Are Dental X-rays Safe during Pregnancy?

To address your needs regarding dental alignment, it's essential to first identify any discomfort or misalignment you may be experiencing, such as overcrowding, gaps, or bite issues. These problems can arise from genetics or habits like thumb sucking. A range of orthodontic options are available, including traditional metal braces, clear aligners, and ceramic brackets. I encourage you to consult with an orthodontist, who can assess your unique situation and recommend the most suitable type for you.

My daughter is 13 years old. Her teeth are not evenly placed. Can you please suggest something to solve this problem?

An OPG i.e. full mouth x-ray will be needed to see the eruption pattern of teeth. If all permanent teeth have erupted and they are mal-aligned, you might need to consult orthodontist for braces.

I am 25 years old. yesterday after I had brushed my teeth.few minutes later I vomit the saliva from my stomach.today I mistook, morning after I wake up some saliva in mouth I swallow it.then few minutes later I vomit that saliva.this is it

Male | 25

It seems like you have been through some problems because of brushing your teeth and residue of saliva getting into your stomach. Vomiting can occur due to getting rid of the stomach or the reaction to much saliva. Being well-hydrated and refraining from eating a lot can help. Ginger tea or clear broths may ease your stomach. Should the initial signs persist, or if they worsen, or in case you have additional manifestations like high temperature or sharp pain, seek help from a doctor for a detailed examination. In the end, health is everything, and a doctor can help you the most in terms of your situation. Get well soon!

I am having new teeth. I have something like a pimple near my teeth and it is hurting a lot and I am not able to eat anything.

Female | 19

Gum boil like a pimple can happen when there's an infection in the area, causing swelling and pain. It's essential to address this promptly to prevent any further discomfort. In fact, I recommend gently rinsing your mouth with warm salt water to help reduce inflammation. However, it's crucial to have a dentist take a look to determine the exact cause and provide appropriate treatment. They may suggest antibiotics or draining the boil if needed. In the meantime, stick to soft foods and avoid putting pressure on that area.

I have a slightly crooked tooth in front. I want porcelain veneers. its all different color and shapes i want to change that

Female | 22

Many have slight crookedness of teeth. Color and shape variations occur. These stem from genes, habits like thumb-sucking, or accidents. Veneers help fix these problems. They are thin shells covering teeth making them uniform in color and shape. Discuss options with your dentist.

Cavities, infections, or teeth grinding can cause this kind of pain. If you have sensitive teeth, you may experience pain when consuming hot or cold foods. Make sure to visit your dentist for them to be able to determine what’s triggering the pain and provide appropriate treatment for it.

Thank you for your time. I am a 23-year-old male who had an implant placed because I was missing a front tooth. However, my dentist has discovered that I already have a front tooth in the upper jaw after checking my x-rays. How can we remove it with braces or what type of surgery is required now that I am no longer in need of an implant? Thanks.

It was yesterday that my daughter's tooth pain was relieved, and she was prescribed a rx for Augmentin and Metrogel, which she took this morning, but she started vomiting less than a minute after we gave her the medicine at 2:47. Is there anything more we should be doing for her at this point? Please, doctor, tell me what I should be doing to get her well.

Male | 43

please get in touch with the dr who has prescribed this medicine at the earliest & tell him about this

ideally he should have prescribed an antacid along with it too.

Dear Doctor, While chewing food I accidentally bite my inner cheek and it has turned like a sore with extreme pain, unable to chew freely now due to extreme pain and uneasiness. Kindly advise some good medicines for it to heal up fast. Thanks

Male | 41

You're dealing with a small issue in your mouth called a "cheek bite ulcer." This happens when you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek while chewing. The sore can be painful and may make chewing difficult. To ease the discomfort, you can use over-the-counter pain relief gels or creams made for mouth sores, which help numb the pain and protect the sore while it heals. It's also a good idea to avoid spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the sore further. Drinking cool liquids and eating soft foods will give your cheek a break, helping it heal faster. These sores usually go away on their own within a week or two, but if the pain worsens or doesn't improve, it's a good idea to consult a dentist.

Female | 23

this condition is called xerostomia, which means less production of saliva.

Clincal examination is needed to check the salivary glands functioning.
