / sensitivity/swelling 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.

Quit habits strictly. Seems like you have oral submucous fibrosis (osmf). Kindly consult an oral & maxillo facial surgeon in person for further suggestion.
