Patient's Query

Hi, doctor.

My tooth feels strange. It does not pain, but I can feel something that is making me worried. I am now in a foreign nation and do not have dental insurance because it is not prevalent in this country. I am lost on what to do, so please assist me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Upon review, the following findings were discovered, it might be related to a chipped anterior tooth, tooth sensitivity, or any deposited plaque, stains, or calculus.

If the strange feeling is caused by lower mandibular anterior teeth sensitivity or chipping, the sensitivity may arise when a chipped tooth comes in contact with cold foods or liquids. It is because it is induced by the spillage into the exposed dentinal tubules of the teeth, causing sensitivity. This could be reduced by using an anti-sensitivity toothpaste which decreases the sensitivity by blocking these tubes with ions.

For around 15 days, use Sensodyne toothpaste (for tooth sensitivity).

In case of any deposits scaling and oral care is recommended.

A composite filling, also called a white filling, can be used to restore the chipped-off part of chipped-off teeth.

There is a possibility that it may occur because of an abscess on the periapical surface or periodontal involvement.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
