Our thought for the week: A small
girl came home from school one day.
Her mother asked how she did. “I
was the smartest one in the whole
class today,” she informed her
mother.
“Really? What happened?”
“We wrote on the blackboard,”
said the girl proudly,“and I was the
only kid in the class who could read
my writing.”

This column deals with questions
concerning dentistry and Dental
Care. Readers are invited to send
written questions to Dental Care,
P.O. Box 358, Dublin, Texas 76446.
Doctor Crabtree: I have a tendency
to grind my teeth. My doctor says I’m
doing damage to my teeth and gums
and that I should quit. However, it’s
really difficult. My wife says I still
grind my teeth when I’m asleep and I
even catch myself doing it during the
day without thinking. Does it really
do that much harm and, if so, how can
I stop?
Dear Reader: A transient tendency
to press or clamp the jaw and teeth
together briefly in association with
anger, aggression or other emotional
stress is very common and probable
can be considered normal. However,
persistent and habitual nonfunctional
clenching, known as bruxism, is ab-
normal and can produce significant
damaging side-effects.
Bruxing can be very damaging to
the crown of the teeth. The grinding
slowly wears the teeth down. This can
produce sharp, irritating enamel
margins and fractured teeth or
restorations. The length of the teeth is
reduced, causing an over-closing of
the bite. If allowed to continue, brux-
ing can eventually wear the teeth ex-
tensively enough to cause damage to
the nerve.
In addition, constant grinding can
have detrimental effects on the
periodontal (gum) tissues if gum
disease is present. Bruxing can pro-
duce loosening of the teeth and irrita-
tion to the periodontal tissues.
One of the more painful side-effects
of bruxing occurs in the muscles.
Constant tensing can create muscle
disturbances and spasms which can
lead to chronic headache and neck
and even shoulder pain.
Because bruxing is so many times
an unconscious action, it can be dif-
ficult to control. Learning and prac-
ticing conscious relaxation techni-
ques has helped many patients to con-
trol bruxing.
A bit plane which prohibits bruxing
is an excellent prevention. This bite
plane can be worn at all times or can
be used only at night depending upon
the severity of the problem.
But not if you follow these tips for working around power lines.
• Keep ladders and trimming tools away from overhead wires.
• Don’t dig if you suspect there are underground wires-call us first!
• Make sure you’re clear of all wires when installing or removing
a TV antenna.
Please remember, think about where your power lines are before
you work around the house. They may be above or below ground.
Find out the exact location, or you might become just another
statistic. And that’s the shocking truth.

A Commitment lo Service
Heard from the folks again, and all
is well in South L.A. Some of them are
homesick and want to come back.
That sounds wonderful to me, but
since a person’s got to do what a per-
son’s got to do,to make a living, that’s
not likely at the moment. If you know
what I mean.......It’s so wonderful to
hear from them and see how
everything is going in their busy
world’s. Sometimes it’s hard not to
get caught up in the rush of
eveything, and take a minute to write
or call and say hello,I just thought I
would call and see how you all were
doing.
Sometimes we have to take time
out especially when it comes to our
loved one’s,right? I must be a come-
dian considering the way I kept the
folks laughing. It tickles me pink to
hear their laughter. Laughter is
sweet to the ear, and wonderful for
the heart!!!! It takes the heavy
loads, worried feelings and problems
all away. And makes life nice.
pen to pass by the Progress Office see
the door standing wide open or see me
sitting outside with my work, don’t
worry I haven’t lost my mind or
anything. Just remember that here at
the Progress Office we all have SPR-
ING FEVER and that it’s NOT our
fault. We are victims of this disease
just as you are.....

Soon I shall be planting flowers and
mowing the yard,at my house. I love
the summer because everything
comes to life. Trees and grass turn to
a pretty shade of green,flowers bloom
into dashing colors. Children are hap-
py to be outside playing,and everyone
eles is finding different ways to soak
up the warmth of the sunshine.
Speaking of nice don’t you just love
this weather? For all you out of town
and out of state people, it’s been the
dreamist weather here. The kind of
weather you don’t see often enough.
It’s so gorgoues, I just hate having to
be inside all day long. So if you hap-
I think summer really lifts people
up. I mean really, how could it not??
In the summer time we really see
how beautiful nature is, and how
much we take God’s creations for
granted. It’s really hard not to take
things for granted because we get so
use to them. And it’s hard to believe
that one day we may not have some of
these precious things we take for
granted throughout our lives. But
let’s enjoy everything to it’s fullest
and live life one day at a time and
most of all be happy.
