Do you have a teen
or pre-teen loved one that suffers from drug and/or alcohol abuse?
"Underage drinking presents an enormous public health issue. Alcohol
is the drug of choice among children and adolescents. Annually, about 5,000
youth under age 21 die from motor vehicle crashes, other unintentional injuries,
and homicides and suicides that involve underage drinking."
"In 2006, 1.4 million youth ages 12 to 17 needed treatment for an alcohol
problem. Of this group, only 101,000 of them received any treatment at a
specialty facility."

ANOREXIA AND BULEMIA HEALTH CONCERNS
Eating disorders are real, complex, and devastating conditions
that can have serious consequences for health, productivity,
and relationships.
Anorexia and Bulimia can increase dental problems, as a result
of poor nutrition. Bulimia or the purging aspect of an eating
disorder, causes an increase of acid on the gums and teeth,
which can lead to increased dental problems.
Laxative abuse is serious and dangerous - often resulting in
a variety of health complications and sometimes causing life-threatening
risks.
It is important to seek help if you are a teen struggling with
Eating Disorders. If you are the friend or family member of
