Q&A

Answered by Dr. Swati. P

Are full dentures the best option for gum disease and unsightly gaps?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Regarding your query, since you have lost just one tooth and you are still young, full dentures are not required. You can go for a cleaning (scaling) first and replacement of the tooth that you lost. You can either go for a bridge or implant, depending on your needs and what the dentist feels is appropriate. Kindly consult with a general dentist or prosthodontist for the same.

Can an infection spread even after taking antibiotics?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The fever could be because of the infection in your mouth. Please continue taking the antibiotics and finish the entire course of the antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor. The infection may subside in severity within 3 to 5 days with antibiotic use. But remember that you have to get the proper treatment done for the abscess and the affected tooth needs to be treated as well.
