There are a variety of situations that require a tooth to be restored with a dental crown. The following are the most common: Large filling: When a tooth has a cavity or fracture that involves half the width of the tooth or more, it needs to be covered with a crown. This is because the remaining tooth around the large filling is so weak that it is prone to fracture. Sometimes a large filling that has been in the mouth for a while will need to be replaced with a crown because the tooth shows signs of stress and cracks around the filling.
How marijuana affects the mind. Marijuana reaches the same pleasure centers in the brain that are targeted by heroin, cocaine and alcohol. Depending on the quantity, quality and method of consumption, marijuana can produce a feeling of euphoria â or high â by stimulating brain cells to release the chemical dopamine.
Short-Term Effects. Almost immediately after first smoking marijuana the effects begin and may continue as long as two or three hours. A burning sensation in the mouth, a dry throat, bloodshot eyes and increased appetite are common.
