Ehhh, okay, fine, disbelievers. It's just the inside of a pepper with some light tweaks to curves, levels, and a blending filter (overlay or multiply -- I forget which, it's been so long since I did it, five minutes, maybe fifteen).
Not teeth. Just pepper guts.
A guy can try.

Hundreds of Chattanooga Residents join together to support oral cancer survivor and raise awareness
Chattanooga Walk Promotes Early Detection of Oral Cancer
June 11, 2010 - Newport Beach, CA
Recently, oral cancer survivor Jeanna Richelson, organized the first Chattanooga Oral Cancer Awareness Walk, which raised donations for the Oral Cancer Foundation, and much needed awareness of a disease that too few Americans know about. According to the foundation’s executive director Brian Hill, “I don’t believe there has ever been an oral cancer walk that was this successful in its first year. This was an absolutely amazing effort by Jeanna and those who helped her make this possible.”
Unlike other cancers we commonly hear about, oral cancer is a disease the majority of the public has heard little about, even though it has one of the highest death rates. Even with famous people who have passed away from this disease such as, Babe Ruth, Sigmund Freud, and George Harrison, it still receives little attention. While walks have become commonplace in many other diseases, raising awareness is no longer part of their function. By having a walk to raise awareness of oral cancer, it also raises awareness of risk factors that people might avoid, encourages simple inexpensive annual screenings, which will in turn reduce the death rate. Jamie O’Day, the treatment facilities coordinator for OCF commented, “This is a disease that in its early stages of development does not always produce symptoms that people might notice. Because of the insidious nature of oral cancer, annual screenings are essential to finding it as precancerous tissue changes, or at early stages of development when existing treatments are the most effective.”
Chattanooga, Tennessee derives its name from a Cherokee word that means “big catch” and refers to the great fishing that can be found on the Tennessee River. And “big catch” is exactly what oral cancer awareness has landed in the way of Jeanna, a very determined Chattanooga-based engineer and oral cancer survivor, who is clearly on a mission.
Prior to the 2.5 mile walk, the hundreds of participants listened to inspirational stories by five oral cancer survivors: Jeanna; Amber Oliger; William Pressley; ABC Channel 9 TV personality Marcia Kling; and Charlie Poor, who drove from Atlanta to attend the event. The event’s emcee was Cydney Miller, Mrs. Tennessee International, who is a loyal advocate of early cancer detection. Local sponsors of the walk included Bonefish Grill, the Tennessee Titans NFL football team, Chattanooga’s Memorial Hospital, and BMW of Chattanooga who made very generous donations to ensure the events success.
According to Jeanna, “Our walk was a wonderful opportunity for oral cancer survivors to meet, share stories and, most of all, learn that they’re not alone.” If anyone has a compelling story, it is Jeanna. A lifelong non-smoker, she was diagnosed with cancer in a lymph node on the right side of her neck in 2001. She underwent surgery to remove both the lymph node and her tonsils, where the disease had originally developed, hoping that her cancer was behind her. But the disease was not going to become a thing of the past.
She married Robert Richelson in 2002, but six months after her wedding, she was diagnosed again with cancer at the base of her tongue. Determined to get the best care possible for his wife, Robert quit his job and took his new bride to the world-renowned M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas for several months of treatment including six weeks of radiation therapy. The couple then returned to Chattanooga, where Jeanna received chemotherapy treatments for the remainder of the year. She was cancer-free for two years, but in early 2005 the cancer returned, this time in her thyroid. Jeanna and Robert headed back to M. D. Anderson for more radiation therapy. By the time the therapy was completed, Jeanna had been subjected to over 90 radiation treatments. Fortunately, they seem to have done the trick, as Jeanna has been cancer-free for four years.
In addition to an extremely supportive and caring husband, Jeanna has been blessed to have a very compassionate employer. “Both times I had to take a leave of absence to get treatment, Siskin Steel could not have been more understanding,” said Jeanna. “And each time my treatment was completed, I was welcomed back to my old position as if nothing had happened.”
Jeanna Richelson is fortunate to have a great husband and a great employer in her corner. And the cause of oral cancer awareness is fortunate to have Jeanna Richelson on its team. She is already planning her repeat of this event for 2011. “For all the things that the foundation does, from raising public awareness to sponsoring research, The Oral Cancer Foundation cannot fulfill our mission and reach our goals alone,” said Megan Cannon the operations manager for OCF. “Relationships with survivors and volunteers like Jeanna are a core component to seeing our goals of reducing the incidence and death rates from cancers of the mouth. Their passion and altruism to help others through events such as this will touch thousands of others, and help fund OCF in these tough economic times for non-profits.”
About the Oral Cancer Foundation: The Oral Cancer Foundation, founded by oral cancer survivor Brian R. Hill, is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public service charity that provides information, patient support, sponsorship of research, and advocacy related to this disease. Oral cancer is the largest group of those cancers which fall into the head and neck cancer category. Common names for it include such things as mouth cancer, tongue cancer, head and neck cancer, and throat cancer. It maintains a Web site at www.oralcancer.org, which receives millions of hits per month. At the forefront of this year's agenda, is the drive to promote solid awareness in the minds of the American public about the need to undergo an annual oral cancer screening, and an outreach to the dental community to provide this service as a matter of routine practice. There are two distinct pathways by which most people come to oral cancer. One is through the use of tobacco and alcohol, a long term historic problem and cause, and the other is through exposure to the HPV-16 virus (human papilloma virus version 16), a newly identified etiology, and the same one which is responsible for the vast majority of cervical cancers in women. Supporting the foundation's goals is a scientific advisory board composed of leading cancer authorities from varied medical and dental specialties, and from prominent educational, treatment, and research institutions in the United States.

The number of female smokers is higher in Nepal compared to other countries, especially from hilly and Himalayan regions. The trend has picked up in the form of a fad in the urban areas. Around 15,000 people die in Nepal every year due to consumption of tobacco related products. According to researcher there are 4000 kinds of chemicals in tobacco and they cause 25 kinds of diseases.

Recently I had attended a funeral of one of my relative. I was shocked to see his face as it was unrecognizable. His face had taken a horrifying shape around his mouth and the teeth areas.
On inquiring, I came to know that he was suffering from "Mouth Cancer". Further inquiry lead to me knowing that he was too much into Gutka addiction and was shocked hear that he used to sleep keeping a mouthful of Gutka in his mouth.
The scary visual led me to make this layout and I wish that people into this bad habit get rid of it ASAP.

According to TATA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL "There are about 7,00,000 new cases of cancers ever year in India out of which tobacco related cancers are about 3,00,000. About 2000 deaths a day in India is tobacco related."
The reason for such high prevalence of oral cancer in India was primarily because of the most common form of tobacco consumption is keeping the tobacco in mouth. Be it in the form of Gutka, Quid, snuff or misri and so on. Tobacco when kept in mouth leaches out carcinogens, which act on oral mucosa causing neoplastic changes. Habit of smoking is also equally dangerous. Tobacco contains potent carcinogens including Nitrosamines (nicotine), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, Nitrosodiethanolamine, Nitrosoproline, and polonium. Tobacco smoke contains carbon monoxide, Thiocyanate, hydrogen cyanide, nicotine and metabolites of these constituents.
Common form of tobacco consumption in India:
Gutka is a mixture of betel nut and chewing tobacco. It is extremely addictive and is apparently targeted at youngsters.
Quid is the mixture of tobacco and lime and extensively consumed in India.
The tobacco when kept in mouth leaches out carcinogens, which act on the mucosa causing precancerous lesions, which lead to cancer.
According to the B.B.C - 4 in 10 of all cancers in India are oral cancers.
This is because of extensive use of tobacco and betel quid.

History of toothbrushes
The history of toothbrush dates back to the times of Babylonians and Egyptians when they used the frayed end of twigs to clean their teeth. Several tooth sticks were found alongside their owners from the tombs of the ancient Egyptians. More than 3000 years ago, the Chinese developed chewing sticks made of tree #twigs. They used these twigs to freshen up their breaths.
The first #toothbrush of modern design was invented in England by William Addis in around 1780. The curved handle of the brush was made of cattle bone, while bristles were made using animal hair. The first three-row bristle toothbrush was designed in 1844.
People continued using natural-bristled toothbrushes for many years until Du Pont invented nylon. The invention of nylon resulted in the development of nylon-bristled toothbrushes in 1938. Toothbrushes having softer nylon bristles were developed in 1950. The first electric toothbrush was developed in 1939. In the US, the first electric toothbrush, #Broxodent, was developed in 1960.
Modern toothbrushes, both manual and electric, come in different shapes and sizes. Most of them have plastic molded handles and nylon bristles. The different styles of handles make it easy for the users to hold toothbrushes for easy brushing. Toothbrush bristles range from hard to soft. Toothbrush heads also vary in size to facilitate people of different ages with different preferences.
The basics of toothbrushes have not changed since the times of Egyptians until now. For instance, the handle grip and formation of bristles are the necessary factors that make a toothbrush effective. Modern-day toothbrushes focus more on ergonomics because the better you can hold your toothbrush, the more effectively you will be able to brush your teeth.
History of toothpaste
The history of #toothpaste is as old as that of toothbrushes. According to some evidence, Egyptians were the first to develop paste to clean their teeth thousands of years ago. Ancient Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and Indians are also known to have used toothpaste.
Ancient toothpaste used to have aimed at fulfilling the basic requirements, such as cleaning and whitening the teeth and freshening breath. These are the same properties as those in modern-day toothpaste. Ancient toothpaste, however, used entirely different ingredients. People used to combine ox hooves’ ashes and eggshells to make teeth cleaning powder. Greeks and Romans made more abrasive solutions by using crushed bones and oyster shells. Romans used to add charcoal and bark to add a little flavor to the powder to combat bad breath. Chinese used various ingredients, including ginseng, salt, and herbal mint.
The more modern toothpaste was first developed in the 1800s. Early versions of those toothpaste included chalk and soap. In England, betel nuts were added to the solution in the 1850s.
Before the 1850s, toothpaste was usually available in powdered form. In 1973, Colgate started producing toothpaste in the form of a paste and started selling it in jars. It was Colgate again that introduced toothpaste enclosed in tubes in the 1890s.
In 1945, soap in toothpaste was replaced by other ingredients, including sodium lauryl sulfate, which is a common ingredient in modern-day toothpaste.
Some big changes are in the works for tobacco companies. A new law requires that health warnings on cigarette packages and advertisements be bigger and bolder—and include images of the negative consequences of smoking. Now, the Food and Drug Administration is asking for public feedback on the images and the new, more pointed warnings.

Jason stood in the afternoon sun, the summer breeze gently caressing his face as he revelled in the golden radiance and warmth of the blissful sun rays. Two o'clock in the afternoon, exactly one hundred and fifty days, two hours and ten minutes from the moment of his premature and untimely death.
Of course he little realised this moment as anything other than the glorious fresh air and minutes stolen within a busy work schedule to take some time out for a Starbucks Skinny Late and a Marlboro that seduced his taste buds and sated his need for the euphoria of nicotine pulsing trough his veins. But this was indeed a momentous and significant moment, the one in fact when the cancer cells first erupted within his young body with the stealthy progress of the finest assassin, straight to the point, undetected by all and sundry as they left their mark forever in his life. The primary tumour slowly but surely, like a scene from 'Gremlins' when Gizmo has been splashed with water droplets, began to spawn secondary ones that located themselves around Jasons body.
Twenty nine years old, a life of exploration and enlightenment ahead of him, the life and soul of any party to which he was invited, adored by women of all ages, some men too if the truth be told. Jason was intelligent and charismatic, assured and brimming with the sort of self confidence that had a positive effect on anyone who was in the same vicinity, witty and charming, a man's man with a rough East London demeanour that was polished to perfection, and box fresh. Alcohol and nicotine, fast cars and loose women, carpe diem before life passes you by, the mans philosophy on life and the living of it. But those dashing good looks would alter somewhat within the course of the next five months as invasive procedures relieved him of both the hair on his head and the skin on the roof of his mouth. Carcinogenic toxins riding roughshod over the arteries within his flesh, a lifelong cocktail of Carbon monoxide that restricted the blood cells from carrying oxygen to the organs, tar, nicotine, formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT amongst the four hundred ingredients in each and every draw on the lips and exhalation from the mouth.
The seed had long been sown for his imminent demise, those morning runs to flex the muscles and keep his Adonis like body in the greatest of shape had become more arduous than his formative years, breath shortened, heart pumping unusually fast and deep, palpitations and perspiration followed by the need to crash for a while as a means of recovery. Could the inset of the thirties really be as bad as he had been warned by friends and relatives? Jason refused to accept that moving out of his twenties and into the great uncharted territory of an age that as a child he did not believe existed, could affect the mind and body to such a degree. A lack of concentration, deals lost through apathy and lethargy in equally frustrating doses, the cough that would not shift despite a plethora of drugs and concoctions, and the back ache that persisted despite expensive visits to the Harley Street practitioner. Old Reaper himself was sharpening his scythe, but Jason seemed strangely immune to the gravity of his situation.
Teenage years are so hard on a kid as his peers put pressure upon him to conform and adhere to codes that pass down from generation to generation. A ten a day habit, bumming fags from schoolmates, hiding the evidence from disapproving parents, soon blossomed into twenty a day by those college years. Alcohol and nicotine, staple diet of the eternal adolescent, the joys of curiosity as Ganja entered his life and coke his nostrils that flared and flailed in delirious delight. Those halcyon days of youth, sweet memories in the library of mind and heart to the man now grasping his chest as yet another cough rose up within, seemingly from the very pits of his boots to be expelled like an erupting volcano much to the displeasure of those sharing the designated smoking spot outside the corporate concrete and stifled glass. Hand to mouth, eyes disbelieving the fact that haemoptysis had come knocking on the door to his life, tiny specs of blood that spattered his flesh as he quickly made clean the evidence and wished for rhyme and reason other than the severity of ailment that the evidence suggested.
Two days until he would make a call to his local surgery, fifteen from his hospital visit, needle in left arm and a multitude of blood vile being catalogued and shipped down to the pathology department by the gap year student working part time with a face full of acne and aspirations of one day making the grade in medicine. Sixty three days from that fateful encounter with the grey haired professor in a quiet suite with a bulb that flicked and buzzed in the throes of it's own demise, and the bombshell that hit Jason as his ears were greeted with the news that all he was and ever would be had been condensed into the time capsule of those twenty nine years. Words such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy would soon fill his mind though he was was way passed palliative treatment as the tumours began to spread like a dark plague through his vital organs with aggressive stance and a distinct lack of compassion.
Standing in the sunlight now, yellow tinged eyes and nicotine stained fingers grasping the final embers of that seventh Marlboro of the morning, nursing the cough that would spiral into infection, the thought of quitting what had for so many years become a forty a day habit could not be further from his mind. Well, life is short and you have to live it on the ragged edge don't you, take chances, gamble with the numbers. After all, what's in a number anyway.......

Hear the calling, feel the burn
Within your stomach how you yearn
To rid yourself of all the stress
To calm the day, this god damn mess
The working day is peppered by
Those little breaks, how your heart flies
You're watching hands and counting seconds
Oh nicotine, Utopia beckons
Outcast, Leper, on your own
Forced out to the the smoking zone
Standing there come rain or shine
Huddled cattle, focussed minds
You gotta have your latest fix
Let the break time chime come quick
Your mouth is dry and lips are pursed
Must feed addiction, sate this curse
Packet open, fingers ready
Matches lit and holding steady
Shaking hands and brain on task
The nicotine invades at last
Break the habit, beat the need
A dozen times you've sown that seed
But life gets in the way and then
You're bumming smokes from friends again
Don't matter if it's minus twenty
Out you go and puffing plenty
Rain or snow it's no concern
Just light one up and watch it burn
Yellow stains upon your fingers
On your breath the foul stench lingers
Ignoring common sense and health
Live forever, who needs wealth
You scorn the crack heads, drunkards too
You cannot see they're just like you
Craving, longing, caught and hooked
An early grave for all is booked
Your clothing wreaks of old ash tray
It's in your skin, won't go away
Your eyes are yellow, cough persists
Bang your head, and slash your wrists
You've tried the gum and worn the patches
Your wife has hidden all your matches
But still you fall under it's spell
You're feeble, weak as time it tells
Vehicle windows, flicking butts
Leave a trail of filth, numb-nuts
The tide has turned, we've laid the trap
No longer shall we breathe your crap
You're buzzing now, your bloodstream flowing
High again and still not knowing
Pay your money, feed that need
Sense and reason never heed
A one way ticket to the clinic
Body riddled, disease in it
It's you life you make the choice
Without your throat you'll have no voice
.

On Saturday, November 6th, the Pinellas County Dental Hygienists, organized their first Oral Cancer Walk/Run. With over 175 walkers/runners, they were able to raise over $8500 for their first event!! Congratulations to all who participated and volunteered. Even though it was in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida, it was a very chilly day!! In addition to food and water donated by local vendors, free oral cancer screenings were also conducted. There was a 1 mile Fun Run/Walk as well!!! It was a great day and there will certainly be another event planned for next year. If anyone is interested in volunteering, donating or sponsoring this event, please contact Kimmeuy Phane at pkimmeuy@aol.com
