Tooth Chatter 13 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday, July 20, 2010 DISCOVER YOUR DENTURIST DENTURISTS SERVE YOU DIRECTLY For many years Denturists have been licensed to DIRECTLY offer you a full range of denture services at a cost that puts dentures within the reach of more people. We are the only profession spending 100% of our day specializing in the fabrication of dentures and counselling of denture patients. A popular MISCONCEPTION is that we work for dentists. Dental labs do work for dentists. Denturists work independently and do their own denture lab work, for their own patients. So if you didn't come to our office, then we didn't make or fix your dentures. CONSULTATIONS ARE ALWAYS FREE If your dentures are loose, bothersome or damaged; fear not. Our office will help you examine your options. We do not charge for consultations. You do not need a referral; simply call our office to make an appointment. Creating confident smiles since 1982.

We all know that distractions are a dangerous combination and common part of driving on today's congested roadways. Any way to lessen the number of distractions faced daily would greatly help one to focus on the task at hand, and get on with their day. At the Georgetown Hearing Clinic, we do not condone the use of cell phones while driving, but when absolutely necessary, a hands free device, such as a speaker phone, line OnstarTM or a bluetooth connected earpiece can be very useful and help reduce distraction - not to mention allow the driver the use of both hands. At The Georgetown Hearing Clinic, we provide a wide variety of custom fit and non custom fit bluetooth hands free devices.
