Hopefully a lot has changed since then. I second Ms. Moon on recommending Amy Tan's books. They too are probably a bit dated.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.looking2live.com/" rel="nofollow">looking2live</a>Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724807799695867204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-14985013830693630962014-01-28T23:27:44.858+00:002014-01-28T23:27:44.858+00:00Same Love, Macklemore and Mary was so moving and a...Same Love, Macklemore and Mary was so moving and awesome, I actually got teary.

I've lost count of how many root canals I've had. and all that dental work over the years was accompanied by many many xrays. in my mid-40s I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. it is common in women but I attribute it to all those dental x-rays I received without adequate protection. the lead cape they drape you with doesn't always cover the thyroid. now when I get x-rays, I hold that thing up as close to my chin as I can get it.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-73519624309506803862014-01-28T14:14:30.546+00:002014-01-28T14:14:30.546+00:00That photo is fantastic.

I also notice that the photo is almost timeless. Except for a couple of pairs of athletic shoes, it could have been taken 50 to 80 years ago.

So many conditions and diseases are linked to bad teeth you would not believe. Plus they are right next to your brain!<br /><br />I think we Americans are over focused on teeth, many times to our detriment. I think some portion of TMJ problems have to do with too much dentistry. There is no science to substantiate that!<br /><br />Awesome picture!
