You may need deep cleaning along with surgical curettage or gum strengthening procedure. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouth wash after every meal. Use pepsodent tooth paste & gum paint for 2 to 3 weeks. Advance procedures can be done with laser. You may consult me in person.

I understand your frustration and concern about the chronic painful bumps appearing on your tongue after singing, eating meat, or spicy food. While I can't diagnose your specific condition or offer medical advice, I can provide some information and suggestions that might be helpful: possible causes of your symptoms: transient lingual papillitis: this is a common condition that causes small, red bumps to appear on the tongue. It's often called "lie bumps" and is thought to be caused by irritation from hot, spicy foods, acidic drinks, or even vigorous oral hygiene practices. It usually resolves on its own within a few days. Glossitis: this is inflammation of the tongue that can cause bumps, pain, and burning sensations. It can be caused by various factors, including infections, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, or side effects of medication. Tongue cancer: while less common, it's important to rule out the possibility of cancer, especially if the bumps don't resolve on their own, bleed easily, or are accompanied by other symptoms like hoarseness, weight loss, or difficulty swallowing. Based on your description, transient lingual papillitis seems like a possible cause. However, it's important to seek an accurate diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional, preferably an ent specialist or dentist with experience in oral conditions. In the meantime, here are some things you can try: practice good oral hygiene: brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day. Use a gentle toothbrush and avoid harsh mouthwashes. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day: this can help soothe irritation and promote healing. Avoid irritants: this includes hot, spicy, acidic foods, and alcohol. You might also want to avoid tobacco products. Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mouth moist. Consider using over-the-counter pain relievers: ibuprofen or acetaminophen might help temporarily manage the pain. Remember: don't ignore persistent or worsening symptoms. Seek medical attention if the bumps don't improve within a few days, become larger or more painful, bleed easily, or are accompanied by other concerning symptoms. Focus on gentle care for your tongue. Avoid any further irritation through aggressive brushing or scraping. Document your symptoms and triggers: this information can be helpful for your doctor in making an accurate diagnosis. I hope this information is helpful and provides some direction as you seek appropriate medical care. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.

While I understand your desire to avoid medication if possible, I strongly advise against skipping the medications your dentist prescribed for your pericoronitis and partially erupted wisdom tooth. Here's why: importance of medication: infection prevention: pericoronitis is an inflammation of the gum tissue surrounding a partially erupted tooth, making it prone to infection. Antibiotics like augmentin 625 help prevent and control bacterial infections. Inflammation reduction: zero dol contains ibuprofen, which effectively reduces inflammation and pain associated with pericoronitis. Gum healing: orahelp gel contains hyaluronan, which promotes tissue healing and soothes the inflamed gum flap. Oral hygiene: hydroxyl peroxide betadine mouthwash helps control bacteria and maintain oral hygiene, crucial for preventing further infection. Consequences of skipping medication: worsening of infection: skipping antibiotics can lead to a worsening infection, causing more pain, swelling, and potentially requiring stronger medication or even surgical intervention. Prolonged pain and discomfort: ibuprofen helps manage the pain associated with pericoronitis, allowing you to function more comfortably during the healing process. Delayed healing: skipping orahelp gel may prolong the healing of the inflamed gum flap. Considering your situation: early stage: if your pericoronitis is mild and you haven't experienced significant pain or swelling, it's tempting to think the medication isn't necessary. However, even mild cases can progress quickly, making prevention crucial. Partial eruption: the gum flap covering part of your wisdom tooth creates a pocket vulnerable to food debris and bacteria, increasing infection risk. Medication plays a key role in protecting against this. Dentist's advice: your dentist has assessed your specific situation and prescribed the medication based on their professional judgment. Trusting their expertise is vital for optimal healing. Remember: the side effects of these medications are generally mild and manageable, especially given the short duration of the prescribed course. Avoiding medication may lead to longer-term discomfort and potentially more invasive interventions in the future. Alternatives to consider: discuss over-the-counter pain relievers (like paracetamol) if ibuprofen doesn't agree with you. Explore alternative topical solutions for gum healing if you have concerns about orahelp gel. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to take the medication is yours. However, I strongly recommend following your dentist's advice and completing the prescribed course for optimal healing and infection prevention. I hope this information helps you make an informed decision regarding your medication. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

I understand your concern about receding gums and wanting to improve your dental hygiene. However, I can't provide specific medical advice or treatment recommendations. It's important to consult a qualified dental professional to get an accurate diagnosis and discuss the best treatment options for your individual situation. Here's what I can do to help: 1. Encourage you to schedule an appointment with a dentist or periodontist (gum specialist). They can assess your gum recession severity, determine the underlying cause, and recommend the most effective treatment plan. 2. Provide some general information on receding gums and potential treatment options: causes of receding gums: tobacco use is a major risk factor, but other causes include aggressive brushing, misaligned teeth, and even genetics. Treatment options: depending on the severity of your recession, various options might be available. These can include: non-surgical treatments: scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), topical antibiotics, mouthwashes, and desensitizing agents. Surgical treatments: gum grafting, flap surgery, bone grafting, and regenerative techniques. Cost: it's difficult to give an accurate cost estimate without a proper dental assessment. The cost can vary depending on the treatment recommended, your location, and insurance coverage. Location: you mentioned being in jammu. There are likely qualified dentists and periodontists in your area. You can search online or ask your local doctor for recommendations. Time needed: the time needed for treatment depends on the chosen method. Non-surgical procedures usually take less time than surgeries. 3. Emphasize the importance of good oral hygiene: brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing daily, and using a mouthwash can significantly improve your oral health and prevent further gum recession. Remember, early intervention is key. So, scheduling a dental appointment as soon as possible is crucial for getting the right diagnosis and discussing the best treatment options for your situation. I hope this information helps! wishing you the best in improving your dental hygiene.

The keratin formed on the top of our tongues is knocked off and swallowed when we eat our meals. Normally the amount of keratin produced is equal to the amount knocked off, and our tongues appear normal. Sometimes this balance is upset, however, and the condition called “coated tongue” results. This increased production of keratin is usually due to irritation of the top of the tongue due to drinking hot beverages or smoking tobacco. A throat swab with koh staining and throat culture shows positive for candida albicans. It is basically that of the degree of keratin accumulation in the tongue. With coated tongue, the accumulation is not severe. Generally, the most effective treatment for this condition is the daily use of a tongue scraper, which removes the dead keratinized cells from the top of the tongue. Stopping or reducing any habits that might cause irritation (smoking, regular consumption of soft drinks) to the top of the tongue also usually helps reduce the problem. Of course it is important to realize that this is a harmless condition, and if it doesn’t cause too many symptoms, it really doesn’t require treatment.
