Below are the list of top 120 DENTIST Interview Questions and Answers pdf free download for freshers and experienced medical students.
DENTIST Interview Questions and Answers :-
1) Who is dentist?
A dentist, also known as a dental surgeon, is a health care practitioner who specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity. The dentist's supporting team aids in providing oral health services. The dental team includes dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians, and in some states, dental therapists.
2) What are the responsibilities of dentist?
A licensed dentist can carry out most dental treatments such as restorative (dental restorations, crowns, bridges), orthodontics (braces), prosthodontic (dentures, crown/bridge), endodontic (root canal) therapy, periodontal (gum) therapy, and oral surgery (extraction of teeth), as well as performing examinations, taking radiographs (x-rays) and diagnosis. Additionally, dentists can further engage in oral surgery procedures such as dental implant placement. Dentists can also prescribe medications such as antibiotics, fluorides, pain killers, local anesthetics, sedatives/hypnotics and any other medication that serve in the treatment of the various conditions that arise in the head and neck.
3) Why is sugar bad for teeth?
Sugar attacks the enamel on your teeth and can lead to cavities. You can avoid the damaging effects of sugar by brushing and flossing your teeth two to three times a day and limiting the amount of sugary foods and snacks you eat and drink.
4) What if someone losing his sense of taste?
There is a natural, age-related decrease in our sense of taste and smell. In addition, certain medications, diseases and even wearing dentures can contribute to a decrease in the sense of taste.

Heinz ketchup – 4g per 15g (1 tbsp)
Classico pasta sauce – 6g per 125mL
18) How does sugar damage teeth?
Sugar acts like an acid dissolving the enamel on teeth. Each time you eat a snack containing sugar, the resulting acid attack can last up to 20 minutes. The naturally-occurring bacteria in the mouth use sugar as energy to multiply and stick themselves to the surface of a tooth. Over time, this turns into plaque and continues to eat away at the tooth's enamel. Tiny holes will eventually be made in the enamel. These are cavities. Left un-treated cavities will continue to grow.
19) What are the causes of receding gums?
–> Overzealous toothbrushing:
Brushing too hard around the gum line, or just brushing with bristles that are too hard, can erode gums.
–> Tooth grinding (a.k.a. bruxism):
Some people grind so hard that the pressure accelerates gum erosion. In many cases, your dentist can shave down a tooth that is causing your bite to hit against another tooth. In other cases, you may need to get a customized mouth guard to wear at night (when most grinding and clenching occurs) to prevent further damage.
–> Gum disease:
This is an infection of the gums that occurs when bacteria become lodged between the tooth and the gum. The bacteria eventually eat away at the bone and the supporting tissues at the base of the tooth. As the bone recedes, so does the surrounding gum tissue.
20) Tell me which toothbrush is better, a manual toothbrush or an electric one?
Either kind of brush is fine, but you are more likely to spend the right amount of time brushing-two to three minutes-when youre using an electric toothbrush, says Barbara Ann Rich, a spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry and a dentist in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. (Manual brushes average less than one minute.) Whichever you use, choose one with soft bristles. Others may be too abrasive and could lead to receding gums. No matter what kind of brush you choose, be sure to floss daily.
21) How to treated with dry mouth?
–> Suck on sugar-free candy or chew sugar-free gum.
–> Drink plenty of water to help keep your mouth moist.
–> Brush with a fluoride toothpaste, use a fluoride rinse, and visit your dentist regularly.
–> Breathe through your nose, not your mouth, as much as possible.
–> Use a room vaporizer to add moisture to the bedroom air.
–> Use an over-the-counter artificial saliva substitute.
22) Is dry mouth can be a problem?
Dry mouth also raises your risk of gingivitis (gum disease), tooth decay, and mouth infections, such as thrush. Dry mouth can also make it hard to wear dentures.
23) List the symptoms of dry mouth?
–> A sticky, dry feeling in the mouth
–> Frequent thirst
–> Sores in the mouth; sores or split skin at the corners of the mouth; cracked lips
–> A dry feeling in the throat
–> A burning or tingling sensation in the mouth and especially on the tongue
–> A dry, red, raw tongue
–> Problems speaking or trouble tasting, chewing, and swallowing
–> Hoarseness, dry nasal passages, sore throat
–> Bad breath
24) Which kind of lifestyle causes dry mouth?
Smoking or chewing tobacco can affect how much saliva you make and aggravate dry mouth. Breathing with your mouth open a lot can also contribute to the problem.
25) What are the side effect of certain medical treatments which causes dry mouth?
Damage to the salivary glands, the glands that make saliva, can reduce the amount of saliva produced. For example, the damage could stem from radiation to the head and neck, and chemotherapy treatments, for cancer.
26) What are the side effect of diseases and infections which causes dry mouth?
Dry mouth can be a side effect of medical conditions, including Sjogren's syndrome, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, anemia, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and mumps.
27) What are the side effect of certain medications which causes dry mouth?
Dry mouth is a common side effect of many prescription and nonprescription drugs, including drugs used to treat depression, anxiety, pain, allergies, and colds (antihistamines and decongestants), obesity, acne, epilepsy, hypertension (diuretics), diarrhea, nausea, psychotic disorders, urinary incontinence, asthma (certain bronchodilators), and Parkinson's disease. Dry mouth can also be a side effect of muscle relaxants and sedatives.
28) What are the causes of dry mouth?
–> Side effect of certain medications.
–> Side effect of certain diseases and infections.
–> Side effect of certain medical treatments.
–> Nerve damage.
–> Dehydration.
–> Surgical removal of the salivary glands.
–> Lifestyle.
29) What are the symptoms of malocclusion?
The most obvious sign is teeth that are crooked or stick out. But there are many different types of malocclusion. For example, some people have buck teeth (called an overjet). This means that the upper front teeth are pushed outward. Some people have an underbite. Their lower front teeth sit farther forward than their upper front teeth.
30) Tell me what causes malocclusion?
Malocclusion is usually caused by problems with the shape or size of the jaw or teeth. A common cause is having too much or too little room in the jaw. If a child's jaw is small, the teeth may grow in crowded or crooked. If there's too much space in the jaw, the teeth may drift out of place.
31) What is malocclusion?
Malocclusion means having crooked teeth. Bite refers to the way the upper and lower teeth line up. In a normal bite, the upper teeth sit slightly forward of the lower teeth. Very few people have a perfect bite.
32) What is tooth extraction?
A tooth that is severely damaged may need to be removed. A surgeon who specializes in surgeries of the mouth (oral and maxillofacial surgeon) or your dentist can remove a tooth.
33) What is aligners for teeth?
Everybody wants a great smile, but a lot of us need help getting there. More and more people are having success with clear orthodontic devices called aligners.
34) Can good dental hygiene reduces the amount of bacteria in your blood stream?
yes. Every time you brush your teeth you release some bacteria into your mouth. That's not usually a problem. But when your gums are inflamed from gingivitis or other problems, you release a much higher load of bacteria, and that can contribute to health problems. The best way to prevent inflammation and gum disease is to brush and floss your teeth regularly.
35) Is vitamin deficiencies can be seen in the mouth?
Yes. Not getting enough iron can cause sores at the corners of the mouth, and can lead to a sore tongue. Vitamin C deficiency causes gums to easily bruise and bleed, and may lead to tooth loss. Vitamin D deficiency boosts the risk of jaw fracture and gum disease.
36) Will gum disease during pregnancy can cause premature birth?
Yes. Some studies show gum disease to be a risk factor for preterm/low birth weight; however, few have looked that the impact of prevention and treatment on pregnancy outcomes. Other studies have not found an association and do not support the findings that gum disease is a risk factor for preterm/low birth weight babies.
Now, pregnant women have even more reason to shun cigarettes. Smoking is a big risk factor for developing gum disease.
37) Can a women with osteoporosis have weak bones but strong teeth?
No. Older women can lose their pearly whites to osteoporosis. When bone thinning strikes, typically after menopause, the jaw isn't spared; its tooth sockets may become too weak to hold the teeth.
38) Is bad breath can be a sign of diabetes?
No. Diabetes doesn't cause bad breath, but it can cause "acetone breath," often described as smelling sweet or fruity. Another telltale sign: lots of gum inflammation, despite regular flossing and brushing. Dentists who see these symptoms often refer patients to a doctor to check for diabetes. That's because uncontrolled diabetes hampers the body's ability to fight off bacterial infection, which can lead to runaway gum disease.
39) Can people with bad teeth and gums are more likely to develop heart disease?
Yes. Several large studies suggest a possible link between the health of your teeth and gums and heart disease. Researchers find that gum disease and health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and pneumonia are associated. These studies do not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Well-controlled, large studies are needed to establish if a relationships exists and if treating gum disease affects general health.
40) Can binge eating is wreck teeths?
Binge eating often involves excessive amounts of sweets, which can lead to tooth decay. Binging and purging (bulimia nervosa) can do even more damage to dental health. The strong acids found in vomit can erode teeth, making them brittle and weak. These acids also cause bad breath. Bulimia can lead to a variety of serious health problems, so be sure to talk to your doctor if you have been purging.
41) Can drinking white wine is harmful for teeths?
You might think sticking to white wine would spare your teeth. But the acids still weaken the enamel, leaving the teeth porous and vulnerable to staining from other beverages, such as coffee. Swishing with water after drinking or using toothpaste with a mild whitening agent can fight the staining effects of red and white wines.
42) Can drinking red wine harmful for teeths?
The acids in wine eat away at tooth enamel, creating rough spots that make teeth more vulnerable to staining. Red wine also contains a deep pigment called chromogen and tannin's, which help the color stick to the teeth. This combination makes it easy for the wine's red color to stay with you long after your glass is empty.
43) Can smoking is also harmful for teeth?
Cigarettes, as well as other tobacco products, can stain teeth and cause them to fall out as a result of gum disease. Tobacco can also cause cancer of the mouth, lips, and tongue. If you were looking for one more reason to quit, think of your smile.
44) Can drinking coffee is harmful for teeths?
Coffee's dark color and acidity can cause yellowing of the teeth over time. Fortunately, it's one of the easiest stains to treat with various whitening methods. Talk to your dentist if you're concerned about discoloration of your teeth.
45) Can chewing on pencil is harmful for teeths?
Do you ever chew on your pencil when concentrating on work or studies? Like crunching on ice, this habit can cause teeth to chip or crack. Sugarless gum is a better option when you feel the need to chew. It will trigger the flow of saliva, which can make teeth stronger and protect against enamel-eating acids.
46) Can constant snackings are harmful for teeths?
Snacking produces less saliva than a meal, leaving food bits in your teeth for hours longer. Avoid snacking too frequently, and stick to snacks that are low in sugar and starch — for example, carrot sticks.
47) Can potato chips causes wreck teeth?
The bacteria in plaque will also break down starchy foods into acid. This acid can attack the teeth for the next 20 minutes — even longer if the food is stuck between the teeth or you snack often. You might want to floss after eating potato chips or other starchy foods that tend to get stuck in the teeth.
48) Can fruit juice causes wreck teeth?
Fruit juice is loaded with vitamins and antioxidants, but unfortunately most juices are also loaded with sugar. Some juices can have as much sugar per serving as soda. For example, there are only 10 more grams of sugar in orange soda than in orange juice. Fruits are naturally sweet, so look for juice that has no added sugar. You can also reduce the sugar content by diluting juice with some water.
49) Can sports drinks causes wreck teeth?
There's no doubt a cold sports drink is refreshing after a good workout. But these drinks are usually high in sugar. Like soda or candy, sugary sports drinks create an acid attack on the enamel of your teeth. Drinking them frequently can lead to decay. A better way to stay hydrated at the gym is to chug sugar-free, calorie-free water.
50) Can opening stuff (like, bottle caps or plastic packaging) with teeth wreck teeth?
Opening bottle caps or plastic packaging with your teeth may be convenient, but this is one habit that makes dentists cringe. Using your teeth as tools can cause them to crack or chip. Instead, keep scissors and bottle openers handy. Bottom line, your teeth should only be used for eating.
51) Can soda wreck teeth?
Candy isn't the only culprit when it comes to added sugar. Sodas can have up to 11 teaspoons of sugar per serving. To add insult to injury, sodas also contain phosphoric and citric acids, which eat away at tooth enamel. Diet soft drinks let you skip the sugar, but they may have even more acid in the form of the artificial sweeteners.
52) Can gummy candy wreck teeth?
All sugary treats promote tooth decay, but some candies are harder to bear. Gummies stick in the teeth, keeping the sugar and resulting acids in contact with your enamel for hours. If your day just isn't the same without a gummy critter, pop a couple during a meal instead of as a separate snack. More saliva is produced during meals, which helps rinse away candy bits and acids.
53) Can chewing ice wreck teeth?
It's natural and sugar free, so you might think ice is harmless. But munching on hard, frozen cubes can chip or even crack your teeth. And if your mindless chomping irritates the soft tissue inside a tooth, regular toothaches may follow. Hot foods and cold foods may trigger quick, sharp jabs of pain or a lingering toothache. Next time you get the urge for ice, chew some sugarless gum instead.
54) Can playing sports with no mouth guard wreck teeth?
Whether you play football, hockey, or any other contact sport, don't get in the game without a mouth guard. This is a piece of molded plastic that protects the upper row of teeth. Without it, your teeth could get chipped or even knocked out when the action gets rough. Self-fitting mouth guards may be purchased at a store, or you can have one custom made by your dentist.
55) Can bedtime bottles wreck teeth?
It's never too early to protect teeth. Giving a baby a bedtime bottle of juice, milk, or formula, can put new teeth on a path to decay. The baby may become used to falling asleep with the bottle in his or her mouth, bathing the teeth in sugars overnight. It's best to keep bottles out of the crib.
56) Can tongue piercings wreck teeth?
Tongue piercings may be trendy, but biting down on the metal stud can crack a tooth. Lip piercings pose a similar risk. And when metal rubs against the gums, it can cause gum damage that may lead to tooth loss. The mouth is also a haven for bacteria, so piercings raise the risk of infections and sores. Bottom line, discuss the health risks with your dentist first.
57) Can grinding teeth wreck teeth?
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can wear teeth down over time. It is most often caused by stress and sleeping habits. This makes it hard to control. Avoiding hard foods during the day can reduce pain and damage from this habit. Wearing a mouth guard at night can prevent the damage caused by grinding while sleeping.
58) Can cough drops wreck teeth?
Just because cough drops are sold in the medicine aisle doesn't mean they're healthy. Most are loaded with sugar. So after soothing your throat with a lozenge, be sure to brush well. Whether the sugar comes from a cough drop or a hard candy, it reacts with the sticky plaque that coats your teeth. Then bacteria in the plaque convert the sugar into an acid that eats away at tooth enamel. Hello, cavities.
59) When root canal procedure is performed?
A root canal procedure is performed when the nerve of the tooth becomes infected or the pulp becomes damaged. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
60) What is root canal therapy?
Root canal therapy is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected.
61) What are the alternatives of root canal?
The only alternative to a root canal procedure is having the tooth extracted. The tooth would then be replaced with a bridge, implant, or removable partial denture to restore chewing function and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. These alternatives not only are more expensive than a root canal procedure but require more treatment time and additional procedures to adjacent teeth and supporting tissues.
62) Explain the complications of a root canal?
–> More than the normally anticipated number of root canals in a tooth (leaving one of them uncleaned)
–> An undetected crack in the root of a tooth
–> A defective or inadequate dental restoration that has allowed bacteria to get past the restoration into the inner aspects of the tooth and recontaminate the area
–> A breakdown of the inner sealing material over time, allowing bacteria to recontaminate the inner aspects of the tooth
63) Tell me the signs which indicate that root canal therapy is needed?
–> Severe toothache pain upon chewing or application of pressure
–> Prolonged sensitivity (pain) to hot or cold temperatures (after the heat or cold has been removed)
–> Discoloration (darkening) of the tooth
–> Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums
–> A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums
64) Tell me what damages a tooth's nerve and pulp in the first place?
A tooth's nerve and pulp can become irritated, inflamed, and infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on a tooth, large fillings, a crack or chip in the tooth, or trauma to the face.
65) Tell me why does the pulp need to be removed?
When nerve tissue or pulp is damaged, it breaks down, and bacteria begin to multiply within the pulp chamber. The bacteria and other decayed debris can cause an infection or abscessed tooth. An abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms at the end of a tooth's root. In addition to an abscess, an infection in the root canal of a tooth can cause:
–> Swelling that may spread to other areas of the face, neck, or head
–> Bone loss around the tip of the root
–> Drainage problems extending outward from the root. A hole can occur through the side of the tooth, with drainage into the gums or through the cheek into the skin.
66) What is dental pulp?
The pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area within the center of the tooth. The tooth's nerve lies within root canals, which lie within the roots or "legs" of the tooth. The root canals travel from the tip of the tooth's root into the pulp chamber, which also contains blood vessels and connective tissue that nourish the tooth.
A tooth's nerve is not vitally important to a tooth's health and function after the tooth has emerged through the gums. Its only function is sensory to provide the sensation of heat or cold. The presence or absence of a nerve will not affect the day-to-day functioning of the tooth.
67) Can grills cause problems?
Experts don't know yet if this fashion statement is bad for your teeth. But bonding a decorative metal cover to the teeth with glue not meant for use in your mouth can do damage. And a grill made from less expensive metal than gold or silver could irritate your mouth. Always remove a grill before you eat, and make sure you keep it, and your teeth, clean.
68) What is the mean of "no room to floss"?
No matter how tight the fit, there should always be room for floss between your teeth. If not, you may need to switch to a thinner floss or a waxed one. You can also try a different kind of tool, such as a looped flosser or a dental pick. Experiment until you find a product that works for you, and then use it every day. Flossing is a must for good dental health.
69) What is wisdom teeth problems?
If your dentist says your wisdom teeth, or third molars, came in problem-free, count yourself lucky. Most people 90% have at least one wisdom tooth that's impacted, or not able to fully grow in. Problems with your wisdom teeth can cause cavities, damage to neighboring teeth, and gum disease. Wisdom teeth generally come in between the ages of 17 and 25. Your dentist should track their progress. If they become a problem, you may need to get them removed.
70) How to clenching or grinding your teeth?
Grinding your teeth is called bruxism. Stress is one of the causes. Misaligned teeth or sleep issues can also be culprits among adults. (Among kids, causes can include allergies.) Bruxism can give you headaches, a sore jaw, and cracked or loose teeth. If you grind your teeth at night, ask your dentist to fit you with a mouth guard. If it's a daytime problem, try meditation, exercise, or other ways to curb stress.
71) What is gum problem?
You might be in the early stages of gum disease (gingivitis) or in the more advanced stage (periodontists). A buildup of plaque, a sticky bacteria, below the gum line causes it. Left untreated, periodontists can cause bone loss, and your teeth might shift or become loose. That can make it harder to chew and even speak. To avoid gum disease, brush and floss daily, and see your dentist for regular cleanings.
72) What is gap between Teeth?
You may not consider a gap between the front teeth a problem at all. Famous people who sport the look include singer Madonna, model Lauren Hutton, and football player turned TV co-host. If you want to correct it, though, your options include orthodontics to move teeth closer together and cosmetic solutions like veneers or bonding.
73) What is crooked teeth?
The fix orthodontia isn't just for kids. And straightening crooked teeth and aligning your bite doesn't just make for a prettier smile. It can be an key part of improving overall dental health, relieving symptoms like jaw pain. Orthodontists may use braces (metal or trays), aligners, and retainers.
74) What is hyperdontia?
You had 20 primary, or "baby," teeth, and you now have 32 adult teeth. It's rare, but some people have extra teeth, which is called hyperdontia. People who have it usually also have another condition, such as a cleft palate or Gardner's Syndrome (which forms tumors that aren't cancer). The treatment is to get the extra teeth removed and use orthodontics to correct the bite.
75) What is sensitive to cold?
Ice cream should taste good, not make you wince when the cold hits your teeth. The first step is to find the cause. It could be cavities, worn tooth enamel or fillings, gum disease, fractured teeth, or exposed roots. Once your dentist figures out the problem, you might need a filling, a root canal, or treatment of your gums to replace tissue lost at the root. Or you might just need a desensitizing toothpaste or strip, or a fluoride gel.
76) What is cracked tooth?
You were playing football without a mouth guard, or chewing, or maybe you don't know how it happened, but now you've got a cracked molar. Can your dentist save the tooth? It depends. If the crack is just on the surface, a filling may do the trick. But if the tooth is sensitive to hot and cold, the problem is more complex. Try to chew on the other side until you see your dentist. If the crack is above the gum line, you may need a root canal and a crown. A deeper crack means the tooth must be pulled though.
77) What is impacted teeth?
An adult tooth that doesn't come in properly is "impacted." It usually happens when a tooth is stuck against another tooth, bone, or soft tissue. If it isn't bothering you, a dentist may recommend leaving it alone. But if it hurts or may cause problems later on, an oral surgeon can remove it.
78) What is the mean of chipped tooth?
It's a type of dental injury. An accident can cause a chip. So can something much less dramatic, like chomping popcorn. The fix depends on whether the pulp, or part of the tooth that contains blood vessels and nerves, is damaged. If it's not, your dentist will bond a strong resin material to the tooth, replacing the chipped area. If the pulp is at risk, you may need a root canal followed by a veneer or crown.
79) What is Cavities?
These little holes in your teeth are bad news. You get them when a sticky bacteria, called plaque, builds up on your teeth, slowly destroying the hard outer shell, called enamel. Adults can also have problems with tooth decay at the gum line and around the edges of earlier fillings. To prevent it, brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, limit snacks, floss daily, and keep up with your dental appointments. Ask your dentist if you should use a sealant or a fluoride rinse.
80) What are stained teeth?
The right approach will remove many stains. Foods, medications, tobacco, and trauma are some of the things that can discolor your teeth. You have three options for whitening them. Your dentist can use a whitening agent and a special light in his office. Or you can bleach them at home with a plastic tray and gel from your dentist or a store. The simplest choice, whitening toothpaste, only removes surface stains.
81) What is tooth sensitivity?
When one or more teeth become sensitive to hot or cold, it may mean the dentin is exposed.
82) What is bruxism?
Bruxism also called Teeth grinding Stress. Anxiety, or sleep disorders can cause teeth grinding, usually during sleep. A dull headache or sore jaw are symptoms.
83) What is underbite?
The lower teeth protrude significantly past the upper teeth.
84) What is overbite?
The upper teeth protrude significantly over the lower teeth.
85) What is tartar?
If plaque is not removed, it mixes with minerals to become tartar, a harder substance. Tartar requires professional cleaning for removal.
86) What is plaque?
A sticky, colorless film made of bacteria and the substances they secrete. Plaque develops quickly on teeth after eating sugary food, but can be easily brushed off.
87) What is gingivitis?
Inflammation of the surface portion of the gums, around and between the crowns of the teeth. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gingivitis.
88) What is periodontitis?
Inflammation of the deeper structures of the teeth (periodontal ligament, jawbone, and cementum). Poor oral hygiene is usually to blame.
89) What is tooth decay?
A general name for disease of the teeth, including cavities and caries.
90) What are Cavities?
Bacteria evade removal by brushing and saliva and damage the enamel and deeper structures of teeth. Most cavities occur on molars and premolars.
91) What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth or third molars 4 in total. These teeth erupt at around age 18, but are often surgically removed to prevent displacement of other teeth.
92) What are Molars?
Molars are 8 in total. Flat teeth in the rear of the mouth, best at grinding food.
93) What are Premolars?
Premolars are 8 in total. Teeth between the canines and molars.
94) What are Canines?
Canines are 4 in total. The pointed teeth just outside the incisors.
95) What is Incisors?
Incisors are 8 in total. The middlemost four teeth on the upper and lower jaws.
96) How many teethes normal adult mouth has?
A normal adult mouth has 32 teeth, which (except for wisdom teeth) have erupted by about age 13.
97) What is periodontal ligament?
Tissue that helps hold the teeth tightly against the jaw.
98) What is cementum?
A layer of connective tissue that binds the roots of the teeth firmly to the gums and jawbone.
99) What is pulp?
The softer, living inner structure of teeth. Blood vessels and nerves run through the pulp of the teeth.
100) What is dentin?
A layer underlying the enamel. Dentin is made of living cells, which secrete a hard mineral substance.
101) What is Enamel?
The hardest, white outer part of the tooth. Enamel is mostly made of calcium phosphate, a rock-hard mineral.
102) How do I know which toothpastes choose to use?
Choose the toothpaste that tastes and feels best. Gel or paste, wintergreen or spearmint all work alike. If you find that certain ingredients are irritating to your teeth, cheeks or lips, or if your teeth have become more sensitive, or if your mouth is irritated after brushing, try changing toothpastes.
Considering other properties of toothpaste such as whitening toothpastes, tartar-control, gum care, desensitizing, etc.
103) Suppose if patient have dentophobia (a terrible fear of going to the dentist) what should patient do?
There are a number of strategies that can be used to help reduce fear, anxiety, and pain. These strategies include use of medications (to either numb the treatment area or sedatives or anesthesia to help you relax), use of lasers instead of the traditional drill for removing decay, application of a variety of mind/body pain and anxiety-reducing techniques (such as guided imagery, biofeedback, deep breathing, acupuncture, and other mental health therapies), and perhaps even visits to a dentophobia clinic or a support group.
104) What is Recontouring?
Recontouring or reshaping of the teeth (also called odontoplasty, enameloplasty, stripping, or slenderizing) is a procedure in which small amounts of tooth enamel are removed to change a tooth's length, shape or surface.
105) What is Veneers?
Veneers (also sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth.
106) What is dental crowns?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped "caps" that are placed over teeth. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.
107) What is dental bonding?
Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied to the tooth surface and hardened with a special light, which ultimately "bonds" the material to the tooth.
108) What options are available to changing the shape of my teeth?
Several different options are available to change the shape of teeth, make teeth look longer, close spaces between teeth or repair chipped or cracked teeth. Among the options are bonding, crowns, veneers, and re-contouring.
109) How effective whitening toothpastes are?
None of the home use whitening toothpastes can come even close to producing the bleaching effect you get from your dentist's office through chair-side bleaching or power bleaching. Whitening toothpastes can lighten your tooth's color by about one shade. In contrast, light-activated whitening conducted in your dentist's office can make your teeth three to eight shades lighter.
110) How whitening toothpastes work?
All toothpastes help remove surface stains through the action of mild abrasives. Some whitening toothpastes contain gentle polishing or chemical agents that provide additional stain removal. Whitening toothpastes can help remove surface stains only and do not contain bleach; over-the-counter and professional whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide (a bleaching substance) that helps remove stains on the tooth surface as well as stains deep in the tooth.
111) Tell me the latest word on the safety of amalgam-type fillings?
Over the past several years, concerns have been raised about silver-colored fillings, otherwise called amalgams. Because amalgams contain the toxic substance mercury, some people think that they are responsible for causing a number of diseases, including autism, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis.
112) How air abrasion works?
The air abrasion instrument works like a mini sandblaster to spray away the decay, stain, or to prepare the tooth surface for bonding or sealant application. With air abrasion, a fine stream of particles is aimed at the tooth surface. These particles are made of silica, aluminum oxide, or a baking soda mixture and are propelled toward the tooth surface by compressed air or a gas that runs through the dental hand-piece. Small particles of decay, stain, etc., on the tooth surface are removed as the stream of particles strikes them. The remnant particles are then "suctioned" away.
113) Where air abrasion is used?
Air abrasion can be used to remove some tooth decay, to remove some old composite restorations, to prepare a tooth surface for bonding or sealants, and to remove superficial stains and discolorations.
114) What is drill-less dentistry?
Drill-less dentistry, also called air abrasion and micro-abrasion, is being offered by some dentists.
115) how long do sealants can protect the teeth?
Sealants can protect the teeth from decay for many years, but they need to be checked for chipping or wear at regular dental check-ups.
116) Is dental X-rays are safe?
Exposure to all sources of radiation including the sun, minerals in the soil, appliances in your home, and dental X-rays — can damage the body's tissues and cells and lead to the development of cancer. Fortunately, the dose of radiation you are exposed to during the taking of X-rays is extremely small.
Advances in dentistry over the years have lead to the low radiation levels emitted by dental X-rays. Some of the improvements are new digital X-ray machines that limit the radiation beam to the small area being X-rayed, higher speed X-ray films that require shorter exposure time compared with older film speeds to get the same results, and the use of film holders that keep the film in place in the mouth (which prevents the film from slipping and the need for repeat X-rays and additional radiation exposure). Also, the use of lead-lined, full-body aprons protects the body from stray radiation (though this is almost nonexistent with the modern dental X-ray machines.) In addition, federal law requires that X-ray machines be checked for accuracy and safety every two years, with some states requiring more frequent checks.
117) Who should get dental sealants?
Typically, children should get sealants on their permanent molars and premolars as soon as these teeth come in. In this way, the dental sealants can protect the teeth through the cavity-prone years of ages 6 to 14. However, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
118) Explain about dental sealants?
Sealants are a thin, plastic coating that is painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth usually the back teeth (the premolars, and molars) to prevent tooth decay. The painted on liquid sealant quickly bonds into the depressions and groves of the teeth, forming a protective shield over the enamel of each tooth.

It is an unforgivable travesty. German authorities knew full well that Muslim migrants were preying on young girls at public swimming pools as early as 2013, yet not only did they do nothing to stop it, they allowed even more migrants entry after 2013.
A cartoon "etiquette guide" published by the Independent was allegedly created to teach migrants using public swimming pools in Germany how to restrain themselves and not molest young girls:
The images, showing a red cross over a hand reaching out to touch a woman in a bathing costume, have been circulating on social media and featured prominently in German media reports.
It came amid very real reports that local officials in the small town of Bornheim near Cologne had banned refugees from using a public pool, citing recent reports of sexual harassment and "chatting up". The pool re-opened later after the measure was widely condemned.
But the cartoons themselves are at least two years old, and feature a broad range of guidelines for swimming pool use including messages of tolerance.
Rather than being produced in response to the spate of sex attacks on women on New Year's Eve in Cologne, a Munich city spokeswoman told the DPA news agency the leaflets have been around since 2013, amid general concerns about anti-social behaviour across its 18 public pools.
"The ground rule of respect for women – whatever clothing they're wearing – is unfortunately not respected by all our swimmers. That's why there is an explicit indication about it," the spokeswoman said.
Clearly, German authorities led by Chancellor Angela Merkel seem nonplussed as roughly one million migrants have still been allowed entry and now call Germany home.

Come 21 February, Disneyland and Walt Disney World are set to inaugurate the untitled Star Wars land at a glittering ceremony that will be telecast live on ABC network. During the live show, Harrison Ford (Han Solo) will unveil the exclusive preview of the Star Wars-themed lands.
The special broadcast titled The Wonderful World Of Disney: Disneyland 60 will be hosted by two-time Emmy Award winner, Derek Hough. The Force Awakens star will host the Star Wars Land portion of the special event.
In a press statement, the theme park announced that the show will be broadcast live from the Dolby Theater, Hollywood featuring some major performances from the iconic locations throughout the Disneyland Resort.
British singing legend Sir Elton John will perform Wonderful Crazy Night, from his upcoming album along with the Oscar-nominated song Circle Of Life in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. American orchestra Los Angeles Philharmonic will perform The Sorcerer's Apprentice, the iconic musical sequence from Fantasia.
Celebrating the 60-year legacy of the Disneyland theme park, the Diamond Anniversary event will also feature performances by Josh Gad and Witney Carson.
The Star Wars attractions, the names of which are yet to be declared by Disney, will be inhabited by the characters and creatures of the blockbuster space odyssey franchise and will include humanoids, aliens, and droids roaming around the mysterious man-made space land.
"Every store and restaurant will be operated by local inhabitants, making each experience deeply immersive. Nothing in the land will be out of character or stray from mythology. By the way, we're currently casting for roles, so if you live on the Outer Rim there maybe a job for you," Disney chairman and CEO Robert Iger told EW.
Previously, Making Star Wars reported some leaks and claimed that the theme park will have a "real, life size Falcon", and some characters and creatures from Star Wars: Episode VIII.
The Wonderful World Of Disney: Disneyland 60 will air on 21 February at 8|7c on ABC Network.

text: Red Hot Land February 6, 2011 04:42 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jeanne Bernick Top Producer Editor Email The farmer anxiety was palpable inside the City Limits Convention Center in Colby, Kan., where 15,500 acres was up for auction. The farmland—suitable for corn, wheat, milo, soybeans and sunflowers — was offered as a multiparcel auction of 50 individual tracts that could be combined to produce the highest aggregate bid. Once the bidding started, it quickly ratcheted up to combinations of units totaling more than $15 million. The land eventually sold to an investment group from Connecticut for more than $20 million, or $1,356 per acre, making it one of the largest amounts of crop acres ever auctioned at one time. Local grain producer Lon Frahm got a bid in the combinations before quickly being shut out. "I'm used to being the big guy, and now I'm being pushed around by the bigger guys," says Frahm, who farms 20,000 acres. He says the land market is simply crazy right now. "We've had dryland sell for $2,200 at auction that would have gone for only $800 an acre five years ago. It's unbelievable," he says. Linda Niebur with real estate broker Mason & Morse Ranch Co. in nearby Burlington, Colo., says demand is excellent for quality farmland. Her company sells land to a lot of outside investors and people taking their money out of the stock market because they're looking for safer investments. Extreme Prices Hit Corn Belt. In the Corn Belt, strong crop returns, low interest rates and a growing expectation that both might continue is setting the farmland market on fire, says Mike Boehlje, Purdue University ag economist. He's recently seen prices for Indiana farmland exceed $10,000 an acre in some extreme cases. Between 2000 and 2010, the average price per acre of mediocre Indiana farmland—land capable of producing an average corn yield of 155 bu.—rose from about $2,300 to slightly more than $4,400 this past June, Boehlje says. "Many of the land sales in the Midwest are to farmers, rather than outside investors, so it's farmers bidding against farmers," he says. In Iowa, the average value of an acre of farmland increased 15.9% in 2010, according to an annual survey conducted by Iowa State University Extension. Economist Mike Duffy says the statewide average land value as of Nov. 1, 2010, was $5,064 an acre, up $693 per acre from the previous year. The survey shows a substantial increase in land values following a drop in 2009. "We need to watch the land values and be prudent, but I don't think we need to be overly pessimistic there will be a crash in values anytime soon," Duffy says. "The rate of increase in 2010 appears high, but it is half the yearly increases in 1973, 1974 and 1975." Global Demand Ups Land Value. Global demand for grain, brought on by higher world incomes and the increased use of crops for biofuels, is playing a major role in farmland values as high crop prices increase returns, says Purdue University ag economist Chris Hurt. Two huge growth markets have been corn for ethanol and soybeanexports to China, Hurt says. In 2005, those markets required 16 million acres of production. By 2010 it took 41 million acres to meet those market demands, he says. "That's a startling 25 million-acre increase in the demand for land," Hurt says. "It represents about 10% of the U.S. crop base planted to major crops and is one of the primary contributors to surging land values on the demand side." Crop prices also are getting an indirect boost from Federal Reserve monetary policy. Hurt says the second round of the Fed's buying of Treasury securities through quantitative easing is conducive to creating inflation. "The act of creating more money tends to depress the value of the dollar. That generally results in stronger commodity prices, which would then push up returns to farmland and be an added stimulant to land values," he says. Cash Rent Equation. Between 1990 and 2010, cash-rent levels per acre have increased by about 70% and crop revenues for grain operations have more than doubled, largely because of ag commodity and energy prices. "Significant increases in commodity futures prices throughout this past fall as well as land-rate rents suggest that expectations are for cash rents to continue to increase, at least for the short term," says Nick Paulson, University of Illinois ag economist. Since 1990, the average cash rent in Illinois has increased by about 70% from $100 per acre to $169 per acre in 2010, according to USDA's Agricultural Land Values and Cash Rents Annual Summary. Increasing cash-rent levels are a concern for farmers in Illinois and throughout the Corn Belt. Crop budgets tracked by the University of Illinois show land costs have represented 30% to 35% of total production costs for Illinois grain operations during the past six years. Despite consistent upward trends in cash-rent levels, this actually represents a decline in similar measures from the early 1990s. What's interesting to Paulson is who assumes more risk. In the past decade there has been a shift away from share-rental agreements to cash-rent arrangements in Illinois. "Under a typical share-rental agreement, the farmer and the landowner share crop revenues, production costs, and the risk associated with production, input and commodity prices," he explains. "Under a cash-rent agreement, the farmer bears all production and price risk. "While economic theory would suggest that farmers should earn a premium for taking on additional risk, lower farm returns have been linked to Illinois farms in which cash rent is a significant portion of their total acreage," Paulson adds. The average proportion of total acres that are operated under a share-rent agreement has fallen from about 48% in 1997 to 37% in 2009. During the same time period, the proportion of total acres operated under cash-rent agreements has increased from a little more than 25% to approximately 40%, while ownership rates among grain farm operators have declined slightly from 25% to 23%. Crop Insurance Factor. Paulson says these trends have significant implications for farm profitability and the risk exposures facing both the producer and the landowner. He links the risk-takers to greater availability and breadth of crop insurance programs. "The increased use and effectiveness of crop insurance as a risk management tool could be one justification for producers taking on additional risk through cash-rent agreements," he says. "Cash-rent agreements relieve the landowner of many difficult decisions, including crop marketing and the timing of input purchases. Under a cash-rent agreement, the landowner can rely on the farmer to understand and manage the tasks associated with Federal commodity programs." Cash-rent levels exhibit a benchmarking effect based on the previous crop year, which tends to slow rental rate adjustments. Operators with bigger farms tend to pay higher cash rents. "While this implies economies of scale, the difference in average cash-rent levels reported by small and large grain operations is relatively small," Paulson says. Looking ahead at the next several months, land values should continue to remain strong, Duffy predicts. Beyond that, though, there is a fairly high degree of uncertainty about whether land values can maintain their current levels. Back to news

My husband�s aunt and uncle from Florida have always been so much fun to be around, and they really know how to throw a party. For years Macon and Geraldine entertained, and when their daughter and son-in-law bought a home in the mountains, they would spend the summers there.
Every summer, we knew there would be a Labor Day party at their mountain home. There was always a crowd of people they had met in the Waynesville area, friends they had known for years and of course we were there.
Macon loved to cook, and there was always a bounty of food set out and any kind of drink anyone wanted, both alcohol and non-alcohol.
One particular year, they wanted to introduce us to something new they had found. The name of the drink was �Hot Sex.� Now, before you jump to conclusions, this is not a sexy story, just one about this particular drink.
Geri called my husband and said the only place she knew where this liqueur could be found was at Frugal MacDougal in Rock Hill, S.C.
My husband drove there on his lunch hour one day and before he got out of the car, he thought to himself, �How am I going to do this? No matter what I say it�s going to sound wrong. I could say, �Do you sell Hot Sex?� or �I�m looking for Hot Sex.��
He got up his nerve and entered the store and someone asked him if they could help him. He felt his face turn red and said, �My aunt asked me to find a liqueur called Hot Sex, and I don�t know where to find it.� The clerk showed him where it was and he paid for the liqueur it and drove back to work.
When he got home from work, he was still laughing about this unusual errand.
Leave it to Macon and Geraldine to ask Bobby to do something like this.
Lincolnton resident Paulette Ballard writes about the stories people tell her and sometime shares a story from her own life.

Innit is dying...
Featured Posts
Nath made an interesting discovery about innit and I must say that I have taken advantage of the fact that the featured posts are refreshed at 00:00am every day. But I'm unable to do that now due to the fact that I'm 3 hours ahead. I have to wait up till 3am to nang myself to the featured posts. No way in hell am I doing that. My suggestion to Nuffnang: The system is faulty in the sense that if I add a new post at 11:59pm, my post would only be eligible to be in the featured posts for one minute. Instead of featured posts of the day, showcase featured posts in the past 24 hours!
Quantity over Quality
Another thing is - if you haven't realize already - the quantity of posts that people make to attract traffic. If one isn't working, post two, if either of the two posts aren't attracting anyone, post three! One of those posts is bound to be interesting enough so that people would start visiting your blog. No. Stop doing it. Doing so will only result in people never visiting your blog again because there is no real content. Unless of course, you are like Perez Hilton, and you have fresh and new things to post with real content.
Copy and Paste
I don't know how many times I've clicked on 'movie review of xxx!!!' and get so disappointed because noob/lazy bloggers copy and paste from IMDB. What a disgrace to bloggers! You are a blogger, so at least write a paragraph or two! I believed I may even have danged the damn post. You wasted my time and my precious 10GB internet, every MB counts!!!
Misleading Titles
People tend to title their posts scandalously or in a way they think is interesting and would attract people to visit their blog. Sure, it'll attract people once. It's similar to 'Quantity over Quality'. When you cheat someone of their money (time), you'll be sure that they never buy (visit) from you again.

'Innit is dying...' is not a misleading title, then? ;)ReplyDelete
innit is not dying, it's just... flooded with posts that lack quality ;)ReplyDelete
I can't even log in to innit and the support staff hasn't been able to help me out. :(:(ReplyDeleteReplies
i faced the same problem once due to my membership status not being glitterati. maybe you should contact them again using the same ticket you created previously? just log on to http://www.nuffnang.com.my/help/ and click find ticket! hope i helped! xoDelete
Wua, thanks for promoting my post. Actually 4 years ago it used to be past 24 hours but Nuffnang made some changes. You can always suggest to them but I'm not sure it will be done easily unless voiced out by a large number of bloggers.ReplyDelete
Don't blame me for having 2-3 posts a day, I got 2-3 various blogs so >.<
P/S: Hopefully my post about hating BITCHES is not misleading =XReplies

Call for deposit scheme to cut roadside litter
INCREASED roadside litter around the south-west has renewed calls for a South Australian-style 10-cent reimbursement for empty cans and bottles.
Victoria had a temporary contained deposit system in the early 1970s but a state-based scheme has failed to gain support during the past few decades, most notably a knock-back by the Brumby government five years ago.
Camperdown resident Di Daffy said a 10 cent refund would make litterbugs think twice about tossing rubbish indiscriminately around road reserves and public spaces.
"It's extraordinary the amount of rubbish that's thrown around; beer bottles, soft drink cans, takeaway food papers," Mrs Daffy said.
"I'm always picking up rubbish around where I live and you wouldn't believe the amount of litter you find lying around.
"The 10-cent scheme would encourage people to hold onto their rubbish and provide an incentive for people who do the right thing and pick up litter."
In a letter to the editor in today's edition of The Standard, Mrs Daffy calls for the South Australian scheme to be adopted in Victoria.
"When you travel across the border, you really notice the difference in South Australia — there's hardly a bottle or can lying around," she said. "Of course, you can't stop it but the 10-cent idea is pretty effective."
South Australia introduced the beverage container levy in 1977 with a five-cent refund, which was raised to 10 cents per container six years ago.
The Northern Territory has a similar scheme which has been operating for two years but was temporarily threatened by a Federal Court challenge from soft drink manufacturers.
Warrnambool environmentalist Lisa Owen said successive Victorian governments had equivocated about introducing a similar system.
"It would have a huge impact," she said. "Ask anyone in South Australia and they'll tell you the roadsides are cleaner, the rivers and lakes have far less litter. Plus school groups and charities can make some money on the side through collection days, which is a win-win situation."
Discuss "Call for deposit scheme to cut roadside litter"

Browser will block third-party software from mucking around with pages next year.
By mid-2018 Google Chrome will no longer allow outside applications – cough, cough, antivirus packages – to run code within the browser on Windows.
"In the past, this software needed to inject code in Chrome in order to function properly; unfortunately, users with software that injects code into Windows Chrome are 15 per cent more likely to experience crashes."
In particular, the target here seems to be poorly coded AV tools can not only crash the browser or cause slowdowns, but also introduce security vulnerabilities of their own for hackers to exploit.
Rather than accept injected code, Chrome will require applications to use either Native Messaging API calls or Chrome extensions to add functionality to the browser. Google believes both methods can be used to retain features without having to risk browser crashes. With Chrome 68, the browser will block third-party code in all cases except when the blocking itself would cause a crash. In that case, Chrome will reload, allow the code to run, and then give the user a warning that the third-party software will need to be removed for Chrome to run properly. The warning will be removed and nearly all code injection will be disabled in January of 2019.
"While most software that injects code into Chrome will be affected by these changes, there are some exceptions," said Hamilton.
"Microsoft-signed code, accessibility software, and IME software will not be affected."

Indiegogo Project from Gary on Vimeo.
Sorry We Have Moved!!
Sorry for the inconvenience!!! We have moved this page to Indiegogo, because we have now officially launhed our crowd funding campaign. Please take the time to check us out on Indiegog at: Shape Me on Indiegogo!
What if members and partners could get the full Shape Me experince at their own studio? Right in their living rooms on their television in HD? On their Computers? On their Mobile Devices? Anywhere - Anytime Live and On-demand!! What if they could become part of an online community? With Shape Me Online they could come together virtually and support one another? Together, this can Revolutionize our Commitment to Health and Fitness!
What is Crowd Funding??
In 2012, President Barack Obama signed the JOBS (Jumpstart Our Business Startups) Act, legislation that effectively lifted a previous ban against public solicitation for private companies raising funds. Rules are expected to be set by the SEC. Currently, the JOBS Act allows the emergence of Crowd Funding sites that small business are using to raise in kind or advance sales of subscriptions to products and services. Because of this event these sites called Crowd Funding sites or platforms have emerged. Crowd funding platforms serve as a intermediary. They create the necessary interchange between the small business and potential supporters. For more information about Crowd Funding reference the article on Wikipedia:
How we are going to Do It!!
To implement this project, Shape Me has begun prototyping all aspects of this service through the leverage and support of Netbriefings, Inc. which reduces project costs significantly. However, in order to completely finish the installations, Shape Me is seeking additional capital and expertise to invest in necessary items specific installation process not available through Netbriefings. That is why Shape Me is planning to launch a Indiegogo project to help raise the funding necessary. Indiegogo is a Crowd Funding site that helps small business get the capital to accomplish things they could not otherwise accomplish on their own. For more about Indiegog Click Here

The Florida Forest Service is investigating two fires in wooded areas of South Walton County, according to the South Walton Fire District.
The Florida Forest Service is investigating two fires in wooded areas of South Walton County, according to the South Walton Fire District.
Although it's been wet lately, the weather itself created conditions ripe for wildfires, said Bruce Smith, Florida Forest Service Area Supervisor of Walton County.
" There's water on the ground - but there's dry fuel above that that burns," Smith said. "With the humidity and winds it was a mix for disaster."
Crews responded to a 10- to 15-acre fire near Mussett Bayou Road in Santa Rosa Beach about 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
A unified attack by South Walton firefighters and forest service crews kept the fire from a more heavily populated area or U.S. Highway 98, Smith said.
"We can't do it without those guys and they can't do it without us," Smith said.
Crews stayed in the area until about 10 p.m.
"We got a bite to eat, went home, got a shower, and at about 3:30, 3:45 in the morning, the phone calls started," Smith said.
Just after 3 a.m. Friday, a second fire was reported near Nuit Road in Santa Rosa Beach, the Fire District said. The �fast-moving� fire threatened several structures and damaged a vacant home, according to the Fire District. About 10 acres were burned.
Some residents in the area were evacuated, Smith said.
Firefighters from Destin, Freeport, Walton County Fire Rescue and the Forest Service and the Walton County Sheriff�s Office worked to extinguishing the blazes.
Dry conditions with low humidity and high winds will continue through the weekend. Residents are asked to refrain from open burning.

Undergraduate Studies in English
Our Honours and BA programs are so designed that you can explore English literature and Cultural Studies in greater depth and detail as you progress from level to level, and, in most cases, in progressively smaller classes. We offer a range of courses at Level 1, all of which will help you to become a better writer and will teach you the conventions of writing literary and cultural criticism. English 1A03 (Literature in English: Shorter Genres) and 1AA3 (Literature in English: Longer Genres) provide an introduction to the major literary forms and to some significant approaches to interpretation, while English 1C06 (A History of English Literature) offers a survey of English literature from its origins to the present. English 1B03 (Cultural Studies and Visual Culture) and 1BB3 (Cultural Studies: History, Theory, Practice) will introduce you to the contemporary discipline of Cultural Studies.
Our Level II and III courses foster a broad understanding of major movements and ideas in Cultural Studies and English literary history. Some of these courses offer focussed investigations of particular authors, periods, or national literatures–of Shakespeare, for example, or Canadian literature–while others explore such genres as the novel or investigate the nature of modern countercultures or gender theory.
At Level IV, our Honours students take true seminars, in each of which a group of students works closely with a faculty member. These seminars, designed to encourage in-depth study and open dialogue, distinguish our Honours programs from most other programs at McMaster and from English programs at many other universities. A wide selection of seminars is offered every year. Recent topics have included Women as Public Intellectuals, Canadian Short Stories, The Witchcraft Controversy, European Romanticism, and The "Oprah Effect".

Not everyone believes in sharing their bed with their dogs and I can respect that. I sure didn't take stock in it in the beginning but soon the cuteness and love from my first GSP Cleo wore me down like a river rock. Before I knew it she had wormed her way into my sheets and now I couldn't fathom not sharing my space with a big warm sack of spots. However all those warm snuggles come at a cost and here are few that plague our sleeping arrangements with Sage Monkey.
Uninvited Friends
The thing pictured above was once a plush and vibrant moose, stuffed like a sausage with fluffy white material, squeekers and rattles in its feet. After its initial partial destuffing and slightly violent removal of squeekers it has since metamorphosed into a crusty, spit soaked, dirty shell of dog love. We call this crusted mess "wooby" and it goes everywhere Sage goes. She does laps around the tent with it hanging from her mouth while camping. She balls it up every night and nurses it until she passes out with it in her mouth. She leaves it sleeping on my pillow like it pays the electric bill.
Thats ok. I wasn't in the middle of an ab workout or anything.
Limited Personal Space
GSP's are appropriately known as velcro dogs. I prefer to refer to them as space hoarders. Never heard of a Space hoarder before? "Space Hoarding" is the craft of excessively collecting all the available area not only from your personal surroundings but all others around you as well. Space Hoarding is also known as Space Hogging, Compulisive Space Taker Upper Disorder and or otherwise more commonly known as Get-out-of-my-three-foot-bubble-you-jerk (Thats GOOMTFBYJ for short). Sage excels at this and works in it like some artists work in watercolor. And like most afflicted dogs she doesn't see it as a problem...AT ALL. Bed time often consists of her laying only in the space my physical being occupies. Or Sage will stand vigil over our heads waiting for the blankets to be lifted before burrowing down to our feet to settle in for the night. She leaves no room for compromise.
Our joke is that Sage wishes I was her Tauntaun. You know that funky reptomammal that is indigenous to that frozen wasteland planet known as Hoth from The Empire Strikes back? Sitting on my lap simply won't suffice....she needs to climb inside my soul.
Rough Snuggles
Rough Snuggles start innocent enough usually by Sage arming crawling around the bed as if she's being propelled by that little stub of a tail. She lays all over your face, groaning and sniffing in glee, angling herself into positions to lick whatever she can; your face your arms. Sadly this phase is unsustainable and it eventually evolves in what we refer to as "rough snuggles". Rough Snuggles are snuggles that spiral out of control and consist of excited paw prodding, point blank face sneezes, the occasional fang nip and in human screams and laughs. They carefully dance that line of fun and painful.
For instance have you ever seen an animal documentary where foxes in winter will leap into the air to break below the surface to get critters for a meal? The worst mistake to be made during rough snuggles is retreating to the presumed safety of under covers. Sage takes your retreating as a challenge and follows the example of the fox except in the morning when sleep is still tight in your eyes she feels more like a polar bear breaking through ice in a search of baby seals.
Bed time is never a dull time with a shorthair. Especially a 52 pound one that can magically metamorphis to such a size she can take up an entire king size bed. It will be interesting to see how this dynamic shifts and changes in the next few weeks as we bring home the new puppy. Who knows.....Maybe we will have two rough snugglers who want to make me their Tauntaun. Lucky me!

- Dropped off my brother and his wife at the airport. They are on a 10-day Southern caribbean cruise. That means the ~4000 sq.ft. house was all to ourselves. And the dog, too. And the big TV. And the huge comfy beds. And the fridge. And the fitness room. And the three full bathrooms. Etc...yeah...there is more... ;)
- Had Denny's for breakfast
- Drove around Seattle University, my alma mater, as well as U-Dub, a very large school with a huge CS building with Paul Allen's name on it.

- Went to Pike Place Market. We walked alllll over
- Had Papa Murphy's for dinner. They make the pizza up for you, wrap it, and you take it home to cook it yourself. Very delicious pizza, no wonder they won so many awards. ALMOST as good as Santarpio's. ;) We grabbed the Gourmet Chicken...mmmm it was soooooo yummy...I miss Papa Murphy's

Additional Notes
- Every morning we went through a Starbucks drive-through. Yes, drive-through Starbucks...where David would get a grande mild black (when I ordered it that way I usually got the question, "Would you like cream or sugar..."*roll eyes* umm...hello...black...) and I got a grande Caramel Apple Cider
- We went through Bigfoot Java a couple of times. It's a shack on the side of the road that sells coffee, espresso, smoothies, and other very tasty drinks (latte's and the like). It's drive-through only and usually has one or two baristas on duty at any given time. 24-7.
- We were almost at 60 hours in DragonQuest VIII. We mainly played when we were tied down to the house, i.e. had to walk the dog, it was very late, or we were working.
- There seems to be a huge Korean population around Seattle/Tacoma.
- Houses in Washington tend to be, on average, 400% larger than houses here, for half the price, and with all the modern conveniences.
- Cookie is a very adorable dog.
Cookie!! Look at that adorable face. :)
On another note...I will post about my Christmas later...

Gourmet Pawprints is a business started in 2013 that offers dog-friendly winery and vineyard tours around rural Victoria like Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley and Daylesford. The stops along the guided tours, which come in full or half day, are all dog-friendly and may include wine and cider tastings, morning tea, a walk along an off-lead beach, ball play and a gourmet lunch.
This is one of Australia most loved dog-friendly businesses and when talking exclusively to Gourmet Pawprints' owner, Kerry Watt, she says, the business came about after she did not want to leave her own four-legged friend at home."Dogs are part of your family, which means they go with you where you go. If people work full-time they want to be with their dogs on weekends." With Gourmet Pawprints, the best part is "getting to enjoy a fabulous outdoor lifestyle with people who love to spoil their pooches" and "meeting great people who love their dogs."
Watt says, "For a dog lover you are severely restricted in Australia where you can take your dog. In the US and Europe dogs are part of the fabric of society. They are in hotels, pubs, restaurants, trains and buses." For example, one of her biggest challenges was attempting to source a 50-seater bus: "I made about 50 calls to find companies that would accept dogs. They'll take blokes on bucks' parties but not so many take dogs," she says.
When asked if Australia should encourage more dog-friendly facilities, Watt says, "Yes with proper education about how to interact with dogs and an understanding of dog behaviour". And we totally agree! There is plenty of time for pooches to socialise and play on Gourmet Pawprints tours but Watt makes sure that there is no anti-social behaviour. All dogs on the tour must be desexed and vaccinated and of course, friendly and well-trained both on and off leash.

to spin yarn on a handspindle. I'm using one I made myself out of a dowel and toy wheel from Michaels and a cup hook from the hardware store.
The dark brown "yarn" at the top of the picture is about a half ounce of Blue Faced Leicester roving that was gifted to me by an internet friend. The yarn on the spindle is variegated Jacob roving purchased at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival last weekend (picture-laden post coming). I was at first drafting with my left hand and controlling the spindle with my right; after watching a couple of Youtube videos I decided to try switching hands and that has worked out better. My initial effort varied between worsted and super-bulky after I plied it back on itself; the Jacob is better but still inconsistent; it goes from heavy fingering to worsted. My goal is to get consistent fingering-weight singles.
And yes, I remember that I promised a rant about First Holy Communion and Prom. Next post, I promise.

It's a known fact that men can typically achieve orgasm easier than women. In fact, somewhere around 70% of women cannot orgasm from intercourse. Of course, there are those women who have no problem scaling the moan mountain to the climax and leaping off unscathed. (Go get 'em, girl!) But if you are one of the many for whom the struggle of the climb rarely ends in ecstasy, let's talk about a few ways you can get to the finish line with much more ease.
1. Turn off the internal radio feed
As women, our brains never stop going. We're stressing about that presentation to corporate next Friday, deciding what to cook for dinner, or thinking about Rachel talking about her amazing new vibrator at wine night last week. For most of us, even something that should be stress-relieving, such as having sex, doesn't even put an end to this. So, learn to turn it off. Take a couple deep breaths and focus on clearing your mind for foreplay, solo play, or sex.
2. Learn your body on your own time
Sex with a partner shouldn't be a stressful time when you're figuring out for the first time if you even like his finger there and his tongue over there. Take some time when no one is around to learn about you. Explore your lady parts and find out what feels good. Introduce yourself to a new toy and spend some quality time with you. Two wonderful things will happen: 1) orgasm and 2) orgasm. You can orgasm now while you're playing with yourself. Then you can orgasm much easier next time he comes around. Why? Because you'll be much more in tune with your goodies down there and now you can gently guide him on how to take you to PleasureTown.
3. Insecurities: Be-gone!
For the love of all things womanhood, get out of your own head, girl! When surveyed, over 90 percent of men replied that no, they literally NEVER pay attention to the chipping polish on your fingernails or that one ingrown hair that he would have to do a full body cavity search to actually find on you. He has his mind on much more important things like how to get you to the point where you are moaning and twitching. And hey, isn't that what you want, too? So, stop freaking out about the fact that you didn't thread your eyebrows before this sex sesh, and get into it. It literally makes NO difference to him, and you will reap the benefits.
4. One word: LUBE
For some reason, our generation has this misconception that you only use lube if you aren't able to produce enough of your own natural lubricant. WRONG. Even if you gush like a rain gutter, lube can still be introduced in the bedroom as an additional stimulant to get you revved. Lube is not just a moisture-provider. Depending on which lube you choose, you can enjoy benefits from different flavors for oral play, different textures and thickness for friction, to just enjoying a damn good slip-and-slide time! (Some are even engineered to give you tingles and added sensations, so that's awesome.) If you needed any more encouragement to try it, you should know that over 80 percent of users report more pleasure when they get lubed up and get going.
5. Turn your attention on your man candy
This may seem counter-intuitive, but spending some time on your man's sweet spots and seeing him getting all hot and bothered at your touch will inevitably turn you on. There is nothing hotter than knowing you're making him feel good. Bonus: when you turn your mind to pleasing your man, you'll forget to worry about your own insecurities and greatly increase your likelihood of hopping on that non-stop train to climax-ville. Choo-choo!
