DEAD-LIP" SYNDROME Most of our patients don't have any

problems with the use of local anes- thetics that we use to reduce the dis- comfort caused by some dental proce- dures. For some of you, the anesthetic needle may inspire some fear. Others are disturbed by the numbness in your lips and tongue - the "dead-lip syn- drome". Well, modern advances in an- esthesia technique can help with both these problems.

First, improved topical anesthetics can numb the surface of the gum and reduce - or even eliminate - the prick of the needle.

Secondly, a new technique em-

ploying extra-fine injection needles now makes it possible to "deaden" only a single tooth rather than the whole jaw. With these extremely delicate needles, we can place the anesthetic through the ligament and into the nerve that is connected to the individual tooth. This kind of intraligamental in- jection works quickly, leaves no "dead- lip", and according to some patients, is almost unnoticeable.

Presented as a public service to promote better dental health. From the office ofJOHN B. MYRES, D.D.S., 700 S. McCarty, Eagle Lake, 234-3525.

Coping with Honey Bee problems

By Benard Mitchell Colorado County Extension

Agent, Agriculture A Colorado County Honey Bee

Workshop and Training meeting will be held Monday, Sept. 25, at 7 p.m. in the County Agriculture Building, at 316 Spring SL in Columbus.

This workshop and training will cover:

•Dealing with honey bee swarms; •How to protect yourself from bee

stings; •Exterminating problem bees; •How to identify Africanized

Honey Bees; •Removal of honey bees; and •Developing a honey bee response

plan. Conducting the workshop will be

Dr. Rodney Holloway, Associate Pro- fessor and Extension Pesticide As- sessment Specialist, Apiary, with the Texas Agricultural Extension Serv- ice, along with Harvey Neubauer, a local beekeeper. Following the train- ing meeting, a response plan for honey bee attacks will be made.

The arrival of Africanized Honey Bees in the U.S. has heightened con- cerns about the potential health-re- lated dangers of the insects.

A number of bee stings have oc- curred this past year, with all of the specimens being identified as Euro- pean Bees.

This program should be of benefit to emergency management personnel, sheriffs department, city police de- partments, hospital personnel, county commissioners, beekeepers and other interested persons.

If you plan to attend this meeting, please call the County Extension of- fice at 979-732-2082, so that an ample amount of handouts will be prepared.
