SCUBA DIVERS BEWARE
What does scuba diving
have to do with dentistry?
If you are a scuba diver,
be sure to mention this to
your dentist. Ask how the
treatment you are having
could affect you as a
scuba diver. It could save
you a lot of unnecessary
pain and problems. For
example:
If a scuba diver is being
treated for root canal
therapy which is tem
porized partially with
cotton and he goes diving,
complications can result -
and most probably will.
In diving, the at
mospheric pressure
changes. In fact, the
pressure increases
tremendously with each
foot you descend. When
air is trapped within the
cotton fibers ih a root
canal, the air will expand
when the diver surfaces
resulting in a whopper of
a toothache.

Even a filling which
may have an air pocket
can cause the diver
problems on descent. The
pressure is decreased
(relative to the outside
pressure of the water)
and the air pocket is
compressed. This could
cause pain - and even
result in an imploded
tooth. In either case, the
diver is going to need a
dentist in a hurry. This
may be a problem,
especially if you like to
dive off remote islands.

aim of promoting a better
dental health en
vironment. From the

Water For Headache
Drinking water can
eliminate a headache in 9
out of 10 youngsters,
according to Dr. Ray
LaForest, pediatrician at
Scarborough Hospital. He
attributes 90 per cent of
the headaches in school
children to dehydration.
“A youngster can lose as
much as a quart of water
during an active gym
period.” In his studies on
200 children, most
headaches disappeared
after drinking water. Both
children and adults can
benefit from the natural
cure for headaches
water.

PARENTS’ ATTITUDE VITAL
Ten-year-old Johnnie had
trouble seeing the black
board. He did poorly at little
league baseball. He couldn't
focus on the moving ball. An
eye examination indicated
that Johnnie needed
corrective glasses for seeing
at a distance. Johnnie came
home with Mom wearing his
first pair of glasses. As they
entered the front door,
Johnnie's father was obvious
about his disappointment.
The negative attitude can be
devastating to the self
esteem of a youngster.
Jhe greatest problems
encountered with children
who wear glasses originate
from parents-not children.
Children are quite willing and

They were four of the 150

The program was
designed to help par

into their responsibilities as
citizens, a greater un
derstanding of their nation’s
heritage and the functions of
government, and enrich
ment of knowledge about
international affairs and
cultures of the world.
One day was devoted to a
visit to Capitol Hill where
homemakers had an op
portunity to visit with
Congressmen, attend
hearings and tour the
Capitol Building, the
Library of Congress and
Supreme Court. They
visited with Rep. Walter B.
