Bring Out Some Life-saving “T-Rex” Qualities In Your Smile!

-The information-rich HSR is guaranteed to BLAST OUT BIG LIKE A NEW YORK NEON SIGN, your “more popular than that ol’ Super Bowl“ smile!-

When you get down to the brass tacks and to the essence of it, Mankind still lives in a jungle!

Don’t let all that concrete, tall buildings, technology, and prim and proper table manners fool you!

It’s still a dog-eat-dog, only-the-strongest-survive world in which we live, and all of our lives hang in the balance but by only a thin precarious thread of vital life, which can be broken by our own doing, but more importantly, by the doings of others!

Protecting ourselves by fending off any and all physical harm and threats thereto is just as applicable now, as it was since the dawn of our ancestors.

We can use our intellect, cunning, and skills of guile and deception, to militaristically and/or martial-artistically defeat and render useless people who would try to harm us.

If, in the heat of battle, when an opponent gets past the protective perimeters of our flying fists, feet, elbows, and knees, we may just have left the proverbial head butt, and our many dependably incising teeth.

Yes, our multitasking, denticular pearly whites just may save our days…and our lives!

We can gnash, gnaw, mash, crush, cut, tear, slice, and dice our enemy’ skin, muscle, and bones, if it gets down to that. Even if it’s a mountain lion! Yes, bite back to live another day! Whoa, can you envision such a back-and-forth biting contest? And spit out what ever comes aloose in the mouth…Yuck!

But a person’s gotta do what a person’s gotta do!

Mother Nature stages many ultimate eat-or-be-eaten contests everyday in the jungle, forest, and undersea realms of the world’s vast Animal Kingdom--on cellular and multi-cellular levels. And, upon close examination, Man is no different!

Man has fights and wars, and this has always been the case, and, no doubt, according to our DNA, will always be the case. So, let us, who wish to survive, take some lessons from the majestic, not-to-be-fooled-with T-Rex, the shark, and other notable canine-rich animals endowed with efficient, no-second-chance-giving, dangerous dentitions.

But let us also look “fashionably and esthetically cool in the mirror,” at all times, while doing so!

So let’s go over our must-haves check list:

-Enamel mineralized, unbreakable in task, and hardened to the max, check

-Gums tight and healthy around the teeth, giving great color contrast to the white teeth, check 

-Bone solid and true, reliably anchoring the teeth against any great pressure, against any foreign body part, making all missions come out a winner, check

-Muscles powerful enough to register up to an average of 120 pounds per square inch of biting force capacity, check

-Saliva lubricating any penetrating entry into any material that gets in the way, check 

Okay, now that we have our armamentarium reaffirmed…

…you never know when you might have to aggressively snarl and brandish your battle-ready jaws, to give sufficient warning to anyone even thinking about stepping toward you the wrong way, to prevent or diffuse a situation. Grrrr!

They’ll get masticated in a minute!

So keep your oral weapon “fight-and-bite” ready, remembering that…

 

…all is fair in war, and, especially…in love!

Hey, may you have many…the longer the teeth, the deeper and more satisfying what is bitten!...when I think about it, my mouth is my own personal blender!...uh-oh, I am not going to go MMA-style on this drunk guy with a plastic knife!…smiles!

Girl Fight! Her New Smile Launched a Million Internet Looks! Part 1.

-Your “it’s a beautiful brand new day” smile IS QUICKLY AND QUIETLY SUCKING UP ALL OF THE OXYGEN, which slippery slides straight into HSR’s voluminous reserves!-

It all started in high school, just after she got her orthodontic braces off.

Her face was pretty and smooth just like a model.

And she was a starter on the school’s water polo team. Practicing endless hours with the team resulted in her growing a strong and statuesque physique.

Rona. That was her name.

She knew what she wanted her smile to look like, after the braces were removed, and she didn’t want her smile’s end product to look like that of all the other girls.

Rona wanted, and got, hers with a slight spacing in between the upper two front teeth.

She knew something that the other girls at the school didn’t.

This girl knew from her copious psychology readings, that the eyes of an observer are drawn and attracted to something on a person’s face that is different than usual. That difference could even be an imperfection, or anything out of the ordinary.

And in some cultures around the world, a pause between the two teeth may mean a person has heightened virility, fertility, and beauty power.

But, her teeth were naturally as white as the driven snow, and straight enough to make an orthodontist feel dreamy, so there was no check in any negative box there.

It was that empty distance in front that made the difference, almost like a “dainty diastema!”

The intended consequence of all of this, was that, when she spoke to her male and female classmates, they would keep glancing and staring at the separation between her shiny symmetrical teeth, to the extent that they sometimes would not pay attention to what she was saying.

Word got around the school that there was something hot, new, and intriguing about Rona, and the boyfriends of the other girls wanted to see it for themselves in between classes.

They would excitedly pass by her locker, where she kept her other books and a vanity mirror inside, and wait there for her to talk to her friends.

Rona spoke with her schoolmates, and even then, she knew how to use her smile weapon sparingly to the boys, to maximum mesmerizing effect.  When the guys were around, every ten seconds or so, she would laugh wide and give a big, carefree, head-tilting, smile.  

The guys would see her shine it out and give each other a “did-you-see-that” elbow.

And confide in each other what they would like to do with her…immediately!

They would take an extra-deep breath, as their testosterone levels would spike!

But many of the other girls weren’t so thrilled, especially Meg, who was the captain of the cheerleading squad.

Her boyfriend, Curtis, was the very popular captain of the football team, and student body president. He and his buddies now started to change their swaggering route between classes to pass by Rona’s locker, too.

And Meg didn’t like his new routine one bit! She was steaming because she desperately wanted Curtis to only have longing eyes for her!

She caught Curtis dreaming at Rona like she was a win-the-game, first-and-goal play with ten seconds left!

Meg had to come up with her own plan, and quick! She was not going to lose her man to this, this…girl!

Nothing unlawful, mind you. She just didn’t want her golden relationship threatened at all!

And some of the other girls in her clique would only be too happy to stop Rona from getting all of this new desirous attention from their boyfriends, too.

Even the nerdy geeks are drooling, when she walks closely by, making them wet their calculators, causing them to shoot sparks and short-circuit lightining!

"Tomorrow," Meg swears,…"it’s going down!"

TO BE CONTINUED…

May you have many… you can lead a horse to water, and sometimes it’ll drink all of the water!...one  can teach an old dog new tricks, but, in the end, a dog is still a dog (woof, woof!)…there’s so much more to humanity, and the cosmos—check it out!…smiles!

The Future Of Dentistry…OMG!, Part 1.

-Your “we do not have to go back to proceed to the future” smile, according to HSR’s calculations, should BE BLISSFULLY AND EVER-INCREASINGLY REVOLVING just past the next event horizon!

When I put on my future glasses and focus on what might be possible in Dentistry, I almost feel shivers down my spine!

Thirty, sixty, and 100 years from now, the art and science of Stomatologic Dentistry, I guarantee, will be a sight to behold!

Now, don’t get me wrong! There are many tried and true materials and techniques that dental practitioners can fall back on, especially in times of natural disasters, when possibly all of our high-tech, fancy-schmancy gadgets might become completely inoperable. Basic materials and techniques should always be included in all dentist’s “black bag” armamentarium, and proudly so…because…they work!

But, future materials that will be used to restore teeth, which, by the way, are getting incrementally better almost every year already, will get phenomenally more biomimetic, biocompatible, and bioengineered.

New scientific processes, exotic combinations of elements and minerals, and manufacturing advancement opportunities using great economies of scale, will result in better prevention of dental problems, better filling materials that will be virtually indistinguishable, both visually and physically, from normal tooth structure, all at a cost that’s affordable to patients and insurance companies.

Veneers and crowns will be meticulously measured, morphologically machined, slickly finished, and then cemented with advanced, super-sticky, nano-particulate cements, which will assure that they will never break or come off.

Chemical compounds, some of which are being created now, and others that have yet to be formulated, will be engineered to strengthen our natural tooth enamel so much that, after application, even the strongest acids, produced by the most sinister biological bacteria hidden away in our mouths, will not degrade our hard-tooth tissue surfaces one iota! Our indestructible enamel will really last a lifetime then!

Let’s talk more on this…

May you have many…some of those centuries-old scientific techniques hold long-lost secrets that may aid in future breakthroughs!...keep it simple, elegant, and useful…use old-warrior strength to turn open the difficult-to-move tall castle gates, allowing your creative mind-juice to tsunamically flow out and flourish the vast thought landscape… smiles!
