Sealants Deter Cavities
Threats to Freedom
We are particularly proud that our dental office presently has over 400

The intent of this article is to inform you of the benefits of pit and fissure
sealants in the prevention of tooth carries (tooth decay) in the pre-molars
and molar teeth cf children The ages when sealants are most effective are
6 years to 18 years ' During that period of time, children do not brush their
teeth as effectively as they might - and at a tune when they may be indulg

on these rough and grooved pit and fissure surfaces, the application of the
sealant, combined with proper diet, tooth brushing, flossing and regular
checkups, helps our children have an excellent chance (betfer than 90 4.1 of

EDITOR'S NOTE: On Novem ber 18. 1987. the Honorable Rev. Ralph
A bernathy was the guest speaker at tire Greater M t Calvary Church
o f God in Christ. The Portland Observer is proud to present excerpts
fro m his speech, " The Four Threats to Freedom
"I need not pause to tell you how delighted I am, and how privileged I
am to return to the State of Oregon and to the city of Portland I will always
remember you very fondly and dearly, because you have inspired me on
other occasions. I am so glad to be with people I dearly and truly love Dr
and Mrs John Jackson, Dr. and Mrs. O B Williams, Bishop and Mrs. H B
Daniels, and so many others I have come to love.
"M artin Luther King was correct when he said that we ie all tied to
gether in one common bond of mutuality; and what affects some of us
directly, affects all of us indirectly You see, a threat to justice anywhere is
a threat to justice everywhere, and you can't be what you ought to be unti
I am what I should be
"Let me assure you that charity begins at home and then spreads
abroad. And I believe that the first thing we have to do is get ourselves tight.
We have to free America, because the world is looking at America saying
that we cannot heat what you are saying for seeing what you do
"In A m e rfc tM & m Irving theUrfe of a hypocrite that preaches one thing
and does another. We have to live a life consistent with our teachings, I
said to a radio commentator this afternoon, I'd rather see a sermon anyday
than hear one ’ What is wrong with tire world today is an absence of ove.
We don't love anybody. We don't love our neighbors. We don't love our
lower dental care costs.
Because I practice preventive dentistry, I have been placing sealant
whenever and wherever possible. And I will otter a five-year guarantee if all
home care instructions and six month checkups are observed. Hopefully,
this gesture will demonstrate how effective and valuable the pit and fissure

"A serious threat to freedom is that awful and crippling disease known
ac racism Throughout the United States of America, and I have found
abroad and all over the world, there is this crippling problem of racism. We
don't love and we don't care for each other beyond our race. We must >n
come color blind. Surely, I want to see Jesse Jackson become President of
the United States of America not because he is Black, but because he s the
most qualified person. He is the person who is concerned about the pro
blerns, and he's not afraid to address the problems that are facing America
today. That is the reason why, and no, because he's Black. We must grow
up and kill racism in this nation
