A: Gambling means risking money, property or something of value on an event or activity which the outcome is determined by chance. This includes not only licensed formats such as casinos, bingos, scratch tickets, horse races etc. but also the informal wagering that people do amongst themselves. Q: What is Problem Gambling? A: Problem gambling means that a person's gambling is having a negative impact on their life and/or on the lives of those close to them. This can be the result of a one time event or an ongoing pattern of behaviour. If you are wondering if your gambling is a problem or if you are concerned about someone else's gambling help is available. Q: Who should be injecting BOTOX? A: BOTOX injection is a medical procedure, and for your a purified protein. It is manufactured under strict quality control standards and is administered in extremely dilute dosages. A tiny amount is injected into the muscle that creates the dynamic wrinkle. When BOTOX is injected into the muscle, it blocks the nerve impulse from reaching that area, and as a result, the muscle relaxes and the dynamic wrinkle overlying the muscle is smoothed away. It gives the face a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. Best of all, regular use of this treatment will soften expression lines and help to "stop the clock" on the development or further deepening of lines. Ask Your Expert!

Can it be done? #1 It is difficult to give exact advice without seeing your teeth but I would not recommend trying to whiten your teeth so close to such an important day. The white spots on your teeth are decalcified or incompletely formed areas of enamel. This makes them more absorbent to whitening gels and will whiten more quickly. This can make things look worse in the short term. Very intensive whitening needs to be continued to let the darker areas catch up. Afterwards you may still be able to see the spotty look of the teeth but if successful it will be much lessened, and your teeth will look a more uniform whiter appearance than before. There are other techniques to aid in the removal of white spots that involve the physical removal of the enamel white spots. If the white spots are deep, you may also need composite bonding to replace the enamel that is removed. If all of these techniques fail to satisfy you, ultimately you may be a candidate for Poreclain Veneers. As you can see, whitening can be much more complicated than the over the counter and "Whitening boutiques" would have you believe. Have a safe, healthy summer!
