It's completely understandable to be worried about this situation. Leaving cotton in for 5 days after a tooth extraction can increase the risk of complications, so it's important to address it right away.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Contact your dentist as soon as possible: this is the most important step. Don't try to remove the cotton yourself, as this could further irritate the extraction site. Your dentist will be able to remove it safely and assess the condition of the wound.

Unfortunately, the term "cavity wave" is not a recognized medical term in the context of infectious diseases. It's likely a misinterpretation or misunderstanding of a specific condition or outbreak. To address your concerns accurately, I need more information:
source of information: knowing where you heard about the "cavity wave" in china can help clarify what you might be referring to. Was it news, social media, or personal communication?
Possible conditions: could you be thinking of a ...more

Milk teeth broken 6 months ago is the reason why adult teeth are not erupted due to be bone formation above adult teeth. It become little hard to erupt for adult teeth. I think you should wait for 6 months whether its erupting or not. If not then x ray is to be done for missing teeth to know the exact cause. Sometimes the bone above the adult teeth has to be removed to facilitate easy eruption of adult teeth. You can also discuss about this with your dentist. Hope it helps.
