Numb Tongue
Most everyone will have their wisdom teeth removed, its a very common procedure. however if its done incorrectly, the patient can end up with a permanently numb tongue. Sensation and taste are delivered to the tongue through the lingual nerve.
The day after the tooth extraction if your tongue is still numb you should report this issue to the surgeaon who performed the work. Consider getting a second opinion from a clinic that examines and evaluates lingual nerve damage. This shoudl be done forthright if you are wanting to get the nerve repaired. Most oral surgeons believe the success rate is higher if it is addressed quickly.
Caution, some patients who have an injured lingual nerve are informed that it was part of the consent form the patient signed or was a calculated risk of the procedure — that is nonsense and irrelevant. The real issue is whether the wisdom tooth extraction was performed properly or not.

Chinese Toothpaste Recalled
the FDA has put out an alert warning consumers to be aware for toothpaste made in China. Toothpaste made in China is often found in dollar stores.
The recalled product contains diethylene glycol, which is antifreeze..
Officials are concerned with the bargain outlets primarily as this will be the most affected they feel. This glycol is used as a thickener and a sweetener. The largest amount authorities have discovered is about 4%.
FDA officials state that Di ethylene Glycol has no business in toothpaste no matter how much.
All toothpaste made in China is suspect.
I mean what on earth are they thinking? Are their standards really that low, or is this some form of Chinese malice against the world?

In 1998, at least 27 people died from dog attacks. 70 % of those deaths were children, and 8 were adults. Its very important to teach your child dog safety to rpevent them from being a casualty.
Ohio has strict laws regarding this type of thing, stating basically, the owner has committed the act that the animal did. The animals owner is liable whether it occurred in public or in his home. Hes also liable even if the dog had never acted like that prior or ever been aggressive, regardless of wheter the owner thought the dog would act that way. The dog does nto get a free bite. the only defense for the animal is if the injured party had provoked the animal.
Also, the old common law approach is also available for injured plaintiffs. Under the traditional approach, if the owner is aware or has reason to be aware of the dog’s violent propensities, the owner of the dog is liable for injuries caused by the dog.
