Has it been a while, since we've seen your smile?We recommend a check-up yearly as preventative maintenance to ensure that your gums are healthy and your dentures are fitting well. Over time, your mouth goes through considerable changes, such as tissue shrinkage and loss of underlying bone support. Your check-up will include: medical history, update; checking your denture for fit, stability, cracks, chips, scratches, worn or loose teeth; an oral exam for detection of tissue inflammation or abnormalities. Having a healthy mouth plays an important part of a healthy body. Your yearly check-up for preventative maintenance is one of the many ways of keeping the goal of optimum health. Remember: at our office your visit is always complimentary! Because nothing is as important as your health, make the time you deserve. Your smile will thank you for it! Call our office for an appointment today. REGULAR CHECK-UPS A candle left lit in a bedroom caused a $150,000 house fire on Christmas Day. Occupants of a single family home on Church St. West in Acton called 911 after being alerted to a bedroom fire by a smoke alarm. On arrival Halton Hills Fire Depart- ment crews found flames shooting out of the window of a bedroom at the front of the home, but the eight occupants of the home had safely escaped. The male and female homeowners were taken to hospital for smoke inhala- tion from attempting to extinguish the fire as well as a firefighter suffering physical stress fighting the fire. All were releaseda short time later. At the same time, Georgetown firefight- ers responded to the Bennett Galleria on Halton Hills Dr. after a fire alarm activa- tion. When fire crews arrived carbon mon- oxide (CO) readings were found higher than acceptable and immediately began ventilation procedures for every floor and individual apartment. Residents were gathered in the ground floor common area. While ventilating the structure, fire crews found a roof top heat exchanger unit was malfunctioning and as part of that the CO was inadvertently being pushed through the building. Once disconnected, ventilation practices continued and condi- tions improved. Even though the one heat exchanger was out of service, the building continued to be heated and each apartment had its own heating system so there is no negative impact to the residents until the appropri- ate repairs are completed. All residents were allowed to return to their rooms once their floor and individual apartments were cleared of the CO levels. As a precaution only, one male resident was taken to Georgetown Hospital be- cause he was showing minor symptoms of CO inhalation but was later released. "At both these incidents, detection de- vices for smoke and carbon monoxide alerted residents to dangerous situations and were responsible for saving lives," said Mayor Rick Bonnette, in a press release on Boxing Day.
