Someone I know just knocked out their two front teeth

Now, what shall I get them for christmas?

So far I have thought of:
An apple
Pepperami Selection

Any other ideas?

P.S. Before anyone complains, this chap has a huge sense of humour so Im not being nasty.

I have a partial swelling of my gums in the front of my mouth. I brushed my entire gumline extensively with a soft-bristled regular toothbrush (I was rough so as to encourage bleeding in case there was infection I needed to get out), and then my usual battery powered vibrating brush. I then swished salt water and swabbed the area with high quality tequila (since rubbing alcohol is not for internal use). I'm also drinking hot green tea to encourage blood flow in and out of the area. The swelling has gone down, but its still at an annoying level. Is there anything else I can be doing?

Seeing a dentist isn't an option because my health insurance doesn't cover dental.

The ones I'm most concerned about are wheat, dairy, peanuts, and egg. He's allergic to many more things, but these are the ones that are in practically eveything.
Proffesional medical responses are appreciated.
Yes, that number is one-thousand-six-hundred.

I am considering having hair transplant surgery at some point in the near future & would very much like to know if anyone has had the procedure done in Poland.

The reason I am considering Poland is the obvious one - cost! Surely it has to be cheaper than having it done in London or elsewhere in the UK. But what are the pros and cons? Do the consultants tend to speak English to a high enough standard? What about aftercare? How long would I have to remain in Poland? Is it possible to have a consultation done here in London & send the written report to the clinic in Poland in order to get a price estimate? And above all - are the standards comparable to the UK/US?

I am very interested in hearing from anyone who has undergone the procedure in Poland - or anyone who has left the UK & had the procedure done abroad in order to save on costs.

Please let me know if you have any experiences to share. Many thanks!

When my dear Mother was alive she told me that drinking (Raw eggs??) and sherry builds you up.
Several years later I forgot this but was talking to a relation today who said the same.
Is this true or an old wives tale?
If it is true then how does it build you up physically or does it build up the immune system?
Thank you for any help.

If one finds a lump on the surface of his or her body, but beneath the skin (not a dermal lump, but subcutaneous), and it doesn't grow for a month, and it wasn't there two months ago, is that a good indicator that it's not a cancerous/malignant tumor?

For example, let's say you found a round, 2.5cm lump on the surface of your chest, but not part of the skin, and it hasn't grown for a month and it wasn't there before a month or two ago, can one be reasonably confident that it's not a malignant tumor? All of my research so far suggests that's the case.

I currently have a copper t coil and have experienced various problems with it including excessive blood loss and, most recently, bleeding for in excess of 6 weeks.

Although my current coil has a life expectancy of 8 years, I've had mine for 5 years and it has been suggested by a Dr for me to have it removed and replaced with a Merina.

I don't fare well with hormones, the combined pill gave me such serious headaches that I used to be on the verge of blacking out. The progesterone only pill left me feeling out of sorts and at the mercy of vicious mood swings. The Dr explained that the Merina doesn't have the same effect as the oral contraceptives as the hormone is delivered directly to the uterus and very little of the hormone is absorbed into the blood stream. She thinks I won't experience the same side effects as the oral pill but I would like to hear from people that have used, or are currently using the Merina and what their experiences of it are (good or bad)

what is good for your arm if your arm hurts some and you was fighting some and somebody hit your arm a little bit.
My arm hurts a little bit. A while back, like 2 weeks ago I was fighting a little bit with some guys and one of them had a stick like a wooden stick and hit me in the chest and the arms a little bit with the stick.
One of my arms it hurts a little bit when i move it too much or lean on it or try to pick something up.
I think that might eventually go away though. what is good for your arm if your arm hurts a little bit though you was fighting with some guys a little bit and you got hit in the arm a little bit and your arm hurts some. is aspirin good for you if your arm hurts a little bit or what.

Ive always sorta.. kinda lacked energy and get tired quick. But lately ive been waking up feeling like a train wreck. All groggy feeling like a weird hang over almost. Its been like this for about a month now. Throughout the day i always feel like im tired and could use a nap. I always want to sleep. Im young by the way, 21, and actually im very athletic and fit. I workout out on a regular basis, but my diet isnt the greatest. I have had problems with my liver in the pass though. I had blood testes that came back with high LFTs and had pains in my lower right region where the liver is. I dont know if this could be related. Ive cut down tremendously with alcohol. The pass 5 months ive only drank 3 times and started dieting on occasions. Any help would be appreciated. I hate feeling liek this. You should wake up feeling refresh in the morning. Not feeling like your waking up from being knock unconsicous by Mike Tyson.
