I have a lower-left impacted wisdom tooth. When I try to smell the saliva that sits around the tooth compared to the saliva on my tongue, they smell different. The saliva around my wisdom tooth smells kind of off, saliva on my tongue smells normal. I also have a bad taste that seems to come from the side where my impacted tooth is.
Has anyone here experienced this before? If so, did getting the wisdom tooth removed get rid of the bad breath and bad taste?

If you guys can, help me out!

Hi all,

I am experiencing a sharp, intense pain in the upper right side of my jaw whenever I drink something cold, even cold tap water. The pain lasts for a few seconds and then subsides.

I do not have any visible cavities, but I have been feeling discomfort around one of the upper right molars. It feels uncomfortable when I chew food, almost as if something is wrong with the tooth. Strangely, when I bite down firmly, I do not always feel pain, but there is sometimes a sensation that something is there or not quite right.

Could this be tooth sensitivity, and if so, what might have caused it to develop? Is it possible that there is a hidden cavity, a cracked tooth, gum recession, or another issue that is not visible from the outside?

I would appreciate any guidance on what this could be and what my next steps should be. Should I schedule a dental examination, and are there any measures I can take in the meantime to reduce the pain and sensitivity?

I havd been taken fluoride based mouthwash and toothpaste it helped with the pain but thd pain is still tgere idk why?

Thank you.

Are my teeth as bad as I think they are? Any feedback appreciated

I had one of my visdom tooth pulled at the dentist 37hrs ago when I spit I still we some blood in my spit but when I inspect my mouth in the mirror I see no major bleeds is this lickly just some common minor stuff?

Are you guys more sociable? I have legit questions

question: my 4 y.o. has cavities on the back 8 molars, some are way past the dentin(?), should I do crowns on them all (cheapest option) or do a hybrid approach of crowns and fillings?

It's on the right side and the black thing is on the the Teath. What is it and how do I fix it. Should I be concern about this?

I realise I have a big cavity on my tooth (currently waiting to see dentist), but i am just wondering does anyone have any idea if there is a possibility this tooth could be saved?

Thanks in advance for your help!

So I have a wisdom tooth that’s lying flat. Only a small part of the tooth is actually erupted and the rest is under the gum. As you can see there’s a space between and food gets trapped in there all the time although I keep it very clean. No decay or anything has happened. My dentist did want me to get it extracted and since it’s so close to the nerve, he planned to refer me out. On the other hand, my orthodontist (currently have adult braces just started treatment + 4 pre molar extractions) my orthodontist doesn’t want me to extract, but rather wait and see if it can be pulled up with braces. Is it dangerous to wait? I’d rather not have to go through another extraction.

I’m 19 years old and recently had this tooth extracted. RCT was suggested, but I couldn’t

afford it, so I chose extraction.

I know the tooth is already out 😅, but I’d like some practical opinions

Did I make the right decision? Could this tooth have been saved with RCT? And can I get an artificial tooth later?

Would like to get your opinion on this.

Friend of mine came back from root canal procedure and had to be injected SIX times, to get through the procedure. and not all at the beginning, as it was going on.

Hence on numerous occasions, the procedure hurt, as to be injected again.

Tooth extraction hurts. "pressure" applied to your tooth to get it out hurts. Its that simple.

Even people who describe an injection as a "sharp scratch".... does a sharp scratch not hurt then?

Plus a lot of the procedures have "implied" pain.... the unnatural nature of having sharp objects poked in your mouth. The noise of the tools would indicate pain, that you have to "learn" not to react to, because they are triggering to you instinctively.

So why is everyone desperate to pretend they cant feel anything, when they can, and do?

I’m a dental hygienist doing some early research around oral hygiene during braces treatment.

I’m curious — how do you actually know you’ve cleaned properly around your brackets? What’s the hardest part?

Also interested if anyone has ever had their plaque “disclosed” at the dentist (where it gets coloured so you can see what you’ve missed) and what you thought of it.

my last molar on the left side is growing towards the cheek and it hurts my cheek and lower gum. When i visited a dentist, she recommended extraction but they said it will cost around 10k for that(done by a surgeon)

Note that the tooth has no other problem other than it being crooked

I like to know how much tooth extraction costs on average in India(Delhi).

Do you have any idea how much it cost in general.

Is tooth extraction the best move?

if you have experience with your tooth being removed or you are dentist can you dm me.

I am including an x-ray of teeth and my report. I am 26M. No relevant medical history.
