Ktlhi Avoid A Silent Dental Disaster

Has a friend ever told you you have bad breath? Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth? Are your gums sore or puffy? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you could have gum disease. Noticing such symptoms now—and taking early action by seeing. your periodontist — can save you a great deal of trouble later on. Periodontists are dentists, who specialize in diagnosing, and treating gum disease, which afflicts 75% to 90% of the population, and causes adult Americans to lose more teeth than all other factors combined. With a silent threat like glaucoma or high blood pressure, often there are no synfptoms, so it may be far advanced before you realize you have it. "Vet with good personal care, including proper brushing and flossing, and regular professional cleaning, gum disease can be prevented. If diagnosed early enough, it can be cured. Even, advanced cases can be controlled and your teeth saved.

If you lose your natural teeth to gum disease, your diet, health and appearance will suffer. Your diet, because many foods are not easy to eat with false teeth. Your health, because it is greatly affected by your food intake. Your appearance, because your jawbone deterioriates when your teeth are extracted, changing the shape of your face. And...losing your teeth makes you feel “old” because many people associate dentures with old age. That is why a preventive care exam and prompt treatment by a periodontist are so important. By acting now, you can keep your smile attractive and look younger — longer. For information about periodontists in your area, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the American Academy of Periodontology at 211 East Chicago Ave., Chicago ILOOSII.

Economic pendulum swings

By R.L. KOHLS Agricultural Econ. Depart. Purdue University It was more than a decade ago that the oil exporting nations began flexing their oil monopoly muscles. Consumers and businessmen groaned as the sharply higher oil prices bored in, on everyone’s pocketbook. Well, not quite everyone! U.S. oil companies, oil well owners and all the businesses related to oil prospecting, drilling and refining boomed. The newly rich in Dallas and Houston made headlines with their spending sprees. Cities in these areas exploded with growth. The treasuries of our oil-producing states ran over. Alaska had trouble deciding how the wealth from the pipeline operation was to be distributed. The double blow of the 1982 recession and the flood tide of foreign manufactured products hit the steel, automotive, and heavy manufacturing areas of Indiana and the Great Lakes states hard. Unemployed workers from the depressed plants of many of our cities found their way to new oil-related jobs in the booming Southwest. How the economic pendulum does swing! Reduced demand and increased supply have broken up the economic tea-party of the oil exporting nations. Crude oil and gasoline prices have dropped sharply. Consumers and businessmen have reacted with glee at the prospect of lower costs of almost everything. Well, not quite everyone! Domestic oil well owners.
