So i got a few fillings yesterday but i was wondering since the doctors puts a filling in a cavity hole does the tooth grow and close or does the filling stay there forever?

My teeth are a little yellow, probably due to poor hygiene. Is it possible to get them back to a clean white color without damaging the enamel? What I mean is...can I use multiple whitening treatments until my teeth are white, or would that damage my enamel to do so?

Also, after I do get my teeth white (if I do) how do I keep them white? I already brush my teeth everday so what am I doing wrong?
Any advice is welcome.

I was playing with my dog, and he slammed into my face full force, he weighs 55 pounds. I immediately got a nosebleed, it bled profusley for about 15 minutes. It has finally stopped. I have never had a nosebleed before so I don't know how serious this is. My nose doesn't hurt at all so I doubt it's serious. But I'm about to go to bed and I'd hate to bleed to death during my sleep, lol. Should I see a doc about this if I'm still bleeding in the morning?

went to ER almost 3 weeks ago for sudden sharp pain in lower left chest. EKG was fine, monitor was fine sent home have been to primary, gastro and see cardio doc tom.
The ache has been pretty constant since then with occassional little pains in different areas of the chest but mostly left side to middle both above breast and under as low as bottom of ribcage. when I have a little sharp pain it hurst more if I move or take deep breath. Entire chest feels a bit tight but not really any shortness of breath or coughing or wheezing.

Aside from the pain it makes me nervous that with some of the pains I sort of get an overall little wave of lightheadedness. this is only for a fraction of a second.

Plenty more symptoms available if anyone is interested. I do have gi symptoms and also asthma. If I swallow a gulp of a drink, chest sort of hurts in center as it goes down. I know it could be tons of things but just wondered if a cardiac prob would have such constant ache

I've heard that one should wait 3 hours after a meal before taking up exercise of any sort. Does that apply to drinks such as milk, coffee, tea, etc.?

The girl I am dating told me she has HPV and it was found in a PAP Smear when she was 16. She told me it was not sexually transmitted because she had only had sex with one guy at the time and had used protection. I don't believe her. Is this possible?

I have two teeth in the roof of my mouth. I had surgery to pull them down four years ago, with the intent of moving them into their rightful place (not the teeth directly next to my front teeth, but the next ones over). Well, it's been four years and it hasn't worked, and I am really sick of having two teeth in the roof of my mouth and two giant gaps where teeth should be. Plus, the roof of my mouth really, really hurts- I can't really eat hot/cold foods and it affects my ability to talk.
So my ortho recommended implants. My dentists disagrees- thinks we should do everything possible to save the teeth. I want implants. I have had braces for 8 years, and enough is enough!

So all I know is that they are screws that go into the bone. Does the procedure hurt? I heard they are extremely expensive and I don't know if my family can afford that- is there any way to do it for less money? Do they look real? Are there generally problems after? Any info would be great!

Hi
we have spent 2 years going to doctors and seeing a GI
specialist.
They refuse to test her for anything, saying it is too
upsetting for her.
Pediatrician gives merilax wich makes it runny but she still
wont go unless we give a suppository or make her push.
she cries for about 1 hour on the potty.
Still only goes about weekly.
Doctors are not helping saying it is stool holding.
I can not believe this because we see her push with nothing coming out.
when she doesnt go for a while she sometimes throws up.
We have asked about stenosis,gluten and thryroid
and begged for tests everywhere.
Why is no one concerned about my child?
Please I dont need to be told to go to a doctor again.
Does, anyone know what these symptoms could be.

Have you ever felt pleasure "down there" when you apply pressure to another part of your body. I think its kinda odd. I was poking myself like right above my hip and then it started feeling good there. I don't know what that is all about but it is weird. Have you ever done that?

Over the last year or so I have noticed a small "squishy" lump right above my ankle on my lower leg. It is about 1 inch long, squishy feeling, and doesn't hurt to touch. I recently went to my physician and after taking an x-ray he said that he was not sure what it was, and is having me scheduled for an MRI. Also, nearly two years ago I took a rough fall in which my ankle took a hard bump (not sure if it is related). There really isn't any pain in my leg, but there is a discomfort feeling. Any idea what this could be? My physician told me that he was confident it was nothing bad, but I am a bit nervous.

I sleep in the morning and wake up in the evening so my routine is totally opposite of the real one. But I do get my 8 to 9-hour sleep. Is it still unhealthy? Or if you get enough sleep no matter what time, it's the same case as the one where you sleep at the right time?

I am naturally skinny (i eat like a pig yet no pounds are gained!)and am tall so get lots of comments like
"are you anerexic?"
"Damn ur skinny!"
"You need to eat more!"
And it is really upsetting. In todays world it is ok to comment on a thin persons weight but no one is EVER allowed to comment on a larger persons weight.
Why cant people leave the skinny chicks alone!
