Night guys!
I'll be back tomorrow (if the dentist doesn't kill me o_O :eek:)
Dentists are our friends!!!:p

Recent research has shown that gum inflammation and tooth infections are often involved in heart disease. They analyzed blood clots that caused heart attacks in cardiac patients and found oral bacteria in the clots. The inflammation in the mouth (or anywhere in your body) makes it easier for your blood to clot. So good dental hygiene is MORE than just for looks or sweet breath! And dentists help fix those inflammations!

I also know of 2 people who had infected teeth abscesses in their upper jaws. The abscesses eroded through the jaw bone and caused brain abscesses. Both had to have surgery to drain the abscesses. One was left with memory problems, the other was left slightly paralyzed on the left side, with a seizure disorder and had great difficulty speaking. He required permanent institutionalization.
So the moral of the story is: brush your teeth and see the dentist!!!
And for Gawd's sake, get an UPPER tooth problem promptly addressed!!!

This has been a Public Service Announcement from your local Dental Awareness Society!! :p

Scary stuff, Bea, I've got a couple of teeth broken off each side top and bottom, down to the gum line.
Never had them fixed, never had a problem or abscess but I'm so scared of the dentists.
Especially here, not been to a dentist in 15 years, including time elsewhere.

I'd rather go to a dentist than a hairdresser

How long is a day ?
Depends: Mondays are pretty long, compared to the other days. And any day that you're waiting for something you really REALLY want lasts 3x as long as any other day!
But the days you're waiting for something you dread (like going to the dentist) are actually much shorter.

I believe this is what Dr. Einstein was referring to when he talked about Time being "relative": slower just before Christmas, and faster before dental appointments.
It's all very mathematical- you must have memorized your times-tables to understand it. :p :p :p
