Ask Doctor Universe
August 28, 2005

What do Mr. Wizard, Mr. Peabody, and the kid who sat next to you in algebra class all have in common? The answer is that they all have the answer to most of the questions that they are asked. That puts today’s Family First Site in some good company.
The site is called Ask Dr. Universe, and is a site that is maintained by the researchers at Washington State University in Pullman. Here is a kid’s site that is totally geared to helping answer the questions that we parents just can’t seem to. Ones like how much does an astronaut weigh in outer space? Or why don’t spiders stick to their own web? One that I especially enjoyed is why can’t we print enough money to pay off the national debt? There is a variety of topics here, and a chance for visitors to submit questions, and have them thoroughly answered.
Sites like today’s shows the power and potential of the Internet. This is a great site to be bookmarked, especially in a classroom setting. Let the kids spend time here, and get ready to go back to school.

Dear Doctor,
In July 2005 a dentist drilled my teeth (right side top, second from back) for doing RCT but I asked him to fill
it first and if it does not works we will go for RCT. filling was done , I had no problem but i could not eat
with that tooth. I again went to the doctor for a solution. He suggested RCT. RCT also done but i had continuous
pain since then. I was suggested to have cap to get rid of this pain. I had a cap. After capping also there was
continuous pain. after he suggested he will redo RCT. He tried to remove cap but he could'nt take it out, so he
drilled the cap and from last four months he is cleaning it every fourth day with pins and filling with
zinc-oxide. since last two months my lower jaw is bending downwards and space between teeths of lower jaw is
increasing countinuously and now it seems that upper jaw also developing space from two three places.
I still have pain in my RCT teeth. What could be the ultimate solution for this problem. what are the reasons
of lower jaw bending down. Can a thicker cap can cause a disbalance in jaws and result in such situation.
what is traumatic occlusion. What steps could be taken to prevent lower jaw from bending down. How RCT can be verified. Pain also started in right side ear and continued till neck and shoulder.
Please help, I think doctor did some mistake. I want to get it cured permanently and save my other teeths and jaws
regards
