My 5 year old has a tooth abscess and his dentist can't see him until monday. Should i try and find a doctor to start antibiotics before then? In brief: Tooth pain

If there is a recent medical history on record at your child's dentist's office, they should be able to call a prescription in to the pharmacy, if you've spoken with them, and they think the symptoms warrant an antibiotic.

You shouldn't need to find a different doctor who can call the pharmacy for you.

Dr. Gary Sandler's answer:

My 8year old son has really bad shaped and yellowish teeth after the milk teeth fell out. What can I do to whiten them at least? In brief: Pedodontic consult

Rather that rely on answers given to you by dentists over the internet, it would be prudent for you to consult with a pedodontist who can actually examine your son and suggest some solutions.

Normally we do not recommend tooth whitening at this age. Perhaps a professional cleaning is all that is necessary. There might be some temporary measures such as composite bonding until he is older. ...See more

Ok, so i'm 17, never had sex before. My left inner lip of my vagina stings pretty bad when it touches something, like when i wipe. Please help! In brief: Pain

You should be under the care of a gynecologist if you have pain in the vaginal area.

It doesn't matter if you have not had sex before. It still needs to be checked by a physician.

Dr. Christine Fox answered:

What are the little sore bumps on your gums? In brief: Sore bumps

The description of " sore bumps" is not enough to provide a diagnosis of your problem. A dentist would need to see the bumps and do a thorough examination, medical history review, along with xrays to determine the cause.

Make an appointment for a dental examination.
