Well my daughter is 13 and she has a little hole in between her 2 teeth... I don't know if this is tooth decay because she doesn't brush her teeth before going to bed and she usually eats sweets before bed....

Please help does she need braces or a filling?!!

PS--About 3 yrs. ago my daughter's adult tooth came in before her baby tooth fell out. The dentist pulled the tooth out but there is a hole where the baby tooth used to be BUT THE ADULT TOOTH IS STILL IN THE BACK AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT!!!

PLEASE HELP

Why is it that I'm embarrased to go out in anything less than jeans and a sweatshirt, while some one who in my view should be embarrased just to walk out of the house in the morning can wear short shorts and a tank top? (>.<)

Alright. So i'm a 16 year old girl who is 5'9" 170lbs and stuck there. I've thought about dieting/losing weight many times before but had little success. I dont drink soda, nor do i eat fast foods (at most once a month). I also play community soccer twice a week. My eating habits are fairly good but i dont know what i'm missing. Any help to a busy high school teenager?

Can anyone speak from experience about something that truely works? I am in Australia, so things available locally would be good....I know the key is diet and exercise but I really am having trouble trying to lose weight. I dont eat a great deal, never eat junk food, bags of chips, ice cream. I think my main problem is carbs. I am a vegetarian and to feel full I eat a bit of pasta, etc.
I walk every day, or bike ride or rollerblade. I play netball. I just cant seem to shift the weight. Two years ago I was 10 kilos lighter, I think I have been depressed and this has added to my weight. I just want something to assist with my exercise and diet. Please help! I am in need of help, this is really depressing me. I want to lose 10 kilos.

I've heard of things like iDoser, but I'm more looking for things like that, but that make your brain relaxed.

This morning, I got shocked from a metal spatula touching the pan!! It was a weird feeling at first.. and it didn't occur to me that it was a shock from the stove through the pan through the spatula to me!! I reacted really quickly at first to the thing and it was one of those automatic pullbacks... and then I was stupid, because I didn't know I just got shocked.. I tried to flip my omelette again using the metal spatula.. and the second time, I noticed a weird sensation.. like a buzz.. but a really big noticeable buzz going through my arms.. it was SOOO WEIRD and really scary, I'm not sure if I withdrew my arm back fast that time.. I was too caught up in what just happened, so I didn't notice... but it scared the bajeebus out of me.. Am I going to die from the electric shock??? Oh.. and are stoves suppose to let out smoke from the ring things?? And has anyone experienced this "buzz" like shock??

Hi I've had back pain especially in my left shoulder, I took some photos and realized my left shoulder is higher than my right, Why is this, besides scoliosis, because I think it may be muscle related.

I have been put on Mirtazapine 30 mg and have gained a stone and a half in 4 weeks, my stomach is protruding and hard, I eat a healthy diet with lots of fibre,fruit and veg. Is it possible that the Mirtazapine can cause such a serious weight gain in such a short period of time? I know it says side effect is weight gain but this is ridiculous? Only sensible answers please

Ive been using some sensitive toothpaste for a while now and it says do not use for longer than 4 weeks. I have been and now my tooth (only one) is really starting to hurt when something cold touches it. Could the toothpaste be making it sensitive or is it a cavity? I have not had a cavity before so im not sure what its supposed to be like.
