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.

Hines, Jr. D.D.S., Fellow of The Academy Os General Dentistry 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.

OPTOMETRIST 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.

They are quick to understand that glasses will allow them better vision and thus give them an easier time at school and at play. JThe idea that there is something wrong is usually picked up from their parents. Advice? Try not to express disappointment in your child’s presence if glasses are indicated. For the sake of the child, try to be positive about the visual benefits glasses will afford. In the interest of better vision from the office of: A.F. Downum, Jr., O.D. 103 W.
