Tongue piercing

As I read the body rituals that Miner describes such as “inserting a small bundle of hog hairs into the mouth and moving that bundle around in the mouth, also visiting a holy-mouth man once or twice a year who uses a variety of tools to locate any tooth decay, references men scraping and lacerating the surface of the face with a sharp instrument” it was easy to identify these to our routines of brushing our teeth, going to the dentist and a man shaving his face. I believe Miner is referring to Americans and how Americans are concerned over their body image. I don’t think there is a substantial difference between the American’s 50 years ago vs. the American’s today. We still have these same routines, we still care about what we look like…

How do you feel about piercings? Have you ever been sitting in class and other student’s body modifications distracted you? Answer my questions honestly. I think piercings express a person’s self-expression. Pointing piercings out is a ginormous waste of class time and causes more of a disturbanceto point out than to let them go. Some people might say that piercings are distracting to other students in the classroom, they really aren’t. I think people should be able to have piercings in school. …

Hidden Gem in an Alley Imagine… You are going to meet some friends out to have dinner. “No big deal!”, you’re thinking- not the first time. Now Imagine… The GPS on your phone, that is directing you to the restaurant is taking you down a back alley of the town. GPS showing you that in 200 feet, you have reached your destination. What would be your thoughts and feelings about going to eat at a restaurant in a back alley? About five years ago, that same situation happened to me. Myself and a…

The topic of ankyloglossia, commonly referred to as tongue tie, is of concern because of its characteristic that restricts the tongue’s natural movement which causes a number of problems, possibly including speech disorders. It raises the question of whether or not ankyloglossia does cause speech disorders, and what can be done to improve speech for those with it. There is significant debate about articulation errors with regards to if they are caused by tongue restriction in individuals with…

Though Valerie was lost in her own pleasure she could feel the distinctive signs of her brother nearing his peak. Valerie could have done with out her brother wrapping his fingers around her throat, as she already felt as though he was roughing her up quite a bit, but she guessed he just wanted to try and keep her quiet, which wasn’t really fair since he continued to grunt and moan in her ear. Choking and gasping for air Valerie continued to climb up an invisible peak and continuing to soak…

this was the first time my parents have ever grounded anyone. This reaction that society has on piercings is strange but is slowly being accepted. Looking back on the history of piercings and what they mean to other cultures makes me appreciate piercings even more. Throughout history and culture piercings have had many different meanings. For some piercings show wealth, higher status, religious purposes, and is believed to help medically. My nose piercing is an example of this. Nose piercings…

first reaction if you found a singing girl in the middle of a campsite with a human tongue necklace? The singing girl’s name is Mary Anne, and she was a straight- out-of-high-school student who went to go visit her boyfriend during war. She became very intrigued with the war which lead her to participate like a soldier. The things that Mary Anne saw taking place in the war transformed her into a killer, and during the war gender was irrelevant so Mary anne blended in like the next soldier;…

I woke up to the irritating ring of my alarm, the smell of French toast lingering through the air, and the feeling of a spider crawling up my arm. It started out like any other day, but little did I know that this day was going to be a day to remember. I woke up early that day so that I could get revenge on my sisters and make them feel an icy cold shower while I felt the heat of a hot shower. The shower, however, was freezing because my sisters had the same idea as me. The shower that day was…

This is due to some issues with the tongue’s movement and control. The liquid should enter your throat all together instead of at separate times. Also, there was some residue left on the tongue, which further shows how the tongue’s movement was limited. There was a swallow delay, and some residue was left in your throat. This was caused by some issues with your throat not elevating enough to clear your throat. When we swallow, our Adam’s apple should raise in order to help assist us in…

You can see how problems during this portion of the oral preparatory phase can create problems during the next potion of the phase, mastication. Decreased or disordered cognition can further result in problems with the oral phase, which can create problems during the pharyngeal phase. Patients may not be able to hold the food in the mouth because the lips cannot be closed sufficiently to form a seal, causing anterior spillage. They may have poor mastication because of weak mandibular and tongue…
