How an Emergency Dentist in Silver Spring Can Save Your Tooth

Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them, causing pain, discomfort, and stress. In such situations, knowing that you have access to a reliable dentist in Silver Spring can be incredibly reassuring. Our experienced team is ready to provide prompt and effective care to save your tooth and alleviate your pain. Here's how an emergency dentist can make a difference in preserving your oral health.

Understanding Dental Emergencies

A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include:

Severe Toothaches: Persistent and intense pain could indicate an infection or abscess.

Chipped or Broken Teeth: Accidents or injuries can lead to fractures or cracks.

Knocked-Out Teeth: A tooth that has been completely dislodged requires urgent care.

Lost Fillings or Crowns: The loss of dental restorations can expose sensitive areas and cause discomfort.

Gum Injuries: Cuts, tears, or severe bleeding in the gums need prompt attention.

Quick Response to Save Your Tooth

When faced with a dental emergency, time is of the essence. Here's how Smile Loft Dental at Hillandale can help save your tooth in various emergency scenarios:

Knocked-Out ToothIf a tooth has been knocked out, it's crucial to act quickly. Rinse the tooth gently with water, being careful not to touch the root. Try to place the tooth back into its socket if possible. If not, keep it moist by placing it in a container of milk or a saline solution. Contact Smile Loft Dental at Hillandale immediately. Our emergency dentist Silver Spring can often reinsert and save a knocked-out tooth if treated within an hour.

Chipped or Broken Tooth For a chipped or broken tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Collect any broken pieces and bring them with you to your emergency appointment. Our dentist Silver Spring will assess the damage and recommend the best treatment, which may include bonding, a crown, or a veneer to restore the tooth's appearance and function.

Severe Toothache Persistent tooth pain can be a sign of an underlying issue such as an infection or decay. Rinse your mouth with warm water and floss gently to remove any trapped debris. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the affected area as it can cause tissue damage. Contact Smile Loft Dental at Hillandale for an emergency appointment. Our team will diagnose the cause of the pain and provide appropriate treatment, such as a root canal or extraction if necessary.

Lost Fillings or Crowns If a filling or crown has come loose, try to keep the restoration and bring it with you to your appointment. Avoid chewing on the affected side and use dental cement (available at pharmacies) to temporarily cover the exposed area if it causes discomfort. Our emergency dentist will reattach the restoration or provide a replacement to protect the tooth.

Preventive Measures and Ongoing Care

While dental emergencies can’t always be prevented, there are steps you can take to minimize the risk:

Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups can prevent decay and gum disease.

Wear a Mouthguard: If you play sports or grind your teeth at night, a custom mouthguard can protect your teeth from injury.

Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that can cause teeth to chip or break.

Schedule Regular Dental Visits: Routine exams at Smile Loft Dental at Hillandale can catch potential issues before they become emergencies.

I have 3 teeth that need to be pulled and no dental insurance so I can’t afford to fix that

My car is like 2 weeks from breaking down, expired registration, no car insurance and is sitting in an impound lot where they want $550 minimum just to free her. That won’t even fix the registration problem. Also the last time I got an insurance quote they wanted $600 a month. Can’t afford to fix that.

My mortgage (on a house that I don’t even fucking want or know how to take care of fr) has gone up an extra $500 a month. Also I lost some shingles from my roof and my neighbors call HOA if my grass is taller than 1.25 inches. So I’ll need a roofer, landscaper, and a plumber. Can’t afford to fix that.

I have bronchitis and I can’t take the medicine they prescribed bcuz the side effects would make it impossible to work but I need money so I can’t NOT work. I guess I’ll just keep coughing then.

Not to mention I don’t have health insurance and I paid for that visit out of pocket. Did you know it’s $119 just to be seen? $75 for a mandatory COVID test?

I’m 6 credits short of my bachelor’s degree and I really wanna finish school so i can just leave all of this shit behind and teach English or art in a Spanish speaking country.

Or I could just die but EVEN THAT SHIT IS TOO EXPENSIVE HERE. I’m fucking drowning.

You know what I can afford? Weed and alcohol to forget that I feel like shit 92% of the time. I REALLY fucking hate it here. Like on earth in general. I wanted to outlive my parents since no one should have to bury their child but I’m drowning and honestly I’m not sure I even want a life vest.

My only silver lining has been my job. I love my kiddos. I love teaching them about art. But I’m beginning to despise my coworkers.

I have court next week and my mom has a surgery that I’ll need to be present for so I won’t be at work 2 days before spring break and when I don’t work I don’t get paid so idk how anything is gonna be paid come April.

THEN I feel like who am I to complain when my dad has been wheelchair bound since 17 but is a firm believer in pulling yourself up by the bootstraps bcuz that’s what he did and according to him he shouldn’t be alive. My mom has this mystery surgery coming up while working 3 jobs and moving in my grandmother who has dementia. My brother has HIV and Autism so he’s got his own problems that are obviously bigger than mine.

Everyone in my family is managing to survive but I wanna cease to exist. If I say that to a therapist I’ll get put in a psych ward and miss work which is my main source of happiness and my only source of income.

I had been planning to join the 27 club back when I was 12. Now that I’m 27…that option seems like it’s on the table, waiting for me.

Moonlit pt. 2

((Contains mentions of violence and gore. BradxOC and the rest of the gang))

Horrible moans were muffled against the glass, fingers dragging long dark streaks.

Even with the blinds drawn tight, the dead knew they were in there.

"You need to go, Brad. Please… don't. Don't argue. Just go. Run before they get you…"

"I'm not going to leave you."

"You have to. You can't let them get away with this. They killed our friends. Jenna."

Her life hanging by a thread was a storm cloud hovering over them.

Check tossed in her clutch, Joan looked over herself one more time in the mirror. Cap off her lipstick, she carefully painted on a clean line, then another.

Finally paid for performing at this over the top wedding, she might be able to get the water heater fixed and take a shower in her own apartment. Jack had been up her ass for a week, every time she showed up to grab a shower there was an argument.

She never told Brad. It wasn't his problem and he had enough on his mind with work.

He would have helped…

She frowned at her reflection. Depending on someone was always a bad idea in her book.

Even with that in mind, there were things in her that unfurled every time he swung by for 'just a minute'. Things that bloomed between cups of coffee and the way he swayed with her from behind while she made dinner; hands on her hips, chin on her shoulder, humming away to Steve Miller Band crackling through on the radio.

These little things strung themselves together into an idea.

A life. One that came to her mind as easy as breathing. White picket fences, BBQ grills, his corny jokes and a pack of kids chasing one another around an inground pool. An eternal summer where fireworks and lightning bugs shifted to strings of lights and Christmas mornings where they both were half asleep wrapped up in house coats in front of a massive tree he just had to have for them.

Tiny terrors racing around the house with new toys while basset hound puppy tried to keep up.

Dumping them all off at Forest's garage for a date night, half terrified of coming back to find the kids had burned the place down. Who was she kidding? Half of the time she swung by: Forest had set the place on fire himself.

Weddings always do this to me.

The wedding reception hall still looked grand as ever, even after guests had cut a rug for half of the night. It made her smile, thinking of her own future for a moment. Gift basket in tow, she bumped into someone on her way out of the Depot. "Oops! Sorry… David." Her eyes widened.

The man simply stared at her for a moment, hair as silver as ever. There was a time she teased him about going gray so early in life. There were other times she teased him that he should pick a codename that didn't belong in a steamy romance novel about spies. What sane person called themselves Hunk?

Now she was just trying to get to the door.

"We need to talk."

"Call me tomorrow and we will," She replied quickly.

"I want to see her before I leave. I have a right to see her," the man replied lowly.

That hit a nerve. The golden light of the outdoor lamps bathed half of her face. "Your rights? Hmm, what about my right to some help raising her? How about some health insurance or dental insurance covered? How about a gift for Christmas or a fucking call on her birthday?"

Everyone stopped and stared. 

"Everything alright?" Brad asked as he stepped outside. Confusion crossed his face as Joan offered up the gift basket and her clutch.

"Peachy." Her expression was torn between pain and rage.

Vickers took one look at the man, deducing just who would have managed to gain real ire from Joan. "I'll go start the car, babe." He paused when her hand snatched at his elbow, pulling him close enough to leave a lipstick mark on his cheek.

"I'm right behind you," She said, quick and anxious.

He couldn't see the argument that broke out as he stepped off the curb and out into the darkened parking lot, but the look on his three teammates faces told him to look back.

Joan's stance was hostile, even in an evening gown. Her hands were a flurry of gestures as she spoke in a heated fashion. A look fury on her face, her gaudy jewelry glittered in the dim light of the building's entrance. The man in front of her said nothing, toying idly with the toothpick set between his jaws.  He suddenly retreated. "There you go! Walk off, it's what you're good at," followed him back inside the building.

"Jerry, Jerry, Jerry…" Chris whispered, pumping a fist. Both Wesker and Jill gave him a sour look.

Brad could only look on, sighing heavily.

Miss Piper was trying to calm the fury as she marched up the sidewalk. A bright smile appeared as she saw Brad. "Hey Baby! Are we headin' out?"

"Do you still love him?"

"BRADLEY VICKERS!"

"She whipped out the whole name. Man…" Chris grumbled from the back seat. "Don't ask stupid questions while she's driving." He undid his tie with quick fingers. "He's just had too many, Joan. Don't listen."

Vickers shook his head, looking out the window. Part of him wished he had rode along with Captain Wesker and Jill.

Even though those two have been acting weird for weeks…

"I don't love David. That was a long time ago. He's an asshole."

"He seems like a deadbeat. I've never seen the guy before tonight," Chris added, sitting back.

"He doesn't even live in the States. We met when I worked for Umbrella. I did security for a lab that manufactured vaccines in a remote region. That's all."

"That's not all. You two literally have a kid."

"Stop it, man."

She signaled left at the stop sign, turning onto Jack Street. "You've been more of a dad to Jenna than he ever was. I know it's a lot to take in, but you try at least."

"He's still her real father."

"Brad, shut up!" Chris's last attempt to intervene was cut short by Joan pulling into a parking space and slamming on the brakes. "Now she's pissed…" He muttered.

Car put into park, she looked over at Vickers as she killed the engine. "Look, I am sympathetic to your jealousy. Everyone feels that, but this isn't going to work if you're going to act like this. My daughter will always come before me and I will always try to meet her needs. It's not about me, it's about her. The sooner you get that through your head, the sooner you'll understand why I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than ever take David back. I love you and I love Jenna. That's it. Everyone else doesn't matter. Whatever you're thinking: put it to rest or go home and sober up."

Brad visibly flinched when she slammed the door shut. Air blown out his nose, the brunette mopped a hand over his face, quiet for a moment. "…Goddammit."

Chris unbuckled his seatbelt in silence, leaning forward to clap Brad on the shoulder. "Write her a bad poem. Give it to her with some dandelions. That should smooth things over." Unlocking the rear door, he stepped out too. "C'mon Vickers, let's get you some coffee."

Joan was behind the bar by the time the two wandered in, despite still being dressed in the same attire she'd worn while entertaining at the wedding. "It's been a long time since I saw you last, Captain. What brings you by?" Her bright eyes followed Jill and Rebecca for a moment and lifted to him as she cracked open two long necks.

A single blond brow lifted. "Boredom and babysitting."

"Oh, well then… Johnny Walker. Right?" The brunette girl's award winning smile flashed briefly. Ice, glass, and liquor after; she slid the glass over to him with a sigh. "On the house, so long as you don't start frisking people."

A long sip taken from the glass, Wesker's lips briefly pursed. "What was happening in front of the Depot?"

"Oh, you saw that? David decided to make the mistake of speaking to me." Tongue rolling along the inside of her cheek, she frowned. "Spencer's dog." Rotating her own glass against the bar, she just shook her head. "I wish I had never joined up and taken the assignment on Rockfort."

"Oh, Joan. We all had fun. Well, you didn't. He liked picking on you quite a bit."

"You were only there for three months. I was there for two years and I regret ever getting tangled up with that man. Jenna doesn't need to know him." Another glass poured, she sipped it down like spring water.

"Vickers is probably a safer bet."

"Mmm… you'd think so, but he had the great idea to piss me off too tonight."

The blond blinked, eyes going wide behind his shades as he listened. Looking for an out immediately, he found it in Jill waving him over. "You can't kill him, Joan. I need him. I'm sure he'll figure out how to make it up to you."

"We shall see…" Her eyes lifted to Miss Chambers. "Beers are on the bar, Rebecca." Turning, she carried her glass to the sink at the other side and disappeared into the back. One heel after the other pulled off, she left them behind on the cooler before she made her way to the back stoop under a blanket of stars.

When she came back in from a needed break, a napkin of all things was rolled up in one of her heels. She snorted when she read the message left on it.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

I'm a jerk,

Your hair looks nice.

Rolling her eyes, she pinned it to the board with the work schedule before heading back out.

Rebecca and Jill cheered when Wesker sank the 8 ball into a pocket on the other side of the room. "We win." Rebecca beamed. "I want my jeep waxed too."

"That's not fair; you had the captain make the shot." Ed was almost pouting.

"Oh, you had no issue with him doing it when you two thought he wasn't going to win it for us!"

"Yeah, but he doesn't suck at pool. We thought he might suck at it."

"Well it serves you right for judging him. Shame on both of you." Rebecca grinned.

Leaning against the bar, Joan listened while Chris dazzled a few of the group with another tale from the Airforce. Fingers lacing with Brad's idle ones, her lips twitched up at their edges when he squeezed. Forgiveness came as a kiss against his cheek when he turned to pick up his cup of coffee.

Most of the group had taken off when the clocktower chimed at midnight. The remaining parties had ties loosened, jackets off, heels dropped and hair down at long last. Jukebox set to play the full list, Joan settled on one of the couches next to Brad. "It's 'Never Have I Ever'. Rules are simple. You take a drink if you've done the thing the person says they've never done. Alright, I'll start." Joan sighed. "Never have I ever owned a dog."

Everyone else groaned, taking a drink.

Brad was next. "Never have I ever flown with an airline."

Everyone else took a drink.

Chris was next, peering at his drink for a moment. It was time to start getting creative. "Never have I ever had sex with Brad."

Joan rolled her eyes at the collective snickering, taking a drink.

His date, Morgan, followed. "Never have I ever had sex with a woman."

Every man and Joan took a drink. Brad nearly choked. "What?"

Joan just shrugged. “I dated her for three years too.”

Jill peered at her glass for a moment, elbows on her knees. "Never have I ever been out of the country."

Most of the group had to take a drink.

Wesker sighed a bit, peering towards the bar as he thought. "Never have I ever paid for sex."

Brad and Joan both took a drink. Both gave the other a sidelong look.

Chris about died laughing right then and there. "Joan, you need to open up more to us. We're clearly not getting the best stories during happy hour."

"I think we all want to hear this story." Wesker smirked a bit, arm stretching along the back of the couch both he and Jill occupied.

Glass on the squatting table, she laughed. "Alright, alright. Is it safe to assume that you were saying that you never paid a working girl for their time?"

"I suppose you could, yes."

"I paid a woman in Germany for her time because it was on my bucket list. We ended up going to a movie and eating at a Donor Kebab stand. Her name was Sindy with an 'S'. I loved her to pieces."

"That's not paying for sex, though." Chris replied, sighing deeply. "I thought we were going to hear one of these wild and crazy 'Joan Piper: Lady of the Night' stories."

"I bet she remembers Joan still, unlike any man that crawled on top of her and wheezed his way through two minutes of the best time of his life." Jill uttered.

Albert let out a snort, shaking his head.

Joan's pearl grin was visible even in the dim light. "Alright, my turn. Never have I ever learned how to speak German fluently."

Only Albert took a drink, a couple brows raised.

"Never have I ever given oral."

Everyone just stared.

"That's not something you want to say in this game, Brad." Chris snorted, covering his face with a palm as he began to laugh. Red faced, he wiped away a few tears. "Oh shit, I'd be lost without you in my life Vickers."

"This is rather educational." Wesker uttered, receiving a slap to the arm from the female to his left. "What?"

Breath relaxing, Chris leaned back next to Morgan. "I've never… Huh, gotta think for a bit. Oh, Never have I ever had a 'ménage a trois'."

Jill's eyes were the size of dinner plates as not only did Miss Piper take a drink but… "What, really?"

Albert merely lifted a single blonde brow after taking a sip from his drink. "What? It was a long time ago."

Brad's jaw about fell to the floor.

"Wait, we heard my paying for sex story. You have to tell us about the threesome."

A deep sigh and Wesker pitched his gaze toward the ceiling. "It was during college, the two ladies living across from me in the dormitories—…"

"Okay, I've heard enough." Jill refilled her glass. "Sounds like the opening of a porno."

"We are spending way too much time together when Captain Wesker is talking about having a three way." Brad mumbled.

Chris's face was in both of his hands as he laughed.

Stare shifted to Jill, Wesker shrugged. "I was eighteen. Nobody would have passed that opportunity up."

Across from them, Joan leaned in to speak quietly to Brad.

"They're fuckin'."

Brad just nodded.

"You really think those two are?" Sleeves rolled up, Brad dunked another glass in soapy water.

"Who?" Joan asked, hanging her dress from a knob to one of the cabinets. Dressed down in a sweater and jeans, she felt a million times better.

"You know who. Captain Perfect and his best gal pal?"

She grinned, wiping down the glossy top of the bar. "They are or they're going to. It was pretty obvious when she reacted like that." She looked over to Brad. "Nobody is perfect, though."

Glasses set on the rack, Brad swiped the bar towel from her to dry his hands. "That could have been us."

Arms stretching above her head, the woman sighed. "True. We would have been forced to sneak around, only able to see one another during graveyard shifts. Screwing in your aircraft. So romantic…"

Brad snorted. "I'll talk to her about it. It might save her some headache."

"I thought this was strip poker." Forest said, taking a look at his hand.

"Well, the only one here who would want to see something like that is Richard…" Ed muttered.

Richard let out a chuckle. "None of you are my type, thanks for thinking of me though, asshole." A pearly grin appeared across his face when everyone else at the table chuckled. "Callin' it… Oh what the fuck, Brad."

"That's like the fourth hand, dude!" Joseph groaned, cards dropped on the table. "He's cheatin'."

"I don't cheat," The brunette sounded hurt when he gathered up his chips.

"Yeah, Joe. He doesn't cheat. We'd know if he ever did. Joan would be on CNN screaming she'd toss him in the wood chipper again." Forest replied with a smirk, finishing off his beer. "How long have you two been together?"

Brad cut the deck, shrugging. "Little over two years now?" His brow furrowed at the expressions all around. "What? Why?"

"When are you going to ask her?" Kenneth reached down, picking up his lighter.

"Ask her what?"

Everyone sighed.

"Ask her to marry you, dumbass." Joseph tossed off his bandana, raking a hand through bright red hair. "Have you even looked at a ring?"

"He's got one…" Forest leaned in, squinting… leaning in more when Brad recoiled. "…He's carrying it right now."

"How the fuck do you do that, man?" Vickers couldn't even react before Joseph had snaked a hand into the pocket of his vest, fishing out a box.

"Jackpot, boys. Ahhhhh! Hey!" His hand jerked to avoid a swipe at it. "We get to see it before you give it to her."

"It might be a Ring Pop and that's not going to work, chief," Kenny replied, the ash from his cigar flicked into the tray on the table. His brows lifted when the box was offered over to him. "Mmm… that's pretty nice."

Forest wrinkled his nose when he looked at the ring tucked in white satin lining. He let the box go when it was snatched. "You couldn't afford this. Are you a drug lord now?"

"It was my great grandmother's. Lay off." Brad replied, tucking the box away. He went right back to shuffling the cards.

"It's a nice ring, Brad," Richard added, trying to lower the temperature of the room. "When do you think you'll ask?"

"I'm asking her at the jazz festival."

"That's not until September," Ken commented, confused.

Cracking open another bottle, Joseph snorted. "He's going to need until then to get up the courage."

Dealing out cards, Brad was fuming. "Joseph, when was the last time you went on a date?"

"I can't go on dates, Brad. You know your mom gets jealous." He and his chair suddenly went over when Brad put him in a headlock.

Forest's jaw dropped.

Ed cackled up a storm. "Get 'im Vickers!"

"Can you guys stop so we can play some fuckin' cards?" Richard asked, picking up his drink as the cards, chips, and table went toppling over. "…Nevermind."

The house was older but it had a new roof. The white picket fence needed some work, grass growing tall along it. One of the windows in the back had a crack in it. A new coat of paint needed to be slapped on the south side. It would need some love, but they had plenty to spare.

Sunliner in the driveway, Joan pulled another box out of the backseat. She left it in a room painted in a cozy rose color. It would be Jenna's room soon. She took her time walking to the back door, turning about to gaze around.

A house, a real house.

She was going to get everything she wanted after all. A glass of sun tea in tow, it took some jiggling to get the back door open. "I think that needs fixed too."

Brad looked up from the lawnmower turned on its side. "Same with this, thanks babe." He drained the glass in seconds. It was unusually hot for late spring. "I think I'm just going to call a landscaper. This isn't working."

"Jack said it worked last week. Who knows…" Sitting down next to him, she took a moment to admire the ring on her hand. It always brought a little smile to her lips. So did he. "I'm just happy I get to wake up every morning and kiss you while living on Kiss Street."

Brad's turn for an eyeroll. "Cheese ball." His attempt to get away was met with a firm grip on his shirt and lips stealing a kiss.

"Just think... we'll be married next October."

He smiled fondly. "I can't wait."

Red pooled between them.

"I love you, Brad. I… We had a good life together." She worked the ring off her finger, offering it up. He still had a chance. She wasn't going to let that memory die with her.

He hesitated, then tucked the ring into his vest. "I love you too…" There was no arguing with her at this point. Her hands in his, he kissed her knuckles one last time.

She was already gone.

He wept in the dark for her.

This transit station will be completed and operational by 2022 or in the first quarter of 2023. I really look forward to seeing this development become a reality.

Vitruvian Park in Addison, TX

Vitruvian Park in Addison, TX, is 19 acres of the spring-fed creek. This park has an open green space that showcases beautiful amenities that serve as the heart of amenities. It’s a world-class park that shows public art participation, live performances, venues, and dramatic features. I love the Vitruvian Park showing dozens of perfectly lit trees, especially during the Christmas season. The light is the best. There’s a safe and concrete walking path that’s perfect for hanging out and watching over. I’ve been to this park several times, and it’s definitely one of my favorite places. Lights are charming, and the sweet sound of music makes the night fantastic. Vitruvian Park is a family-friendly park. It’s a nice park to visit for a perfect photo op with your family.

ACCESSING FILES...

ADVANCED CASE FILES: STORM

BASICS

BIRTH NAME: Angel Juelz Rodriguez

NICKNAME(S): A, Ange. Stormy.

DATE OF BIRTH: November, 7th (Scorpio).

AGE: 36.

GENDER: Trans Male.

PRONOUNS: He/Him.

NATIONALITY: Spanish American.

HOMETOWN: Madrid, Spain.

CURRENT RESIDENCE: Turnstone, USA. New York, New York.

OCCUPATION: Bartender.

ORIGIN:

Angel was born with his powers, he had them dating back to as long as he could remember. He was born the son of Ramon and Sylvia Rodriguez. Ramon himself had the abilities of Celestial manipulation and Sylvia was a local hairdresser, that practiced Brujeria. They hadn’t expected Angel to become a ‘mutant’ with sorcery powers, because Ramon had hid his gifts from his family and never disclosed with them the information, in turn, he never knew he came from a long line of mutants and Sylvia’s family only were ‘practitioners’ of Brujeria - none of them ever had powers that displayed anything that Angel did at such a young age.

But when his son, former daughter, displayed glowing white eyes and hands that were surrounded by lightning - from throwing a temper tantrum - they soon realized that Adam had powers. When Angel turned 13, he was in the middle of transitioning, when his parents died in a air plane crash, leaving Angel with his progressively ill turning grandmother. Angel was able to get his top surgery and afford a few months of his t shots, but when medical bills, regular bills occurred Angel went to stealing. His grandmother never knew what he did to get the money, she honestly was too sick to even give much thought and research into it. He had become a master thief, using his powers to distract people from strong wind gust, to random lightning strikes, to even having a tornado tease the area. He stole his way back into good standing and got his grandmother back into good health.

Once he turned seventeen, stealing wasn’t enough. Everyone knew his tactics, knew who he was, and expected him. So he started off trying to get a normal job, but no one wanted a streetrat or a riff raff working for them. Needless to say, he had a rougher childhood and knew that, it wasn’t until he was eighteen that a male, his former mentor, came and found him. He thought he was just stealing for a common man, but the man seemed to be twelve steps ahead of him... and in his head. A telepath? In the small Spanish town, Angel thought that he was the only one in the world with supernatural powers, convinced  him that he was more than a thief or street rat.

He convinced Angel to come to the US and start a better life for himself and help those mutants that were hiding, along with learning himself. Within his first year there, he was already smitten with a fellow super and ended up having a baby with said man. They soon decided to get married and live a happy life. He knew that it was fast, but he was a new person there and living a better life. Through many years he has went through hell, disasters, and even a few deaths through him learning how to use and control his powers - deeming them an environmental hazard if he got too out of hand.  Years later and the Advocate comes up and it just something that Angel is interested in. Mentoring future and upcoming heroes and powered beings. Along with partaking in some missions and such, himself.

Sorcery:

Sylvia family practiced Brujeria, for generations, and it is believed that their idol blessed Angel, and his siblings, with the acts of being able to actually perform some of the Brujeria through sorcery. Angel has also humbled himself with this ability, because he knows if he isn’t careful that it could do some major damage. He had disciplined himself with learning various forms of magic from brujeria to voodoo to wicca to chaos to love and madness magics. He has been able to alter reality, create illusion, create voodoo dolls, summon things, scry, and even control people’s motor skills.

[sciencenewsforstudents]

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that large numbers of e-cigarette users have been hospitalized with severe lung disease. Since June 28, there have been at least 450 cases reported across 33 states and one U.S. territory. Most were teens and young adults. Most worrying: There have been five deaths.

Explainer: What are e-cigarettes?

“So far, no definitive causes have been established,” said Dana Meaney-Delman. She is part of the lung-injury-response group at the CDC in Atlanta, Ga. She spoke at a September 6 news conference.

At the briefing, federal and state health authorities said the outbreak might trace to some particular substance vaped. Or, they noted, it might be due to some special type of vaping device. For now, they don’t know.

Health officials, including those with the CDC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, began issuing periodic updates on the outbreak on August 23. These agencies are working with state health departments to better understand what’s behind the outbreak.

Symptoms have included shortness of breath and chest pain. Some people had diarrhea. Others complained of being tired or having gut distress, including vomiting.

Even though the cases appear similar, CDC cautions that “it is not clear if these cases have a common cause or if they are different diseases with similar [symptoms].” All patients had used e-cigs before falling ill.

For now, federal health officials urge people not to vape. They point out that vaping can be especially harmful to kids, young adults and pregnant women.

Not the first sign of risks

Vaping’s link to lung risks should comes as little surprise. Earlier studies had shown that e-cig use can lead to chronic lung symptoms and worsened asthma in teens. Some high-school vapers developed “smoker’s cough,” including chronic bronchitis (Bron-KY-tis) and wheezing.

Teen vaping has sparked alarm among health professionals. Last year, 1 in 5 high schoolers reported recent e-cig use. That’s a 78 percent jump over the year before. That finding comes from the National Youth Tobacco Survey. And it prompted FDA to restrict the sale of certain flavors of e-cig liquids — ones with flavors that appeal to teens.

Many of the recently hospitalized e-cigarette users reported having recently vaped THC. It’s the ingredient in marijuana that makes people “high.” Little research has been done on the lung impacts of vaping pot. However, the American Lung Association suspects that marijuana may produce lung effects similar to what has been seen with typical e-cigarette use.

On September 6, doctors and health officials from several U.S. states released a series of studies describing the new cases. Officials in Wisconsin and Illinois described 53 vapers who had developed severe lung illness. Most were young people who had been otherwise healthy. More than eight in every 10 were male. Nearly one in every three were 17 or younger.

Almost all of the patients were hospitalized. Roughly one-third needed a ventilator to help them breathe. Of 41 patients who gave detailed interviews, 61 percent had vaped liquids containing nicotine. Eight in every 10 had vaped THC products. Nearly half had used both, according to a September 6 report in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The New York State Health Department has begun focusing its investigation of severe lung injuries in vapers on vitamin E acetate. It has already been found in samples from some analyzed products, including those pictured here. CREDIT: New York State Department Of Health/Flickr (CC BY 2.0)

Possible suspects eyed in new outbreak

The New York State Department of Health is eyeing one suspect substance. On September 5, it reported that high levels of vitamin E acetate had been found in some vape products containing marijuana. Vitamin E acetate is a dietary supplement. It’s also used in some skin care products.

Illona Jaspers studies inhalation toxicology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill. The lungs aren’t designed to handle the range of chemicals and toxic materials that can be released by e-cigarettes, she says. Substances that are safe to eat, such as vitamin E acetate or the flavors added to vaping liquids, can pose risks to the lungs. “When you change the route of exposure, you are changing the potential for toxicity,” she says.

However, Jaspers notes, even if vitamin E acetate were behind the new outbreak, there are other chemicals released by vaping that could also harm the lungs. “Heavy vapers who got scared by all of this may now have this false sense of security, saying ‘Oh, I’m not doing the vitamin E stuff. So I can continue.’” That, she warns, “is a bad idea.”

In North Carolina, five patients with illnesses potentially linked to vaping developed a noninfectious form of pneumonia. CDC shared details September 6 in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. All five said that they had vaped THC concentrates or oils purchased on the street. Doctors diagnosed lipoid pneumonia in the patients. It occurs when oils or fat-containing substances enter the lungs and provoke inflammation.

FDA is testing more than 120 samples of vaping products for a broad range of chemicals. These include nicotine and THC. “The samples we’re continuing to evaluate show a mix of results,” said Mitch Zeller. He directs FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products in Silver Spring, Md. He notes that “no one substance or compound, including vitamin E acetate, has been identified in all of the samples tested.”

Lungs are not the only organs at risk

Even before the latest hospitalizations, there were concerns about risks of lung disease. Cell studies pointed to possible immune problems and dental problems. Some studies turned up signs of impaired wound healing, genetic changes and heart risks. In addition, studies have warned of the possibility in teen vapers of nicotine addiction or a transition to smoking conventional cigarettes.

Some health risks being linked to vaping are similar to those seen with smoking conventional cigarettes. Other risks, such as seizures, may be novel and unique to the unusual liquids and high-nicotine exposures possible with certain newer types of e-cigs.

“We do know that e-cigarettes do not emit a harmless aerosol,” said Brian King at a press briefing August 23. He works in CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health. It’s in Atlanta, Ga. The available evidence, he says, indicates that chemicals in an e-cig’s vapors “could be problematic” when it comes to lung disease.

ACA Enrollment: Premium Tax Relief & Cost-Sharing Subsidies

Am I eligible?

How much relief will I get?

How do I claim the benefit?

Who should I talk to?

Let’s take these important questions in order

Am I eligible for PREMIUM TAX RELIEF AND COST SHARING REDUCTIONS?

Almost certainly! Well over 80% of people who enrolled through the Health Exchanges for 2019 (over 10 million people and their dependents) had the benefit of premium tax relief.

The upper-income limit for premium tax relief is 4x the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). For a family of 2 this set at $65,240 and for a family of 4, $103,000.

If your household income is below these limits you will be entitled to premium tax relief.

If your household income is less than 2.5x the FPL you will be entitled to cost-sharing reductions, on your co-pays and co‑insurances. NOTE. CSRs are only available on Silver plans but for most people offer lower overall costs and greater security.

2. How much RELIEF will I get?

As you can see this depends on the size of your family and your household income.  There are variations between States but these must be more generous than the Federal limits.

As a guideline, in 2019 subsidies averaged over 85% of the premium amount.

Subsidy (premium tax relief) is based on the cost of a ‘silver’ metal plan or as legislated by your state.  It is, therefore, possible that your essential health insurance cover, based on a Bronze plan, can be Free!

3. How do I claim the BENEFIT?

First, you are only entitled to premium tax relief if you purchase your health insurance coverage via an Exchange (Federal, State or Private).

There are two ways.

You can claim your premium tax subsidy in advance. It will be paid to your health insurer throughout the year and deducted from your monthly premiums.  It is estimated that the average monthly premium (2020) for a family of 4 will be approximately $1500.  Don’t be alarmed!  The average tax subsidy is over 85% which would make the net payment $225 per month. That is what puts the ‘AFFORDABLE’ into the Affordable Care Act. Remember these benefits apply only to ACA compliant coverage bought through an Exchange (the Marketplace).

Note When you apply you will need to confirm your circumstances to establish your eligibility for premium tax relief. This is fairly straightforward but if you are self- employed or have an irregular income it may be simpler to claim the tax credit when you file your tax return next Spring (see below).

Alternatively, you can claim your entire tax relief when you file your tax return next Spring. As noted above, this may suit applicants with fluctuating incomes, e.g. self- employed or commission/bonus related. In most cases, families will benefit from the security of lower, fixed price coverage.

The CSR benefits are automatically included in silver plans for those families that qualify (your exchange will advise you at the time of application). If you qualify for CSR, silver plans offer extremely good value, especially if you anticipate frequent trips to the Doctor’s surgery or regular need for prescription drugs. The premiums will be higher than for bronze plans but they offer better coverage and the out of pocket maximum will be lower.

4. Who should I talk to?

If you are renewing your coverage, take the time to consider any change in your circumstances since this time (open enrollment 2019) last year.

What does the future hold? Can you predict any events that might affect your family’s health insurance needs?  Confidentiality is assured so discuss these changes with your current insurer. Were you happy with their service? Did your in-network providers have the capabilities you need now?  Is your coverage still ‘best value?’

Do not roll-over without asking questions!

BEFORE YOU SAY YES

Talk to an exchange (Federal, State or Private)

All exchanges will give free, unbiased advice. The private exchanges such as TrueCoverage, generally offer a more flexible approach and take a wider view of health and care insurance. While Vision, Dental and Hearing insurances do not attract ACA benefits they complete the healthcare umbrella in a single package.
