TREATMENT: Jala received a general dental health checkup. She had an infection in her right molar that had spread to her tonsils. She had difficulty breathing when she played. We spoke with her parents and prescribed her the appropriate antibiotics. 

UPDATE, 5/24/2015: We spoke with Jala's parents and reexamined her. The infection has gone away, and she is feeling better. We gave her a motorized toothbrush to help her brush her teeth. We also showed her parents how to check Jala's teeth for incoming cavities or any signs of infection. We gave them a pamphlet on dental health and encouraged them to call us if she experiences any more pain or discomfort. Her parents understood and thanked us.
