Health - 18 October 2006

I went to a dentist today for the first time in 5 years and she said I needed what probably amounts to $5000 or more in dental work. !5 cavities, bone loss, pockets etc. I brush twice a day and floss daily, eat a healthy diet and I seem to have no problems or pains now. It was a free promotional dental checkup by a telemarketer. Do you think she's being honest? Its a very nice new office with all modern equipment etc. Should I get a second opinion from another dentist? How do I get an objective opinion?

Well im 16 and i havent had my period in almost a year. No i'm not pregnant because im still a virgin and is waitng for marriage to give it up. But my periods have never been regular. They have always been either too frequent or they just wont come at all. Please tell me whats happening! I started my period when i was 10 and i know they should be regular right now. I havent told my mom yet because i dont want 2 see a doctor. I'm pretty private about my body. I'm not over weight im 113 pounds and i am 5'4. Also when i do have my periods they are heavy and i used a pad every hour. Can you all please help me out please.

And please be nice with your answers.

I was pretty sick about a week ago and hadn't had water in probably a month before that. I noticed that I looked terrible after getting over my cold. It seemed as though I looked very tired. Is this normal? What can be done? How long will it take to get my regular appearance back if I drink a lot of water?

Okay, so I usually have a bad taste in my mouth and a brown tongue. A tactless friend with a keen nose swears I don't usually have bad breath, but it's still gross. Anyway, I heard of a cure for bad breath that involves gargling with a solution of one part salty water to one part hydrogen peroxide. It works wonders! So imagine my dismay to learn that even diluted hydrogen peroxide can irritate your mouth and cause a condition called hairy tongue. Everything I could find just said that repeated use does this, but they didn't say how often you need to do it to cause a problem. Is there any safe amount I can do this, like every other day or once a week? If not, do you have any other ideas? Regular brushing and tongue scraping don't work, nor does mouthwash.

I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder and lately I've been having really severe panic attacks. It's come to the point where I avoid everything. I've been going to therapy for almost five years now. I try to tell myself that nothing bad is going to happen to me but I just end up panicking more. I've also tried some abdominal breathing techniques. Any other suggestions?
