Galling Gums

When I was 30 years old I suffered from a lot of gum problems . I even had a few surgeries . A reader asked if the gum problems come back . In my experience , you have to maintain it for the rest of your life , and if you take good care then it won ’ t come back . I visit a gum specialist religiously 3 times a year , and get my teeth and gums cleaned professionally . This is the only way to maintain your gums if you are having problems .

Answer to Question # 1007

Beautiful Blouse

If you have pen marks on a blouse , I would recommend you should apply Basic-H from Shaklee , undiluted , directly on the stain . Let it sit for a few minutes and then rub it gently with a cloth . If it doesn ’ t come out right away , try to repeat it for another 2-3 times .

In my experience , the best place to go that will fill your eyeglass prescription to perfection is Rite Site . Not having the right prescription can definitely be causing your headaches , and especially if you say your prescription hasn ’ t changed . … I also had a similar issue , where I simply could not get used to my new glasses . The only one who was able to help me was Dr . Leo Ollech , in Flatbush . He ’ s a top , top eye doctor . Sometimes it ’ s not simply a matter of the prescription , sometimes it ’ s the way the glass is made . He ’ s the only one that was able to get it just right for me . His number is 718-258- 0315 . … I would recommend the following when you are trying to get used to a new pair of glasses . Look down at a tiled floor : if the lines between the tiles look straight , not jumping around or squiggly , then the glasses are probably good and you just have to get used to it . Try breaking them in slowly , wearing them only 1 hour a day for a week at first , and then gradually increasing . By two weeks you should be used to the new glasses .
