Dear Abby

Proud dentist claims he’s old but not yet old-fashioned

DEAR ABBY: Please allow me to respond to the letter in your column from “Zita,” the registered dental hygienist from Hicksville, N.Y. She said she is “exhausted and emotionally drained” from treating patients who were formerly under the care of “two elderly dentists” who were “trained in an era of dentistry that did not understand periodontal disease and hadn’t learned anything since,” and that “dentures were something that were expected by most older people in the 1920 s through the 19505.” She closed by stating that the vast majority of older dentists “have not kept up with the times.” Zita, this year I will have completed 50 years in dentistry. I, and my colleagues, resent your statement that we did not understand periodontal disease (gum disease). I was a clinical instructor of periodontia at the University of California in the 19505, and we used the same hand instruments for scaling under the gums that you use today. The modern cry about calculus, plaque, gum stimulation, mouthwashes and immaculate oral hygiene were given to patients then. You are very naive if you actually believe that you in

Remembering Dad I lost my Dad when I was seven teenHe's on my mind often it seems. Missing so much the short life he livedKnowing only one of his many grandkids. Remembering Dad, a mechanic, a hunter— Coon dogs barking in the winter and summer. A Chevy coupe with a rumble seatA yellow pick-up truck and a yellow jeep. Remembering Dad an easygoing manNever using the back of his hand. I had no Father to turn to; to show me he caredBut I have One in Spirit, in everything we share. Remembering Dad the night he suffered soHe talked to his Savior, I sense it in my soul. If you still have your Dad, no matter his ageTellhim you love him, uplift him with praise. Remembering Dad, I know he awaits; For me in Heaven within the Golden Cates. Adrenne Patterson In memory of fames Clifford Mathews

the so-called modem generation developed all these new techniques, unknown to us “older” dentists. We had local, state and national societies that were very well attended for any update not only in periodontics, but all phases of dentistry. I cannot tell you whether the dentists in Hicksville attend their society meetings, any more than I can tell you how many dental hygienists attend their component society meetings. But I assume that after spending the time, effort and money to get a degree, they will keep current in whatever field of endeavor they are in. I do not want to be the exception

Hints from Heloise

Saving face with longer-lasting makeup

DEAR HELOISE: I hope you can help me with a problem I have with my makeup. It looks great when I leave for the office in the morning, but it only lasts a few hours, then I have to re-apply it The base and powder is expensive and I expect it to last. Maybe I’m not applying it properly. Can you give me any tips? Judith Harris, Midland, Texas Cosmetologists say no matter how you apply makeup or what kind you use, it probably won’t last more than six hours. Here are some tips that will help you look good for as long as possible. * Powder is what sets your makeup and is the key for longer-lasting makeup. Either loose or pressed powder-is fine. After you apply the powder, dab a lightly dampened sponge over it. It will give a lovely glow to your skin. You can also dampen a sponge or cotton bail in an astringent lotion instead of water to set the makeup. The area around your eyes will have a moister look if you don’t powder it. Where you store your powder is also important. Keep it dry! You can store loose powder in a salt or pepper shaker, which makes it easy to shake out enough in the palm of your hand, then dip a

BROTHERS A Brother's love is true and strongNo matter which is right or wrong. Though not alike in many waysThe bond is there from their childhood days. One must give or one must takeTo escape regret to a foolish mistake. Together they must take a standomen they need a helping hand. It breaks a caring parent's heartWhen they see them tom apart. Brothers, Jesus said the road was narrowHe knows your need and each fallen sparrow. Brothers bind together through near or far— And God will accept each of you as you are. Adrenne Patterson

Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: The recent article written by a dental hygienist prompts me to reply, as my experience was just the opposite of hers. I consulted a new dentist for a routine examination and was shocked when he criticized the work of my previous dentist. He told me that I would need a lot of corrective work full mouth restoration, replacing old fillings, capping teeth at a tremendous price. I decided to get a second opinion this time with another “new” dentist. He said my mouth was fine, cleaned my teeth, and told me how to take care of my gums. Now, years later, I have moved to a new city and consulted a “new” dentist. He told me my old fillings are still sound and nothing needs replacing.

powder puff or makeup brush into it. If you have old blush brushes, save them for your powder or you can use a shaving brush. It’s the perfect size for applying powder. Heloise BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Dear Heloise: My daughter and her husband were expecting their first child a few months ago and as the date of the delivery drew near, the phone rang every day. Friends and neighbors wanted to know how she was doing. Most often the questions were, “Are you still there?” or “Any signs yet?” They had a clever idea and told their neighbors to watch the mailbox each day. The day she left to have her baby, her husband put a big white bow on it. When he returned later that

So, I suggest a second opinion before undertaking extensive, expensive dental work, especially when recommended by a dentist who may have some fancy ideas. J.L.E., NEW WESTMINSTER DEAR J.L.E.: I recommend getting a second opinion if there is any question about the first. And just to be sure, consider a third. ♦ * * DEAR ABBY: Will you please tell me when, where and how the toilet came to be known as a john? Thank you. WIFE AND MOTHER OF A JOHN, NOT A TOILET DEAR WIFE: In researching the subject, I learned more about toilets than I cared to know. I found several conflicting theories on how the toilet came to be known as “the john,” the most reasonable explanation being that the first toilet was called “john” after its English inventor back in the early 1800 s. I bought it, after checking it out with a plumber in Flushing.

night, he replaced it with a large blue bow to let everyone know they had a baby boy. Laura Stein, Auburn, N.Y. COVERED DISHES Dear Heloise: I prefer to cover refrigerator dishes of leftovers and other food with aluminum foil, but I had a problem: My family looked in the dishes and then left the foil off. Now 1 use a red marker and write on the foil what’s in the dish, the date and whether or not it can be eaten or is being saved for a special recipe. This has worked so well that now I’m using the same system for the freezer. I just keep the marker handy in the utensil drawer. Barbara Wolffarth, Lubbock, Texas KEEPING PEPPERS Dear Heloise: How do you keep green peppers fresh? Before I can use one up it begins to wither. Marguerite Walsh, Speedway, Ind. I’ve had many people suggest wrapping the unused portions in a paper towel, or putting a piece of paper towel in the container you store the pepper in. The best storage for any length of time, though, is freezing. It will be soft when it thaws, but the flavor will still be there and it will be fine for cooking, hi fact, if you chop the pepper before you freeze it, it will be ready to add to your favorite recipe.
