www.DrTerryShapiro.com
Missing a Tooth? by Terry S. Shapiro, D.M.D.
No one likes an unsightly gap. But what are your options?

The gold standard to replace a missing tooth is the osseointegrated implant on
which is attached an implant crown. The implant crown looks and feels like a natural
tooth. But because implants require surgery, the implant patient must be in good
health. The patient also needs to have adequate bone to support the implant. This
excellent service is also more costly than other options.
The second option is the fixed bridge. Here, teeth on either side of the missing
tooth are covered with crowns to which an artificial tooth is connected. The bridge
is then cemented in place. Disadvantages are that the teeth on either side of the
missing tooth have to be reduced to accommodate the crowns and three or more
teeth are now connected, making it difficult to clean underneath and a potential
food trap.
The third choice is the removable partial denture. As it is removable, the partial
denture is less natural than the implant or fixed bridge. The partial denture takes
getting used to, it may feel bulky and you may not be able to chew as you would
with natural teeth. The advantage is the relative simplicity of the procedure and
lower cost.
You may not be a candidate for the implant, the fixed bridge or the removable
partial denture. Your dentist can best evaluate which options are suitable for a given
clinical situation. It is important to replace missing teeth because other teeth will
drift into the gap and the entire dentition may be compromised. For more
information on replacing missing teeth visit www.drterryshapiro.com.

Hearing Loss
it doesn’t just affect hearing
O ne of the most commonly unaddressed health
conditions in America today, hearing loss affects more
than 31.5 million Americans, most of whom are below
retirement age.
Hearing loss can strike at any time and at any age.
When left unaddressed, hearing loss can affect virtually
every aspect of an individual’s life. Numerous studies, in
fact, have linked untreated hearing loss to a wide range of
physical and emotional conditions, including irritability,
negativism, anger, fatigue, tension, stress, depression,
avoidance or withdrawal from social situations, social
rejection and loneliness, reduced alertness and increased
risk to personal safety. Other effects may be impaired
memory and ability to learn new tasks, reduced job
performance and earning power and diminished
psychological and overall health.
Despite the far reaching impact hearing loss has on so
many aspects of an individual’s life, many people who are
aware that their hearing has deteriorated are reluctant to
seek help. Unfortunately, too many wait years, even
decades, before getting treatment, becoming more and
more disconnected as time goes by.
The fact is that with modern advances in technology,
there are solutions for many. In fact, 90-95 percent of people
with hearing loss can be helped with hearing aids and their
quality of life significantly improved. Hearing aids hold such
great potential to positively change so many lives, yet only
one of five people who could benefit from hearing devices
currently wear them. The audiologists at Smithtown/
Sayville Hearing Services can provide solutions to many
hearing problems at any budget.

One mother’s art lives on
through her daughter
F rom the 1940s to the 1960s, Hilda
Glasgow was one of the top fashion
illustrators in the industry. As a
woman ahead of her time, born in
1913, graduating from Pratt
Institute in NYC in 1933, she
illustrated the latest mid-20th
century fashions for magazines
such as Vogue and a variety of
high end department stores,
including Saks Fifth Avenue.

As a young girl, Liz Glasgow loved art and crafts, much
to the delight of her mother Hilda. “We had a workroom
with a metal closet that housed all the drawings, papers,
art supplies and cameras,” says Liz. “Whenever I needed
something art related, Mom would tell me it was in the
white cabinet.”
Now, 50 years later, the white cabinet from her
childhood has again become a central part of her life.
Today, the white cabinet resides in Liz’s East
End home and houses 80 drawings spanning
Hilda’s career. “I’ve had her drawings hidden
away and am now offering them to the world,”
says Liz. Just last year, she launched a virtual
White Cabinet where customers can order

Dora’s Hope Choice Centered Medicaid
Did you know that millions of seniors and disabled citizens are being forced into nursing home
institutions to receive care? And, did you know that many are middle class seniors or young disabled
adults who depleted their savings on medical care and because they have to rely on Medicaid are stuck
in nursing homes begging to come home?
From Inspiration to Implementation: The Dora &

C hoice Centered Medicaid is a grassroots movement
created by Joseph Stango, an advocate for Medicaid
reform. CCM strives to make Americans aware of the
Joe Stango Story
In 1999, Joe Stango built a home in Connecticut to

and his wife’s mother, Alba. The plan was for Stango’s

family to enjoy the time their mothers had left, all living
together as a family in the Southbury house… the
women growing old surrounded by family.
Instead, Stango’s mother Dora spent the last four
years of her life in a nursing home, and was only brought
home after a long battle with Medicaid. She died six
days later.
Stango decided to go to the legislature to try to
change Medicaid law. In 2006, to bring his mother
home, he advocated for the Connecticut legislature to
pass a Medicaid portability program called Money
Follows the Person (MFP). At the time, the program
would allow people currently residing in nursing homes
for at least six months the opportunity to return home
and be cared for in the community, while continuing to
receive Medicaid services. MFP was passed with one
hundred percent support among both democratic and
republican lawmakers.
Joseph Stango continues his advocacy nationwide
towards equal treatment of institutional and home care,
so that Medicaid-eligible consumers are given the
choice between the two.
“The MFP formula will transform and reform
Medicaid, ending forced institutionalization, and
enabling all patients and their families, regardless of age
or extent of disability, to have a choice about where they
live out their lives,” says Stango.

“it’s the right thing to do”
An Urgent Appeal from Choice Centered
Medicaid (CCM) Founder Joe Stango
In all states, nursing home care is a Medicaid
entitlement, but home care is not in spite of the fact that
it’s less expensive, and it’s what most people want.
“Middle class America is unaware that their freedom is
threatened because to receive Medicaid services means
they can be forced into institutions in order to receive
benefits,” says Stango. “It doesn’t matter whether they’re
twenty years old or ninety; Medicaid benefits do not
‘follow the person’ and, as a result, do not allow
individuals to choose where they live out their lives.”
As a result, every year thousands of middle class
Americans in need of long-term care face the agony of
forced institutionalization. And it’s not only seniors who
are affected; young adults who’ve suffered strokes or car
accidents, or who have had other health challenges can
end up in a nursing home for life.
“The decision whether to enter an institution or be
cared for at home belongs to all Americans and their
families, not the government,” says Stango.
What Is the Purpose of CCM?
Our mission is about complete choice for the
individual. CCM is about giving families the freedom to
choose where its members live out their lives; it’s about
equal treatment of institutional care and home care,
allowing consumers to choose where Medicaid services
are received.
