A a AD ear Worried: * * Whenever these dreaded words are spoken people canal treatment was somewhat primitive and sometimes My dentist informed me that I require "Root Canal Therapy." What is this? What can I expect? Signed: Worried 4th A nn ualA thena A w ard Thursday, October 5th Speaker: Dr. Richard Heinzl Founder, Canadian Chapter of Doctors Without Borders To ord er tickets call: turn white! This is due to the fact that years ago, root resulted in a less than satisfactory result, which was of great concern to patients. When a tooth re c c e s a blow, sustains a large cavity, or a deep filling, the nerve and blood vessel down the hollow centre of the root can become infected and die. This can cause pain, swelling and jawbone infection. The only way to remove this infection (besides removing the tooth) is to use sophisticated instruments to cleanse the canal(s) and then seal the space with a special rubber-like compound. (Think of removing the lead from the middle of a pencil). You may experience some post-treatment discomfort for a few days, but nothing like it was "in the old days!" In fact, most of our patients report no significant problems at all! So stop being "Worried." Hope this helps. escord@idirect.com, sjr@istar.ca www.intow nguide.com /ydo.

NAUM ETZ 1 9 3 0 C f c ^ Physician W h at is Botox? Botox is the trade name o f Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In large amounts, this toxin blocks the nerve impulses to muscles, causing a form of paralysis called botulism. By using extremely small doses of Botox, injected directly into a specific muscle only the action o f that muscle will be paralysed. Therefore the problem that muscle causes, like a twitch, spasm or frown line will be stopped. A , My spouse has earned little or no income in the last few years. If my spouse and I separate, how is spousal support determined? A Spousal support is determined on the need of the person " requesting support and the ability of the payor to provide support. For example, if the payor earns $30,000.00 gross per year, the amount of spousal support would be far less than if the payor earned $100,000.00 per year. If your spouse earned some income, he or she may be entitled to lop up" support The length of spousal support depends on the length of the mar riage. For a marriage under six years, spousal support is usually payable for a limited length of time. A marriage over nine years is usually deemed to be a long term marriage and support sometimes may not be time limited and could cease only if the recipient cohabits with someone else, remarries or dies. Spousal support is deductible for tax purposes for the payor and the recipient must pay taxes to Revenue Canada on the support received. It should be noted that the Family Law Act requires the person receiving support to use his or her best ability to become self sufficient by retraining and/or obtaining employment.

Cfc W ill it last? A The actual treatment takes only a few minutes and the Botox takes effect in three to four days. Gradually over three to five months the Botox effect will fade, and the muscle action will return. When the frown line starts to reappear, a simple repeat treatment is all that is necessary to maintain the desired result. # a A , Can B otox be used for w rinkles other than frow n lines? A H Botox is also effective in the treatment o f crows feet, forehead ft wrinkles, and neck folds. C fc Are there side effects? 9 The therapy should be done only by a physician trained in the use o f Botox. The side effects o f Botox are relative to the local injection o f the solution. Is it costly? It is less costly than most things we do to pamper ourselves, with treatments as low as $100.
