LIP AND CHEEK BITING Lip and cheek biting (from the in-

side) is mostly found in kids and young grown-ups. It can be caused by: nerv- ousness; trauma from an accident; bad fillings rubbing on the cheek or tongue; or a bad bite in which the cheek is bitten every time you chew.

Generally, this is discovered be- cause the wound is either painful, bleeding or both. The treatment is partly your responsibility and partly the dentist's. The dentist can correct the problem caused by an accident, bad filling, or a bad bite. If the problem is caused by nervous chewing (asleep or awake), you're going to have to work

on your head, find out why you think it is happening (source) and stop doing what's causing it. Perhaps your girl- friend or boss is hassling you. You could just be sleeping in an awkward position.

As for the immediate pain or trauma, you can rinse with hydrogen peroxide, salt water or both. Just, please make sure you eliminate the real cause of the problem.

Winter driving tips include: •Wear your seat belt, and make

sure your children are buckled up.

•Remember that ice forms first on bridges, overpasses and shady areas. If you hit a patch of ice, stay off your brakes and decelerate slowly, holding the car steady as you go over the ice.

•Speed is the main problem with driving on ice. Adjust your speed to fit the weather conditions. Keep a safe distance from the car in front of you.

•If your car goes into a skid, take yourfoot off thegas pedal butdon'thit the brake. Steer gently in the direction you want the front of the car to go. As the car straightens out, you will be able to regain traction and control.

•Check you car battery before cold weather sets in. Battery power dips in cold weather. .

•Keep blankets, a first-aid kit, flares, jumper cables, tire chains, a flashlight, ice scraper and gloves in your car. Take a food supply of candy bars or dried fruit in case you become stranded.

•Keep the gasoline level as high as possible or prevent condensation in the tank.

•Check the automobile's motor oil, transmission fluid, ignition sys- tem, lights, heater, cooling system and wipers.
