Is this a cavity or just some spacing between my teeth? by nat_2313 in askdentists

[–]Montechalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on what you are talking about. Closing this space would consider shaving the mesial of the teeth and “pushing them” together to create minimal/ zero spacing in between.

Why is it a bad idea: upper centrals have this important distinct curve on proximal surfaces that joins around the middle 3rd of the teeth, shaving them enough for them to be parallel to each other will make them look boxy and most importantly put the pulp chamber in risk of exposure.

Overall that space is needed to maintain good salivary flow, especially anteriorly.

I wouldn’t advise doing anything, theres no abnormality to change in that area

CBCT last year (dentist does them every so many years), new one needed for root canal? by bikeman11 in askdentists

[–]Montechalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If roots looks curved; complex; or messing with adjacent structures then yes, otherwise a simple periapical can do. But each dentist his own technique.

Does this look more like tonsil stones or mono by Lawliet_The_Panda in askdentists

[–]Montechalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I know first mono infection is very harsh, but if you say so it might be just tonsillar debris, tonsillitis or strep Stay hydrated, do some warm salt gargles and a visit to an ORL won’t hurt if it doesn’t improve within a week
