Phillip Geoffrey Cary DDS's Expert Contributions
  • How do you get rid of white bumps on your tongue?

    First need to see a dentist or Oral Surgeon for a diagnosis. No simple answer here unfortunately. READ MORE

  • What is the fastest way to recover from jaw surgery?

    Rest, follow all postoperative instructions provided, soft diet, and maintain strict oral hygiene. READ MORE

  • What could the red mark in my throat be?

    I recommend seeing an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation. Red lesions are always of some concern. They may simply be prominent blood vessels, areas of local inflammation, or in worst case scenario could be a form of oral cancer. Not to frighten you. I recommend seeing an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation. READ MORE

  • Why does my jaw hurt on one side?

    Tooth decay, gum/bone disease, TMJ disorders to name a few. See your dentist for evaluation and possibly X-rays. READ MORE

  • Will cobblestone throat go away?

    Cobblestone throat is generally a form of chronic inflammation from most commonly postnasal drip or acid reflux. Check out this ADA website: https://ada.com/conditions/acute-pharyngitis/ READ MORE

  • What is the success rate of TMJ surgery?

    Depends on too many variables to say specifically. I recommend you see an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon who is experienced with TMJ surgery for a better answer. READ MORE

  • What are the lumps inside my mouth?

    Many things can cause lumps inside the mouth, ranging from normal anatomy to dental infection to forms of cancer. I recommend you see your dentist or an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon for an evaluation. READ MORE

  • Is a dental cyst removal painful?

    The procedure should be painless following administration of anesthesia, and can be relatively simple procedure if the cyst is small and removal is being done coincident with undergoing tooth extraction. Large cysts are often treated in my practice with patients undergoing IV anesthesia to mitigate physical or emotional pain. Always see an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon undergoing excision of large cysts. READ MORE

  • Is it normal to develop a low-grade fever after oral surgery?

    A low grade fever without any signs or symptoms of infection is not uncommon, and may be related to slight dehydration or in some cases due to lung effects from undergoing general anesthesia or deep sedation. Certainly fever that is unrelated to the surgery and is due to other causes needs to be considered if the fever persists, escalates, or becomes associated with any other new symptoms. READ MORE

  • Are hot foods permitted after oral surgery?

    Yes, we generally recommend bland food (keep the hot spices to a minimum), soft foods, and plenty of liquids until you feel confident you can handle the consistency and temperature of the food you enjoy. READ MORE

  • Do I need surgery for TMJ?

    Surgery is rarely required to manage the symptoms ofTMD (temporomandiular disorders). Seek treatment with a dentist, prosthodontist, oral surgeon, or possibly orthodontist. Best to start with your dentist first. Lots of alternatives to surgery. READ MORE

  • Can oral cysts go away on their own?

    Generally not. Multiple cysts of the jaw is certainly different than cysts of the adjacent soft tissues. I recommend you see an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation and specific treatment recommendations. READ MORE

  • Is front tooth extraction the most painful?

    Injections of local anesthesia in the front of the mouth can be more sensitive than other areas, but there should rarely, if ever, be pain when a tooth is extracted. The postoperative course is a different subject. READ MORE

  • Is it normal to get wisdom teeth when you're 14?

    A bit early, but certainly not something that can't happen. Sometimes delayed eruption of the second molars is misinterpreted as early eruption of the third molars (wisdom teeth). READ MORE

  • Do I need to remove the cyst in my mouth?

    Yes, in general. A cyst is abnormal and can be no more than a nuisance or a more significant problem in the future if not addressed. I recommend you see an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation and recommendations/treatment. READ MORE

  • Is a dental cyst dangerous?

    Dental cysts are generally benign and therefore are not life threatening. A dental cyst can be associated with more than one type of dental problem, and should be removed in general. I recommend you see an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation and recommendations/treatment. READ MORE

  • What is the bump on my tongue?

    All painless lumps should be evaluated, although there are some anatomic features of the tongue that could be construed as "bumps". Recommend you see your dentist. READ MORE

  • How long is a root canal procedure?

    Depends on the tooth that is being treated, the experience of the doctor, the conditions at the time of treatment. 30-60 minutes is a good estimate for most cases. Oral surgeons do not perform root canal therapy. Please see your dentist or an endodontist for a better answer. READ MORE

  • Is a wisdom tooth extraction painful?

    Pain is managed with local or IV sedation. There should be no pain in the process of surgery. Although these procedures are often performed by a general dentist, I recommend you see an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation and recommendations/treatment. READ MORE

  • What happens if you pop a gum boil?

    A gum boil (parulis) is the effect of an infection; Popping it only allows the infection causing the problem to drain. The source of the infection should be determined and treated. READ MORE
