Answer 1

See your dentist.: This can be so many different things that my best advice is to let a dentist see it to find out what it is and if anything needs to be done about it.

Answer 2

Cyanosis: Purple lips also known medically as cyanosis. It can be cause by extreme cold. More serious condition that cause this can be related to the heart and respiratory system.

Answer 3

Many causes: Purple lips, also known as cyanosis in medical terminology, is caused by the discoloration of the skin and membranes. The area that is affected by cyanosis appears to be bluish in color. Though purple lips can be caused due to cold weather, it can also be a cause for concern, as it may be a symptom of underlying diseases related to the heart and respiratory system.

Answer 4

Payment plan: Any otc system will proabably be a waste of money. A professionally made tray & system may be able to painlessly whiten your teeth, and many dentists offer payment plans to allow you to make small monthly payments & get the smile of your dreams..

Answer 5

Whitening : The cheapest but effective over the counter whitening agent are crest white strips. They take several weeks to work and the whitening doesn't last long unless it is done periodically.

Answer 6

Several causes: The technical term is atrophic glossitis or bald tongue. It is caused by the absence of papilla which are the small bumps that cover the tongue. Diabetes, anemia, celiac disease and certain nutritional deficiencies are common causes as are anti-cancer drugs. It can also be caused by an inherited nerve disorder called riley-day syndrome.

Answer 7

Loss of surface buds: Smooth tongue is caused by the loss of the surface papilla or taste buds of the tongue. You may have a reduced ability to taste and can have various causes from vitamin deficiency to allergic reaction. The condition is usually temporary, but if it lasts then you may want to see a doctor to find out what is causing the problem.

Answer 8

All abscesses : Require drainage for proper healing. Regardless of location.

Answer 9

Yes... See A Dentist: Yes, treatment is required. Antibiotics may be necessary to resolve the pus which you are describing as a white pimple like growth. An abscess usually becomes more painful as it seeks to find a way out. At some point it will break open & spill the pus out into your system. You need to resolve this asap & see a dentist as the bacterial load will not be healthy for you & is potentially serious.

Answer 10

Yes: Most oral abscess will need to be drained and treated, and not just with antbiotics. You need to remove the cause of the infection inorder for it to heal completely.

Answer 11

No, not at all: Seeing a dentist is best. The dentist can evaluate the location and the size of the abscess. This then determines if antibiotics alone is needed, if antibiotics and some kind of cleaning procedure is needed, and if surgical intervention is needed.

Answer 12

Cause of headache: The best way to tackle a headache is to figure out what's causing it in the first place - is it a migraine, from not eating breakfast this am, from skipping a dose of a medicine, from not getting enough sleep? There can be many reasons. For the run of the mill dull headache, i usually like to try some Ibuprofen and/or tylenol (acetaminophen) first and see how it feels after an hour or so.

Answer 13

Headaches: Your headaches could be coming from tension, dehydration, lack of sleep/poor sleep, skipping meals, stress, teeth grinding, sleep apnea/snoring, or chronic sinus problems among other things. See a doctor to get checked out so you can get som ehelp for your headaches.

Answer 14

Get checked out: A good start at finding potential headache triggers would be to maintain a diary. Every time you have a headache write down what you were doing, the foods you ate that day, alcohol, smoking, caffeine, stress, how much sleep you had the night before, eye strain, etc. Try to find patterns in your headache so that you can learn what things to avoid. Get checked by your doctor.
