Any ways to make teeth stronger. Sometime my teeth break into small piece and comes out. I am worried if this will result in tooth loss. Please help. Any home remedies or a strong tablet.

Dentist•Chennai

If the tooth breaks, have the tooth contoured. Fill the crack in. Place a crown on your tooth. If the tooth has been badly damaged and the nerve or pulp is exposed, the dentist may have to perform a root canal to save the tooth. If the tooth has been severely damaged, it may have to be extracted.

There is certainly a way to avoid it, that is maintenance of oral hygiene. Brush twice daily, keep your teeth clean and visit your dentist at least every six months. In case the situation has already progressed, there are certain methods to treat the same. Most common way being periodontal surgery. Cost of it varies depending on the location and expertise of doctor.

My gum was swollen, at the back, very end after molar. I had a lot of pain. Today it’s decreased, not gone. I’ve done saltwater rinse, applied mustard oil. Help.

MDS - Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Dentist•Chennai

Wisdom teeth usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 21, though it's possible for them to push through earlier or later. Referred to as your "third molars," these four teeth begin to push through the skin like any other tooth, which can cause pain. However, wisdom teeth are much more likely to grow in at an incorrect angle – even sideways – causing impaction that can radiate this pain to the teeth in front of it. Kindly get it extracted as soon as possible.

Tooth decay is an irreversible damage to the tooth. Getting your teeth filled is the only option. Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need adv. Cleaning and artificial enamel filling or root canal treatment with a cap for deep cavities.

Hydrogen peroxide can be used only under the supervision of a professional only.
The symptom of bleeding gums warrants referral to a periodontist or an appropriately qualified dental surgeon.

Hello Dr. I have small black dots and lines are in my teeth. and wherever these small lines or dots are, they have damaged that area. I mean, if I used a small object like a needle to test it, I would find a gap between normal teeth and damaged teeth. I went to the dentist a few months ago, and he only changed my toothpaste from colgate to stolin-r. can you tell what type of tooth disease this is, how I can prevent it from spreading, and how to remove these lines and dots?

I tried to upload a picture, but there's no such option.

Chances of hiv spread through saliva is very very less. The virus can only transmit through contact with blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids and breast milk. If you are not in contact with any of these then you don't need to be worried about it.
