will a gum shield help to protect the crown implant while playing | hello I understand your concern the normal healing time of bone is six to eight weeks however complete healing may take anywhere between three to six months in the case of implants it will take a minimum of three months for it to closely adapt to the surrounding bone and gain stability this is the most crucial phase in the entire treatment the amount of stability gained in this healing period determines the success rate and longevity of the implants temporary dentures made of acrylic may not create and actively transfer the chewing and other forces to the implant and hence suggested during this healing period any disturbances or accidental injuries to that area during this period can lead to failure of implants which is the most advanced option for replacement in this worst scenario we will have no other option other than giving a removable denture I understand your dedication and involvement towards your profession but please do consider the safety of your implants in which you have invested your time and money although you would be wearing a professional gum shield over the implants any accidental injuries could deliver the impact across your jaw bone thereby delaying or disturbing the healing process I hope this helps | hello doctor I am a professional rugby player who has recently broken and had my three front teeth removed I have had two implants fitted and currently have to wear a denture until I get the crown and bridge fitted I have been advised by one dentist to avoid playing rugby again as an impact could break my jaw bone however another dentist has said that the implants are meant to be resistant and with a professional gumshield the risk is not much higher than with normal teeth I would like to get some other opinions on my situation whether I should wait for a certain amount of time before playing again or if it is reasonable to consider playing immediately with a gumshield or if I should be very careful and consider playing altogether | medium severity |

I experience occasional peripheral vision shadow on widening my eyes what is it | hello what you are describing is most probably breaks in the gel shaped part of the eye and is called floaters it is a normal and physiological condition that we see in patients that have refractive errors and have no significant consequences if these symptoms persist and are causing you discomfort look for an ophthalmologist that does a procedure called laser vitreolysis who could break them down into smaller bits so that you do not notice them that much and that is pretty much the only method of treatment | hello doctor I am a 19 year old male I have been to a few ophthalmologist about this and they seem to think it is benign but I want to get some other input on this if I widen my eyes and move my head around I can see shadows in my far peripheral vision moving as my head does and it seems that the shadows change and become different sizes as time goes on now I do have astigmatism in my right eye and from time to time I get aching almost gnawing pains that are with the movement of the eye and has happened in both at the same time before I find that it happens mostly when I am in a place with very weird or bright lighting or when I am looking at a bright screen in a weirdly lit room I suffer from anxiety and depression which is why I guess I am coming out to ask some more questions and I also have asperger's syndrome the aches radiate to my temple as well but as I have said I have been to doctors and they have dilated my pupils and looked at my retina and ocular nerves and told me they looked good so I honestly do not know what could be causing these weird shadows I have had them for quite a while and they also get bigger and more noticeable with head tilt like when I exercise or go running or do something very physical I currently take prozac 20 my and pantoprazole 10 my | medium severity |
is it safe to fly with eustachian tube dysfunction | hello though the history you have given is insufficient to come to any conclusion about the possible causes I will give information about the common conditions which can have such symptoms the most common cause for scratchy throat with hoarse voice is routine throat infections such as acute pharyngotonsillitis or acute laryngitis which usually resolves with simple antibiotics and mouth gargles the next common cause which can present similarly is reflux laryngopharyngitis which is a type of acidity related disorder in this condition constant reflux of digestive acid into the throat causes injury to taste buds vocal cords and throat which leads to symptoms such as change of voice and change in taste in general people with reflux laryngopharyngitis will have symptoms such as burning sensation in chest repeated burping chest tightness dryness of throat etc regarding your inner ear conditions super semicircular canal dehiscence is a rare inner ear condition in this condition there will be giddiness and imbalance when exposed to loud noise and echoing of once own voice etc this condition usually does not get worsened by the change in environmental pressure so air travel would not be an issue in this condition in any case keep anti vertigo medications such as stemetil handy when you fly patulous eustachian tube is a condition involving the middle ear and nose my guess is because of the similarity in symptoms you have given in both the diagnoses I can say that if there is vertigo then it is superior canal dehiscence if there is no vertigo chances of patulous eustachian tube are high in any case people with patulous eustachian tube will have a certain degree of pressure symptoms in ear when they fly but most of the time it would not be very severe you can use simple saline nasal spray before boarding the flight and every two hours in the air to reduce symptoms | hello doctor I have a metal taste in the mouth hoarse voice and scratchy throat I am not on any medicines or vitamin supplements I have not changed my diet in any way and my dental hygiene is very good I am allergic to aspirin and have no health issues at all I also have two inner ear conditions both are somewhat rare in the right semicircular canal dehiscence and in the left patulous eustachian tube dysfunction what I want to know is whether I can fly take an airplane without getting ill and sustain further inner ear damage | low severity |
