Hi, ulcers could be because of prolonged use of antibiotics, vitamins deficiency due to improper diet intake and also could be due to stress. Advised you to take proper balanced diet, lots of liquid, water and use ulcer gel before meal. They will take 5-7 days to get healed properly. Start taking multivitamins also.

Asked for male, 41 years old from Bangalore

I got an rct done for lower tooth 7 right side. I got a crown. Now x ray shows gap between crown and last wisdom tooth and I am getting views that I have to remove the wisdom tooth and redo the crown for 7. There is no other way is it?

Dr. Ashish Kumar Lal

BDS

Dentist•Jalandhar

Dear patient,
there is no need to re do the crown for 7, unless your wisdom tooth is not get locked/blocked underneath its distal end. Infact in that worse case too, wisdom tooth can skilfully be removed without disturbing the crown on 7.
Remember:- skillfully (u need an experienced surgeon for that)

Asked for male, 23 years old from Delhi

I had my lower right fully impacted wisdom tooth extracted in march 2023, and it has been 6 months since the extraction, and i'm still experiencing the same pain as earlier: pain in my ear, jaw, and gum, stiffness, and inflammation that increases when I lay down or sleep. I have taken so many antibiotics and painkillers after consulting my dentist but the pain is not going at all.

Pain in the teeth during the night strongly indicates pulpitis due to tooth decay. Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need root canal treatment and crown. Advance procedures can be done with laser.

Asked for male, 21 years old from Jaipur

I have pericoronitis and my impacted wisdom tooth has only partially erupted (gum flap up top. My dentist reduced the height of the wisdom tooth just above it to prevent it from further injuring that gum area. He has prescribed some medicines, mouthwash and gel but I was wondering if those were necessary if it recovers normally otherwise in a few days period. The medication is as follows: 1) hydroxyl peroxide betakind mouthwash (3 times/day) 2) tab. Zero dol sp (3 times/day) 3) tab augmentin 625 (2 times/day) 4) gut ok (once a day) 5) orahelp gel (3 times/day) all of these are meant to be taken for 3 days along with mouthwash with saline water. I don't really mind some pain or a few prolonged days of healing if that means avoiding the medicine.

Dentist•Trivandrum

Hi
in many people, wisdom teeth don't break through the gum and grow out – or only part of them does. The reasons are multifactorial. This is more common in the lower jaw than it is in the upper jaw. The reason is usually that there isn't enough space for the tooth in the jaw.
Wisdom teeth are usually only removed if they cause problems, or are likely to in the future. (pain, swelling etc.) wisdom teeth that don't break through (sometimes also called “impacted” wisdom teeth) often don't ...more

Dentist•Jammu

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.
