Who would have

thought back in

September 1963 that

Gloria Frances would be making

history, still tapping away 50 yearslater? After thousands of students

and a reputation as one of

North Jerseys premiere

dance schools, the Gloria

Frances School of

Performing Arts is proud

to be celebrating its

50th season.

Gloria began danc-

ing at age of three at

many venues, including

the famous Steel Pier inAtlantic City. Gloria was the

recipient of many scholarship

awards, with which she furthered

her education in New York City

with such greats as Luigi, Frank

Hatchett and Bob Audy. It was

during this time she realized she

had a love for teaching dance.

This love inspired her to open her

own dancing school at the age of

18. In September 1963, in the

Preakness Shopping Center,

Gloria began influencing and

sharing her love of dance for the

children of Wayne and the

surrounding areas.

Over the years, she has been

an inspiration and a positive role

model for many of her students.

They have gone on to perform in

Broadway musicals and hit TVshows, and many have even

opened their own dancing stu-

dios.

I want my students to

feel that they are part of

a special family here at

the school. Whether

youre a recreational

dancer or an aspiring

dancer, everyone is

always welcome at our

school, said Frances. Ivebeen very fortunate. My

husband Joe Zisa and my sons

Ron and Tim have always allowed

me to share my dance family with

them.

And a family feeling it is!

Her son Ron has been the busi-

ness administrator of the school

since 1994. The teaching staff is

made up of an ensemble of profes-

sional choreographers and experi-

enced teachers, including

Stefania Alves, Jessica DeMarco,Christan Meyer, Jacqui and

Trisha Tookmanian, and Erica

Zisa, who have all been with

Gloria since the age of three.

Its a great place to be, said

Ron. Everybody here loves what

they do and it shows.

The Gloria Frances School

of Performing Arts is also home

to the award winning dance

troupe, Dance Edition. Formed by

Gloria in 1985, the DanceEdition is a highly competitive

group that has given the studio

recognition both nationally and

regionally. They won the 2013

Presidents Cup Award and

National Champions at the

Dance Educators of America

Spa 23 Swim School

Swim School is a connuous weekly swim instrucon program designed to

offer children an opportunity to learn and master the fundamentals of

swimming at their own pace. Constantly measuring the progress of each

individual student, the instructor will guide students through the various levelsof Swim School unl swimming competency has been achieved.

Many unlicensed,

u n p r o f e s s i o n a l ,

unqualified people

within the financial services

profession, along with the

media, have rendered inaccu-

rate and negative opinionsabout annuities. These opin-

ions are sometimes picked up

and espoused on TV, radio, in

newsprint and taken as gospel

by many unsuspecting mem-

bers of the public. For these

and other reasons, far too

many people have a misguided

opinion about these magnifi-

cent retirement vehicles

designed to produce, sustain

and guarantee an income forthe rest of a persons life, and

his spouses life, if so elected. If

you are one of these people,

please invest a few minutes toread this for some enlighten-

ment that may positively

impact your financial life.

First, a few facts.

1.Only an annuity can guaran-

tee you an income for the rest

of your life. No other invest-

ment has this characteristic.

The guarantee is based on the

claims-paying ability of theinsurance company selected.

The insurance company is fur-

ther backed up by the state in

which the company is domi-

ciled, as well as the state in

which the purchase was made,

if different. (State guarantees

have limitations and should be

investigated and understood

fully before investing. Any

competent agent or represen-

tative can obtain this informa-tion for you.)

2.All annuities have a death

benefit principal guarantee,

even those that allow for

investments directly into stock

and bond funds, which have

the potential for decline.

These death benefit guarantees

have optional language, if

selected, that offer guaranteed

annual increases in the deathbenefit payout even if perform-

ance causes a decline in value.

The best part is that there is no

medical qualification to secure

this feature.

3.Annuities offer living benefit

riders that allow for a com-

pounded annual increase in a

withdrawal or income base

which, in turn, enhances the

guaranteed annual lifetimeincome stream when the client

elects to receive it. This is

called a roll-up feature.

4.Variable annuities also offerliving benefit riders that will

set the withdrawal base to the

highest yearly, quarterly,

monthly or even daily value

that will determine the life-

time income. So if the market

causes your annuity value to

decline just before you retire or

want to initiate withdrawals

from your contract, the with-

drawal calculation will be

based on the best anniversaryyour annuity ever had! In

other words, your annual

income will never be affected

by market declines and is guar-

anteed for life!

5.Some Annuities offer

enhanced payout benefits

should the annuitant enter a

nursing home, suffer cognitive

impairment or be unable to

perform some of the activitiesof daily living, like bathing,

feeding, dressing, continence

or transferring from room to

room. Some even offerenhanced death benefits in

addition to living benefits.

Better optional riders offer

both!

6.Traditional fixed and fixed

indexed annuities both pay a

lifetime minimum guaranteed

rate of interest that grows tax-

deferred until withdrawn.

Variable annuities are mutual

fund-like investments thatoffer greater growth potential

than the other two annuity

types, but have the potential

for decline in value unlike the

other two. However, with a

death benefit guarantee as well

as a joint lifetime-income rider

and tax deferral, variable

annuities are a far superior

alternative to mutual funds.

If you desire no marketrisk whatsoever and wish to

receive an annual report that is

always worth more than the

previous one, a traditional

fixed annuity (TFA) is for you.

For accepting a return that

would never be negative in a

declining stock market, but a

rate of return that has the

potential to be significantly

higher than a TFA in periods

of a rising stock market, a fixed

indexed annuity (FIA) is for

you. If you desire the upside

benefits of various equity and

bond funds without the agony

of a reduced income if the mar-

kets falter, plus a guarantee of a

never-ending income streamfor as long as you and your

spouse survive, a variable

annuity (VA) with a living

benefit rider is for you.

Which would I recom-

mend for your portfolio desig-

nated for producing lifetime

retirement income necessary

to survive and prosper? My

answer is all three! Who

wouldnt desire unlimited

upside potential with nodownside risk to their income

(VA)? Who would balk at a

daily guarantee of interest

(TFA) or the ability to profit

in a rising market while

exempting the losses in a

downward cycle (FIA)?

Some negative prognosti-

cators would argue that all of

that guaranteed language costs

a fortune in fees and hinders

performance. However, if theguaranteed benefits purchased

were ever needed because your

accounts ran out of money,

how expensive were they?

Even with no money left in

your account, the highest guar-

anteed income continues to be

deposited into your checkbook

each and every month.Withdrawing money

from your portfolio during

negative market cycles creates

a sinking fund. The TFA and

FIA do not experience losses

from negative markets and the

VA which may decline

offers a lifetime income guar-

antee that will never reduce or

cease until you and your

spouse cease. When compared

to any other stock market-based alternative when sys-

tematically withdrawing, there

always exists the possibility of

running out of funds except in

a properly structured VA,

where that would be impossi-

ble. Remember that IRAs due

to the required minimum dis-

tribution rules are guaranteed

sinking funds. Live long

enough and the government

ensures you that they will bedepleted. But with a living

benefit rider on your IRA

annuity, when the account is

depleted the income continues

anyway and at the highest

level it ever was! Where are

those negative pundits now?

To continue this topic of

conversation and to learn awhole lot more with written

evidence and proof of the

statements made herein, please

call me for a no-cost and no-

obligation appointment. Your

portfolio will thank you!

Astory unfolds nearly

every week at Boston

Louis Jewelers in

Pequannock.

Being in the estate-buy-ing business for over 25 years,

youd think we would have

seen everything a jeweler can

see, said co-owner Bud Mazzo.

But its not true! We are still

constantly surprised!

Its a common occurrence

for someone to come in with an

inherited jewelry box full to the

brim with who-knows-what.

They usually feel there is noth-

ing of value and were about to

throw it away, but they almostalways find something interest-

ing. While the majority is usu-

ally old plastic costume jewelry,

we often find coins from the

1800s, Art Deco and Art

Nouveau pieces, and antique

pocket watches. There are

always gold and silver items,

and things that are gold-filled,

which is about the same price

as sterling silver.

Some folks are looking to

know what they have, whileothers want to sell items that

have no sentimental value to

help pay bills. Either way,

Boston Louis doesnt charge for

the analysis, as the adventure is

always so much fun!

Co-owner Ken Boston

The main differences

are: Strength of

bleaching agent. For

starters, over-the-counter home

use products and dentist-super-

vised at-home products usually

contain a lower strength-

bleaching agent (from 10%

carbamide peroxide-which is

equivalent to about 3 percent

hydrogen peroxide and up to

22% carbamide peroxide). In-office, professionally applied

tooth whitening products con-

tain hydrogen peroxide in con-

centrations ranging from 15 to

43 percent.

Mouthpiece trays. With den-

tist-supervised at-home bleach-

ing products, your dentist will

take an impression of your

teeth and make a mouthpiece

tray that is customized to exact-ly fit your teeth. This cus-

tomization allows for maximum

contact between the whitening

gel, which is applied to the

mouthpiece tray, and the teeth.

A custom-made tray also mini-

mizing the gels contact with

gum tissue. Over-the-counter

whitening products do contain

a mouthpiece tray, but the

one-size-fits-all approach

means that the fit will not be

exact. Ill-fitting trays can irri-

tate the gum and soft tissue by

allowing more bleaching gel toseep onto these tissues. With

in-office procedures, the

bleaching agent is applied

directly to the teeth.

Additional protective meas-

ures. In the office setting, your

dentist will apply either a gel to

the gum tissue or use a rubber

shield (which slides over the

teeth) prior to treatment to

protect your gums and oral cav-ity from the effects of the

bleaching. Over-the-counter

products dont provide these

extra protective measures.

Speed of the bleaching

process. Dentist-supervised at-

home bleaching and over-the-

counter bleaching products

typically need to be applied

every day for 1 or 2 hours or

every overnight for up to 4

weeks. In-office bleaching pro-vides the quickest and most

effective way to whiten teeth.

With in-office bleaching, the

whitening product is applied

directly to the teeth. These

products can be used in combi-

nation with heat, a special

light, and/or a laser. The light

and/or heat accelerate the

whitening process. Results are

seen in only 1, 30- to 60-

minute treatment. To achievedramatic results, however, sev-

eral appointments are usually

recounts a funny story: A long-

time client of Boston Louis

whose grandmother had passed

on and was left two large stor-

age bins of junk. She had

been mortified to bring it in to

have analyzed because it wasthe embarrassing evidence that

her grandmother had been one

of those folks who stayed up

late, ordering jewelry from

cable TV shows at an

unhealthy frequency.

The client said that if the

channel offered a ring for sale,

her grandmother would order it

in every color stone available,

and then she never even

opened the boxes when theywere delivered. Eventually the

channel banned this woman

from buying any more jewelry,

so the grandmother would then

buy it through a friend. The

clients family was horrified.

The analysis of the bins

took nearly four hours, but mid-

way through, Boston noticed

through looking at the old

invoices that many of the items

purchased were done beforegold and silver had skyrocket-

ed. As horrified as the client

was, much of her grandmothers

jewelry was now worth about

30 percent more than she had

paid for it! If the grandmother

had put her money into smartthings like real estate or stocks,

she would have lost money. So

you never know!

Ihear from people that they

are great networkers

because they attended

three events last week. Sorry,

but networking has nothing to

do with how many events you

attend. The only definition of

networking is how many sales

leads you gave out to other

people that they closed in

sales and then received pay-

ment. Results are the only

thing that matters. Everything

else is just you being a sales

person.

By generating a sales

lead that someone else

closed in business and was

paid you created a need for

someone to find you business.

And the greater the ratio of

given versus received, the

greater the pressure on the

other person because you are

going to find someone else to

give leads to in the same

industry if they dont step up

their game.

Someone handing you a

business card without them

warming up the person to you

calling their contact is a waste

of your time. Yes, something

may happen, but the chances

are so small that you can

spend your time doing some-

thing better. You would be

better off contacting your cur-

rent customers to see how

they are doing. If you have

been performing great, it

would be a good time to ask

for a referral. And if not, it is a

chance to fix a problem.

I work with a used car

salesman. At networking

events he would talk about

getting you in another car. He

was not successful. I con-

vinced him to mention cars

for five seconds, then talk

about opening his variety of

connections and how much

business he has brought to

others. Now at the end of

meetings, everyone wants to

talk to him. When was the

last time you saw everyone at

a networking meeting run to

talk to a used car salesman? If you would like more

information on how to net-

work successfully, and on great

upcoming networking events,

please visit 24-7 Networking

Sales at www.join24-7.com or

call 973-697-8872.

You plot the fastest route

to your clients office

with an on-board navi-

gation system. You use a hands-

free cell phone to leave last-

minute instructions for your

staff on the way to the meet-

ing. Your computer, presenta-

tion materials and an extra

shirt are in the back seat. In

short, your vehicle is your

office on wheels.

Its also a tax deduction.

Heres what you need to

know to reap the benefits.

Overview: You can deduct

auto expenses when you own

or lease a vehicle and use it for

business. Deliveries to cus-

tomers, traveling to business

meetings, and trips to the

office supply store qualify as

business use. Commuting gen-

erally doesnt, even if you dis-

cuss work on your phone while

stuck in traffic.

The rules: You have two alter-

natives for calculating the

deduction: actual costs or the

standard mileage rate. If you

choose standard mileage in the

first year you use a vehicle you

own for business, you can usu-

ally switch to actual costs in

later years. Choosing standard

mileage for a leased vehicle

locks you in to that method for

the term of the lease.

Whats deductible? Under the

actual cost method, deductible

costs include depreciation,

maintenance, gasoline, taxes,

insurance, parking fees, and

interest expense.

The standard mileage rate

for business use during 2013 is

56.5 cents per mile. In addi-

tion, you can deduct the busi-

ness portion of parking fees,

tolls, certain taxes and, if

youre self-employed, interest

on your vehicle loan.

How to benefit: Maintain a

log of business and personal

mileage and keep receipts.

Having both lets you pick the

method that generates the

largest tax deduction.

Call us if you would like

additional information on

taxes and business driving.

Some people prefer cats,

while others loyalty lies

with dogs. Dogs and cats

have different personalities,

which is what draws people to

them for one reason or anoth-

er. Though different, cats and

dogs alike need to visit the vet-

erinarian for routine checkups.

Still, it seems dogs head to the

vet more frequently than cats.

Organizations like the

American Association of

Feline Practitioners and others

have uncovered the disparity

in care among dogs and cats.

Cats are less likely to receive

veterinary healthcare than

dogs, as research shows that

cats make up about one-quar-

ter of patients at small animal

veterinary clinics.

Cats have long been sec-

ond to dogs as the most popu-

lar pet. But cats may be edging

out dogs as the preferred pet,

particularly because they seem

to need less attention and

maintenance. But these same

qualities that make them

attractive pets could be putting

their health at risk. Cats that

tend to fend for themselves act

aloof and may not give their

owners any indication that

they are sick. As a result, pet

owners can become compla-

cent about cat care, simply

because they dont spend as

much time with cats as they

may with a dog.

Dr. Katy Allen, a veteri-

narian and owner of

Canterbury Tails Veterinary

Services, has said dogs are an

in-your-face kind of pet.

People tend to interact more

with their dogs by taking them

for walks and playing with

them. So its more noticeable

when something is not right

with a dog. Cats, however, are

more stoic. When they dont

feel well, cats will run away

and hide.

Changing vaccine sched-

ules for many animals may also

affect how often cats visit the

vet. Immunizations have

changed so that some shots can

be offered every two or three

years instead of annually.

Therefore, pet owners may not

see the need to visit the vet

unless the animal is due for a

shot. This can put a cat at risk

because it is usually during rou-

tine exams when vets uncover

something that the pet owner

may not have noticed on his or

her own.

The American Animal

Hospital Association urges cat

owners to remember that every

year that passes for a cat is

equivalent to several years for a

person, making it imperative

for cats to receive wellness

examinations, including labo-

ratory testing, once a year.

Healthy senior cats should be

examined once every six

months, as illnesses and

changes in an older cats health

can progress quickly.

What can you

expect at a cats

wellness exam? A

veterinarian will go

over a number of

things at an annual

wellness visit. Here

is a list of some

things to expect: dis-

cussion of the animals medical

history, testing of the cats

stool, examination of the cats

nose and nasal passages for

signs of infection, examination

of the gums, teeth and tongue,

examination of the ears to

check for mites or any dis-

charge, examination of the

eyes, examination of the body

for parasites or skin disease,

examination to determine if

there are any abnormal

growths or tenderness, exami-

nation of heart and lung

sounds, and a collection of

blood to test for heartworms,

feline leukemia and feline

immunodeficiency virus.

If any abnormalities are

suspected, more intensive test-

ing may be prescribed.

Cats are prized for their

ability to be self-sufficient and

not need the same level of

attention as most dogs.

However, these traits should

not preclude them from receiv-

ing routine medical wellness

exams.

Brought to you by Dr. Matthew

Krupnick, the owner of the Pe-

quannock Animal Hospital. He

grew up in Kinnelon and is hap-

py to be home with his wife,

three cats and two dogs to

provide quality and compassion-

ate care for your pets in the com-

As a family caregiver,

you may find yourself

facing a host of new

responsibilities, many of

which are unfamiliar or intim-

idating. You may be taking

care of an aging parent or a

handicapped spouse. Or per-

haps youre caring for a child

with a physical or mental ill-

ness. At times, you may feel

overwhelmed and alone. But

regardless of your particular

circumstances, youre facing a

challenging new role. These

tips can help you get the sup-

port you need while caring for

someone you love.

1.Accept your feelings.

Caregiving can trigger a host

of difficult emotions, includ-

ing anger, fear, resentment,

guilt, helplessness and grief.

Its important to acknowl-

edge and accept what youre

feeling, both good and bad.

Dont beat yourself up over

your doubts and misgivings

these feelings simply

mean youre human.

2.Ask for help.

Even if youre the primary

family caregiver, you cant do

everything on your own.

Youll need help from friends,

siblings, and other family

members, as well as health

professionals. If you dont get

the support you need, youll

quickly burn out, which will

compromise your ability to

provide care.

3.Make time for yourself.

While youre caring for your

loved one, dont forget about

your own needs. Take time to

relax daily and learn how to

regulate your stress when you

start to feel overwhelmed. Its

also important to stay social.

Make it a priority to visit reg-

ularly with friends and fami-

ly. Dont let yourself become

isolated.

4.Care for your body.

Exercise regularly. Try to get

in at least 30 minutes of exer-

cise three times per week,

since exercise is one of the

best ways to relieve stress and

boost your energy. It is also

imperative to go to all of

your regular doctors check-

ups and remember to eat

healthy and get enough rest.

5.Talk with others.

Even when you understand

why youre feeling the way

you do, it can still be upset-

ting. In order to deal with

your feelings, its important

to talk about them. Dont

keep your emotions bottled

up, but find at least one per-

son you trust to confide in.

Children are develop-

play on equipment that is

rated for their particular age

group.

Hard surfaces around

playground equipment should

be thoroughly cushioned with

a material that will reduce

impact injuries. Mulch, pea

rubber shavings are all accept-

able materials.

The equipment should

be free of sharp points or dan-

All fastening hooks and

chains, including S hooks,

should be secure and in good

condition.

The playground should

have adequate drainage.

Swings and other mobile

items should be located far

enough away from buildings

and other obstructions.

The playground should

be kept clean of any debris,

including cans and broken

bottles.

Make sure there are no

tripping hazards, like exposed

concrete footings, rocks and

tree stumps.

Adults should always be

present to oversee activities

on the playground.

Renovations that take

inventory of energy useand strive toward effi-

ciency have grown increasingly

popular over the years.

Homeowners fed up with high

utility bills want to conserve

costs, and there are a number of

ways to revamp a home to be

more energy efficient.The first step in a home

energy makeover is to find out

where your home is losing

money. Certain municipal and

environmental agencies offer

home assessments, during

which they will do a complete

walk-through of your home andhighlight areas that can be

improved. Private companies

also perform energy audits on a

home. They may be able to

point out appliances, windows

or landscaping issues that could

be compromising the efficiency

of a home. These people mayhave a more intimate knowl-

edge of insulation ratings and

window efficiency ratings than

the average homeowner.

In addition to having an

energy audit on your home to

save money on utility bills, a

professional audit may makeyou eligible for tax incentives

and rebates. That can mean

even more savings and may

even increase the value of

your home.

Until a thorough energy

assessment can be made, thereare some easy and relatively

inexpensive fixes any home-

owner can undertake to help

improve energy efficiency.

Clean air filters. Trapped

dust and debris in a filter

makes furnaces and air condi-

tioners work harder. Once fil-

ters are free from dust, air can

blow more smoothly through

the system.

Plug leaks. Air leakscould be sucking energy out of

your home and money out of

your wallet. Once you find

any leaks, you can use weath-

er stripping and caulking to

seal up breaches and save

energy and money.

Invest in insulation.

Install high-efficiency insula-

tion in attics and between

walls to prevent energy loss

and keep more warm or cool

air in the home. A well-insu-

lated house requires less heat-ing and cooling to keep the

temperature indoors stable,

and that translates to less

money spent on utilities.

Swap out light bulbs.

Switching bulbs from incan-

descent to more efficient LED

or CFL bulbs can save money

in the long run.

By making a few simple

changes, homeowner can

increase their energy savingsaround the house. Investing in

an energy audit and makeover

can pinpoint key areas that

need improvement.

Chicken is a versatile

choice when cookingfor family and friends

or even when preparing a

meal for one or two people.

Chicken can be cooked and

seasoned in a variety of ways,

and one chicken entree may

taste completely different

from another.

For many chicken

lovers, no method of cooking

chicken is more tasty than

frying. But frying isnt veryhealthy, and the desire to

mimic the taste of fried

chicken without actually fry-

ing it is what led chef Kevin

Gillespie to come up with the

following recipe for Cast-

Iron Skillet Chicken with

Farro and Brussels Sprouts.

Included in his cookbook,

Fire in My Belly (Andrews

McMeel), this recipe pro-

vides the same crispy flavor offried chicken, but it does so

in a much healthier way.

Cast-Iron Skillet Chick-en

with Farro and Brussels

Sprouts Serves 4

1 cup, semi-pearled farro,

preferably Anson Mills

3 cups water

1 pound Brussels sprouts

(about 32 golf ball-size

sprouts)

2 chickens, about 4

pounds each

2 tablespoons grapeseed

oil3 cloves garlic, shaved on

a mandoline

2 cups warm chicken stock

2 tablespoons olive oil14 cup lemon juice14 cup tahini sauce

Salt and ground black

pepper to taste

1.Preheat oven to 500o F.

2.Soak the farro in the water

for 30 minutes. Drain off the

water and rinse the grains

with cold water. Put the farro

in a 2-quart saucepan and add

enough fresh cold water to

cover. Bring to a boil, thencut the heat down to low,

cover, and simmer until ten-

der yet still chewy, about 20

minutes. Drain off any excess

liquid and spread the farro on

a baking sheet to cool. You

should end up with about 2

cups of cooked farro.

3.Meanwhile, peel off theouter green leaves of the

Brussels sprouts until you

have 4 cups. Reserve the

inner heads for another use.

4.Cut up the chickens into

leg-thigh and breast-wing

portions with the skin still

attached. For each leg-thigh

portion, bend the leg away

from the body, cut down to

the joint, then bend the joint

to break it. Cut between theball and socket, then down

around the carcass to remove

the entire leg-thigh portion.

For each breast-wing portion,

cut down along one side of

the breastbone, then run the

knife along the contour of

the rib cage and around the

wishbone to begin removing

the breast from the body.

When you get to the joint

connecting the wing to thebody, grab both wing and

breast together and cut

through the wing joint to

remove breast and wing in

one piece. Score the meat

around the next wing joint

closest to the breast, cutting

down to bone and scraping

with the knife so the bone isfairly clean. Bend the joint to

break it and remove the wing.

The resulting boneless breast

with the first wing bone

attached and exposed is

called an airline breast. It

looks nicer than the boneless

breast by itself, and the wing

bone helps keep the meat

moist during cooking.

5.Cut off any excess flaps of

skin and pat the chicken verydry with a paper towel.

Generously season the chick-

en on all sides with salt andpepper. Heat two large cast-

iron skillets over medium

heat. Add enough grapeseed

oil to coat the bottom of each

pan. Put the chicken legs in

one pan, skin side down, and

put the breasts in the other

pan, also skin side down.

Crank the heat up to medi-

um-high and cook until the

skin is nicely browned, about

4 minutes. No need to peek;

needed. With laser-enhanced

bleaching, however, dramaticresults can be seen after the first

treatment.

Costs. Over-the-counter

bleaching systems are the least

expensive option, with costs

ranging from $20 to about

$150. Depending on where you

live and the extent of the pro-

cedure, dentist-supervised

home bleaching systems range

in cost from approximately$150 to $300 per upper or

lower set of teeth, or $300 to

$600 for the whole mouth. In-

office bleaching procedures

range in cost from $200 to $500

per arch, or $500 to $1,000 for

the whole mouth.

Supervised versus unsuper-

vised process. Dentist-super-

vised at-home bleaching and

in-office treatments offer addi-tional benefits compared with

over-the-counter procedures.

First, your dentist can perform

an oral examination and con-

sider your complete medical

history, which can be helpful in

determining how your teeth

became discolored and if

bleaching is an appropriate

course of treatment based on

your type of stains and number,type, and location of restora-

tions. Your dentist can then

better match the type of stain

with the best treatment, if

appropriate, to lighten those

stains. With dentist-supervised

bleaching procedures, your

dentist will likely want to see

you a couple of times to ensure

you are following directions, to

make sure the customized trayis fitting properly, to inspect

your gums for signs of irritation,

and to generally check on how

the teeth whitening process is

proceeding. With over-the-

counter bleaching products,

you are on your own.

If you have made up your

mind to assume the risks associ-

ated with over-the-counter,

tray-based bleaching kits, heres

some sound advice:Try to select a kit that

allows some customization of

the mouthpiece. Some kits

come with a mouthpiece that

can be molded to some degree.

These are better than others

that come with a standard

stock mouthpiece.

Try to gain the opinion of

others who may have already

tried the kit you are consider-ing.

If at any time you experi-

ence a prolonged change in the

color of your gums or an

increased tooth sensitivity to

hot or cold foods and bever-

ages, stop wearing the mouth-

piece and see your dentist

immediately.

Thirty years ago, people

had fewer than half oftheir teeth for their

lifetime. But the dental pro-

fession is experiencing the

most incredible changes in

history. Today, people have

more than 50 percent of their

teeth present for their life-

time. Just as the medical pro-

fession has extended years to

peoples lives, the dental pro-

fession has extended the

amount of teeth remainingduring their lives.

Preventative dentistry,

advances in treatments, scien-

tific research, peoples dental

awareness, and the desire for

a great smile are just some of

the reasons people are sav-

ing their teeth. The deleteri-ous effects of sugar, poor

diet, improper dental

hygiene and irregular dental

checkups have become com-

mon knowledge to most

people. Prevention such

as flossing, dental cleanings,

pediatric dentistry and qual-

ity toothbrushes and pastes

are discussed regularly in

social situations. I have seen

and heard it as a dentist forover 33 years! As weve

managed to preserve our

adult teeth, weve come to

face new challenges and

issues. Many medical illness-

es were never heard of, or

even treatable, years ago.

Dentistry is now facing awhole new array of special

needs and interests.

I will be presenting a

seminar to address many of

these areas, such as: (1)

medications and their

effects on your mouth, (2)

new home care advances to

reach those places we strug-

gle with, (3) preserving

your bite now that youve

saved your teeth, (4) vari-ous options that have

improved some of the old

remedies, such as loose

dentures, dry mouth and

bridgework, (5) the con-

nection between medical

illnesses and tooth decay and

gum disease, and (6) modernpreventative alternatives to

control getting cavities and

gum disease.

These are a few of the

topics I will discuss on

Wednesday, September 4 at

Cedar Crest starting at

10:30am. Sonicaire (Phillips/

Discuss) will be sponsoring

the event and will hold a raf-

fle of new home hygiene prod-

ucts worth over $1,500. Thisseminar is free and open to the

public. Please RSVP by call-

ing 973-831-3759 or e-mail-
