Tongue thrust problems
by Dr. W.J. Walker Jr.
Every person swallows
some 2,000 times a day.
During that swallow, the
tongue can exert one to six
pounds of pressure. During
the correct swallow, the tip
of the tongue presses with
the force slightly behind the
top teeth. The main
pressure of the tongue is
against the stong palate.
This is good.
During an incorrect
swallow, the tongue force is
exerted fully against the
front teeth. The teeth are
not equipped to withstand
this type of pressure and
may be pushed out of
alignment. Also, it may
prevent new teeth from
erupting properly in young
people.
In order to correct this
situation, the dentist might
recommend a tongue
thrusting habit appliance.
In other cases, he might
refer the patient for
Myofunctional Therapy

thrust therapy). Therapy

“We must help one
another. We must have
economic development. A
minister can get into a home

Griffin said the Bible
says, ‘‘Don’t worry about
food and drink, the
Heavenly Father knows
your needs. Let the black
church seek the kingdom of
God, not the kingdom of
God seek the black chur
ch.”
The church, he said, has
a sacred mission—the
glorification of God and the
salvation of souls. ‘‘The
mission is to a world of
wickedness, people in
sin—lost men, not poor
men, not black men.”
He said that when Jesus
fed the multitude he left
‘‘because he didn’t want to
get into worldly
things... The church’s pur
pose is salvation, not to
make everyone rich.”
Mrs. Wise said that
Christ came to see that
everyone must have a right
to “the tree of life.”

several private therapists).
The therapy is designed to
retrain the muscles of the
tongue, lips and cheeks to
properly perform as to
strength and placement; to
teach correct swallowing
patterns; and to instill a
permanent, correct
swallowing pattern. Tongue
thrust can be over come,
but it requires full
cooperation by the patient.
I have had to caution
some of my patients who
present with diastermas
“gaps or spaces” between
the front and with the
tongue thrust habit that just
crowning or capping these
teeth or having braces
placed to bring them back
together will not solve the
problem within itself
without a correction of the
tongue thrust habit.
Look and function are
important. If you have a
tongue thrust habit or if
your child has one consult
your dentist as soon as you
can.

Joseph Canada said, “1
do not believe in any sense
of the word that the church
should play any role in the
development of the black
community. In the Bible
you will not see that the
church has a role in
developing any community.
The black community has
no special place in God’s
kingdom,” he said. The
ideas mentioned here are
good ideas for some
businessmen to get involved
in, but not the black chur
ch.”
He said Jesus threw the
money changers out of the
church, and the disciples
didn’t want to get involved
in economic development.
“Where your treasure is
your heart will be also.
Where will your hearts be,
with the money changers
out here or with Christ?”
he asked.
Material greed, he said, is
the result of people who
have forgotten the mission
of the church. “The ‘in
crowd’ of a permissive
society would have you
believe this is where the
church’s mission ought to
be.”
