Blindsided Dragons ousted in district tournament

By DAN HOEHNE [email protected] An old sports adage came back to haunt the Lady Dragons of the soccer pitch Tuesday night, as they fell by a 3-1 score in the opening round of the District 10-2A tournament to Mulberry. It was the adage that beating a team three times in a row can be a difficult thing to do. Lake Placid had topped the Panthers twice during the regular season and earned the top seed for the News-Sun photo by DAN HOEHNE tournament. The Lady Dragon bench erupts in celebration after the final buzzer sounds in Tuesday’s 54- Mulberry 30 win over Avon Park. But those two wins, 3 by 3-1 and Lake Placid 2-0 scores, Lady Dragons’ weren’t the sort of lop- 1 sided differ- ences that made this match a sure thing.

FAMILY FEATURES

here’s a lot more that goes into a great smile than just keeping the pearly whites, well, white. T Protecting tooth enamel plays an important role in having a beautiful and healthy smile. What is tooth enamel? Enamel is the thin outer covering of the tooth. It’s the hardest tissue in the human body and it helps protect teeth from the wear and tear that comes with chewing, biting and grinding. It also helps insulate teeth from hot and cold, making it possi- ble to enjoy ice cream or hot coffee. While enamel is hard, it can chip or crack. Once the enamel layer is lost, it cannot regenerate. What causes enamel erosion? Enamel erosion happens when acids wear away the enamel on teeth, which can lead to the loss of tooth structure. The calcium that’s in saliva will usually help strengthen teeth after you have a small amount of acid, but too much acid prevents that from happening. Enamel erosion can be caused by a number of things: Ⅲ Excessive consumption of carbonat- ed drinks — sodas and other car- bonated drinks contain high levels of phosphoric and citric acids, which can dissolve the enamel on your teeth quickly. The more you drink, or the longer you hold the drink in your mouth, the more dam- age is done. Ⅲ Fruit drinks (some acids in fruit drinks are more erosive than battery acid) Ⅲ Dry mouth or low salivary flow Ⅲ Diet (high in sugar and starches) Ⅲ Acid reflux disease Ⅲ Gastrointestinal problems Ⅲ Medications (aspirin, antihista- mines) Ⅲ Genetics (inherited conditions) Ⅲ Environmental factors (friction, wear and tear, stress and corrosion) Protecting Tooth Enamel There are some simple things that you can do to help take care of your enamel and keep your teeth healthy: Brush and floss daily. Mom and the dentist are right. Keeping your teeth clean prevents enamel-damaging elements from building up. Be sure to brush for two minutes at least twice a day. Use fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride is a tooth strengthener, so it should be a part of your twice-daily brushing routine. For fluoride tooth- paste with enamel care built in, con- sider ARM & HAMMER® Complete Care™ Enamel Strengthening toothpaste. It’s the only toothpaste with fluoride and Liquid Calcium®, which strengthens enamel while gently removing plaque and whitening teeth. Learn more at www.ahcompletecare.com. See a dentist for regular check-ups and cleaning. Not only will it help keep your teeth cleaner, but also your dentist can detect problems before you can — which means a small problem can be taken care of before it becomes a big one.
