Creating confident smiles since 1982. Alexander Trenton, DD, F.C.A.D. (A) Denturist Georgetown Denture Clinic, 18 Church Street, Georgetown, Ontario (905) 877-2359 (Across from the Library and Cultural Centre) Tooth Chatter DENTAL MATERIALS Charles Goodyear invented a denture base material back in the mid 1800s. This material was called Vulcanite. Vulcanite is a dark brown, semi-rigid rubber. Since then, denture base materials have come a long way, and vast changes and improvements have been made. Today very modern plastics and acrylics are used. The artificial teeth on a denture were made from such materials as bone and ivory. Precious metals such as gold and silver were also tried. Even wood was used to make teeth! Finally, porcelain and plastic teeth have replaced the former materials. Weve come a long way since the days of wooden teeth. Denture technology has been vastly improved for denture wearers, and they are continually discovering new techniques and materials. Today, more than 5 million Canadian adults are wearing dentures. Thats more than one out of every four people in Canada! You do not need a referral; simply call our office direct for an appointment. By Cory Soal R.H.A.D. . . . Lend Me Your Ears We care about your hearing! Professional Arts Building 99 Sinclair Ave., Suite 210 Georgetown (905) 873-6642 Noise induced hearing loss is insidious because its invisible; we dont necessarily know its happening to us and the damage is permanent. The two factors that cause no ise induced hearing loss are the intensity of sound and the duration of sound - often we dont protect ourselves from either. We risk permanent hear ing loss when we re regular ly exposed to sounds of 110 decibels or greater - a power saw, a rock and roll concert - for more than one minute at a time. Exposure to such noise is like wearing a path through a fine carpet: your inner ear contains minute hair cells which help transmit sound to your brain, and every loud sound or session with the leaf blower is similar to parading heavy feet back and forth on those hairs. Eventually, the wear and tear is permanent and cant be reversed. Several studies indicate this wear and tear is showing up at younger ages, due mainly to the noise we listen to for fun. A study of 15 -23-year olds by researchers recently confirmed higher levels of hearing loss among youth due to exposure to rock concerts, discos, car and home stereos and Walkmans. Of course, you can sustain as much damage listening to Beethoven as Oasis if you pump up the volume.
