The Inquisitive Biologist

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Two second-hand copies of #PhysicalAnthropology books from Cambridge University Press: What #Teeth Reveal About Human #Evolution and Evaluating Evidence in Biological #Anthropology. Taschen had a sale on recently, so I bagged myself a copy of The Fantastic Worlds of #FrankFrazetta at less than half price

Admiral Memo

Question for dentists, or anyone who happens to know:

Why are we instructed to brush and THEN floss?

To me, it would make more sense to floss and then brush. You'd get out all the crap from between your teeth, and then it won't block the toothpaste from getting in there when you brush. Wouldn't toothpaste getting on more surfaces help?

Or is there something I'm missing? Or does it not matter which order?

DW took me on an emergency kibble run. Just in case.

DW had temporary crown fitted. This one is some better. Cement flashings trimmed. Feels much better. Tooth is live (not yet root canal) so was a bit tender. The bellowing has stopped. Just an occasional whimper. #greyhounds #dodgy #people #teeth #shopsrun

"This Ozark region is among hundreds of rural American communities that face a one-two punch to oral health: a dire shortage of dentists and a lack of fluoridated drinking water, which is widely viewed among dentists as one of the most effective tools to prevent tooth decay."

More work on the old chainsaws I inherited.

Jon the Red (a Jonsered CS 2152) got some teeth. "Bark support" the parts diagram calls these. Jon says he can bark just fine without support. Cranky old saw.

Perhaps old saws are like old humans, they lose their teeth and you have to spend money to buy new ones.

Also noticed some incontinence. Need to find my box of o-rings, the fuel cap is leaking.

Finally, a good cleanup with the air nozzle.

Estou pensando em um continuação para essa tira, com uma cabeça de alho indo ao dentista...

Mashed potato’s are life after not being able to eat all day after a tooth extraction. I am not looking forward to the next 3 wisdom teeth removals, but at least I know what to expect and prepare for. #mashedpotatoes #food #TeethExtraction #teeth #wisdomteeth #health

Life in your 50s: I have five dentist appointments in February. Fix broken implant, fix cracked tooth, fit new mouth gard. Without ten years of sleeping with a mouth guard, my molars would have been in even worse shape.
