ANOOP SAYAL Family and Cosmetic Dentistry located in Georgetown Marketplace Mall A: Affordability is a major concern for many. Keep in mind that thecost of retirement homes usually includes all meals, utilities and many services. You will no longer have to pay for hydro, heating costs, groceries, services such as meals on wheels, and help in the home and yard. Municipal taxes on your home will no longer be part of your budget and there will probably be a difference in your house insurance. The first step, therefore, is to calculate all available resources. If you live in your own home, get the expert advice of a professional to appraise its value. (If you have lived in your home for any length of time, you may be very pleasantly surprised.) The next step is to determine a monthly budget and if needed, enlist the help of family members or a professional such as your bank advisor. There are many residences from which to choose with many options available.Your may be very pleasantly surprised at what you can afford. Q: I am planning to move into a retirement home.How do I know what I can afford? A: ToothacheFirst call your dentist. Explain your symptoms and ask to be seen as soon as possible.Then ease the pain.Take an over-the-counter pain medicine that works for you, but do not put the pills on your sore tooth. Hold an ice pack against your face at the spot of the sore tooth. Do not put a heating pad, a hot water bottle, or any other source of heat on your jaw. Heat will make things worse instead of better. Chipped or broken tooth Broken teeth can almost always be saved. Call your dentist and explain what happened. He or she will see you right away. If it's a small break, your dentist may use a white filling to fix the tooth. If the break is serious, a root canal may be needed.Your tooth may also need a crown (also called a cap). Knocked out tooth If the knocked-out tooth is an adult (or permanent) tooth, your dentist may be able to put it back.You must act quickly. If the tooth is put back in place within 10 minutes, it has a fair chance of taking root again. After 2 hours, the chances are poor. If the tooth looks clean, put it back in its place (its socket). If this is not possible, or if there's a chance that the tooth might be swallowed, put it in a container of cold milk. Go to your dentist, or to the nearest dentist, right away. If you get help within ten minutes, there is a fair chance that the tooth will take root again. Q: What do I do for a Dental Emergency: A: Acupuncture is well known for it's ability to relieve pain and tohelp manage chronic pain disorders. It has been shown to stimulate the production of endorphins (chemicals that block pain), neutralize trigger points, relax muscles, and block the transmission of pain signals to the brain. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views pain as a result of a blockage of the normally smooth flow of Qi through the body's circulation pathways. Qi is the energy that nourishes every cell, tissue, organ, and system in the body.When it is obstructed due to injury, stress, or disease, it accumulates on one side of the blockage and is deficient on the other side. According to TCM theory, Acupuncture relieves pain by moving the Qi and is effective at treating muscle, bone, and joint pain. The combination of traditional acupuncture techniques with modern motor point needling is extremely effective in the treatment of sports injuries due to trauma, over- training, or repetitive strain.
