Question 1
Since I was a little child, I have had yellow teeth, although I brush them regularly each day. I have tried many
different kinds of toothpaste, but they didn’t work at all. I’m 18 years old, and I can’t even smile. Please help me!

Answer 1
Firstly, teeth are not pure white; they are naturally yellowish, and they can turn yellow for several reasons,
like eating habits, using antibiotics, or genetic factors. Next, certain foods or drinks, such as coffee, tea, citrus
juices, berries, and curry, can change the colour of your teeth. Have you ever tried professional cleaning and
polishing? Visit your dentist and talk about your problem. S/He will prescribe you the best treatment for you.
And lastly, do not let anything stop you from smiling!
Question 2
I have always had trouble falling asleep, but the situation has become worse in the past three months. Even when
I’m exhausted, it is difficult for me to fall asleep some nights. I wake up several times throughout the night and find
Sleepless myself looking at the clock. I feel anxious because it really affects my performance at work. How can I solve my
sleep problem? 28.03.2022, 17.15
Answer 2
Many factors like stress, depression, or physical pain can cause insomnia, but the common cause is lifestyle
factors, and it gets better by changing some of your habits. Start by identifying the things that keep you awake
at night. Maybe you shouldn’t have had that afternoon coffee or the evening tea. Avoid caffeine for four hours
before going to bed. The blue light from electronics such as laptops, tablets, TVs, and mobile phones also
negatively affects sleep quality at night. It tricks your brain into thinking it is daytime. Avoid using them two
hours before bedtime. If the problem continues, you had better see a doctor to find out the main reason.
Question 3
I’m a fifteen-year-old girl. I have had problems with acne and pimples on my cheeks and chin for about a year. I have
tried a few remedies that I found on the Net, but they didn’t seem to help much. What should I do to get rid of them?

Answer 3
First of all, if you are using the Internet as a source of health information, please stop it because it is full of
misinformation. The experts also cannot give you direct medical care in this forum. However, washing your
skin is the most important step in preventing acne. You can use over-the-counter cleansers with salicylic
acid. It can help reduce acne and dry pimples, but make sure to apply a moisturizer afterwards. Have you
ever visited a dermatologist to talk about your problem? I would suggest you see a dermatologist for the best
treatment for you.
