Hey there, thw white patches have appeared because of the fixed prosthesis. Either it is reaction to the crown material or it is due to constant friction between the prosthesis and your cheek.

The patches will go only after prosthesis removal which is not advisable.
* apply vaseline/glycerine over the local area to keep the region moist.
* apply turmeric paste with glycerine locally over the lesions (massage do not rub)

take extra oral hygiene measures using twice a day brushing, flossing, mouth rinses. many medications can cause dry mouth that can lead to more problems with teeth. so frequent sipping of water and salivary substitutes can help.

Hi Lybrate user,
it's a psychological problem.
See, phle waha plaque and calculus tha and ab woh remove ho gya hai toh obviously apka tongue wha jayega hi.
And isse preshan nhi hona k bht salivation ho rha hai. Better salivation better cleansing action.
Kuch din mai resolve ho jayega do not take any stress for that.
Thank you.

Yes scaling helps. When there are deposits on teeth, due to them gum recedes leading to exposed root surface in mouth on which you feel sensitivity. More the deposits more sensitivity you will feel after scaling, but that is going to be temporary. After scaling you need to follow instructions thoroughly, if you don't, problem can recur. Just because sensitivity might increase for a week doesn't mean that you will not get your scaling done. If you don't get scaling done then deposits will continu...more
