FLUORIDE TO THE RESCUE
When acid-producing bacteria attack tooth enamel, calcium and phosphorous are
dissolved away. The good news is that these minerals can return to “remineralize”
the tooth when they are held in solution by saliva. Most importantly, this remineral
ization process occurs more rapidly and results in stronger enamel if fluoride is pre
sent in the saliva. Fluoride not only speeds the remineralization process, but it is also
incorporated into the enamel of developing teeth when it is swallowed. There is also
some evidence that fluoride retards the development, or the activity, of decay-caus
ing bacteria. Patients may avail themselves of the beneficial effects of fluoride from
fluoridated toothpaste and mouthwash, topical fluoride treatments, dietary supple
ments, and fluoridated water.
Even with all the innovative dental equipment and techniques available today, you
can’t escape it. Brushing, flossing, and fluoride still remain at the comerstone of
good oral hygiene. These three elements of dental care will help insure that your
professional dental visits will be shorter, more comfortable, and less costly than if
routine maintenance is ignored. All of ua at CUMMING DENTAL ASSOCIATES
work hard to keep you smiling. For gentle dental care for the family at 306 West
Main Street, please call 781-8650. P.S. Children are cautioned against ingesting too
much fluoride during the time of tooth development, which can result in the condi
tion known as fluorosis (characterized by stained and pitted enamel).
Sit down to a plate of lotus seeds
Turns out I like jackfruit chips.
My favorite Thai restaurant is not
exactly in a spot where you want to
loiter outside while waiting to eat.
So in we went to the grocer’s next
door to kill a little time. Turns out
it’s the local oriental market
There, a block off Jimmy Carter
Boulevard and mainstream Atlanta, bustled a whole
new world. Because it was clear from the start that
asking questions would be futile without a rigorous
crash course in foreign language, browsing became an
adventure.
First the refrigerated section. Lots of cold drinks
from which to choose. Lychee drink. Mango drink.
Soya bean drink. Even grass jelly drink. For those still
unsated, frozen seedless durian monthong. (Beats me.)
There was also frozen fresh fish paste. That’s right.
Frozen fresh.
I discovered I was not particularly in the mood for
any of those delicacies. Nor did I crave the dehydrated
split pollack, a flat, dried fish that convinced me I
should never, ever eat seafood again. Or perhaps it
was the squid fish sauce or the dried squid or the sar
dines in tomato sauce. I lose track.
An entire section was devoted to one-pound bags of
monosodium glutamate. I have a friend whose nose
swells up each time she eats Chinese food with MSG
in it and my face began to feel puffy just seeing the
heaping sacks of shimmery powder.
Next, the rice section. Nay, the rice AISLE. No
wimpy eight-ounce boxes of Uncle Ben’s, mind you.
Instead, 50-pound sacks were piled to the ceiling. But
it was the delicious, good-for-use-with-chopsticks,
clumping kind of Jasmine rice. (Not to be confused
with clumping kitty litter which, a friend tells me, was
invented in rural Alabama, another foreign country.)
There must have been 30 varieties of dried mush
rooms and as many versions of pasta. I saw an awful
lot of small packages with coiled vermicelli that
resembled ramen noodles, but noticed no microwave

Name that face
The 1959 yearbook for Forsyth County High School featured a group of family, friends and student
athletes at the girls’ basketball state championship in Macon. In the above photo, some familiar
faces may be recognized for their pursuits in Cumming following their high school graduations.
Some of the faces were identified as follows: 1- Basketball coach D.B. Carroll; 2- City Councilman
Rupert Sexton; 3- Frances Sexfon; 4- Former County Commissioner David Sexton; 5- Lamar
Sexton; 6- Ann Holcomb Story;
7- Billy Burruss; 8- local barber,
Donald Martin; 9- Patsy
Ledbetter Holbrook, school bus
driver; and 10- Nancy Wolfe
Spence. Who else can you
identify?

is a literal task, it seems. I was tempted at last by the
rectangular blocks of what appeared to be compressed
brown sugar. I looked at the ingredients and, sure
enough. Pure sugar. Nothing more. Pass.
Dinner time was nearing and yet two aisles
remained. I suppose even travel to that distant land
would be the same. So much to discover and not
enough time. I began to huny, wondering which of the
strange and wonderful items before me would in fact
be part of our dinner fare ahead.
Lotus seeds. Canned fish maw which, as it turns out,
is stomach. Canned quail eggs. Frozen fruit something
which even the Thai guy in the restaurant next door
could not later identify. He did, however, discover it is
edible if you like bitter fruit and cook it in soup for
seasoning. Not sure I’ve ever shot for “bitter” when
cooking, but to each his own.
And I would never have suspected sauteed radishes
or preserved turnips would look quite so slimy.
Reminded me I really need to check my refrigerator’s
vegetable drawer soon.
It was time to go. Picking out a few items - both out
of sheer curiosity and also to calm the grocer who had
warily watched us pore over his stock - we prepared
to leave. A bag of jackfruit chips. A can of lotus seed
pods, which I’m assuming Will taste like garbanzo
beans. A frozen mass of something unidentifiable.
A tray of exposed chicken eggs rested on the check
out counter, no refrigeration. I was silently grateful
that my save Thai soup is coconut and not egg drop.
Just one more item and we could leave.
Seems Pepto Bismol was nowhere to be found. They
were fresh out.
