DUI: MAKING THE PENALTIES FIT THE ACT


The act of driving under the influence of a mind-altering substance is considered a crime in every state. Different states have different laws concerning the definition of alcohol level required to fit the definition of “under the influence,” but all include a standard that, if found, will lead to consequences and legal penalties.

Most DUI stops include either a breath or blood test to prove liability. Scoring above the legally allowed limit on one of the tests is considered conclusive proof that the person stopped is guilty of driving under the influence.

Laws penalizing this act have become as strict as they are due to the impact an accident involving alcohol can have on all persons in its path. Because the effect of using alcohol is to slow the response and judgment time of the human brain, the consequences of that impaired behavior can be devastating or fatal to any person unlucky enough to be in the way.

States have increasingly tightened up on the penalties for DUI, its resulting accidents and tragedies. Accidents involving alcohol cause millions of dollars in damage and injury annually.
Although alcoholism has been shown to be a disease, the drinking and subsequent unfortunate results cannot be excused on that basis alone. Society through government has the responsibility to take leadership in preventing as much injury and heartache as it can through laws which require its citizens to act responsibly, and to penalize them in the event that they don’t comply.




Permanent Dentures: The Key to a Bright, Comfortable Smile!

In a search for a solution to denture problems, with their propensity to slip out of place, cause discomfort and create cleaning issues, the dental profession now offers patients a welcome new option in what they are calling "permanent dentures." While people generally know that the only real "permanent" teeth are the originals that came with the body, dental technology has come up with a solution consisting of implants and/or bridge work that creates a dental solution which does not require daily removal or enduring ill-fitting partial plates attached with sticky goop.

The patient is evaluated to see what form of implants may be attached to existing tooth structures. Once the implant is in place, a bridge is created and added to the implant if the implant alone is not to the patient's liking. The appliance is attached with permanent dental cement so that it will not come out unintentionally. The dental work can then be cleaned while in the mouth, avoiding the standard denture soaking procedures.

These attractive permanent dentures offer comfort and the security of knowing that the wearer's teeth will not move unexpectedly or come out at awkward moments. That secure feeling inspires confidence in wearers and enlarges their dietary selections. The teeth are virtually maintenance free outside of routine brushing and flossing if advised to do so by the dentist.

There are dental practices whose clientele is solely made up of persons seeking permanent dentures. The technology, expertise and equipment required for this form of practice is sophisticated and requires an expert to be able to perform the techniques required to create a perfect set of permanent dentures. The procedure requires multiple dental visits to ensure that the implant procedure has been successful, to be certain that the shades chosen for the new appliance match the patient's remaining existing teeth, and to be sure that the patient's gum line continues in a healthy state throughout the entire procedure.

If your lifestyle doesn't lend itself to regular dentures, with their impermanence and difficult maintenance, check with a dentist about being fitted with a set of permanent dentures. The addition to your self-confidence and appearance will make this a positive change for your life!
