While a dental "cleaning" may be the most common dental procedure done in a dental office, it is not without risks. 4325 Harvester Rd. Unit #1, Burlington, ON 905-632-4209 www.howellandassociates.com better LCD or plasma? Clinton Howell Director TM Q: I want to buy a flatscreen TV. What is good and bad A: Both technologies have examples ofright technology in the marketplace. Choosing the for you has a lot to do with the application. If you plan on watching TV in a room with fairly controlled lighting and not a lot of day light and if your high priority is the best quality for movies then I would go with Plasma hands down ­ the colours are truer, blacks are blacker and the picture is far more film-like. If you are putting the flatscreen in a room where there is a lot of daylight coming in and you are truly watching a large variety of media including sports and video games, my choice is LCD ­ the picture is brighter, bolder and there is no risk of screen burn-in that can happen with still images on plasma. All in all, both technologies can produce outstanding pictures, especially with HD sources...beware of rumours, technologies change quickly. Q: A: I want to be able to garden when I feel like it. But I am afraid that if I purchase my soil now, it will be all dried up by the time I am ready to use it, any suggestions? There are many things in your medical background that can affect how and if you are treated in a dental office, even if you are only having a dental "cleaning" or hygiene therapy. The most common occurrence would be bleeding. Most people have at least some inflammation in their gums and using instruments to clean the teeth will cause bleeding. Some medical conditions or medications people take can prolong bleeding to a point where it may be dangerous. Other conditions such as an artifical joint (i.e. hip) or a heart murmur- (which may mean a damaged heart valve) are at higher risk of infection from bacteria that enter your blood stream when your teeth are cleaned. If not protected by prescribed antibiotics, this can ultimately be very serious or in the case of a heart murmur-possibly fatal. Of course this is just the tip of the medical iceberg as many conditions can appear in the mouth or can be affected by what we do in the mouth. So, properly informed, dentists can keep you safe, healthy and help diagnose many problems. Order your Bulk Bag early. Spring weather is so unpredictable. And since there is no way to "order" a perfect day for yard work, you need to be ready when the weather is. It is on those perfect days when the sun is shining that you get the urge to be in your garden to do spring clean-up and flower-bed preparation. By buying your Black Garden soil early you'll be able to take advantage of the good weather as it comes. The Giant Bag will store conveniently on a corner of your driveway, keeping your garden soil dry and ready for planting. No hurry to use it up. It is ready when you are.
