Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Jaw pain, swelling, difficulty in opening the mouth are commonly present for a few days after the surgical extraction of wisdom tooth. Healing depends on the type of impaction, bone coverage, or traumatic extraction. Bad breath occurs due to difficulty in mouth opening while brushing or food lodgement. Avoid sticky foods and keep the area clean.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The probable cause for your dental problem is Angle's malocclusion (maybe class II division 1 or 2). Suppose you have done orthodontic treatment and have retainers, and your upper front two teeth are the only concern; I suggest going for crowns only for that tooth to correct your smile (esthetic treatment). If your function is also affected (meaning chewing), I suggest taking orthodontic treatment and retainers to bring back the malaligned teeth. You might need a dental x-ray (orthopantomogram) for further treatment.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. X-ray is necessary to diagnose the fractured front tooth to check the extent of fracture. Simple restoration can be done if your sister has only sensitivity. Pain or swelling in the permanent tooth requires root canal treatment. Follow up after two days.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Bad mouth odor (halitosis) is caused by food deposits, plaque, or tartar (calculus). The food deposit forms a thin film that is easily removable, but when it is calcified, it is very difficult to remove by simple brushing. Therefore, I suggest you do ultrasonic scaling by a dentist nearby. I can help you by guiding you with proper brushing techniques and oral prophylaxis methods in the follow-up.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The deposits around the tooth are calcified and form calculus which cannot be removed by brushing alone. I suggest you do scaling (ultrasonic cleaning) and root planing, and once it is done, we can prevent the further formation of tartar (calculus). I saw the pictures attached (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). You have a lot of spacing (space between teeth), I suggest you follow good oral hygiene measures to prevent periodontitis.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. This is a case of space infection occurring from the infection of the tooth, known as cellulitis secondary to a periapical abscess. It must have started as dental caries, spread to the tip of the root, then from there to the surrounding tissues and sinus. You need to be treated immediately. Take a dental X-ray and OPG (orthopantomogram) to see how much infection has spread; then, the abscess needs to be drained, followed by the root canal treatment of the affected tooth.
Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.I understand your situation, but I need a little more clarification. The main thing is your age, so anyway, by six years of age, your milk tooth will start to shed and be replaced by a permanent tooth. If your milk tooth is not removed, that means that the space is still occupied, and there is no space for your permanent tooth to come out. This will cause either the permanent tooth to come in different positions or have a delayed eruption.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. It is a case of early childhood caries, which is common in bottle-fed babies and others. So, a permanent tooth erupts at six to seven years. It depends on various factors. If you are concerned, you can undergo removal of all the milk teeth so it will allow the eruption of permanent teeth.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have a horizontally impacted and partially erupted tooth, so the eruption force will spread to the adjacent tooth and the nerves and bones below it. Your jaw pain will radiate to the ears and head. Do not be scared. I am just explaining the seriousness of your case.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Wisdom tooth starts erupting between 18 to 21 years of age. A partially erupted tooth is covered with soft tissue called gingiva that causes food lodgment between the tooth and gums. The condition is called pericoronitis.
