Wellness #42 Staying Well (?)

Eating the right foods and exercising faithfully can go a long way to ensure a happy and healthy life. There are also many things that go on in your daily life that you have no control over and you or someone in your family will have dental problems, will get sick or hurt in some way. One of the great things about the Internet is the ability to retrieve current and somewhat personalized medical information . Both of my parents are having some major health issues right now and I am able to research some of their symptoms. I did not find "symptom checker" on the Mayo Clinic web site very helpful to me. A medical web site I do like is Wellness Resource, It explains medical conditions and treatments to me in simple terms that I can understand. The Mayo Clinic Cancer. Org. gave and very good diagnosis explanation, and treatment plans.
The local medline plus was an interesting site and one that I have never explored.
I picked a topic on denatl care and dental resources, in Fort Bend County. I found a lot of information on dental health care but I was hoping to find a source to be included in an independent dental study, or something of that nature. What I found was a school in Warten that you could have dental work done at a reduced cost. When it comes to my dental health I am wishing for a set miracle teeth, and not a visit from the tooth fairy.
