On August 26, my dentist reshaped the area between two lower molars and placed a little filling material to create more space because the teeth were very tight together and flossing was hard.

Ever since the procedure, I’ve had an uncomfortable sensation in the tooth that was treated when I bite down on certain foods. It’s especially noticeable with bread and somewhat harder foods. It feels like a combination of a tender feeling and a strange discomfort, rather than sharp or severe pain.

The tooth feels completely normal when I’m not eating. I don’t notice any discomfort at rest.

I went back to my dentist about two weeks ago. They checked the filling, took another X-ray, and said the filling looked perfect. They also checked my bite and reshaped the filling a little more to see if that would help, but it made absolutely no difference.

It’s now been about six weeks since the original procedure, and the symptoms haven’t improved.

I never had a cavity in this tooth; the procedure was done to create space between the teeth. I’m wondering what could be causing this and whether anyone has experienced something similar after reshaping and filling a tooth.

does it need more time?

My son is 23 months old and I’m not sure if his two year old molars are coming. He’s been so whiny, refuses to eat and wakes up every night exactly at 12.

His canines and first molars were hell, it took a full month of screaming at night.

Did some parents experience less sleep disturbances with the last set of molars or were they as bad as the canines?

Also, we tend to blame teething for nightwakings a lot even if they take months. I always wonder if it is always teething or maybe something else.

Hi everyone,

I am currently a week into potty training my 21 month old. We made zero progress. The first three days we stayed home and ditched the diapers the entire day besides for naps and sleep. I am 34 weeks pregnant and could not do another day of being home full day. So we started going out but changing into underwear as soon as we got home. To this day he still pees in his underwear.. I am so tired of constantly cleaning the floors.

- I’ve tried going fully naked on the bottom weeks ago but he didn’t care at all, he actually thought it was funny peeing while being naked

- I’ve tried putting him on the potty every 15 minutes but he just holds it up until I leave his side and then pees on the floor.

Does anyone know how to help him or should I give up and wait longer

hope this is allowed. I have a small nodule on the left side under my jaw, I had an ultrasound today and these are the findings:

TECHNIQUE: Targeted sonographic evaluation of the right neck

FINDINGS:

Subcentimeter bilateral level I lymph nodes, measuring up to 4 mm in short axis, with echogenic fatty hila, likely reactive.

IMPRESSION:

1. Small benign-appearing anterior neck lymph nodes

Question: why does it say ‘right neck’ at techniqu when the nodule was on the left. The findings says bilateral

Hi everyone,

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and I got the call that my OBGYN suddenly is not working or affiliated with the hospital. Not sure what happened, she gave birth to my first baby so I was really comfortable with her.

I really wanna stay with Adventist health in Glendale because I had a very good experience with the nurses the first time and they were the ones that have been on my bedside the entire time but they gave me three options for OBGYNS. Does anyone know doctor Selena Lantry, Samantha Han or Armine Ghazarian?

I don’t know if it’s worth looking for another doctor outside of the hospital and change medical groups.

So frustrating that a lot of PCP’s do not know that cholesterol tends to run high during pregnancy and nursing. Saw my PCP today (first visit with this doctor and currently 31 weeks pregnant). He told me he saw my previous bloodwork (from 2024 when I was also 29 weeks pregnant) and was worried about how high my cholesterol was. I told him that I was pregnant back then and it’s supposed to be higher then usual. I retested again right after I stopped nursing, maybe a week later and it already went down from 280 to 230 (total cholesterol). He looked at me very confused. That gives me anxiety.

Anyone else experienced this and their cholesterol was normal after nursing?

currently 29 weeks pregnant and was browsing on Reddit and saw some pregnant women talk about HELLP syndrome without typical symptoms and it freaked me out.

I have a normal blood pressure, no headaches or swelling or any other pains. I do have some tiny floaters but because of my anxiety I cant remember if I always had them or just notice them because of what I’ve read! Can anyone calm my anxiety down.. 😭

ever since I moved to LA, I have been trying to find a medical group with good PCP’s and specialist that also affiliate with good hospitals. For anyone living near Burbank/Glendale area:

- is Adventist health ‘better’ than Providence? I haven given birth at Adventist and loved the nurses but was wondering how other facilities are within adventist, for example for surgeries etc. Is Providence outdated?

- Facey Medical group, Optum or Adventist health physicians network?

my son is 20 months old and I am almost 28 weeks pregnant with my second one and I started potty training today but it was a disaster. He peed everywhere besides on the potty, I have been cleaning the floors the whole day while being so big😁

anyone has some success stories or great advice

Hi everyone,

I don’t really have anyone to compare my toddlers water intake with, so wanted to ask here!

he has a straw bottle, Owala, 12 oz. he usually finishes one bottle a day, sometimes goes for a second. He likes sipping on it throughout the day. He has never really been into milk after we stopped nursing so he will only drink max 4 oz of milk at night.

He does eat fruits like blueberries, bananas etc during the day.

Hasn’t yet soaked through diapers beside the occasional night diaper (maybe like 2/3 time).

Because he likes to sip on his water and asks for ‘water‘ a lot now, I was a little worried it might be something else but when I measure his waterintake, it isn’t shockingly bad. He does sometimes chug down water like we do as adults when were are very thirsty but we also live in LA where we have had some hot days. I am mostly worried about stuff like diabetes

anyone words of advice?

so I am a little bit of a hypochondriac and pregnant now. I started to touch my neck/jaw area end of March and when I push hard on the left side I feel a little pea size nodule, but I have to really look for it. Is this what people usually mean with ‘swollen lymphnode under jaw’ or am I feeling something else. I don’t feel it on my right side
