Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.I have and gone through your query and would like to say thatdental abscess requires antibiotic coverage and specific treatmentof the cause. If it is because of a cavity in the tooth, we can go for root canal treatment or extraction based on the condition of the tooth. If it is because of gums and supporting tissues, cleaning, curettage and further minor surgery if required has to be done. So, kindly visit you nearby dentist for examination and treatment.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.How are you doing?First of all, do not worry. Maybe he is afraid of dental visits because of previous experiences. Uncontrolled diabetes can cause bone loss and hence tooth mobility, in conjunction with improper oral hygiene.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. First of all, regarding the swelling, which you assume to be a cyst, it could be a lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph node). It shows that there is some inflammation or an infection process going on. Regarding the wisdom tooth, if it has space and is in a correct position, it will come out; otherwise, there is a chance for it to be impacted.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.I have gone through your query. What is the age of your sister? From your statement, I assume that most of the tooth structure of the same affected teeth fell on their own, and the other teeth are good. To guide you better, I would like to see the image of the teeth. If the adjacent teeth are healthy, you can also go for a bridge, which is also a fixed prosthesis, but there should be teeth on both sides of the missing teeth, and the adjacent teeth will also be prepared and capped.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. You are totally fine. Your socket is healing. Make sure that there is no food lodgement or deposits and that you maintain it clean.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. How are you doing? I saw the image, but it is not clear (attachment removed to protect patient identity). But, based on how much ever I could appreciate, it seems you have deep caries in your first molar and to some extent nearby second premolar too. The crack or sharpness is due to the loss of tooth structure because of caries (cavity). Kindly take an IOPA (intraoral periapical radiograph) of both the teeth together (in one X-ray itself) and send it to me, along with a clear image of your teeth to help you with a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.After a tooth is extracted, it is advisable to keep the gauze in the site for 30 minutes, in the same position. After 30 minutes, do not spit; take the gauze through your hand and discard it. This is to arrest bleeding and help in clot formation by the pressure method, and spitting will lead to dislodgement of the clot. So, be careful with splitting (do not do it forcefully) for at least one day.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. Bleeding gums are due to inflamed (simply, swollen) gums. The most probable cause is calculus (hard deposits) and plaque (soft deposits) irritating the gums. The treatment is to get a professional cleaning (scaling) done by a dentist.
