How important is beauty in today's society now that we are in a recession with a war and everything?

---

Do you think people can still make it in today's world based on their looks? Can sleeping your way to the top keep you safe from lay offs and strikes and what not? What's your opinion? And for the men- how important is having a hot wife? Are trophy wives desirable?
Beauty and fashion is important in today's life, a pretty girl may find a better job, a hdsome boy can have more chances  (+ info)

What is YOUR OWN most delicious and most nutritious recipe for Recession Soup?

---

You don't have to give us exact measurements, just a good description of what is in there and how to make it.
Bones, onions, dried peas soaked overnight (or any legume, or potatoes - chick peas are great and you can make them into a nourishing paste to spread on bread as hummus), dried mint (makes anything tasty). With a carrot or three. In fact, a combination of anything edible. And if you've got some flour (preferably self-raising), rub plenty of dripping, fat, or butter through it and make dumpling/s on top of the soup while it cooks. Makes it more filling. And if you end with more dumpling than you need for the soup, pop it in a dish with Golden Syrup or treacle for "sweets". Old sailors' tricks. What doesn't kill fattens. Never be without an onion!  (+ info)

How do you feel that the swine flu alert now at the second highest level will affect the US recession?

---

It seems if people are encouraged to stay home and not go out and about their business that people who depend upon customers may go out of business. Many businesses were on the brink already.

Is there any way to reverse gum recession?

---

If I have had problems with gum recession and I've taken the appropriate steps to stop it, will my gums ever heal and/or regenerate?
receding gums is serious, the best thing to do is to get to the dentist as soon as possible to avoid teeth to be falling out. you need to have a good program of oral hygiene every after meal.

foods particles that is left and usually clings to the teeth are the source of bacteria to cause receding gums. it is a must to floss and brush teeth after meal to remove plaque and tartar. practice oral care would also be a great help like proper brushing and careful flossing.

use an all natural oral care product as a part of good oral hygiene to fight the cause of gum infections. visit http://www.oramd.co.uk for more bad breath care tips.  (+ info)

Does anyone have any experience with free gingival graft surgery?

---

I may need to have the proceedure done and was wondering if anyone would share their experiences in term of surgery, recovery, and cost. Thanks :)
I work for a dentist and my dad has had it done and it is very painful and I would only do it as a last resort. Very costly. Took my dad a month. Could not eat very very bad pain.  (+ info)

Will the recession and lack of health insurance keep the hospital from working on me with health problems?

---

Im sure millions of people wonder if they have a lapse in health insurance and have cancer for example, will the hospital refuse service to them. That goes for any health problem. What happens today when you go to the hospital with a heart attack and no health insurance? And are you treated as skum at the hospital and is your care reduced?
No. Although some hospitals may be filled with assholes who will butt you out.

Hospitals are required to take in things like gunshot wounds, heart attacks, and all of those other immediate life threatening injuries and conditions. They have to take you in and stabilize you.

At least that's what they do at Mass General Hospital and BU medical in Boston.

It's those, what I like to call, "dumb" things that ERs can get filled with. You know. People with a cough and sore throat thinking they have TB. Those things that could be solved by a 5 minute doctor's visit (which in turn is actually and most literally tens to hundreds of times cheaper than going to an ER).  (+ info)

Does using an electric toothbrush (instead of a regular brush) actually help prevent gum recession?

---

I just started using the Sonicare toothbrush and wanted to know the effects it has on gum recession. Does it prevent it or does it cause more of it? Any input would be helpful. Thanks!
I am a complete believer and supporter of SoniCare. I recommend them to my patient's. Flossing is crucial to help prevent gum recession. When flossing you are going just beneath the gingival tissues a bit where most ( not even electric brushes can go ). To your answer...it does aid in doing a better job of cleaning around the gumline, but flossing is just as important and should be a regular part of your home care.
Remember, you should also see your hygienist and dentist every 6 months for routine cleanings and exams. There could be things going on that you can't always see.  (+ info)

Preventing further gum recession from a piercing?

---

If I changed from the 14g labret stud to a 16g designated "monroe" stud, would it prevent further recession on my gums?
I've had it for two years with minimal damage, but I just barely noticed and it's driving me crazy.

Would the stud be shorter in this case?
I'm using a standard bioplast labret bar.
If you go back to your piercer and tell them whats happening they should be able to recommend different jewlerry to help prevent further recession. I can't remember without looking it up but there is a certain type of jewlerry that doesn't rub on your gums because of the design. You could always wear a CBR in it aswell.

If it gets worse I would suggest taking the bar out and letting it heal.  (+ info)

Can I reverse gum recession by better flossing?

---

My periodontist recommends that I get gum surgery (free soft tissue graft) to help repair some deep pockets (5mm) and severe gum recession. Although I have been flossing, I certainly could have been more regular and diligent with it. Does anyone know if gum recession can be reversed with better flossing?
Thanks
Gum recession is caused by 2 things.
1-aggresive brushing side to side with a harder tooth brush.
Make sure you buy a power brush with soft bristles. Run it under hot water if you must to get it soft. Over lap the bristles on the gums inside and out to brush teeth well.

2-Gum disease.
Floss, use power brush, get surgery-get root planing.

The gums will NOT grow back-sorry.  (+ info)
