Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You do not have a cyst formation associated with the impacted tooth according to the images. In some cases, by orthodontic treatment, the tooth can be exposed, and they are brought to a normal position. In some cases, after extraction of the retained baby tooth, the impacted tooth can come into favorable position.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The swelling of your cheek is due to infection extending from your tooth and root apex into the underlying bone and the facial surface, and has reached the soft tissues (muscle and fat). This infection can spread further to the adjacent areas and cause bacteremia (bacteria in the blood) and complications in breathing. I would suggest you get the infected tooth extracted before the antibiotic course is completed, as the swelling will not come down without removing the cause. I hope this helps.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I feel you have to get a full checkup done on your upper and lower jaw. The upper right wisdom tooth erupts between 17 to 25 years. But, if there is no space for it to erupt then they come out crooked. Pain can also result if the wisdom tooth is not erupting in the normal path.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read the query, and I can understand your concern. Your ailment could be due to TMJ (temporomandibular joint), muscle, nerve, or systemic issues. You need a general body checkup by a physician first to rule out any systemic problem, like excessive calcium deposition in the body or any muscle stiffening syndromes. Then, get a neurology check-up for any nerve issues.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. As per the radiograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity), your tooth infection had extended beyond the root apex and entered the underlying bone, and it became a periapical abscess. The tooth roots are also flared. Root canal treatment is a conservative approach to saving the natural tooth by removing the infected tissue within the pulp chamber and root canal. Some teeth may have more root canals than usual.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The OPG (attachment removed to protect patient identity) shows a cystic lesion extending from your upper right canine to the last molar. The maxillary sinus floor is also involved. Enucleation is a surgical procedure to remove the cystic lesion, depending on the cyst size and location. It can be done under local anesthesia or general anesthesia.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. In the image (attachment removed to protect patient identity), the lesion looks like either the aftereffect of an injury to the duct or salivary gland stone or a papilloma. This can be removed by surgical excision of the lesion. After that, send the specimen for histopathologic examination for a confirmed diagnosis. Regards.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The white patch and line seen on the buccal mucosa may be due to cheek biting. The probable diagnosis could be traumatic keratosis. The upper left wisdom tooth was extracted just one month ago. It will take another three to six months for these white patches to disappear.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. When there is a tooth pain, it means that the infection has reached the pulp of the tooth. The pulp of the tooth is the innermost part of the tooth where the blood vessels and the nerves are present. In the crown portion of the tooth, it is called pulp chamber, and in the root portion, it is called as a root canal.Once the infection has reached the pulp, it will involve both the pulp chamber as well as the root canal, and it spreads to the tissues below the tooth.
