Tiny bumps on the base of the tongue are taste buds or papillae. Generally, the most effective treatment for black tongue 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. Black hairy tongue should be managed only with proper oral hygiene instructions.

I understand you're having trouble opening your mouth and are looking for medication options. However, i'm unable to provide medical advice or suggest specific medications like sm fibro. Determining the cause and treatment for mouth opening limitations requires a proper medical evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional. Here's what I can do to help: encourage you to schedule an appointment with your doctor or dentist: they can assess your situation, perform any necessary examinations, and determine the underlying cause of your limited mouth opening. Based on their diagnosis, they can recommend appropriate treatment options, which may or may not include medications. Provide some general information about mouth opening limitations: these limitations, also known as trismus, can have various causes, including temporomandibular joint (tmj) disorders, infections, muscle problems, and even tumors. Treatment options depend on the specific cause and may involve medications, physical therapy, oral appliances, or even surgery in some cases. Share some resources that you may find helpful: the american dental association: url/ the national institute of dental and craniofacial research: url Gov/ the mayo clinic: url/diseases-conditions/tmj/symptoms-causes/syc-20350941 remember, self-treating or taking medications without proper medical guidance can be dangerous. It's crucial to seek professional help for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. I hope this information is helpful. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.

I understand you're experiencing discomfort and pain in your mouth and jaw, and I want to help provide some guidance. However, I cannot diagnose medical conditions or offer specific medical advice. It's important to seek professional medical help for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. With that in mind, here are some general suggestions: seek medical attention: contact your dentist immediately: explain your symptoms and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. They can examine your mouth, diagnose the cause of your pain and swelling, and recommend the appropriate treatment. Consider emergency care if: you have difficulty breathing or swallowing. You have severe facial swelling or redness. You have a high fever. You experience intense, unrelieved pain. Possible causes: swollen taste buds: several factors can cause this, including allergies, irritation from dental appliances, oral thrush, or burning your tongue. Wisdom tooth issues: painful gum inflammation and swelling around wisdom teeth are common, especially if they're impacted or erupting. Tips to manage discomfort: gargle with warm salt water several times a day to soothe pain and swelling. Apply a cold compress to your cheek to reduce swelling and pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage mild pain. Avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foods that may irritate your tongue and mouth. Maintain good oral hygiene: brush and floss gently around the affected area to prevent further infection. Remember: don't try to diagnose yourself or ignore the symptoms. Seek professional medical advice to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Follow the dentist's instructions carefully to ensure proper healing. I hope this information provides some initial guidance and helps you find the right medical care. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I understand that you've been chewing tobacco for the past 15 years and have recently developed tobacco pouch keratosis, a condition that causes white patches to form inside the cheeks. You're also concerned about your inability to open your mouth fully and are looking for ways to quit tobacco completely. Addressing your tobacco pouch keratosis: cease tobacco use: the primary treatment for tobacco pouch keratosis is to completely stop using tobacco products, including chewing tobacco, paan masala, and zarda. This will allow the white patches to heal and reduce the risk of further complications. Regular dental checkups: maintain regular dental checkups to monitor the healing of the white patches and ensure your overall oral health is on track. Your dentist may also recommend additional treatments, such as cryotherapy or laser therapy, to speed up the healing process. Maintaining oral hygiene: practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing once a day, and using mouthwash. This helps remove bacteria and plaque that can contribute to oral health problems. Quitting tobacco: seek support from a healthcare professional: consult your doctor or a tobacco cessation specialist to discuss your specific needs and develop a personalized quitting plan. They can provide counseling, medication, and other resources to help you quit successfully. Consider nicotine replacement therapy (nrt): nrt products, such as patches, lozenges, and gum, can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings by providing a controlled dose of nicotine. Identify triggers and develop coping mechanisms: identify situations or activities that trigger your urge to use tobacco and develop strategies to cope with them without resorting to tobacco. Join support groups: connect with others who are trying to quit tobacco. Support groups can provide encouragement, motivation, and a sense of community. Be patient and persistent: quitting tobacco is a process, and setbacks are common. Don't get discouraged if you slip up. Acknowledge your progress, learn from the experience, and recommit to your goal. Remember, quitting tobacco is one of the best things you can do for your overall health. It can improve your oral health, reduce your risk of cancer, and enhance your quality of life. With determination and support, you can successfully quit tobacco and improve your well-being.

Sure, here are some mouth opening exercises that you can try: active jaw stretching exercise: hold your head still and open your mouth as wide as is comfortable for you. Hold for 10 seconds. Move your lower jaw to the left, hold for three seconds. Move your lower jaw to the right, hold for three seconds. Move your lower jaw in a circle to the left. Move your lower jaw in a circle to the right. Repeat five times, and do these three times a day 1. Passive stretching exercise: put your thumb on your top teeth in the middle of your jaw. Put the index finger of your other hand on your bottom teeth in the middle of your jaw. Open your mouth as wide as possible, using your fingers to give extra resistance. Hold this stretch for five to 10 seconds. Stop if you feel pain. Repeat this five times chin tucks: keeping good posture will help keep your neck and shoulders flexible. Stand with your back against a wall and your feet shoulder-width apart. Tuck your chin down toward your chest, and hold for three to five seconds. Repeat 10 times relaxed jaw exercise: rest your tongue gently on the roof of your mouth behind your upper front teeth. Allow your teeth to come apart while relaxing your jaw muscles. Hold this position for a few seconds. Then close your mouth and repeat this process several times.
