feet and weighs 1,250 tons.
“It’s going to be the finest high school sta-
dium in the country, and I think it’s going to
be the finest professional football facility as
well,” Jones said.
The Cowboys left Valley Ranch this week
to open camp in Oxnard, Calif. Next year
when the team does that, it will be for the
final time, Jones said.
By the time camp ends in California next
year, the headquarters and new training fa-
cilities should be ready for the team’s return
to Texas, he said.
That doesn’t mean the team’s training
camp travels will come to an end.

MORE THAN JUST SCRAPING BY
Tf you are not a fan of dreaded “morning breath” (and who is?),
Lthere is a very simple and effective way to banish it. Along
with brushing and flossing, many people are embracing the
Ayurvedic self-care ritual known as “tongue scraping.” This oral
hygiene practice involves using an inexpensive tongue scraper to remove bacteria, food
debris, fungi, toxins, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue. As a result of re-
moving this virtual compost layer of unwanted debris from the surface of the tongue,
and especially bacteria at the back of the tongue that toothbrushes find difficult to reach,
a source of halitosis (bad breath) is eliminated. Moreover, tongue scraping may also
improve the way food tastes.
Do you scrape your tongue? At the office of RICHARD SEIDLER, DD.S. - FAM-
ILY DENTISTRY, we provide high-quality customer service and work to educate our
patients about improving their dental health. All of our patients are individuals, and as
such will achieve their goals in different ways and at different paces. Our office is lo-
cated at 5000 Main Street at South Colony Boulevard, Suite 206, The Colony.
Please call 972.625.2222 to schedule your next dental checkup. Let us help you keep
that winning smile. Most dental insurance ac-
cepted.
P.S. A white film on the top of the tongue is an
indication of the presence of bacteria.
