I have pulsatile tinnitus with TMJ disorder. What can help?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The oceanic noise that you feel you are hearing in your inner ear may have nothing to do with your TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. TMJ disorders usually produce clicking, grating, or popping sounds along with tinnitus that increases in intensity over time or aggravates the ear condition, but if you feel that it is worsening continuously, it would signify an inner ear infection (like an infection of the ear canal that requires evaluation and treatment by an ENT specialist). The causes include vestibular disturbance in the ear, meaning temporary degenerative changes in the inner ear, temporomandibular joint infection, or disorders. Systemic links like Klippel-Trenaunay and Maffucci syndrome.

What causes prolonged bleeding after a tooth extraction?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. It is important to use ice packs right away. Ice can help stop the bleeding both externally and internally at the extraction site by promoting clotting. If your child also had a pulpectomy or root canal on a nearby tooth, please consult your local dentist immediately since the bleeding has not stopped.

How to treat my tooth sensitivity after filling?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. The desensitizer's ability to be carcinogenic is not true. I agree that your dentist should have cleaned the tooth of plaque and tartar deposits completely before applying the sensitizer. However, without the preliminary scaling step, especially if you have deposits, we do not usually directly proceed to fillings without suggesting it to the patient.

What instructions should be followed after a tooth extraction?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. This is a common dental error seen after the simultaneous extraction of all four wisdom teeth, which can significantly disrupt the healing process. Anesthesia is administered on both sides of the jaw, leading to several potential complications. Even if you are not experiencing a dry socket, the blood clots may take longer to dissolve.

How can I get a broken front tooth repair immediately?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. If you are not experiencing much pain and have lost more than a quarter or around half of your tooth, you can easily get a composite filling done immediately at your dentist. It would likely be classified as a class 1 or class 2 Ellis fracture. But, if you are experiencing pain or if the anterior (front incisors) fracture line is quite deep, then your dentist may suggest a root canal followed by a front veneer or ceramic cap.
