Risk of cyst if braces after baby tooth removal is delayed?
Hi doctor,
I am a 30-year-old male. I had a baby tooth in the left lower jaw. Beneath it, there is an impacted first permanent premolar tooth. OPG and CBCT were taken. The baby tooth was extracted before a month, and the impacted tooth was exposed. As I had some misalignment in both the jaws, I consulted an orthodontist, and I was advised to wait for two months for braces treatment. Now the exposed area of the impacted tooth has got healed and covered completely. Should I need to wait for an eruption? Can I have a cyst formation under the impacted tooth? Can I start my braces treatment now? I am attaching my OPG, CBCT reports and photos.

Can an erupting wisdom tooth cause gum pain?
Hello doctor,
I have a reccurring pain in my tooth. It feels like I am chewing something with my gums. The pain lasted for a few days and then went away. A few months later pain arose. I do not know if it is just because of my wisdom tooth which started developing in my mouth or if it is a gum infection. I have taken a picture of it.
Please help me.

My front teeth chipped out following a hit. Please suggest me the right treatment.
Hi doctor,
I got a hit, and four of my teeth chipped, out of which two hurts. It has only been less than 24 hours so far. I went to the dentist, and she says that I need a root canal right away. However, taking a second opinion, the other dentist says a root canal is not necessary and it will heal on its own since it is not looking major. Please suggest me the right treatment. Previously, I had braces treatment. I am in retainers for almost two years since the braces were taken off.

Why did a large part of tooth broke off while eating soft food?
Hi doctor,
I was eating something reasonably soft and all of a sudden quite a large part of my tooth broke off. I am 18 years old and have never had a dental issue before and I was wondering what the likely cause of this was and if there is any way to prevent it from happening again.
