Hollywood Smiles Report: Where Dentistry Meets The Red Carpet!...: The Creatures In The "Plaque Zoo" Of Your Mouth...When Enlarged...May Look Like This!

My Lovely Reader!...You finally found me!...Come with me ...

out of the Cold!

"It looks like I'm your

First Patient of the Day!"

"Good to see you, Reader!

I'm your "Official Welcomer Of This Week's Session!"

Please have a seat and relax!...

Please have a seat and relax!...
!

I am your Substitute Professor for today,

but

you should know that

I'm

give a lot of Homework

"Whoa!...Reader...good to finally see you!

I am "The Anointed and Appointed Facilitator

for Today!"

...Doctor HSR!...

I found a diary where you

keep notes on your Life!

I was unaware that you wrote about

things like that!...

if you want to

talk about things...

let's talk!"

...Hollywood!

I've been so "good" lately

and I've been

behaving myself so much,

I'm almost like a

"Haloed Angel!"

And I plan on keeping it up,

but,

...you are too, right?"!"

...Dr. Report,

I'm now the CEO of my own Company!

And I have you to

thank for it!"

Okay, folks! We're readying the road so

we can

get this show on it!"

You want some sugar from the Super Market?...

..okay!...

"OMG!...Dr. Report...

Your "All-In-One" patented apparatus here

straightens, whitens, and

even applies matte and lacquer!"

"Way to go,

my

Inventor Extraordinaire!"

Some people were just walking down the street

and they

saw

you and your

"sometimes,

just when you think that

you have seen it all...something new

pops up!"

smiles

need to stay safe and

away from the heavy rains and

mud flows!

Oh!...

I almost forgot!

Your Episode for Today is brought to you by

good, old fashioned

smoke signals!

Not this kind...

but this kind

and this too!...

...and it will take a while...

but just hang in there!

Oh...and by the way...

HSR is trying to fix his own computer by

DIY methods,

however,

in the back of his mind,

he remembers a friend

with a short temper

that got into it with some

unruly hardware!

So, HSR, who has had his own issues

with

noncompliant

computers,

and all of the secrets that can be exposed

on the World Wide Web to see...

...just makes sure that he's not

standing in

water!..then

while fiddling around...

he still gets...

...Oh no!

electrically shocked to the

max!

And stuff blows up

and he sees mental visions

And now he starts to see code

and data streams

evolving

everywhere!

And after HSR recovers

he starts to sport

an "Appropriate, Know It All Attitude"

like all IT guys

have!

But,

fortunately,

he meets and gets help from the

"Biggest IT Lady" of them all!...

Dr. Saiph Savage!

...and she helps people with

Human/Computer Interface Problems and

Anxieties,

so that people,

and also that our electric grids,

don't have

meltdowns!

"Doctor Report," says the beautiful Dr.

Savage,

"please use grounded plugs with circuit breakers,

and,

it's best if you don't sleep with your electronics

in the

bed, or even in the same room!

Computers are made to help...not

disrupt our lives

and make us

fearful!

HSR, please rest assured

that computers won't hurt us!"

And HSR responds,

"Thank you for your help, Doctor,

but,

I still have my

reservations about them!"

And People have reservations

about HSR!!...

...because,

during

"Do All Mouths Do "This"...Or "That"...When Reaching...The "Peaks Of Love And Happiness?"...,

HE USED TO BE A KID THAT

LOVED EVERYTHING THAT COULD FLY

IN

THE

AIR...

...YES!...

AND HE STARTED WITH A SIMPLE

BALSA WOOD PLANE...

BUT HSR DID HAVE SOME

DIFFICULTIES...

BUT HE EVENTUALLY GOT

BETTER AT THINGS!...

AND HE STILL HAS A SOFT SPOT

IN HIS HEART FOR THE

ANGRY

BIRDS!...I MEAN...

YOU GOTTA

LOVE 'UM!...RIGHT?

AND HE GOT GOOD AT DODGING FALLING

BIRDIE POOPEE!

BUT, ANYWAYS...WHEN HE GOT INTO DENTAL SCHOOL,

HE WAS ABLE TO BUY

HIS DREAM...

...GLIDER!

BECAUE HE COULDN'T AFFORD THE GAS

FOR A FUEL-SUCKING AIRPLANE!

SO,

HSR, WHILE ON BREAK FROM U. S. "MF" C.

DENTAL SCHOOL

HE GETS THE CRAZY IDEA TO FLY OVER

EUROPE!...WHICH HE DOES!

AND HE STARTS

BY GLIDING OFF

NEAR THE CLIFFS

OF THE TARKHANKUT PENINSULA

IN THE CITY OF

OLENIVKA, CRIMEA!

WHICH IS NOT TOO FAR FROM THE SWALLOW'S

NEST CASTLE!...

AND,

HSR HEADS WEST

OVER THE WATERS OF THE

CHORNE SEA

PART OF THE BLACK SEA...

AND HE PASSES THROUGH MOLDAVIA AND

THE BEAUTIFUL ROMANIA,

WHERE MANY PEOPLE SAY THAT

THE MEANING OF "ROMANCE"

STARTED!

AND NOW HE'S ABOUT TO

LAND NEAR

SVISHTOV, BULGARIA,

BY THE SPARKLING DANUBE

RIVER!

BUT TO GET THERE,

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODES,

HE HAD TO GET PAST SOME SERIOUS HURDLES!

BUT HE'S PAST ALL OF THAT NOW.

AND CURRENTLY... OVER

SVISHTOV,

AND HE SEES A NICE HILL

TO LAND ON,

WHICH WILL ALSO ALLOW HIM

TO TAKE OFF LATER...

SO, AFTER A PERFECT

SET DOWN,

HSR GETS OUT AND STRETCHES SOME

AND REMEMBERS A GUY IN HIS HOME TOWN THAT DOES

TAI CHI!

SO HE GETS INTO THE "ZEN ZONE,"

AND MEDITATES SOME

MOVES HISSELF!

NOW, HSR RECALLS THIS REALLY CUTE BUT TOUGH GIRL

THAT BEAT HIM UP IN JUNIOR HIGH

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE HER

IMMEDIATE BOYFRIEND!

MY...HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED!

SO,

HSR SHUTS THE GLIDER

AND STROLLS DOWN INTO TOWN

AND AFETR SOME SITE SEEING

OF A HISTORIC

MUSEUM,

AND A REAL SUN CLOCK

A LITTLE LATER,

A NICE LADY ASKS HIM,

"HI THERE, SIR!

MY NAME IS

TSVETINA TSEKOVA!

I NOTICED THAT YOU ARE JUST WALKING AROUND...

AND THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT FROM HERE...

MAYBE I CAN

SHOW YOU SOME OF THE GREAT PLACES IN BULGARIA!

I PROMISE...

NOT TO BITE!"...

"WELL, I NEED A BITE!...I'M FAMISHED," LAUGHS HSR...

SO AS THEY WALK,

THEY PASS A CHURCH

AND A PARK

AND THE MEMORIAL OF THE SEVEN SOULS

THEN THEY WALK DOWN A NATURAL PATH

"IT'S SO NICE THAT YOU CAN GLIDE ALL OVER COUNTRIES,

HSR...

AND YOU DON'T SEEM TO BE HESITANT

OR SCARED IN THE LEAST!" SAYS TSVETINA...

AND SHE ASKS,

"IS THERE A SPECIAL LADY IN YOU LIFE, SIR?"

AND HSR SMILES, " I HAVE MANY "SPECIAL LADIES"

IN MY LIFE...BUT NONE LIKE YOU, MISS TSEKOVA!

...

WELL, THEY FINALLY

GET TO A NICE PLACE

TO EAT...

AND TSVETINA

IS SO FUNNY THAT SHE HAS HSR JUST

LAUGHING

UNCONTROLLABLY!

BUT, NOW TSVETINA SAYS,

"HSR, IT'S BEEN SO NICE TALKING WITH YOU

AND LEARNING ABOUT YOUR ADVENTURES!

BUT I'VE GOT TO GO TO

MY JOB NOW!

BUT,

I MUST SAY, HSR, THAT

YOU MAKE IT VERY EASY

FOR ANY WOMAN TO SAY,

"OBICHAM TE!""

"WELL THEN, OBICHAM TE, BACK TO YOU, BABE!"

SMILES HSR, AND THEY BOTH GET UP

AND HSR GIVES HER A BIG

AND HAPPY HUG!

AND THEN HSR WAVES BYE

AND WATCHES HER AS SHE WALKS AWAY,

AND THINKS,

"MAN! TSVETINA IS SO "TSWEET!"

AND SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT

I

SHOULDN'T LET HER GET AWAY!"

THEN,

HSR PAYS AND LEAVES A BIG TIP

AND WALKING AGAIN OUTSIDE

HE SEES A BALLET HOUSE AND HE

SITS DOWN FOR A PERFORMANCE..

AND OH MAN!

HE IS JUST

BLOWN AWAY BY THE ELEGANCE

AND THE

MASTERY!

AND, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW THAT IN THE END

PEOPLE WENT

BONKERS!

SO AFTER CALMING DOWN SOME

HE STARTS TO HEAD BACK TO HIS GLIDER

BUT ON THE WAY,

HE SEES A NIGHT CLUB...

AND DECIDES TO CHECK IT OUT!

AND HE'S GLAD THAT HE DID, BECAUSE

"THEY CRAY-CRAY

JUST LIKE

BACK IN THE "USSA!"

AND ONE WOMAN ASKS HSR TO DANCE

AND SHE'S

ALL OVER THE PLACE!

"SHE'S PROLLY A HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR!" HE THINKS...

SO, AFTER A WHILE,

HSR THINKS HE BETTER GET BACK...

SO HE LEAVES

AND IT LOOKS A LITTLE INCLIMATE

OUTSIDE!

SO HE GETS TO THE GLIDER,

AND...

HEY, WAIT!...

WHAT'S THIS?

OMG!

A WOMAN WITH A MASK

IS INSIDE!...

AND SHE SAYS,

HI THERE!

I'M THE PRIMA BALLERINA WITH THE BALLET COMPANY, AND

I SAW

YOU TONIGHT...

AND I BROUGHT EVERYTHING

THAT YOU MIGHT NEED OVERNIGHT, SIR...

...MAY I

WHISPER IN

YOUR EAR?"

"Two different sets of eyes don't always see eye to eye...and maybe that's for the best!"

Dental

Plaque

has been trying to coat around our teeth ever since we had mouths!

Last count, there are at least 700

species of bacteria in the average mouth

and that's not even counting the viruses and fungi species!

And these facts started me to thinking...

(which can be dangerous!)

...we know how different germs look under the microscope...

well...

what if...

we were to let them coagulate and grow in form

to the size...

...of us?

Would we be opening a "Pandora's Box?"

...Maybe!

Would the enlarged species

gang up and look like this?

or like

this?

"Lesbi" honest!...

when enough of that stuff gets together...

and they odiferously proliferate in your face's Big Hole...

you can bet that a friend

(who else?)

may tell you that...

So, let's explore, shall we!

Here, we have an anaerobic, Gram-negative cocci Veillonella,

which, along with many others,

is implicated in periodontal disease,

and if

grown and enlarged in the lab,

will it resemble this creature?

Please prove me wrong!

Good ol' Streptoccocus mutans

a Gram-positive facultative anaerobe,

which helps in caries progression processes,

may reveal a macroscopic manifestation

that looks like

some otherworldly being!...

...I'd like to now!

And a relative,

streptococcus salivarius,

may produce something like the stuff on

Deviant Art!

Staphylococcus aureus,

a round-shaped, Gram-positive, facultative anaerobe,

may scare people with looks

that only a Mother can Love!

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans

a non-motile, Gram-negative, facultative anaerobe,

also implicated in periodontal disease,

looks pretty in a Petri Dish

but,

may startle the living daylights out of you

with its

up close and personal look!

Treponema denticola,

a highly proteolytic, motile, Gram-negative, obligate anaerobe,

also implicated in periodontal disease...

...and...

bacterial vaginosis...

just might "make your day"

with it's unusual

way of "reaching out to you!"

Prevotella,

a Gram-negative species

found in the mouth and vagina,

among other places,

(be careful of eating at "that" restaurant!)

may "turn you off"

just like it would me!

Campylobacter rectus

also takes part in the bone-destructive,

chronic periodontal disease process.

It is found to be a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobe

and

if it "blows up" into

something that we can see,

it may

choke a person with its

"sausage morphology"

and wagging flagella down the throat!

Eeeew!...

...That's enough to make me

...OMG!

Rothia dentocariosa,

which is a non-motile

catalase- and Gram-positive bacterium

and is able to reduce nitrate to nitrite,

is enough to bring many to tears,

especially if it is allowed to

grow unchecked into its

most virulent form!

It theoretically can also reduce the mouth and face

to hideousness!

Capnocytophaga gingivalis,

found under the gums and in bite

wounds

may shock you with its

"monstrously handsome" profile!

And its "cousin" relative

Capnocytophaga sputigena

may change your facial features

on the spot after

its insidious incubation period!

And then there's

possibly the worst one of them all!...

...the carious predatorus wingulus!

discovered by this blog's writer,

Dr. Ralph Winge!

Some "Oralists" acknowledge the possibility that it can

"Kill"

a tooth within sixty days!

And, while it is still currently in the "Petri Dish Stage,"

it is surmised that its effects on the mouth

may be

very horrible and irreversible!

And its intermediate form may

voraciously "eat" hard enamel substrate,

causing significant morbidity and mortality,

to whomever is unfortunate enough to contract it!

And some Synthetic Microbiologists theorize that

Host and Microbe DNAs can possibly

mix and recombine and

make a creature

that may

eat humans alive

in part...

...or in whole!

And its Dental Plaque will be totally harmless to itself!

I gotta tell ya...

One very distraught Perio patient, who

was just so sick and tired and fed up

with the germs and the

Oral Bio-burden in his mouth,

that

he wanted to "end

them all" right now!

But,

I quickly rushed over

and not only told him

no, no, no...

but I emphasized to him

"That's definitely not the way to do it!"

and

"Don't throw the Baby out with the Bath Water!"

and

"Just minimize your plaque...and that's good enough!"

So,

People!...

floss, brush, and rinse

like your "Life"

depends on it..

...because it really does!

And don't let those
