This department proves that every day, Vicki. We're such a happy bunch. (Yes, I'm sure Kevin is unwell somewhere.)

Thanks for the comments. The best reminder in all of this is that while we will be happier and more content, those around us will be too!

VIcki: You hit the proverbial nail on the head. All five steps that you mention will certainly lead us to more happiness in our lives. Committing acts of kindness takes the attention off ourselves and directs it toward others instead. Great post. T…

Great post, Vicki! I think being grateful for what you have is the easiest one to sometimes overlook. We just take so much for granted, and then get upset or down when something doesn't go our way. That also fits very well with "counting your blessi…

5 things that will make you happier

This article titled "5 things that will make you happier" from MSNBC News on Twitter caught my eye the other day. I read it and tweeted about it. Scientists have argued that happiness is largely determined by genetics, health, and various factors beyond our control. But a psychologist named Sonja Lyubomirsky from the University of California, Riverside, says part of our happiness "is within our power to change."


Lyubomirsky spoke at a recent meeting of the American Associati

Woman regains sight through a procedure involving an implanted tooth

A 60-year-old Smithdale, Miss., woman — Sharron “Kay” Thornton — who had been blind for nine years now can see, thanks to a rare procedure in which surgeons implanted a tooth in her eye to hold a prosthetic lens in place. Dr. Victor L. Perez, a corneal specialist, performed a series of surgeries that involved implanting one of Ms. Thornton's teeth in her eye. The surgery was performed at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Dr. Perez explained: "… Continue

Stem cells may improve the adaptability of dental implants

A procedure using stem cells may provide a more thorough regeneration of periodontal tissue around dental implants, according to a new report published in the Journal of Oral Implantology.

Dental implants closely resemble natural teeth, but an implant’s ability to react to patient growth, pressure from chewing, and future orthodontic work is diminished if it is not surrounded by sufficient periodontal tissue. In this study, the authors engineered this periodontal tissue in a fresh socket… Continue

Say Cheese With Milk

GOT MILK? sponsors a photo contest to celebrate National Dairy & Smile Month

The struggle between parent and child starts at sundown. Bath: Check. Pajamas on: Check. Favorite bedtime book: Check. Brush teeth: Sigh. Suddenly, the nightly routine can come to a screeching halt if the child hates to brush his teeth. According to a 2006 report by the Dental Health Foundation, by the time children are in kindergarten, more than 50% already have had tooth decay. When these children reach th… Continue

Hi Vicki,
I wrote to Sheri so we will see what we can come up with.
By the way, my email address is:rdhjw@aol.com if you are interested in just emailing instead of communicating this way. Just let me know.

Hi Vicki,
Thanks for touching base. I am excited to be invited to share my thoughts about oral cancer and early detection with Dental Economics. This is a topic I feel very passionately about. I look forward to observing you "work your magic" on the article I submitted. Have a great day!
Best Regards,

Thanks, Vicki.

I’m pretty much self-taught. However, both my mom and dad were talented artists. Both got their degrees in art from North Texas State. Mom did it professionally while she was living, as well as taught school in Amarillo.

I started drawing as a serious hobby in 1989. My favorite subject is faces and hands.

Vicky, so good to see your photo! We've worked together a lot but I don't think I've ever met you face to face. Are you going to be at ADA?

In any event, thanks for all your help!
