Lemon Butter Baked Shrimp
In a saucepan melt butter over low heat. Once melted, add garlic and let sizzle for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and add lemon juice. Pour mixture over shrimp, add salt and pepper to taste and red pepper flakes. Toss the shrimp slightly to make sure they are all covered then lay them back out in a single layer and place your lemon slices on top of the shrimp. Place in oven and bake until shrimp turn pink and become opaque, usually around 9 to 13 minutes. Avoid overcooking!! Remove cooked shrimp from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Move shrimp into a serving platter and drizzle residual sauce over them. Serve over rice. Enjoy! And remember, if it looks and smells good, eat it!!
Crazy, Zany Facts We Bet You Didn´t Know
Dental Talk - A Member Blog Forum:
These are just a few of the topics. Our blog site contains many other interesting topics. Please join us!! Questions From Our MembersA. Manford of New York, NY asks:“I have a tooth with some decay and my dentist said that instead of a composite filling that he wants to do an inlay or onlay. Can you explain the difference?“ Savon’s AnswerInlays and onlays are a specific type of dental restoration that restores a tooth by providing additional support without requiring the need to damage or destroy too much of the natural tooth. It is often recommended as a form of treatment when a patient has a situation where a composite filling won´t provide enough support to properly restore a tooth, but the damage isn´t so bad that it needs a dental crown.Inlays and onlays are a solid, single piece of porcelain material that fit snuggly onto a tooth that has a hole left by tooth decay. There is a slight difference between an inlay and onlay. An inlay is shaped to fit the space that occurs near the center of a tooth, while an onlay is larger and fits over the biting surface or the space between teeth. A composite filling is a quick, easy tooth restoration process that can be completed in a single office visit. Dental inlays and onlays are sturdy dental restorations for teeth that have been damaged to much for a composite filling to be sound, but not so damaged they need a dental crown. The dental inlays and onlays are customized to securely and snugly fit the gap caused by tooth decay. Since inlays and onlays are created in a dental lab they require two visits to your dentist.

To examine the link between sleep and severe periodontitis in adults in the U.S., data from 5,495 people from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey underwent univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. These were conducted before and after adjusting for factors, including age, sex, body mass index, and smoking status. Also, a stratified sex–based analysis was done to explore potential sex differences between severe periodontitis and sleep, according to the study. The analysis revealed a significant correlation between the recommended sleep duration of seven to nine hours nightly and the prevalence of severe periodontitis in women (odds ratio [OR] = 0.68, p = 0.003). In women, urinating twice or three times per night was significantly linked to severe gum disease (OR = 1.44, p = 0.011). This association was more noteworthy in women who urinated at least four times nightly (OR = 1.68, p = 0.035). In men, these correlations were unfounded, the authors wrote. Nonetheless, the study‘s limitation was that it was based on participants‘ self–reported sleep habits. The study may be affected by reporting and remembering bias, the authors wrote. Furthermore, this study calls attention to the importance of assessing the sleep quality and quantity of patients, specifically women, in the prevention and treatment of gum disease. Also, it may aid in creating new and therapeutic strategies for periodontitis through the improvement of sleep quality and the enhancement of future policies and interventions aimed at oral and overall health, the authors wrote. In the future, more prospective longitudinal research is necessary to deduce causal relationships between sleep and periodontal health, they wrote. “Severe periodontitis in women was found to be significantly associated with poor sleep quality, but not in men,” Pu and colleagues concluded. Until next time; brush, floss and keep smiling!
