What happens if someone takes the wrong does of Insulin for diabetes?
If someone had diabetes and were unable to get to their own insulin and (unwisely) took someone else's medication, what would happen if a) the dose was too strong b) the dose was too little?
P.S. this is research for a fictional story and hasn't actually happened!

Is swallowing toothpaste bad for an adult?
I think it's disgusting. Every night when my boyfriend brushes his teeth he swallows the toothpaste Instead of spitting it out and I can't get him to stop. He said it hasn't made him sick so far so it can't be that bad. I think it's just so gross. Can anyone help me?

Diseases caused by not brushing your teeth?
MY step-dad is 46 years old and hasn't brushed his teeth in 35 years,out of pure laziness and it's disgusting. His teeth are pretty much rotted out of his mouth, I have a newborn, and I was wondering what if any, diseases are caused by not brushing your teeth? I know heart disease, but I don't really like him being around my son because of how dirty is mouth must be from this. Anyone know any good "tips"/advice about whats lurking around in his mouth that all of my family should watch out for? Thanks
How can I get relief for upper back muscle pain?
It started a few months back, and hasn't really got any better. I've never had an injury before so not sure how to handle it. I get sharp and shooting upper back pain that feels like it is coming from a muscle.
Boyfriend's breath is so bad…becoming unattracted to him?
My bf has bad breath do to tartar and plaque build up on his front bottom teeth. It looks really gross and it smells really bad. He works overnight shift so he goes the whole day w/o brushing and brushes only b4 work, which makes it worse. I go to the dentist regularly and encourage him to do the same. I have told him many times to brush his teeth 2 or more times a day, mouthwash and floss! He will do none of the above.
He bought a small bottle of Listerine last month and hasn’t opened it yet! I have offered mints and gum on numerous occasions and even told him if it’s the cost of the dental care that he is concerned with I’ll even help pay! We have been dating for a while so we very open with each other. I can’t even enjoy having a face to face conv. w/ him cuz of the breath. All of this is making me to unattracted to him. I’m out of options. I don’t want to leave him cuz of his breath but if I am turned off by s/one I know the relationship will not last. Help!
Do they clean your plaque off your teeth after you get your braces off?
I have a little plaque build-up behind my two front lower teeth in the center, and there's some "cement" on my lower molars, and my teeth aren't yellow but they aren't freakishly white either, so I guess my brightness is on a average level, but when they do take your braces off, do they clean up your teeth from all the plaque and whiten them? I'm asking this because my friend had braces since sixth grade (is in eight now) and he had terrible, terrible cement all around his brackets from not brushing his teeth, and when he got them off, they were squeaky clean!!! My dentist hasn't said anything about my plaque yet, but they just said to continue brushing my teeth better, and I have, but the plaque doesn't go away like that. So, will they really clean up my teeth??
Gums receding, how far is too far?
I've noticed I've got gum recession mostly on the left side of my mouth, upper jaw. I'm surprised my dentist hasn't noticed/said anything, but I'm seeing him tomorrow for a deep cleaning anyway, so hopefully he'l notice.
What I'd like to ask, is could flossing have caused this gum recession? Also how far is too far for the gums to recede? By comparison to the right side of my mouth (where gum recession seems minimal at best), the difference in gum height is about 2-3mm.
Is that so bad that my teeth could be nearing the falling out phase? The gums do hurt to floss, so im going to stop that for a while. Oh and one of the teeth has a little lump near the roots, is it plaque or part of the tooths root structure?
God I hope i don't lose my teeth, only bloody twenty years old! Dentures at my age!
What happens if you dont brush your teeth for 4+ years?
I went to the dentist the other day and he said theres a bit of plaque ill just clean that off and he did....
anyway, i didn't tell him i havn't brushed/flossed/mouthwashed in 4-5 years or so... so what could happen to my teeth due to me not brushing. Oh and my breath never smells bad and my teeth are perfectly white and look normal. My girlfriend didn't notice til i told her and she doesnt particularly care because not brushing hasn't made my teeth yuck or my breath bad. So yeah what could happen to me due to me not brushing
could my diet affect my teeths health....the main foods i eat are lettuce,fish,pepsi max,cucumber and the rest is totally random
but they are the main things
