Toothaeke - «hy? by Kris Falzone Many high school students are entering the age when they may experience problems with wisdom teeth. Few people are lucky enough to escape trouble with at least one wisdom tooth. The wisdom teeth, technically called "permanent third molars," are the very last four molars on each side of the mouth to erupt. The problem begins because the teeth do not have enough room in the jaw to emerge normally. The most common problem is that the tooth is impacted, meaning it has become "stuck" in the jawbone. The first signs of a problem wisdom tooth are painful, swollen and inflamed gums in the area, difficulty in opening the mouth, and often fever. When such symptoms appear, a dentist should take X-rays. Serious problems occur if the tooth is tihed or lying horizontally. In such cases the tooth should be removed, preferably by an oral surgeon. Usually the removal of an impacted tooth is done fairly quickly, and recovery from the initial surgery is rapid. The patient can probably expect some pain, discomfort and swelling for the next seven to ten days. The risk of complications from extraction of third molars increases with age. For this reason, dentists advise that all four be removed at the same time if one is causing trouble.

What would happen if an evil race of Skeksis attempted to take over the world? If there'were no Gelflings left, the world would be in pretty sad shape! If you are not confused by now, then you must have seen The Dark Crystal, rated PG. Set in a mystical world, this movie, created by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, introduces a selfish and heartless race of vulture-like creatures named Skeksis. On the contrary, a gentle Gelfling, a humanlike creature, is also brought about, and it is his job to conquer the twelve remaining Skeksis. This fantasy adventure usually attracts those who love to see a struggle between good and evil. So if you fit under this category, then you
will love The Dark Crystal. The Toy Before 1 saw The Toy, 1 expected it to be another Pryor comedy—-hilarious but not very serious. Well, I was mistaken. The Toy, starring Richard Pryor, Jackie Gleason, Ned Beatty, and Scott Schwartz turned out to be a funny yet touching story. Gleason, as the stereotypical millionaire, cons Pryor, a jobless reporter, into employment as his spoiled son's "toy." The storyline changed to a more serious tone as Pryor taught the boy that money cannot buy everything. It was a nice change to see Pryor in a different type of role. In the end. The Toy left me with a "good feeling." This movie brings back a few values that we tend to forget!
