Viral throat infections, canker sores, sore gums, infected tongue, and pregnant please help!?

Posted on May 17, 2011

For almost a week I have had all of these symptoms (except the pregnant part. I'm 6 months.) but i hate to be selfish to my baby bcuz I can't eat anything at all without it being excruciatingly painful! I already lost 3 pounds this week from not being able to eat or swallow anything, i dont want to have to do that to my baby but I feel like wen I eat my teeth will fall out. I have good dental hygiene too, i go to the dentist more than twice a year for my cleaning so what is going on? I have tried the salt and water technique-didnt work! I did it three times a day for 5 minutes and the canker sores just keep getting worse! It's so bad my whole face and lips are swelling...(and trust me it's not the baby, I have only gained 18 pounds out of my pregnancy and my face didnt look like what it did a week ago.) I tried listerine, canker sore patches, tylenol but nothing is working! I finally made my appointment for the dentist and it's tomorrow but I was just wondering what if he couldnt help me?! I can't even sleep because of the pain. It wakes me up every hour so for this whole week after three hours of waking up i just stay up because I can't stand trying to sleep anymore! but when I stay up i get chills and i will be freezing but i will drench my blankets and pjs in sweat! plz does anyone know what will help me?

thank you for reading my question.

Is anybody into that wholesome schoolgirl look?

Posted on March 23, 2011

Here's what I mean. First of all, I hate silicon and bleached blonde hair. Unlike many guys, I'm not into that barbie doll look. I'm into the natural look. The advantage to women who have size A cups is the fact that they have faster metabolisms thereby allowing them to stay thin more easily. Heavier women have larger cup sizes. I see the advantages of both. I know enough about the female anatomy to know that the fundamental laws of genetics won't allow them to have a size 2 waste and a size D cup. Pamela Anderson is fake as a 3-dollar bill.
Anyway, here's what I like besides being natural. I prefer natural dark hair over bleached blonde hair. I'll take that any day of the week over the bleached hair. I like a girl who has lots of personality, a sense of humor, and the cognitive ability for abstract thinking. I like a girl who has the mental capacity to keep up with the conversation nontheless.
When it comes to looks, I have a fetish for braids, buns, and pigtails. I love pigtails. I prefer the braided ones over the straight ones. I also love braided buns or hair-clipped buns. Anything that has to do with braids wins me over. I'm a huge fan of French braids and Dutch braids.
Also, my big hang-up is bad teeth. For me to date a girl, she must take good care of her teeth. For some guys poor weight management is the biggest hang-up. For me, it's poor dental hygiene. I work at a cafeteria with several poor black and hispanic people. A lot of them have the most wretched-looking teeth I've ever seen. One woman looks like she bit into a steel rod or something. That is so disgusting. Some of the other women have black rotting teeth.
I like bobby sox, too. That's one thing I love it that girls wear. I love it when they wear long tube socks and gypsy scarfs. I'm not going to tell you what I was thinking when I saw a really hot girl in my anthropology class wearing long argyle socks, a gypsy scarf on her head, and her hair done in braided pigtails. Anyway, are there others like me that are into that wholesome natural-looking clean-cut school girl look?
I'm sorry if I mentioned race. I know that's a hot topic for some people. I wasn't trying to be politically incorrect or anything. I suspect a lot of these people are probably too poor to afford adequate dental care.
I said "natural hair" color bitch! If you'd paid close attention I said I don't like "bleached blonde" hair. I know what my avatar looks like. My blonde hair isn't out of the bottle.
No that's not right. You're not even close. Nice try douchebag. I never said I hated any race and I never said I dated underage girls. I don't like Pamela Anderson because she's fake and shallow. I don't mind natural blonde hair. And FYI the last girl I dated was hispanic. The girl I dated before was Asian. Before you make a bold statement like that, you might want to pay attention to EVERYTHING. Nothing like talking to dense people with selective hearing, eh?
I missed the part where I said I didn't like heavy girls, too.

Low Blood Sugar (Glucose) Hypo in Diabetes – Hindi Language. Dr Anup, MD Teaches series.

Posted on March 5, 2011

Low Blood Sugar (glucose) or hypo is one of the most dangerous complications of diabetes. It can kill a patient in a few minutes. It can also cause serious harm leading to a vegetative state for the patient. With the renewed focus on tighter control of blood sugar (glucose) levels to prevent long term complications occurrence of hypos will increase. A right treatment instituted in the right manner will correct the problem without any long term effects. Failure to institute this treatment can cause permanent brain damage, stroke and death. Low blood sugar in diabetes can be avoided. If it occurs it can be successfully treated if the right approach is used. The management of low blood sugar starts with knowing the symptoms of low blood sugar and by understanding that why it occurs , says Dr. Anup, MD If you want to purchase a DVD copy of this video to gift to someone buy it at www.amazon.com and search under Dr Anup Teaches series or look for ISBN 9781603350000 If you can not afford to pay for watching this video contact us and we will help you.

Why do I keep getting so many cavities?

Posted on February 24, 2011

I have never had a problem with my dental hygiene, but ever since I have turned 14, I have been getting so many cavities. Last year was the worst with 9 cavities all at once. Since then I have limited sugar drinks, I mainly drink water. I use to eat lemons, but I no longer do because the dentist said it was contributing to the formation of cavities. I also limited the candy I eat, and I now use sugarless gum. I brush and floss twice a day, and use fluoride mouth wash. I still, however, had 2 cavities at my last check up, and I may actually need a root canal. Why do I so much trouble with my teeth? I am trying to do everything that the dentists say, but I still keep getting cavities.

What happened to my tooth?

Posted on February 23, 2011

For background, I'm a twenty-four-year-old female with excellent dental hygiene. I always brush and floss, and have never had a cavity or gum problems in my life. I am one of those people who just have any dental problems. No plaque, no bad breath, no gum issues, no sensitivity...I've been using a Reach flosser and various sonic toothbrushes for years, and I've never used any whitening products ever because I'm worried that I'll hurt my teeth.

I've been using the same toothpaste (Crest Complete, day and night versions) and then rinsing with ACT fluoride mouthwash for years, and I wasn't consuming anything weird or acidic or otherwise bad or taking any medications. I eat a good diet, I take vitamins, and I wasn't making out with anybody who could have given me mouth herpes or something.

About a month ago, I started getting sensitivity in the upper right quadrant of my mouth and thought that I'd finally gotten a cavity, but it went away the next day and I had intermittent pain for about a week. Then one day I woke up and my mouth hurt so bad that I almost couldn't stand it, but I was broke, so I didn't go to the dentist.

One of my molars on that side -- second to the back -- was sticking out ridiculously far as if it was significantly longer than any of my other teeth and if anything touched it (including my tongue), it would hurt so bad. When I tried to floss in between that tooth and the back tooth, it took ALL of my strength to push the floss through as if that tooth and the very back tooth had suddenly become too close together. This happened literally overnight, and by the end of that day, the cheek side of my gum started hurting. I developed a sore along the top of the gum on that side that went from the back of my mouth to my incisors in about a week. It felt like an extra flap of skin and then turned into what I can only describe as a long, rectangular blister.

It hurt SO much. Seriously. It hurt worse than when I had pancreatitis last year.

The only thing I did was I kept brushing and flossing and started using G.U.M Rincinol. A week later, these blister like sores started peeling off my gum, leaving raw gums behind that healed normally. The sensitivity continued and the tooth was still jutting out too far, but now, everything is fine. It's like none of this ever happened and there's no pain, no sensitivity, no problems flossing, and my tooth is back to it's normal place.

I've googled and I didn't find anything that really sounded like what I went through.

I don't have a lot of money, so going to the dentist is something I only want to do if I'm totally screwed. The pain is gone, I have no symptoms, but I would feel so much better if I just understood what happened and if it's a sign that something else is happening that I need to get medical attention for.

Please don't respond with 'go to a dentist' as I am avoiding doing that because I'm busted for money right now and if I could afford to do that, I wouldn't be asking here.

Thank you for your time. Any advice is appreciated. :)
Update: Thank you to the first responder.

I'd like to add that I'm using Crest Pro-Health not Crest Complete. I have no idea why I typed that.

Also, I'm twenty-four as I said and according to dental x-rays I've had in the past, I have wisdom teeth, but they haven't actually made an appearance yet. I'm not sure if wisdom teeth could cause the sores in my mouth though.

Posted on February 10, 2011

I just did my last prophylaxis in January ,but I still feel itchy in my gum for around 2 weeks ( swollen and looks pumped) .There's no bleeding anywayz either on my toothbrush or floss. So what the problem is it?
i'dont think there's infecion cuz there's no bleeding or puss coming out.

I think I have gingivitis on my teeth, my gums are inflamed and have 1 blister, do i need to go to the dentist?

Posted on January 21, 2011

I make a good habit of brushing and flossing, I practice good dental hygiene, however my gums are inflamed on the top and bottom, and I have developed blisters, I looked around on the internet and have found out that these are all symptoms of gingivitis. However, my question is if I will need to see a dentist for a deep cleaning, or can I solve this with further brushing, flossing, and mouth wash at home?

Is it possible to reverse gingivitis?

Posted on January 11, 2011

I've had gingivitis (swollen/red gums) pretty much my entire life. I've always had pretty good dental hygiene, but I never flossed or use mouthwash regularly. When I would go to the dentist, flossing would be very painful and I would bleed a lot.

I have made reasonable efforts to try and reverse my gum problem. I picked up an electric toothbrush, ~90 floss picks and some mouthwash. By brushing with an electric brush 2-3 times a day, flossing twice a day and using mouthwash twice a day, can I reverse gingivitis? Like I said earlier, its been a problem of mine almost my whole life
