There’s no place like Burlington Pharmacy There’s no place like Burlington Pharmacy – you don’t have to click your heels three times in a row to feel at home here.

The friendly staff and welcoming environment are all you need to feel comfortable.

“That’s what we’re all about – making people feel comfortable,” said pharmacist and owner Steve Mueller.

“Traditional pharmacies have a very overpowering cold feeling with bright lights and white walls. We, on the other hand have created an atmosphere that makes you comfortable when you walk in the door to decrease anxiety,” he said.

The way you’re talked to, treated and cared for at Burlington Pharmacy is what truly makes this pharmacy distinct.

“We practice the old fashioned-way where we meet our customers in person. We get to know their life, their needs and how their prescriptions fit into this,” said Steve.

The well-trained and courteous team, with more than 180 years of collective experience, is focused to provide you unmatched service, quality, accessibility, and cost effectiveness.

Burlington Pharmacy has been providing superior customer service and top quality, state-of-the-art medical equipment and supplies since 1976.

They’ve even expanded their prescription business to include compounding for special needs like hormone replacement therapy and pain management.

They specialize in children’s medicines and even veterinarian medicine, creating forms an flavors that can be given for specific needs.

“By branching into com-

pounding, we’re adding a new method of caring for people you can’t get from our competition.”

Steve said.

Client education is also a key component in separating Burlington Pharmacy from the competition.

“It’s so important as a professional health care provider to provide education to the patient,” Steve explained.

“The patient has a serious need for the knowledge a pharmacist has to offer. At our pharmacy we take the time to share that knowledge,” he said.

They share this knowledge with the community as a whole, too. They’ve worked with the YMCA, health departments, and nursing practices, offering classes with local experts to help edu-

Tips on taking the best care of your mouth

Y

ou eat with it, you communicate with it, you even show your undying affection with it – so why not take care of it? Consider these oral care tips from New York-based dentist, John E. Dodes.

Don’t ignore that reminder card

Nearly 75 percent of American adults suffer from various forms of periodontal (gum) disease and don’t know it. Visiting your dentist twice a year is the best way to maintain good oral health and treat problems early that may be both costly and TIPS see page 10

The fight against gum disease The fight against gum disease is very much real in the United States, with more than 80 percent of adults having some form. Unfortunately most of that 80 percent don’t even realize they have gum disease.

Treatment, however, is very important. Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss and research links oral bacterial infections to Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease, blood clots and stroke, respiratory disease, and preterm and low birth weight babies.

Symptoms include: • bleeding gums • sensitive teeth • obvious plaque, tarter or calculus • persistent bad breath • swollen, red or tender gums • spaces developing between your teeth • receding gums (teeth appear longer) • loose or mobile teeth Many people ignore these symptoms, however, because they cannot see the infections, but they are very serious. If you had an open, bleeding wound in your hand, you’d treat it. The infected wounds in your mouth are just as important to treat because they can lead

to other serious, even fatal health issues.

The most common way to treat oral bacteria is a professional cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing that physically removes oral biofilm.

Unfortunately, bacteria are continually reintroduced into the mouth and oral biofilms regenerate very easily, so it is difficult to control them between office visits.

The Perio Protect Method, offered by Dr. Barry Ross, offers an additional technique designed to help you manage oral bacteria on a daily basis.

Using a custom-formed prescription tray, doctor-prescribed medication can be placed into the periodontal pocket.

The tray is designed to prevent medication from being quickly washed away.

Dr. Barry Ross will prescribe the best medication for your condition, as well as individualized treatment instructions.

For most following the Perio Protect Method, treatment requires just minutes each day.

Patients have described the method as a comfortable treatment option and report additional positive side effects of fresher breath and whiter teeth.

For more information on the Perio Protect Method, call Dr. Barry Ross today at 661-8586.

Should better hearing be on your holiday gift list? It’s on sale, too!

For most people, the holidays are a time for reconnecting.

Sadly, people with hearing loss can feel even more isolated at this time of year, missing pieces of conversations, shying away from parties, and straining to hear loved ones’ voices on the phone because of untreated hearing loss.

This holiday, give the gift of connectedness.

Take advantage of our huge end-of-the-year sale on all in-stock hearing aids and assistive listening devices (ALDs) and help someone you love hear more clearly and participate more fully in the joys of the holiday season.

ALDs offer people with hearing loss simple solutions for talking on the

phone, watching TV, and hearing the alarm clock, doorbell, or smoke detector.

ALDs use tones, lights, or vibrations to alert you to sounds you don’t hear well and can make listening and communicating less stressful and tiresome in everyday situations, even for those who already wear hearing aids.

On sale now are several models of hearing aids at various levels of technology and price points.

Make the holiday season last all year when you give new aids or a technology upgrade.

Add-on devices that offer connective capability and ensure that hearing aid wearers can hear phone calls in both ears

and listen to other audio devices at their comfort level also make meaningful gifts.

These devices are compatible with cell phones and other wireless and Bluetooth accessories, turn-

ing hearing aids into the world’s smallest wireless headset.

Take away the isolation – give the gift of hearing (or put it on your own wish list).

To make an appoint-

ment for a hearing consultation, to try out hearing aids or ALDs-including amplified phones and TV Ears, or for your free copy of The Consumer’s Guide to Hearing Aids, call 5989444 today.

Mitzvah Day to be held Dec. 24 at Cedar Village In 1997, two Cincinnati Jewish nursing homes, Glen Manor and the Orthodox Jewish Home, merged and became Cedar Village.

With this merger many rich and wonderful traditions were begun. One of them was the annual Christmas Mitzvah Day, formerly known as Switch Day. Switch Day was implemented by the Orthodox Jewish Home Auxiliary.

This group of dedicated community volunteers and their families would come in and perform the work of the non-Jewish staff on Christmas Day. The idea was conceived by Frieda Aaron, who had worked at the Orthodox Jewish Home as director of activities, and is currently a resident life coordinator at Cedar Village.

Local doctors, nurses, family members, and community volunteers would come in and assist so the non-Jewish staff could enjoy their Christmas holiday at

home with their families.

From that first Christmas to today, the tradition is still carried on at Cedar Village. Though volunteers are unable to take over for all staff that day, they do provide assistance to the many dedicated employees on Christmas Day. Each year on Cedar Village’s Mitzvah Day, more than 100 community volunteers assist with programs, serve meals, perform light housekeeping, cook, greet, assist in the deli, and provide assistance in many other capacities.

One very special project is delivering Christmas gifts to the non-Jewish residents.

Although many volunteers from the community participate, it is the core group of dedicated, hardworking Friends of Cedar Village volunteers who do a yeoman’s job each year.

The Friends of Cedar Village auxiliary volunteers have been active participants since the Orthodox Jewish Home

days.

Mitzvah Day is the chance to make a difference in the lives of the nearly 300 residents who call Cedar Village their home.

A group of volunteers from the Rockdale Temple Brotherhood look forward to Mitzvah Day each year.

Beginning early in the morning, almost 50 congregates arrive to make a spectacular pancake breakfast for the residents.

“It is a huge undertaking and we love every minute of it,” said Gerry Korkin, former President of Rockdale Temple.

“Dozens and dozens of homemade pancakes are cooked on the griddle at the same time, and then served hot and fresh with butter and syrup,” said Korkin.

“We know the residents at Cedar Village enjoy this every year,” he said, “but not more than we do. Coming back year after year – and seeing the big smiles on their faces – is the reward for this labor of love.” he said.

BURLINGTON from page 3 cate patients and health care professionals on topics of interest.

Burlington Pharmacy also performs disease screenings and immunizations for a wide-range of diseases including high blood pressure, diabetes.

Burlington offers one-on-one counseling between patient and pharmacist when need arises.

More importantly, the community-

based pharmacy has been successfully caring for generations of families.

“People come here because we’ll get to know them and take care of them by helping them choose the right solution for their individual needs,” Steve said.

Secrets of gracious holiday giving

A

great gift, given in a way that tells the recipient how much he or she is valued, respected and wished well, is the essence of the holiday spirit.

Decades ago, when the rhythm of life seemed more sedate, gift-givers probably had more time to invest in considering a gift and shopping for it.

Today’s hectic pace, however, can make gift giving a challenge, even for the most dedicated giver.

You can recapture the grace and thoughtfulness of a

bygone era this holiday season with a few tips: • Food is a classic holiday gift. It can be personal (such as the recipient’s favorite holiday cookies), or broad enough in appeal to satisfy a group with varying tastes (such as a box of chocolates for a family or office mates).

• A gift is a warm and touching way to say “thank you.” The holidays are a time for celebration, but also to express gratitude – to those you love and also to those with whom you

enjoy a professional relationship, whether it’s the baby sitter or a client.

Thank-you gifts should be planned in advance to allow yourself plenty of time to find just the right, thoughtful gift. Tailor your thank-you gift according to the relationship you share with the recipient.

Something homemade might delight your child’s teacher, while a business colleague would appreciate something light-hearted and surefire, like Melting Snowman cookies.

host and ensure your guest room is well stocked for the holidays. In addition to all the necessities, don’t overlook the niceties, which should include a modest yet cherished token that guests can enjoy while they visit, or take with them when they depart.

Decades ago, Grandma might have set a decorative tin, filled with homemade cookies, in the guest room for visitors to enjoy throughout their stay.

Modern hosts might present some indulgent butter toffee for guests to savor.
