Jeopardy & Oral Health

Wednesday, April 3rd – 10:00 a.m.

URI Pharmacy Outreach Program

Let’s play jeopardy!  Topic presented will be Oral Health & You followed by a game of Jeopardy.  Taking care of your teeth and gums as we get older can prevent many problems.  But when problems arise such as, toothaches, dry mouth or canker sores…what do we do?  How can we treat small dental emergencies before seeing the dentist?  These topics and more will be discussed along with “Game Playing.”

Bathroom Modifications, Tubcut

“A Safety & Cost Effective

Modification”

Wednesday, April 10th 

10:00 a.m.

Presented by:  Paul Spencer

Would you like to improve the accessibility to your tub and make it safer to get in and out of?   Tubcut is the answer.  By lowering the tub’s side, it reduces the need for a high step-over, making it much easier and safer to enter and exit the bathtub.  Join Paul for an explanation on how it is done and the cost of such an option.
