The Daily Review, Morgan City, La., Tuesday, January 20, 2015,
TODAY IN HISTORY
By The Associated Press
Today is Tuesday, Jan. 20,
the 20th day of 2015. There are
345 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On Jan. 20, 1265, England’s
first representative Parliament met for the first time; the
gathering at Westminster was
composed of bishops, abbots,
peers, Knights of the Shire and
town burgesses.
On this date:
In 1649, King Charles I of
England went on trial, accused
of high treason (he was found
guilty and executed by month’s
end).
In 1887, the U.S. Senate approved an agreement to lease
Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as a
naval base.
In 1936, Britain’s King
George V died; he was succeeded by Edward VIII.
In 1942, Nazi officials held
the notorious Wannsee conference, during which they arrived at their “final solution”
that called for exterminating
Jews.
In 1945, President Franklin
D. Roosevelt was sworn into office for an unprecedented
fourth term.
In 1954, “The Caine Mutiny
Court-Martial,” a play by Herman Wouk based on part of his
novel “The Caine Mutiny,”
opened on Broadway.
In 1965, President Lyndon
B. Johnson was inaugurated
for a term of office in his own
right. Rock-and-roll promoter
Alan Freed, 43, died in Palm
Springs, California. The Byrds
recorded the Bob Dylan song
“Mr. Tambourine Man” at Columbia Records in Hollywood.
In 1975, several former
William Morris talent agents,
including Michael Ovitz,
founded Creative Artists
Agency (CAA).
In 1981, Iran released 52
Americans it had held hostage
for 444 days, minutes after the
presidency had passed from
Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan.
In 1985, President Ronald
Reagan and Vice President
George H.W. Bush were sworn
in for second terms of office in
a brief White House ceremony
(it being a Sunday, the public
swearing-in was held the following day).
In 1986, the United States
observed the first federal holiday in honor of slain civil
rights leader Martin Luther
King Jr.
In 1990, actress Barbara
Stanwyck died in Santa Monica, California, at age 82.
Ten years ago: President
George W. Bush was inaugurated for a second term as
Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, ill with thyroid cancer,
delivered the oath of office; anti-Bush demonstrators jeered
the president’s motorcade during the inaugural parade.
Five years ago: National
Intelligence Director Dennis
Blair conceded missteps in the
government’s handling of the
Christmas Day 2009 airline
bombing attempt in testimony
before the Senate Homeland
Security Committee.
One year ago: Iran unplugged banks of centrifuges
involved in its most sensitive
nuclear enrichment program,
prompting the U.S. and the
European Union to partially
lift economic sanctions as a
landmark deal aimed at easing
concerns over Iran’s nuclear
program went into effect.
American missionary Kenneth
Bae, jailed in North Korea for
more than a year, appeared before reporters in Pyongyang
and appealed to the U.S. government to do its best to secure
his release. (Bae and fellow
American Matthew Miller
were freed in Nov. 2014.) Italian condcutor Claudio Abbado,
80, died in Bologna after a long
illness.

ASK DOCTOR K
Dental Checkups Are Necessary Even For Faithful Flossers
by Anthony L. Komaroff,
M.D.
DEAR DOCTOR K: I
take good care of my teeth,
brushing
and
flossing
regularly. Do I still need to
have
regular
dental
checkups?
DEAR READER: Even if
you brush your teeth three
times a day and floss daily,
regular checkups with a
dental professional are a
must. For most people, two
checkups per year are
enough. That’s what I have.
Routine
visits
usually
include
a
professional
cleaning, an exam and
possibly X-rays.
Professional cleaning rids
your teeth of tartar. This
thick stuff can build up in
places that are hard to reach
with a toothbrush. Or in
places that are easy to reach
with a toothbrush — if you
don’t
regularly
use
a
toothbrush!
If tartar is not removed, it
can lead to cavities and tooth
decay. During the cleaning,
the dentist or hygienist
might use a small metal
instrument with a bladelike
end to scrape off tartar above
and below the gum line. He
or she may also use an
ultrasonic vibrating device to
shake loose plaque and
tartar. The dentist or
hygienist will polish your
teeth with a lightly abrasive
paste and finish up with a
flossing.
After your teeth are clean,
your dentist will examine
them, looking for early signs
of cavities, gum disease, oral
cancer or other dental
problems
and
take
appropriate action. He or she
will look for signs of decay,
using a metal probe and a
small mirror with an angled
handle. The dentist will
check for gum disease by
examining your gums for
swelling and redness and by
measuring
the
spaces
between the teeth and the
gums.
Your dentist will test how
your upper and lower teeth
come together. He or she will
look for evidence of tooth
grinding, or problems with
the joint that connects the
lower jaw to the skull. The
dentist will also check for
signs of infection and oral
cancer. Finally, your dentist
will look for clues as to
whether problems in your
mouth
are
actually
symptoms of other diseases
in the body.
Virtually everyone who
visits the dentist will have Xrays taken at some point.
Teeth, bones, fillings and
restorations appear lighter
because they block more of
the X-rays than soft tissue.
Decayed or swollen, pusfilled areas around teeth
appear darker than healthy
teeth.
X-rays are valuable for
uncovering problems in
places that can’t easily be
seen — cavities inside and
between the teeth, for
example. They can also show
wisdom teeth that have
failed to come through the
gum and bone deterioration
below the gum line.
For me, regular cleaning
of the teeth has almost
always been a pleasant
experience — with one
notable exception. The dental
hygienist had escaped from
Communist Czechoslovakia.
She liked to talk, and, given
the circumstances, I couldn’t
say much in reply.
That day, she was talking
about all of the reasons she
hated the Communists. With
each new reason, she cleaned
the teeth by the gum line a
little harder. I blame the
Czech
Communists
for
making my mouth sore.

and professor at Harvard
Medical
School.
