How long does it take for the numbing medicine to wear off after a tooth filling??

I got the filling done about 2 hours ago and my mouth is still completly numb. I was just wondering how much longer it would take before the feeling would come back.

Serious answers only please.

I just got my wisdom teeth out

About how long does it take for the numbing medicine to wear off?
Thanks for everyone’s answers!

my dentist messed up, please please help ?!?

so yesterday i went to my dentist to get a cavity fixed. when the doctor gave me the novocaine shot, he hit a blood vessel/vein or something, i’m not really sure, but my whole cheek swelled up. as soon as i got home, my mouth was still numb but i put an ice pack on my cheek so the swelling would go down. after the medicine wore off i was in extreme pain so i took ibuprofen and put more ice on my cheek. i woke up this morning and it‘s STILL swollen. what can i do to make it go away and how long will it take for it to go away? i’m worried! AND i have to go back tomorrow to get one done on the other side. i’m really scared and i don’t want him to mess up again!

can I sue my dentist?

3/17 I went in @ 9 in the morning hoping if I needed any work done they could find time to do it. I started off by mentioning why i had waited 2 years to see a dentist, previously I have had horrible experiences with dentist and this day would be no different. First off I ended up leaving at 5 in the afternoon I had one extraction, deep cleaning on the left side only and 1/3 of a root canal. She left me there so many times for so long I had to be administered anesthesia a total of 3 more times. I complained to the manager about the wait and got some bleaching trays, chlorhexidine (sp) and bmi paste for my troubles. Later the next day when I saw my co-pays I realized the billing was wrong so I called and when I went in to get a print out of my bill I saw they charged me for the bmi paste and the chloro stuff. I got the chloro stuff taken off but they said the bmi paste couldn’t be free, I didn’t mind paying 27 dollars for it I just didn’t like feeling like I was tricked into buying it. I felt a little scared about going back to finish my work with this dentist but I thought “she’s a professional” WRONG! 3/24 I went back she swabbed that numbing stuff on my gums and before the swab dropped to the trash she jabbed me in the jaw with the needle, I heard a snap in my mouth followed by the worst pain i’ve ever felt. She continued to break my temporary crown and drill into my tooth, my gums weren’t at all numb AT ALL, I quickly stopped her and told her “As much as that shot hurt, my whole mouth should be numb”I continued to cry because it had hurt so bad and she handed me a napkin. She tried to explain how it‘s not suppose to be numb she still has to give me 4 more shots in some nerves but if that was the case why did she start drilling? I asked if she could put some more numbing cream on my gums and let it sit for a while and she told me “Sweetie, I could put the whole jar but it‘s not gonna help because it‘s not the needle that’s hurting you it‘s the medicine” Bull, I didn’t feel anything the first time. To finish this horrible experience the again left me waiting so long that the anesthesia wore off and they had to do the temporary crown fitting without any anesthesia, I was screaming, cursing, kicking it was so painful I wanted to get up and walk out but she let me know if I did and my tooth broke (because I didn’t have the crown) I was gonna be in a tremendous amount of pain. It was the worst day of my life, I cried so much that day I felt like it was payback for complaining.

Does my husband have phsychological problems?

I have been married for almost 6 months now and am pregnant in my 2nd month.

I have not been the same since i married him. I was once an active, playful, happy little person, but now i am not. A few days ago when i was depressed, i expressed my feelings in a long document. Maybe you could help me out when you read my notes.

Thanks a lot
=================

I feel really depressed because:

1)I don’t feel that I married someone who loves me. I don’t feel that he cares about my feelings. He doesn’t care if I am upset or depressed, or even crying in front of him. He doesn’t do anything about it. He knows it and knows I need support at that time, but he won’t approach me.
2)He knows that when he takes off his wedding ring, I get upset, and still when we are in a fight, he removes it and goes out without wearing it. I feel humiliated.
3)He is not worried about me. He leaves me go alone in not-so-safe places that might be dangerous and when I face him, he says that it is normal for me to do such things and that it is not the first time for me. He claims that all women do the same, so I don’t have to worry.
4)When we fight, he can leave me more than one whole week without talking to me or taking any initiative. I feel depressed at that time, very neglected and very unimportant. My health goes down.
5)I am pregnant and need emotional support – and he knows that – but he just doesn’t bother give it when I need it.
6)He hurts me with words. With acts. He won’t get me important stuff for my pregnancy (fruits and medicines) when we are in a fight. I am not priority number one. He just cant disconnect when we are in a fight.
7)He is very boring. He is not fun. He doesn’t take the initiative to do fun stuff and adventurous things that would make me happy. Even if I try to initiate abnormal but fun ideas, he lets me down with it. His idea of a free day is to relax in front of the TV or sit in a cafe with his friends or visit his mum at home. That’s why I stopped trying.
8)He doesn’t ask for sex. He doesn’t like my likes in sex and doesn’t like me to do them, and I don’t like his likes in sex. He is boring in sex and wont start something new.
9)He would leave me for a long time for his work, his friends, his mum…and I come last. He doesn’t miss me when he doesn’t see me for a long time.
10) I don’t feel pretty when I am with him. I feel ugly and don’t feel sexy. I am not wanted, and that’s why I stopped trying. I need support and confidence. I must be extra clean, extra sexy and extra seducy to bring him to me. If I am not ready, I won’t attract him.
11) If I don’t seduce him, why doesn’t he start? He never kisses me, hugs me or holds me, even when we are alone at home. We are not emotionally hot together and I feel that we are very far from each other .
12) He doesn’t show me his love. In public or even when alone.
13) He is always bored and depressed, and that’s how I am like now. He even said it to me.
14) I am hurt and broken hearted. I feel very weak.
15) I want to follow. I am sick of leading this relationship.
16) He wont communicate with me or accept criticism when I tell him the things that make me upset or mad.
17) A lot of people say that I changed and that I am not the active, happy, fun person that they used to know.
18) He won’t learn the things that make me happy.
19)He wont read or take advice for what makes me – and any other woman – happy.

Could he be phschologically sick? Or am i asking for too much

Yoga and healthy eating/exercise tips?

Ok so I am wanting to get into better shape and better health as well. I just recently went threw a break up not even 2 months ago that totally hit me in the face like a brick wall. I didn’t know it was coming in any way, shape or form. I had my lil’ “my life is over and I can’t go on with out him” moment and now I’m ready to start getting the new and improved healthy sexy body, make over me. I am 22 and in college right now + looking for a job. I am joining the gym and I’m also wanting to do yoga. I am starting to eat healthier and do home exercises as well. I am wanting to know how many times should someone workout and do yoga a week? I don’t want to over do myself at all. I am just asking for advice from people so please no rude comments. I am wanting to also get into better shape since the summer is coming and my brother and his buddy are coming home for leave from overseas(Army) and I want to be able to wear a 2 piece bikini and not a shirt or a pair of shorts over. Which I have never been able to do. Also I am wanting to become a homicide detective and I have to become a police officer for a certain amount of years and then hopefully they’ll let me become one. But I am also wanting to go threw the academy and need to be healthy and a lot more up speed than the rest because 1.) I’m a women, 2.) I’m 4’7″ and 3.) I only weigh 95 pounds (for now- until I build my muscle’s!)

I would love to hear what good advice/tips people have
If there’s any recipes you like to share that would be awesome
what time of workout .. really anything at all anyone would like to share that’s something positive would be greatly appreciated.

Calling all yoga and vegetarians?

I use to do yoga when I was in junior high, but stopped because I couldn’t make the time to do it. I’m feeling extremely stressed everyday and its wearing out my poor 20 year old body. I can tell because I don’t feel good at all.

I also want to exercise, but how would I work that in with yoga? Is it too extreme to do yoga and workout?

I want to try being a vegetarian, too. I tried it for about a week and loved it! I felt more energized in a day and felt like I could take on anything. I was wondering if you can give me any advice on becoming a vegetarian. I will find books and research on my own because asking you all seems lazy (lol).

Thanks for answering my question in advance!

Much Love,

Looking cute at the gym?

I go to the gym with 2 friends and they always look so cute! it makes me feel so self consious and i dont work out as hard. i dont have workout shorts, i would wear yoga pants but im probably going to get SO hot. ahh what should i doooo (haha) thank you everyone in advance
I have soffees but they make my legs look so badd. i will buy workout shorts but right now, i just dont have time. i will though.

How do you organize your workout for optimal success? Help Please!?

Hi. So I am 300 pounds, which is 100 pounds less than I weighed at this time last year. I have lost 100 pounds by going to the gym (Total Gym is awsome, they don’t judge and they have a personal trainer on staff to help you!) for 2+ hours at a time for 6 days a week, I also switched to a vegetarian diet. See originally I decided to go vegetarian to help me loose weight, then the more research I did the more I got into the whole concept of animal rights and whatnot, and when I am at the gym I aim for two hours but sometimes I don’t realize I’ve been there so long. Well here is my cunundrim. I have stopped loosing weight. I still stick to the same diet, I go to the gym and suddenly I haven’t lost any weight. It’s upsetting me cuz I work so hard. My trainer said if I start to work out at home too, essentially doubling my workouts, and cut down on my calories (I’m currently eating about 2, 400 a day) then I should kick start my weight loss again.
My trainer suggested pushups, crunches, Tae Bo, Yoga and Jogging to my program at home. I have some weights in 2, 3 and 5 pounds, I have resistance bands, and Tae bo and yoga videos to help me get started but now I need help putting together an appropriate workout. Which order should I do all this in, how long should I do each thing and do you have any tips or other recommendations I would be VERY VERY greatfull. My goal is ‘One-derland’ aka 199 pounds or less My health is very important to me, I have never been a ‘normal’ size, and for once I want to be. I want to be healthy (I’d be happy wearing a size 14! I am currently wearing a 22) and one day I want to be healthy enough to have a child of my own. So please please help me! Thanks.

HELP: HUGE crush on worker at gym…?

So a few weeks ago I noticed this incredibly attractive guy working at my gym. I was on the elliptical and I nearly fell over when I saw him. A few times when I’m in the workout room doing yoga he’s come in to show some prospective clients the room and honestly I love his voice (sounds weird but I can’t help it lol) AND his body looks pretty good too, but the best thing is his FACE, ooh he’s just so fine. I’m no ugly duckling but obviously whenever I work out I sweat and don’t wear cute outfits so I probably don’t stand out. I kind of want to go talk to him w/ my makeup on and a nice outfit, but I don’t know how I would even go about that or if I should, plus we’re both young and I don’t know if he’s a player or not. What should I do?
@I CAN: Lol I use to work at Build A Bear (kid’s place) and I got hit on all the time by random guys even though it’s a child environment. I really don’t think it matters as long as he doesn’t get caught. The manager isn’t hovering over him.

Describe your child’s clothing style. Brand-named clothing? Preppy? Athletic?

I thought this would be a fun question because I am seeing a lot of negative bashing around here. How do you dress your child(ren)? Where do you buy their clothing?
My son is 2 1/2 and all boy! He plays rough, gets dirty, and stinky!
No upscale brand name clothing here. I personally don’t care for the style of it, let alone the price tag! My son is the traditional T-shirt and shorts kinda kid. He wears a lot of athletic style outfits as well-they breathe easier. My son loves anything with sports or transportation.
I usually stick to department store brands like JC Penny, Mervyn’s, Kohl’s, Target, Old Navy, Sear’s, etc. At the outlet stores I like Osh Kosh & Carter’s. My son owns 1 Gymboree outfit-it was a gift.
I find these brands do wash and wear quite nicely with minimal shrinking & fading. We have only one child, so I don’t have to worry about saving clothing to pass down to another kid.
If I see a nice deal on Craigslist I’ll buy it.
How about the rest of you?

what do you think of this athletic outfit?

Can you make me a cool athletic outfit. (soccer)?

Back to school/first day outfits out Polyvore?

I’m gonna be a sophomore in high school (girl) and I’m looking for some first day/back to school outfits on Polyvore. I’m 5′ 3″ and athletic. I like color and I like skirts and dresses and jeans that are a little dressed up but not too fancy. I guess I kinda like clothes halfway between casual and nice. Oh and I HATE hollister with a burning passion haha thanks(:

Will just eating healthier and working out make me lose weight?

Okay so for a while I was constantly working out and counting calories. I gained weight then lost 11 pounds. But my body was always worn out and soar. No matter how many time’s I worked out It was still really sore. Plus I was tired all the time. Sometime’s I wouldn’t have the energy to get out of bed. For the last week I stoped counting calories but I kept eating healthy. I don’t eat any fried food. I stay away from High calorie foods. I never feel hungry and more. I still workout but I only do it three to four times a week I gained a little bit of weight. But now my pant’s are lose and my clothes fit a lot better. Plus I do yoga sometimes. Like once a week. I’m not counting the yoga as a workout…btw. So if I stop counting calories and just keep eating healthy and working out will I lose weight?

Help with Lululemon sizing!!!?

I want to order a yoga outfit from Lululemon, but I’m not sure what sizes to order. I’ve looked at their website sizing chart, and I think I may be a size 6 in tops, but I’m not sure weather to get 6 or 8 for the bottoms. I don’t live near a store to go and try them on. I was hoping to find someone who could compare Lululemon to other brands. I’m kind of worried about sizing because I’ve heard that they run very small. I weight 140 lbs and am 5’7″ and am a 34B. I typically wear a size small in workout brands like Nike and Under Armour. In jeans like Silver and Big Star, I wear a 27 or 28. If someone could please give me their opinions and comparisons I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Where can I shop for cute gym clothes?

This is the first time that I’ve been in a PE class at my high school, which doesn’t have a dress code. I’m a senior this year and am not tempted to wear my old uniform from 7th grade, so I need a couple of outfits for the gym. Where’s a good place to shop for cute athletic wear that isn’t too expensive? Also, what do I need?
Please don’t post just to be rude. I don’t have any gym clothes, and I would prefer them to be cute and not ugly.
It’s not that they need to be cute, it’s just that we don’t have lockers or anything at my school and there’s no room in my bag with books and everything in there, so I will probably be wearing the clothes all day unless I want to carry them.

dry sex. could i be pregnant?

I’m not on birth control. I preceded to have dry sex as an alternative, but is it safe? I was lying on top, straddling the guy, and rubbing up against him. we were both clothed. I was wearing yoga pants and underwear. I’m concerned my pants were kinda thin tho. He had on workout pants and boxers. I don’t believe sperm could swim through all these layers, am i correct in this assumption? There was no penetration. He did proceed to go down my pants with his hand, but only succeeded in touching my outer thigh. I feel like my stomach is getting bigger, i think i may be convincing myself im pregnant? I’m really worried/confused. I am in no way ready for a baby, is there any chance i could be pregant?

How……Boobs……What….??

Okay naturally I have big breasts they were always big ever since I developed in the fourth grade.I used to be skinny but now I am sorta fat for my height.I am:5’1,150lbs,and age 21.I have already lost ten pounds.My breast size is still a “D.”Whenever I loose weight I usually don’t loose my boobs.I guess I am lucky.I have been doing this new workout its like a Yoga ab workout and afterwards I am starting to feel some workage on the side of my breasts that feel like muscle is developing.I seen this exercise for your breasts on a commercial that make them bigger.I feel like its true,but for only small breasts that need it I don’t I need my fat on my breasts not ware it away.That is what I am scared of my fat wearing away on my breasts.I cant help but to notice these movements on the side of my breasts where the muscles are forming.It is really annoying me I don’t want to feel it anymore but I cant help to move them.Do you know what I can do to stop?I don’t know maybe it wont decrease the size,and actually porportion them better.Well do any of you know any good workouts on your abs that don’t envolve your arms.

can anyone explain my weight gain?

I have lost 75 lbs in 3 years with diet and exercise. I have had no problems maintaining that loss, until the last couple months. I have gained 8 lbs since November. My weight is actually fluctuating 8-12 lbs during the week, which is odd. I usually just stay within a 4 lbs range. It really got worse when I started running again. I had been doing 45 min elliptical or arc machine workouts with yoga. Now I am running 30 min 3x per week, lifting weights, walking the stairs at work, even walking laps for 30 min on my breaks, and doing yoga. In reality, I am working out more now. In addition I am always STARVING. Of course I am on a decent eating plan as well. I wear a size 14, my clothes all fit fine, and I have lost 1/2 an inch of my thighs, waist and belly (each). The extra 8 lbs makes me feel heavy, fat and bloated.
Running has always been the easiest way for me to tone up, but my body seems to be rebelling.
Why can’t I ditch this weight?
I am 36, and not pregnant
