Lead: Dental care in adolescent Australians

edit

The dental care in adolescent Australians is overall good. Studies have shown that the majority of the children in some regions of Australia are receiving the dental care that they need. However, other studies have shown that the children and young adults still encounter poor quality dental care, and some do not have access to a dentist due to financial barriers. Children in the lower income groups were the most likely to not receive the dental care they needed because of the cost of the treatment. ("Financial Burden Of Dental Care Among Australian Children." Australian Dental Journal 59.2 (2014): 268-272 5p. CINAHL Complete. Web. 23 Feb. 2016.)There are several things that the adolescents can do in order to stay proactive in healthy dental hygiene. Young Australians today have less tooth decay because of fluoride. Natural fluoride found in water has significantly increased the dental health of the adolescents, and decreased the tooth-aches. For those that do not have access to water with fluoride due to the area in which they live in, they can use alternatives such as toothpaste that does contain fluoride.

-From this source: The homer propelled the Yankees to a 7-5 victory, with headlines in the next day's New York World- Telegram screaming, "RUTH CALLS SHOT, PUTS HOME RUN NO. 2 IN SIDE POCKET."

-Also from this source: Shows that Ruth called the shot: Again, Ruth pointed toward center field.

"After that, I know there's lots of skepticism," Stevens said.

Dissenting opinions, some might say.

According to accounts of the game - and they differ wildly - the second strike prompted Ruth to point again. Some on the field claim to have heard him say he still had another strike coming.

But the Cubs let him have it some more, as Root went into his windup.

The 2-2 pitch was a changeup that Ruth ripped like a laser, a shot some estimates put at 490 feet.

Right where he had pointed, too.

-In the years to come, Ruth publicly claimed that he did, indeed, point to where he planned to send the pitch.
