answer:Thank you for your query,If you use your fingers, then they will not clean the teeth properly.You can use children tooth brush, these are brushes with very small head and handle. They have very soft bristles. These brushes are meant for children.Regarding tooth paste usage as she cannot spit, you can use children tooth paste or plain water will do along with proper brushing.

answer:Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. With your kind of history, I would advise you for an ultrasound of the abdomen before getting your tubal done to rule out your apprehensions. Till then I would advise you for an anti spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief only.I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
question:my 5 year old daughter is on movicol and mevebeverine she has severe stomach cramps lasting about 2-3 mins the pain is that sore her face is scarlet and her eyes water, she is now coming her right eyeball is sore when this happens should i get her checked or leave till tomorrow. she has been getting the cramps since december and is waiting to see a specialist but the eyeball thing has only started today.
answer:Hello, welcome to HCM. The sore eye could be due to infection by a virus causing conjunctivitis. She should repeatedly wash her eye with clean water and avoid touching it. Take her to the doctor tomorrow in case she is not having any trouble with vision. Her abdominal pain could be due to parasitic infection whic is very common in this age group. She must undergo some blood tests and stool tests to confirm that. Wish her good health.
question:hi i got my wisdom teeth through about 12 months ago, and i have been suffering increasingly from motion sickness also. It occured to me the other day that i only started suffering when my wisdom teeth came through. Could this be a link causing the problem? and if so, will removal then help the problem?
answer:Hello,Do you have any symptoms of an infection?These include redness, swelling, drainage, and pain. Pressure could cause some issues with your equilibrium. This may affect your balance and give you a motion sickness feeling.An infection that drains could cause an increase in acid content and have gastric disturbances. This could give you a nauseated feeling.Keep in mind if your wisdom teeth have erupted fully, are in function and you are able to keep them clean, you should not have discomfort associated with them. Consider having a dental exam to evaluate the wisdom teeth. An extraction may be recommended if problems are diagnosed.I recommend that you make sure that your blood tests are normal and have a physical if you are due for this. Other systemic problems are more likely to be associated with motion sickness. Your blood sugar level should tested. I hope this has been helpful. Thank you for your inquiry,
question:I had a Dentist appointment and i had a tooth filling this was around 12pm and its 4:04pm now... so i got anestithia (however you spell that) on my right side of my mouth and my jaw was hurting really bad and it still is... but... about one hour ago i took a nap and i think that i bit my tounge (which has anesthisia) and its really swollen and im having this sharp pain whenever i swallow in the right side of my throat... please help me. im scared that when i bit my tounge i did something to myself and its gonna stay swollen :/
answer:Hello,Please do not worry. Biting your tongue or lip is always a risk until the anesthesia wears off. Don't eat or have any extreme temperature liquids until you have a normal sensation and control. Take some antiinflammitory medication and rinse with warm salt water. Call your dentist and make the office aware of your amount of discomfort. Have your dentist take a look if anything worsens or you do not feel better with the antiinflammitory medication such as Tylenol or Motrin. Just make sure that you do not think there is any allergic reaction that may be occurring. Benedryl is recommended and immediate attention required if you have difficulty breathing.There is an injection that can reverse the local anesthesia affects. Ask if your dental office offers this in the future.I hope you will feel better quickly. Thank you for your inquiry.
question:I have a five yr old granddaughter, who is being raised as a vegetarian, but is living on breads, pasta, sliced cheese and cottage cheese. She sucked a soother till four when the dentist suggested it was doing damage to her teeth and her mouth. I was wondering if she also may have a sensitive palate. What foods could I encourage her to eat?
answer:Hello,I wonder if the soother has caused an open bite? Please look to see if her teeth come together when she bites down. Often, these can put pressure on the upper front teeth causing the teeth and upper arch to move forward. She may then breath through her mouth and dry out her tissue. This can cause soreness. This can result in a tongue habit of pushing against her teeth or tongue thrust. Plaque will dry against the teeth making it harder to remove. Decay and giginivitis will become a concern.Make sure she takes adequate vitamins especially with a restricted diet. Adequate protien is needed. Beans are a good source of protein. Some foods help cleanse such as celery. Avoid high sugars and sticky foods. Avoid high acid content. Some fruits can have high sugar and acid such as orange juice. Do not consume excess.I hope this is helpful. Schedule a visit to an orthodontist or a pedodontist for a full evaluation and recommendations.Thank you for your inquiry.
