We all need help

Hi Doc, pls I need ur help. For the past 3 years I noticed kind of odour from my mouth. Went to d hospital, I was told to use gestid suspension, but d odour refuse to go. What shall I do?

Hello Doc, I've been battling dental sensitivity for about 3 years now. Saw a dentist in March and he did a desensitization after scaling and polishing. Problem is that it persists and hasn't let up even though I use a desensitizating toothpaste (sensodyne).

Pls what do you suggest?

pls doc, anytym i brush my teeth it brings out blood evrn though it nt paining me nd i use d softest brush dat a1yr old can use..

Your gums are likely inflamed. You need professional cleaning in the dental office because as it is, your brush alone is not able to remove the deposits on your teeth that are causing irritation of your gums

There are different causes of mouth odour, the most common of which is tartar accumulation on the teeth. Have you had a dentist check it out for you before? Better still, have you had professional cleaning done before? This may just be what you need.

Is the sensitivity generalised or limited to a particular tooth? IF it's limited, it could be due to a cavity or a crack on a tooth. Maybe you should have it checked again.
Cracks at the neck of your tooth (due to wrong method of brushing) can also lead to generalised sensitivity. In this case, sensodyne alone will not help, as those cracks/holes will need to be filled.

Plz doc,is it necessary to do mouth washing n scaling before tooth extraction?

I'm really sorry I'm just replying. your gums are inflamed(irritated). that's why they bleed when you brush. kindly visit a dentist for cleaning

no sir, she's too young for braces. braces can only be fixed on permanent teeth

Also, if she sucks her fingers/ tongue/ lip, do everything in your power to stop her

Hi

I just got my premolars extracted as the first step towards getting braces. The extraction of the right one went well but the extraction of the left one was tougher so the orthodontist was not very gentle. My problem now is that the canine next to it hurts like crazy plus the gum close to it feels kinda loose unlike the other side which is firm and is far less painful.

Is this pain on the canine normal after an extraction? Also, is the flesh on the gum supposed to be loose ?

Thanks

I'm really sorry I'm replying you this late. I don't know how I missed this. hope you're better now

that's the ideal thing to do. just like it's necessary for a surgeon to disinfect the area he's going to cut through.

Good day Doc, please, I will like to know the cost of traditional braces.

Bad breath odours vary, depending on the source or underlying cause. Some people worry too much about their breath even though they have little or no mouth odour, while others have bad breath and do not know it. Because it is difficult to assess how your own breath smells, you can ask a close friend or family member to confirm your breath.

sorry we don't just prescribe drugs like that. go to a dentist. there are other options aside tooth extraction even if you have severe toothache. Google root canal treatment

Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride-containing toothpaste. Floss at least once a day. Get a dental check up done every six months. You're good to go!
