Dental care important during pregnancy
by Sandy Boers
HIS Hygienist
Some people don't really think
about their teeth very much. As
long as they can chew without
any pain, they're happy. This is
especially true for the mother-to-be,
except, in her case, she
has so many other things to
think about, her teeth are usually
the last thing on her mind.
Unfortunately, the health of her
teeth should be on her mind.
This is no time for dental neglect!
About half of all expectant
mothers are bothered by what
we call pregnancy gingivitis. This
is a condition where the gums
tend to over-react to the irritants
around them by swelling and
bleeding. This is due to the
hormone changes that accom
pany pregnancy. These are the
same changes that give women
How work affects your Social Security income
Karen Suiter
Field Representative
Did you know that you don't
have to retire completely to get
Social Security checks?
The basic purpose of Social
Security is to provide a conti
nuing income to workers and
their families when earnings stop
orare reduced because of retire
ment, disability or death.
Because Social Security checks
are intended to replace, in part,
those lost earnings, monthly pay
ments generally are reduced if
earnings go above a certain level.
The measure used to decide
whether benefits must be reduced
or stopped is called the "earnings
test."

All Warm Springs tribal members will receive the Spilyay Tymoo at no
cost. Spilyay Tymoo is
morning sickness and swollen
ankles. Sometimes it gets so bad
that the expectant mom may
wake up in the morning and
find blood on her pillow. This
condition will usually subside
sometime afer the baby is deli
vered, but in the meantime,
bleeding gums can be a real
bother.
The best way to avoid preg
nancy gingivitis is to be very
careful about home care. Espe
cially now, brushing and flossing
is important because it is the
only way to get rid of plaque,
food and other irritants that the
gums react to. If the teeth haven't
had a professional cleaning in
awhile, now would be a good
time to get one.
Regarding x-rays in the dental
office, it's usually recommended
that x-rays be taken only in an
emergency during pregnancy. If
the need arises for an x-ray, the
dental team will take a lot of
safety precautions. They will be
certain to place a lead shield
over the patient to protect the
mother and the unborn child.
It seems as if every mother-to-be
hears stories about how
"every baby takes a tooth" or
that the baby "takes all the
calciuum away from the teeth."
The earnings test applies to
everyone who gets Social
Security retirement checks, ex
cept those who are 70 or older.
Different rules apply to work
performed by people receiving
checks because of disability.
In general, you can receive all
benefits due you for the year if
your earnings do not exceed the
annual exempt amount. This
limit in 1 986 is $7,800 for people
who are 65 to 70 and is $5,760
for people under 65. (In 1985,
the limits were $7,320 for people
65 to 70 and $5,400 for people
under.)
If your earnings go over the
annual amount, we will deduct
$1 from your benefits for each
$2 you earn above the exempt

mother's baby's calcium needs

cavities after her pregnancy, the
downfall is usually due to the
neglect of her teeth before and
after delivery.
The best thing that can be
done for the mother-to-be and
her unborn child is to follow
some general rules for her health.
I. Eat healthy foods! Pick
foods from the four basic food
groups including milk and cheese,
meat, fish and eggs, fruits and
vegetables and breads and
cereals. Moms-to-be, like every
one, should keep their bodies
healthy by eating good food,
drinking lots of water and avoid

2. Get regular dental check
ups and be meticulous about
brushing and flossing. It will
keep the gums healthy and the
teeth free of decay.
If you're a mother-to-be, take
care of yourself! You owe it to
yourself and your baby to be as
healthy as you can be.
amount, tven if your earnings
are above the exempt amount
for this year, some Social Security
checks may still be payable. For
example, if you are 65 with a
monthly benefit of $400, you
could earn $ 1 7,400 in 1 986 before
all benefits are withheld. i
Benefits are payable for all
months in which you are 70 or
older, regardless of the amount
of your earnings in those months
or total earnings for the year.
If you expect to earn over the
annual exempt amount, you
should tell Social Security
promptly how much you expect
to earn so some or all of your
benefits can be withheld. Any
benefits which were incorrectly
paid may have to be repaid. If

will be higher or lower than you
expected, you should again tell
us. If your earnings were over
the exempt amount in 1985, you
are required to file an annual
report of earnings by April 15th
of this year.
There is a special rule that
allows people who retire during
a year to receive benefits for the
remainder of the year regardless
of their earnings before retire
ment. - ;
Under this rule, you can get a
full benefit for any month your
wages do not exceed the monthly
exempt amount and you do not

self employment. The monthly
exempt amount in 1986 is $650
if you're 65 or older and $480 if
you're under 65.

Users can never be sure which
drug they're buying or how pure
it is. Sometimes a deadly by
product of the drug results when
the drug is synthesized. PCP is
often sold as mescaline, THC,
(the psychoactive ingredient in
marijuana) or other drugs.
The drug is available in a
number of forms: white powder,
or tablet, or crystal. It can be
swallowed, smoked, sniffed or
injected. Some dealers add PCP
to marijuana, unbeknownst to
the user.
The physical effects of PCP
include increased heart rate and
blood pressure, flushing, sweat
ing, dizziness and numbness to
pain. Large doses can bring on
drowsiness, convulsions and
coma. Repeated convulsions,
heart and lung failure or ruptured
blood vessels in the brain can
cause death.
Regular use may affect
memory, perception, concentra
tion and judgement. Paranoia,
fearfulness, depression and
anxiety are common among
steady users. PCP users also
can lose touch with reality and
have psychotic episodes.
Sometimes these effects can
last for weeks.
PCP is one of the most dange
rous drugs known since it can
produce violent or bizarre beha
vior in people who normally
don't act that way. This behavior
can lead to injury or death from
accidental drowning, burns, falls,
and car accidents.
