Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The sensitivity could be due to tooth abrasion. But pain indicates a pulpal or a periodontal pathology (pain due to decay tooth or problem with the gums involving the tooth). An X-ray could probably be of good help in such a situation. Maybe, you had a hit to the tooth previously (even a few years back) it could suddenly cause pain.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I think the cavity was very deep, and so the filling was placed close to the nerve area. This could have given you severe sensitivity with cold items. My suggestion is to just wait for a few more days. If you experience sudden, severe, shooting pain, you need to visit your dentist and get that tooth either root canal treated or extracted.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The tooth pain on tapping suggests some infection in the tooth, or any food getting stuck between two teeth, sudden biting of any hard food, abnormal biting of teeth, and so on. There are many reasons for this. So we have to make sure what caused you the so-called pain on tapping. Good that you did not have any pain thereafter.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The frenectomy procedure, as such, does not close the gap. It involves the removal of fibrous tissue that is present. Then, closure of the gap can be achieved. The minimal movement to close the gap is with the help of removable appliances like retainers.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. I have seen all the information provided, and I will answer all the queries one by one. Based on radiological reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), there is not much evidence of tooth infection, apart from the presence of polyps, which must be evaluated. Polyps could be caused due to a wide variety of reasons.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The spots on the tongue usually occur for a wide variety of reasons. However, the main possibilities could be due to direct injury, stress, or malnutrition. Any hot food touching the area could cause them. Sometimes, stress is also responsible for the appearance of such red spots on the tongue.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. This is the age when you will be having new teeth erupting which causes gum swellings and accumulation of plaque (deposits) on teeth which might cause the bad breath. The other thing is any cavities, if present, cause bad breath as well. Any gastro problem such as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) may also cause this. People who skip breakfast also suffer from this.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Anything other than usual is never good. First, we need to know whether it is extra teeth or natural teeth growing in a different place. Why do you have these extra teeth? Is it interrupting the other teeth and disturbing the mouth position or no issues with it? We need to know the answers to these questions, and if they are not causing any trouble, you can leave them. Visit a dentist and get yourself examined, then get an X-ray done.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Since it is causing trouble to your cheek and cuts as well, my suggestion would be to get that wisdom tooth removed. If at all you do not want tooth removal, that tooth can be checked and any sharp margins if present can be rounded off. That decreases the trouble, but it is temporary relief. Not a permanent solution.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Teeth having multiple cavities suggests improper maintenance. It could either be due to improper brushing or too much of sticky food or a hereditary feature. You need to just visit your dentist and get to know the correct way of brushing and also have a meticulously good oral hygiene. Since the cavities have already started, get them filled and have the remaining teeth taken care of well.
