Cental Health " """""'"Roa" DOES FLOSSING WORK?

Flossing may be a new subject for many persons. Most people seem to believe that a good brushing is suffi- cient, just as they may believe that a six-month checkup can prevent cavi- ties. As most adults (who display their dentist's handiwork when they open their mouths) can attest, cavities still appear even though the teeth are brushed and a dentist is seen on a regular basis.

One of the best solutions to a per- sistent cavity problem is to floss. Here's why: Even the best brush cannot com- pletely remove plaque BETWEEN the teeth and beneath the gumline. Regu-

lar flossing does remove plaque and debris from between the teeth and be- low the gumline — areas where decay often starts.

Those of you who think your teeth do not require flossing should test your teeth for plaque by purchasing a "dis- closing agent". After placing the dis- closing agent on the teeth, the plaque will be stained a bright red. This reveals where brushing is not adequate.

Presented as a public service to promote better dental health. From the office of JOHN B. MYRES, D.D.S., 700 S. McCarty Avenue, Eagle Lake, 234- 3525.

By Dr. Eric R. Tepper, Podiatrist BIKING & YOUR FEET

Biking, a popular activity for recreational and competitive reasons, is a great way to improve cardiovascular fitness and stay in shape. Besides a good bike, proper shoes are the most important piece of biking equipment you can buy. A shoe worn for cycling should support the arch, keep the forefoot balanced, lift the heel to maximize efficiency, and protect the foot. If a shoe allows the arch to collapse, the rider may experience arch pain, burning on the sole of the foot, or tendon problems. Other potential problems from improper or ill-fitting cycling shoes in- clude toe numbness, sesamoiditis, and shin splints. For the casual rider, cross- training shoes or cycling-hiking shoes work well. The more competitive rider will want cycling-specific shoes.

For those who participate in indoor activities of all kinds, professional attention and guidance can help reduce the potential for discomfort and injury. Since any difficulties with your feet can adversely affect your comfort and lifestyle, we invite you to call for an appointment at 234-5571 to receive comprehensive foot care geared to your personal foot care needs. We're located at Rice Medical Center. I am there every Tuesday.

P.S. Proper stretching and conditioning, the correct seat height, and good pedaling technique will also help prevent cycling injuries.
