Englewood....can you hear me?

Hearing health plays a critical role in people’s overall health and well-being. Untreated hearing loss can affect a person’s ability to stay connected to friends and family, contributing to social isolation, higher risk of falling and lower income.

For people experiencing hearing loss, local audiologist Jyoti Juneja is offering free hearing tests, by appointment, to Englewood residents.

People can go to hiHealthInnovations.com or call 1-855-523-9355 to schedule a hearing test or hearing aid fitting.

broken tooth/lost filling/crown

What is up with Dentists? During the past several months we had a few dental emergencies that had to wait for up to 4 days because the family dentist had no backup lined up and could not be bothered while his colleges refused to step in because it was not their patient. We suggested that the answering service could give some useful hints on how to bridge the gap. "we are very sorry but that too is against protocol".

We are not Dentists, however this is what we found on the Internet for a common problem.

Lost crown

If the crown falls off, make an appointment to see your dentist as soon as possible and bring the crown with you. If you can't get to the dentist right away and the tooth is causing pain, use a cotton swab to apply a little clove oil to the sensitive area (clove oil can be purchased at your local drug store or in the spice aisle of your grocery store). If possible, slip the crown back over the tooth. Before doing so, coat the inner surface with an over-the-counter dental cement, toothpaste, or denture adhesive, to help hold the crown in place. Do not use super glue!
