Moore Heppner dentist As our children are develop ing in the womb, a grossly disfigured and frightening figure appears with its folds and wrinkles. From the fusion of these folds comes the dental arches which contain the tooth buds, the future baby and adult teeth. The baby tooth buds begin to form their prospective teeth about six weeks in the womb. It is often asked if the mother takes fluoride during pregnancy whether this will help baby teeth to be strong. Fluoride does not cross the barrier between baby and mother.

Once the baby teeth have formed substantially they be gin to erupt. Of the children who are six-months-old, 33 percenjjjflhemwill have one to three teeth visible, 12 months 50 percent will have four to eight teeth, 24 months 60 percent will have 15 to 18 teeth visible and children 36-months-old will have 20 teeth. If the child does not have all 20 teeth at 42 months, a parent should begin to worry. Some characteristics of our children's newly acquired teeth are: they are usually very white, unlike the adult teeth which usually have a yellowish color; teeth are usually in the arch in a circular fashion: and there are usually spaces between the front teeth which in later life is important. May I, l(Wi Payne's route includes trips from Hermiston. where he picks up the Mayflower Pro ducts, to Heppner twice a week and to Condon two other days. The Sweeney brothers pur chased the creamery along with Hager's Dairy last July. The creamery has been around for 60 years and was first owned by the Cox family. Sweeney said.

"No one around here makes it anymore." Sweeney said. The mix is poured into a 10 gallon "batch" freezer that can make 10 gallons of ice cream at a time. Flavoring is added and then a mixture of air is added to make it fluffy. Tash mixes the air into the mix to get the proper weight. "Air determines if it is too heavy or too light of a mix," Sweeney said. Even though it is a batch freezer that takes about eight This h?jlr "Your Home - ft ) 5 X MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE "iff minutes to freeze each batch of ice cream, Sweeney said it is a fairly continuous opera tion since getting the contain ers ready and adding flavor ing can be done while the ice cream is freezing. Brian Sweeney empahsized that the creamery makes a "premium" ice cream with 12 percent butterfat rather than the usual eight to 10 percent. The ice cream is sold mainly in half gallon plastic contain ers but restaurants buy it in three gallon burrels. "We sell all we can turn out as fast as we can make it," Sweeney said.
