“How High Is Your Dental IQ” Test, Part 3.

The HSR is LEAVING NO STONE UNTURNED, CHECKING OUT ALL OF THE CUPBOARDS, SNOOPING IN ALL OF THE BUSINESSES, AND GENERALLY SNIFFING AROUND THE WHOLE PLACE, TO TURN UP ANY FRAUD, PLAGIARISM, KNOCK-OFFS, AND MISREPRESENTATIONS, when it comes to how your “if you let me, I’m gonna rock your world like there’s no tomorrow” smile, is distributed across the Internet and through out the galaxy and Universe ad infinitum!

1. T or F

Periodontics is the branch of Dentistry that deals with the gums, bone and                                                           other structures around the teeth.

  

2.  Adult teeth that have “gum problems” or periodontitis can show the following characteristic:

a)    persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth.

b)   red, tender, and swollen gums that may easily move away from the teeth.

c)    gums that bleed easily when toothbrushing or flossing is done. Sometimes blood from the mouth may show up on the pillow after sleep.

d)   loose teeth that seem to grow apart over time.

e)    teeth that hurt after drinking hot or cold beverages.

f)     All of the above.

3.   A root canal treatment involves:

a)    the internal whitening  of a dark tooth.

b)   the removal of diseased nerve and pulp tissue in the middle of the tooth.

c)    scraping and removing hardened accumulations off of the teeth.

d)   the use of hydrogen peroxide on the enamel rods.

4.  T or F

          Dental plaque, material alba, and oral biofilm are essentially the same thing and include unsallowed food, saliva and salivary products, debris from old mouth cells, and germs (oral biome) in their make-up. 

5.  The amount of time needed for an implant to bond to the bone holding it is:

a)    none, because it can chemically bond immediately.

b)   two weeks.

c)    one month, because the platelets and T-cells take that long to organize.

d)   about four months, for the osteoblastic activity to complete osseointegration.

e)    One year or more, otherwise the implant will be rejected by the body.

6.  In some cases, an implant is better that a bridge to replace a missing tooth                  

      because:

a)    the teeth on either side of the space can be left alone.

b)   home care for an implant is easier than home care for a bridge.

c)    under the right conditions, an implant may actually last longer than a bridge.

d)   it’s easier to remove the crown of an implant than to remove a bridge.

e)    implants can not grow a cavity.

f)     all of the above.

Answers:   1. T, 2. f, 3. b, 4. T, 5. d, 6. f   

May you have many…my mom said I can still come home if I fail the test…on Earth, day turns into night and then back again, but the Sun takes no breaks…do you have more energy after work compared to when you start?...smiles!

Poetry About The Beautiful Smiles Of Lovers! V

IT’S THE EXCITING FIRST DAY OF A LONG-ANTICIPATED AND WELL-DESERVED VACATION IN THESE NEW-TO-ME, EXOTIC, PRISTINE, AND INVITING LANDS, so much so, that your “show me the pool, the sauna, and the windy shade” smile, forgot to first text the HSR—the deep-pocketed sponsor of your all-expense-paid trip in the first place—that you have officially arrived, checked in, dived and swam in the pool, and are now happily applying sunblock!

It’s about to be sunset

In a couple of hours…

And on the approaching horizon

Is a pretty but gray

Rain-releasing

Wide curtain of clouds…

I look straight up

Toward the precious Heavens

To see and feel for myself

The natural falling waters coming

That were evaporatedly sucked

From our planet’s

Living blue oceans

And to feel each solitary drop

Write

Its own wet personal signature

On my face and lips…

I smile…of course…

Because now I feel the first nanodrops

Which almost dance sideways

In the sweet soft wind…

My skin is naturally tickled

By the harmonic sequence

Of the wetness strewn down from above

Almost seemingly produced by a whimsical flip

Of his Almighty Wrist…

The drops are getting more potent now

And I smile more

Then I pucker my lips

Then smile again…

My lips are windshield-wiping

My teeth’s enamel

Using the purest of solvents…

Unbottleable rains…

I close my eyes

And open my mouth

And stick out my tongue

To scientifically taste this

Gravitating elixir…

The agua from above

So soothing

And so refreshing

But tasteless

Yet, I can smell its presence

It’s not a hard rain now…

It’s just one to get the dust off

The green palms and brown coconuts

And give the birds and the pink sands

An invigorating soak

Just like my clothes receive…

Now, just as the rains came

And made a statement about

Who is really in charge,

The rains now move on past us

To work its precipitating magic

On someone else, somewhere else…

TO BE CONTINUED…

May you have many…if you think the weather on Earth is something, you should see what it’s like around the five spinning and careening black holes, smashing suns and planets together, then swallowing everything into nothing, and clashing like Titans in the middle of our Milky Way Galaxy!…is long sleep a waste of time, when you’re visiting and touring romantic and beautiful, far-away places?...I like to see the gorgeous flower petals come into full bloom using a time-lapse camera that speeds up the process…smiles!

The World’s Biggest and Happiest Smile…Is It The Duchenne Smile?…No!…It’s The Winge Smile!

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THE HSR IS TIGHTLY SEAT-BELTED IN ITS RED, GOLD, AND SILVER LAMBOURGHINI, QUICKLY, NIMBLY, AND ADMIRABLY NEGOTIATING ALL OF THE NAIL-BITING TWISTS AND HAIRPIN TURNS THAT CAN BE EXPECTED WHILE DRIVING THE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS, ZIG-ZAGGY, EDGE-OF-THE-CLIFF MOUNTAIN ROADS OF THE THICK, FOG-LADEN SWISS ALPS, in a valiant, James Bond-like attempt to catch you at the heliport, so that your “I did pack light, but I still need to take my six large Louis Vitton suitcases, because one never knows!“ smile can adequately prepare for, and experience, a super-safe trip on your week-long, hot-air-balloon flight.

The Winge Smile Concept , also known as the InfiniSmile, which can easily be done by everyone, has been introduced and entailed by Pacific Coast Inventor/ Dentist, Dr. Ralph Winge, and is propounded to be the face’s biggest and the happiest smile known to Man! 

Winge anatomically intimates that, “The Smile Continuum starts at one end, where a smile is barely detectable, with minimal Major Zygomaticus muscle activity, as seen with the Mona Lisa, and continues onto the Duchenne smile, which uses more of the zygomaticus and levator muscles, raising the cheeks up, and with the orbital parts of the orbicularis oculi, produces “Crow’s Feet” below and on the sides of the eyes, and is scientifically associated with genuine happiness.”

“Then we proceed to the end of the spectrum with the InfiniSmile, which adds the actions of even more muscles, including the procerus, nasalis, and corrigator supercilii—along with the other signature move of the InfiniSmile—the closed eyes,” publishes Winge.

“But,” cautions Winge, “this same short-lived, full-facial-contortion end product, as with other less intense smiles, can be generated by both negative and positive psychological circumstances. So the Winge Smile can be labeled as a nonspecific reflexive reaction.”

“Our current President, Barack Obama, is the only U.S. President to have been photodocumented engaging the InfiniSmile. I am currently researching the Internet and other sources to see if any other U.S. presidents have been shown with this specific facial expression,” testifies Winge, and implores all global citizens to, “let your unbridled personal sunshine and happiness show to the world by InfiniSmiling at least once a day, because it’s been proven that real joy and sincere smiling are both hormonally great for our bodies!”

Of hot debate are the necessary psychological and emotional happiness and passion energy quantities needed to spontaneously and differentially deliver a Mona Lisa, Duchenne, or Winge response.

But, when anatomically compared, side by side, though, a wider swath of muscles contracting is definitely involved to produce an extreme Winge Smile reaction. 

Make a healthier and happier you by InfiniSmiling with your friends and family at least once a day!

May you have many…do you remember the last time you got real groovy on the dance floor? I do!...sometimes the only place where I can get peace and quiet is in the library…be thankful for the phenomenon of photosynthesis!…smiles!

Hello, I’m Karen! My Smile Drives Men Crazy! Why, I’ve Had Them Do…Pt. 3

DON’T MAKE THE HSR HAVE TO COME OVER, WAKE YOU UP, HELP YOU OUT OF BED, BRUSH YOUR TEETH, FIX BREAKFAST, AND GET YOU READY FOR THE DAY, UNLESS YOU’D LIKE THAT, but doggone it, your “I just can’t wait to take control of my next crazy dream” smile really wanted to sleep in late because it’s Saturday!

Quick background: Karen, the mega businesswoman with the hypnotic smile, meets Tikka, another international business heavyweight who is a certified looker herself, and they are about to hatch another business plan…for a nice profit, that is!

Hey, Tikka!

I just thought of this new business that’s a guaranteed winner!

It goes like this…

…Only rich guys can afford to participate!

Okay, Tikka! Hang on! I’m about to tell you!

I’m hurrying up!

A waiter brings the ladies two glasses of blended unsweetened orange juice and ice, with two cherries on top, compliments of a gentleman seated at the bar. When they turn to look at him, he raises his glass to them as a toast.

What?…you think he’s cute?...Okay, if you say so!

Oh, now you want to hear about the plan?

So, it goes like this…you know how men like to play their manly games to win, right?

And they always want to show women that they are superior in brains and in brawn, mkay?

No, I’ don’t want you to go over there and just beat him up, T! It’s better than that!

I know some gals that are martial arts Olympians, and they are all black belts, and can squash guys like a bug!

I thought you’d like that!

Dang, Tikka! That’s basically it! We’re thinking the same!

That’s right! We set up a club on the swanky West Side, and the Richie Boys can come in, get on the mat with their Judo gis on, and try to see if they can show the girls a thing or two… But they’ll be in for the surprise of their lives! All for a price!

So, Teek, what do you think would be a good price point for a good 30 minute whipping using arm bars and chokes on the mat, after warm up?

OMG! I was thinking the same thing! For that amount we could open franchises!

So there would be no punching and kicking like in MMA, no leaving marks or blood, but lightning-speed Judo moves like foot sweeps, throws, chokes, and arm bars are all okay, to make them submit…quickly!

Tikka! You’re bad…we don’t want to hurt them there…but in their wallets…and don’t worry, they’ll come back for more!

                                                                                                                    

Just then, the gentleman who brought the two ladies drinks comes up to them. He’s got the definite look of a CEO playboy, a prime example of their target market segment.

He reaches out his right hand to greet the ladies and says…“..."

TO BE CONTINUED…

May you have many…excuse me, I hate to pass right by you so quickly, but I am a photon, with occasional, electromagnetic and gravity field-bent pathways, on my way toward outer space and beyond…may your fingers get sore from counting lots of $100 bills…smiles!
