Is sensitive teeth a symptom for a hairline fracture in my teeth?

It is a symptom, but there are many reasons for sensitive teeth as well. If you do feel it, especially if it’s just on one tooth and it has suddenly appeared out of nowhere like acute, one of the more likely reasons is a cracked tooth. Like I said, time is of the essence when it comes to dentistry and dental work, and saving your tooth. Don’t delay on all these things. I think another common symptom that people have is when they have sensitive teeth and then it goes away, and then it comes back a month later or a little bit later. And then it goes away. Once it really cracks through, and they come and visit us, and that’s a bit too late we can’t save it. So really, as soon as there’s a symptom that could potentially be it, it’s better that we treat it early and nip it in the bud.

Which non invasive facelift treatments can I safely undergo if I have plates and screws on my lower and upper jaw bones? (photo)

Hi! From the picture, it appears that you could have had upper and lower jaw surgery, as well as a sliding genioplasty and braces. Generally, this should not affect non-invasive facelift treatments. You should be able to undergo most of these such as high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU - e. g. Ultraformer, Ulthera), fractional energy devices (such as fractional picosecond, fractional lasers, fractional radiofrequency), fillers, Dysport dermalift, subdermal lasers/radiofrequency or threadlifts. These should be safe provided the proper precautions are taken.

Where can I get forehead lowering surgery or hairline advancement surgery in Singapore?

Hi there! Forehead lowering surgery and hairline advancement surgery should be performed by a qualified, accredited, board-certified plastic surgeon. These procedures are often performed in isolation or as part of forehead rejuvenation/lift, and require intricate knowledge of the anatomy to reduce the risk of nerve or vessel damage. Also, delicate plastic surgery techniques, such as hiding the hairline incision and plastic surgical suturing, need to be performed to minimize the appearance of scars. Hope this helps!
