How to like fruit and herbal teas
From time to time over the years I've tried different herbal and fruit teas. They smell incredible, then I take a sip and taste nothing except hot water. I've tried again this morning with a Twinings lemon and ginger one and again nothing. I even put two 2 bags in and left longer but still didn't taste anything. I do have…

BUPA disappointment
Wanted to join the company scheme and was given a form to fill in by my HR team. To submit the form they gave me a BUPA email address.

Nail Polish Gurus?!
Hey everyone, My wife loves painting her nails, I think it's some kind of relaxation thing for her as much as anything else. She uses and swears by Essie, having jumped ship from OPI. All she does is prep her nails somehow, and put it on, but I can see there is a whole host of stuff she could get, but, I don't know of any…

Moisturiser for the 40s
I'm in my early 40s, and up until a couple of years ago could pass as being under 30! I'm very active so also have quite a sporty physique. The parent that goes trampolining or rock climbing with her kids rather than sitting at the side drinking coffee and eating cake type of person! But I hit 42 and something happened. My…

Extracted tooth - effect on other teeth
I had a lower right side molar extracted 13 days ago. My dentist was unable to get the roots out due to being flaky. I'm going to have oral surgery to have the roots removed in the next 3 to 6 weeks by a specialist. After extraction I had bad pain for 3 days and then less but steady pain which comes and goes since. The…

How long should it take for the infection to go away after having a root canal? It's been two weeks and the swelling on my gum is still there, and the pain has started to come back.

Over 4 months between root canal stage 1 and 2, safe?
Does that amount of time mean the rct could be less successful? I had stage 1 done as an emergency in Dec. Stage 2 was booked for last week but I had to cancel following a tough surgery with my wisdom tooth. I ended up with an abcess and an infection. I am still taking antibiotics for that, but.... my rct tooth is…

Tooth extraction abscess

About to have 3rd inlay in 7 months - options if it fails?
My first molar (lower)has lost about 1/3 due to a crack and failed filling. I had an inlay put on last July, it fell out in December. I had a replacement put in in January (as under warranty thankfully), this fell out a fortnight ago as another part of my tooth fell out so the inlay then came out. I've had a further…

Speaking to doctors and health professsionals
I'm worried that i don't speak to doctors and other health professionals well enough to get what I need. For example, yesterday i was trying to ask one of my customers for a recommendation for an orthopaedic doctor locally. My hip was adjusted and messed up by a quack abroad who probably did a two week course or so I was…

NHS dentist price for root canal treatment

Sweetener-free sensitive toothpaste
My dentist suggested I try using sensitive toothpaste - but it tastes foul to me. Does anyone know a brand without artificial sweeteners (but with fluoride!). I have found normal toothpaste that is OK, but not sensitive stuff.
