Answered by Dr. Parth Shah

it could be a periodontal disease, clinical examination is a must in such cases. after that maybe a deep subgingival scaling or a flap surgery on the gums would help solve this problem

Hi..doc..i have this white and sour taste toungue for few months..scrap it off the next day it cones back..is it due to smoking and alcohol user..or could it be too much consume caffeine..or is it GERD..pls help

Male | 52

I understand that you may be dealing with a condition known as oral thrush. This could be a result of smoking or heavy drinking, too much caffeine, or even GERD. Common signs and symptoms include having a white coat on your tongue that tastes sour which always returns despite brushing. To mitigate this problem one should cut down on cigarettes, alcohol intake and caffeine consumption. It's best to see a dentist or an ENT specialist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Last month january i got cavity infection with swollen face jaw and lymph node..... i got extracted my teeth but lymph node swollen is still there

Female | 28

In most cases, lymph nodes might swell after the tooth extraction, maybe if there is an infection present. But you will have to go to the doctor if the swelling lasts longer than a few days. I suggest you consult a maxillofacial surgeon for a detailed investigation and treatment of your swollen lymph node.

Infection in teeth which is causing pain

Male | 14

It looks like you may have a tooth infection. This could be why you’re in pain. Bacteria can cause tooth infections when they enter a cavity or crack in the tooth. If the gum is swollen too, it might mean that there is an infection. The dentist will have to clean out your tooth to get rid of this problem and may also give you some antibiotics.
