LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Your dental health is important to us! We've been asking you all morning to send in your questions for our expert Dr. Roy Jolley and he answers.

Tina asks, "My daughter is 10-years-old and she doesn't have a front tooth. She had a baby tooth and once she lost it there isn't another. What would cause this?"

Shanelle asks, "I am now on my fourth round of a different antibiotic trying to rid of abscess. My mouth is so swollen that my teeth rub, my head hurts, and my face hurts to touch it. What should I do? And how dangerous can this be?"

Airreall asks, "I'm 22 and still have all four of my wisdom teeth. None of them are fully grown yet, just the top half of each. They only cause me pain every 2-3 months and for only a couple days when they do. Should I go ahead and have them removed, or just leave them alone?"

Brenda asks, "Why is it when I got dentures a year ago my tongue stays raw?"

Amy asks, "Is it true that having bad teeth can lead to high blood pressure?"
