Cother

I once thought an atheist was the dumbest person on
earth. I’ve changed my mind. The prize now goes to those
who say, “God is dead.” To say there never was a God is one
thing; to belive that there was one, but He grew old and kicked the
bucket sounds more like a joke. I have an idea that some kid brought
this home from school one day and told it to professor father as
a joke. The dad who wasn’t too keen on God anyway, assumed his
child must have gotten the news from Huntley- Brinkley. Fired with
this conviction, he started teaching it in school.
The longer I live, the more I am convinced that I could ride down
the street on a white elephant, while standing on my head nude,
claiming that I was God and get a sizable group of people to believe
me. It seems that folks are far more interested in listening to crack-
pot-ideas than they are in hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The above “Chaplain’s Corner” is the first submitted by our new
chaplain, V. A. Henriksen. (Ed.)

Opinions and statements made In
articles published here are those of
the authors and are not to be con-
strued as official views of the U.S.
Govt., Dept, of Defense or the Navy
experience, and a visit to the dental office is no exception.
A child’s first visit to the dentist should be a pleasant
one since his first impressions will influence his attitude
toward dental care for the rest of his life. And, his parents
have an important role in making the visit pleasant.
The child’s first visit should some when he’s between age
two and three, when all the first®"
teeth are in and, if possible, before
treatment is needed. Often the
first visit consists of only an oral
examination. If small cavities are
found that need filling, the dentist
may decide to treat them.
Usually, however, nothing more
than a routine check-up, perhaps
an x-ray examination, and clean-
ing of the teeth is all that is
neccessary.
Purpose of the examination is
to be sure that everything is as
it should be — the first teeth in
good condition and the second
ones developing properly.
The x-ray examination will de-
tect any problems such as extra
teeth or beginning cavities on the
hidden surfaces of the teeth. It
will show if the permanent teeth
are forming and in proper posi-
tion.
Such examination makes it
possible to catch difficulties early,
when correction is easiest, most
effective, and reasonably free of
discomfort.
When the child visits the den-
tist, the dentist will exptlain the
instruments he is going to use
— the mouth mirror, explorer
and the x-ray machine. He may
use illustrated pamphlets, records
or even a movie to explain good
oral hygiene. A gift from the toy
box a compliment to the young-
ster for his good behavior efforts
in the dental chair help to leave
a happy impression.
Dentists suggest that appoint-
ments be made for children in the
morning; a child accepts new ex-
perience more readily when he’s
not tired.
But the most important in-
gredient for early success in den-
tal care is the parents’ own atti-
tude.
It should be casual and ex-
planatory. Tell the child what he
will probably see at the dentist’s
office. Avoid references to your
own painful experiences or to
your bravery in the dental chair.
A child should never be bribed
to make this first visit or he will
expect it to be unpleasant.
Explain dental care in a posi-
tive way. How it works for your
child’s good health, good teeth and
nice smile.
You’ll want to prepare your
child properly for this first visit.
It’s the first step in developing
positive life-long attitudes to-
ward dental care.

MCC can check with Material
Control on this possible problem
area. Is the part on forward sup-
ply? Is it at Base Supply? Is it
at Electronics Assets Control
Center (EACC) ? The two sec-
tions then determine the priority
that should procure this part in
