question:So every now and then my soft palate gets extremely itchy, and I have no clue why. I have been taking antiallergic but now thay have bacame ineffective, my hard palate appears white in color and soft palate reddish with transparent highly itchy bumps. It seems like to scratch my palate with my nails.My teeth and gums are healthy.I am allergic to smoke, less sleep and but they aren't related to the itchyness of my palate, because it'll happen randomly. It'll pop up in the middle of the night or just randomly in the day for a few hours n its been now for months. please need your advice.Does anyone have any clue what it could be??
answer:Hello there , Thanks for writing your query, According to your symptoms i suspect your palatal mucosa of hard and soft palate are inflammed , may be due to allergy to certain food stuffs , physical or chemical trauma , allergy to smoke etc. It may be caused due to several reasons like deficiency or certain vitamins especially vitamin B12 and vitamin C. Maintain good oral hygiene by practising regular mouth rinsing with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like betadine or chlorhexidine. start with multivitamin supplements for 7 to 10 days and vitamin C lozenges will help in resolving the problem. avoid alcohol , carbonated drinks , tobacco chewing and smoking as these may worsen the area affected. Apply oral antiseptic ,analgesic ointments like dentogel or mucogel topically over the affected area i hope this helps , take care.
question:sir,i had done composite filling of upper front 2 teeth one year back.At that time there was no problem but the problem came just one month after scaling the tooth.After complaining doctor had adviced me to brush the teeth with Ventaj.the proble was solved for 15 days but again I have same problem.Does aching in two teeth cause pain of whole tooth.what may be reason,please advice me.
answer:Hello, Thanks for posting your query. First of all it has to be evaluated that whether the tooth is sensitive or pain is associated. Sensitivity after scaling usually subsides gradually. The abraded/eroded portion of tooth has to be restored using tooth-coloured filling material. If The teeth is infected periapically,rct has to be done. Take care.

question:Since a trauma to my molar last autumn, I have a monthly or 3 weekly sore patch on my tongue, same or similar place - not always quite an ulcer, more an inflamed papillae... I have a temporary filling fitted but since my trauma a gap has been created too and the edge of the filling is a little sharp. I must admit, I do feel around in my mouth constantly and often get food trapped in the gap causing the tooth to get inflamed. My question is, are any of these things enough to cause pain, soreness or ulcers in the same region/side of the tongue? I am due to have a root canal and am hoping this will solve the problem. Is there anything else I can do in the meantime to ease this?Many thanks in advance for any help
answer:Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The trauma can cause inflammation on your tongue and thereby ulceration. I would advice you to take plenty of fluids and nutritious food. Vitamin becosules,c ,iron and folic acid supplements can be administered. The traumatised tooth has to be evaluated clinically and root canal treatment or refilling has to be done based on the pulpal and periapical involvement of inflammation. Take antibiotics after consulting with your dentist. Use soft interdental toothbrush as well as dental floss to clean your teeth. Take care.
question:Hi, I have a white patch inside the corner of my mouth (inside cheek) caused because I bite the insides of my cheek. Ive been doing it for years and typically it heals with no problem. This white patch is tough (like a corn on your toe ) and has now been there for about 2 months. My dentist noticed it a month ago and said stop biting my cheek. I have tried by tend to do it still now and then. I am worried that this particular patch is still there and read that it could be linked to oral cancer . Is this a high probability or am I worried about nothing?
answer:Hi, Thank you for the query. Repeated trauma to cheek will lead to formation of traumatic ulcer which on long standing can develop malignancy Yes, the possibility of an area which is repeatedly subjected to trauma turning into cancer is more , soo better try to stop the habit of cheek biting . As well check for any sharp margins present on the teeth which is causing cheek bite and treat it by selective grinding technique. Hope this information helps you.
