I went to the dentist today with toothache in a tooth that I got a pretty big filling in about 9 months ago. Until the weekend, I hadn't had any problems after getting the filling, but it started to hurt on Friday and got progressively worse. I went to the dentist today, he took out the filling and did a little bit more drilling, then put some kind of medicated filling in the tooth.

I have to go back next week to see whether I need a root canal in it or if I can just get a filling in it again. Why would I need a root canal in it and why do I have to wait for a week before he will know if I do or not?

Last night after my shower, I tripped over my dog, fell on the carpet and got a little rug burn on the top part of the shaft of my penis. Is there anything to worry about? should I use anti-biotic cream on it? I have the cheap kind and I have the triple antibiotic but its expired. or should I just wait it out and let it heal on its own? thanks if anybody can help.

I have been working since I was 15 years old.My mom is a basketcase on disability who kicked me out at age 17.My dad is a miserable workaholic who will do anything to save a dime.My dad feels guilty for my mom kicking me out so he has bought beater cars for me for the last 12 years.He holds the car over my head while he calls me a stupid child (I'm a 30 year old woman).I am smart and have survived on my own,graduated college, and other things I am proud of.But I have never had time to really figure out what I want.I hate my job,I want to quit and just take a break.So I can think and relax.I don't even know what that feels like.My stomach is in knots and my life has hit rock-bottom.How can I do this?Should I file for unemployment?How can I survive without going into debt?I just recently escaped from debt,and I don't want to go down that path again.I need to rest.I can't stand coming to this office hell,yet I don't want to jump into another job out of desperation for money again. Help.

I'm 21. For over a few years I have had problems with indigestion. Most of the time, it affects me on the left side of my chest and bothers my left arm. (It does not hurt, but it does bother it) For the longest time, I thought it was indigestion. But with the recent health of my grandmother, I'm beginning to wonder if I might heart issues instead. I'm eating better for the most part and have lost a lot of weight. I have tried to talk to my mother about this, but push the issue aside, claiming it's my breathing pattern (I breathe through my mouth mostly due to my allergies) and that I'm too young to have any problems with my heart. Anyway, does this sound like something serious?

My friend is twelve years old and she weighs about 82 pounds. Her parents are always on her case about her weight. She tells me that she doesn't look thin, and wants to lose more. Though, she is afraid that her parents will be scared and send her to a hospital. She looks very average and healthy. I don't know how to help her. Please Help!!!!

I already have a dentist appointment, but trying to find out why I have a large swollen gum in my back teeth. I'm a hug popcorn eater and am thinking it might be a popcorn kernel that logged its way between my tooth and gum causing the large swelling. Does this sound accurate???

I suck on ice from time to time and I went to take a cube out of the ice tray, and like an idiot, stuck it directly on my tounge. Well, I guess it was too cold because after that, it stuck to my tounge. Without thinking, I just grabbed the cube and pulled hard. Well you can only imagine the pain. It felt like parts of the skin on my tounge had came off along with the ice cube. It really hurts. I looked at my tounge and all I saw was a bit of blood but it feels like the worst tounge burn ever. I ran warm water on my tounge but don't know what else to do, since i've never had anything wrong with my tounge before. Any suggestions on what to try?
