DR. RICHARD DOWNING consults with a patient in his Shelton office, as dental hygienist Lori Lufkin looks on to the left at "Dentistry from the Heart." D00,,n.tal crew puts in flee service day " Shelton dentist Dr. Richard Downing recently offered free den- tal services to those in the commu- nity without dental coverage. Joining him were his associate, Dr. Chris Burton, fellow local den- tists Dr. Reid and Dr. Katherine Ketcher, Dr. Melissa Lee of Seat- tle and Dr. Chris Muller of Port Orchard, all of whom volunteered their services for a day. Students in the dental assis- tance program at South Puget Sound Community College also gave a hand, while a number of businesses and organizations con- tributed to the cause. "I couldn't have done it without them," Down- ing said gratefully. All told, his office performed at least 32 cleanings and between 20 to 30 fillings, as well as a number of extractions during the day's work.

Pa- tient assessments at Yale University School of Medicine concluded that tong-term postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) users have more elastic skin and less severe wrinkling than women who never used HRT. Estrogen appears to aid in the prevention of skin aging in several ways. Topical and systemic estrogen therapy can increase the skin collagen content and therefore maintain skin thickness. Estrogen maintains skin moisture. Topical es- trogen has been found to accelerate and improve wound healing in elderly men and women, and HRT may play a beneficial role in cutaneous injury repair. Topical 2% progesterone has also been found to increase elasticity and firmness in the skin of peri- and postmenopausal women. These ef- fects in combination with good toler- ability make progesterone a possible treatment agent for slowing down the aging process of female skin after onset of the menopause.
