Smokeless Tobacco Uses And Dental Health
In the United States in the last decade the sale of smokeless tobacco has been increasing unlike the declining market trends for cigarettes. As a reaction to smoking bans it has been found that smokeless tobacco is being marketed to use tobacco in smoke-free environments like restaurants, airplanes, and workplaces. Smokeless tobacco use is a risk factor for cancer of the oral tissues and pharynx, gum disease, gingivitis, cavities, bad breath, tooth loss, teeth stains and nicotine addiction. Smokeless tobacco has been associated with low-birth-weight infants and pancreatic cancer. Smokeless tobacco comes in many forms like chewing tobacco, snus or as moist snuff which is placed and held between the lower lip and gingiva and both these forms cause excess salivation which has to be spit out frequently. Other forms of smokeless
tobacco consist of dissolvable fine milled tobacco, combined with candy flavors, and look like pellets and these are also held between the gum and lower lip, some of them are available as films and are placed on the tongue where they dissolve.
Risk taking behaviors often are established early in life particularly during adolescence. Adolescents have reported being curious about new smokeless tobacco products. A study of snus sales indicated that under aged buyers were successful in their purchase attempts more easily than that of successful purchase of cigarettes. Although advertisements for tobacco products are required by law to include warnings in boldfaced type stating that all forms of tobacco can cause oral cancer, the message is diluted by means of glamorous advertisements, price discounts, flavorings, convenient packaging, and promotional allowances have been effective in generating sales. The use of smokeless tobacco as a harm reduction strategy or as an alternative to smoking is controversial because people may equate less harmful with safe. Smokeless tobacco use may lead to smoking and using other combustible tobacco products like electronic nicotine delivery systems, bidis, or cigars. Tobacco companies
invest millions of dollars to promote the use of smokeless tobacco and have tried to make products appear popular, glamorous, and trendy.
It is important to strengthen awareness for adolescent dental patients who are at risk of using smokeless tobacco and smoking.
Getting educated about this habit and being knowledgeable about associated behavioral factors like riding in a vehicle with someone who is drunk, using marijuana, smoking can help them to make better choices and to stay away from these habits. Parents should be aware that dentists have the opportunity to educate, intervene and provide tobacco use cessation programs in the normal course of providing dental care.

Interior Painting
Tips
Looking for a change at home? Then a fresh coat of paint may be just what you need. Painting a room can be fun, but it can also be intimidating. Here are some tips and ideas to make your next paint job a little easier.
Choosing Your Paint - Your local hardware store should be able to match a color if you have a sample of a favorite color or an item such as a drawer front. If you need to sample a color you already have, you can use a pocketknife to chip off a piece of the paint from a less visible area and patch it later.
If you are choosing a new color entirely, try to think about how that color makes you feel. When in doubt, choose a lighter shade. Bold colors can feel abrasive or overpowering when covering a large area. Paint a patch on the wall and let it sink in for a few days
Test It Out - Before you buy the paint,
see if you can get a sample jar. Sample jars are small containers of paint you can use to try out a color. Colors can look different in a room depending on lighting, texture, and paint type, so don’t skip this step.
Calculate Out How Much You Need -
The paint department usually can help guide you with the amount of paint you’ll need, or you can find a paint estimator online. To figure out how much paint you need, first you’ll need to figure out the square footage of the wall(s) you are going to paint. In my experie3nce I usually use just under a gallon for an average 10 x 10 bedroom and adjust for larger rooms. I do like to keep a supply on hand for touchups.
Be Prepared - Once you have your paint, you will likely need the following:
• Spackle and spatula for prepainting repairs
• Metal paint scraper to get rid of peeling paint before sanding
• Fine grit sandpaper to even out textures
• Soap and water for cleaning
• Painter’s tape to section off non-paintable areas
• Drop cloth to protect floors and furniture
• Sponge brushes with angles for corners
• Edgers
• Paint roller frames
• Roller covers
• Paint tray
• Gloves
Prep Your Space (and Your clothes)
- Put down the drop cloth and section off the non-paintable areas with your painter’s tape. Use gloves if you can, and make sure you are wearing paint-friendly clothes. You are almost certainly going to get messy.
Keep it Light and Enjoy! With the right materials, you are ready to go! Use light, even strokes in the same direction, and let the paint dry between coats. Keep a wet rag close to catch any drips or drops before they dry. If you are just doing touch-ups, don’t forget to feather out the edges with a sponge. If you need to take a quick break, wrap your rollers in plastic bags. This will keep the paint wet so you can easily pick up where you left off. Make sure to wash your tools with soap when you’re all done. The best place to do this is usually outside with the hose so you don’t make a mess.
