  - TRANSCRIPT OF QUESTION AND ANSWER
    - I’m 25 and can never remember going to the dentist; ever. People tell me all the time that I have a great smile. But over the last four weeks, I’ve had a nonstop pain in my tooth. I don’t have dental insurance and it’s hard to find a dentist where I am. Can my primary care provider help?Cristy: This is also a big question of access to dental care and trying to figure out insurance coverage and cost as a piece of this. The best person to see when you have pain, especially with something that’s been going on that long is a dentist. But if you have a primary care provider and that person is easier to get into then I think it’s very appropriate for you to go there. The primary doctor might be able to help you, look to see if there’s an abscess, infection or something that’s visible, maybe help you with pain medicine or antibiotics as you’re getting in to see the dentist.
      Adam: Cristy, I think you said it exactly correct. I think dental abscesses need treatment they need to see a dentist but your doctor has a role to play. It’s a team.
      Cristy: It is a team. But really working to get in with a dentist is the right thing to do and you can ask about cost and insurance, but if you have a big infection down there, it needs to be treated.

Living for 32 with Colin Goddard

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Lynn Eades

This weekend on YOUR HEALTH®, we’ll be joined by gun violence prevention advocate and survivor of the 2007 Virginia Tech campus shooting massacre, Colin Goddard, about his new documentary,

Living for 32.

On a snowy, windy April day in Blacksburg, Virginia in 2007, young Americans pursued a college education and their teachers engaged in providing it to them. Thirty-two of them died, 17 more were wounded, and six more were injured jumping out of windows. One of those wounded was a 21-year-old senior International Studies major from Richmond, Virginia, named Colin Goddard. Goddard played a unique role in the horrific drama that played out at Virginia Tech University on that blustery April day: he was the only person within the building to call the police. By the end of the ordeal, the killer had fired at him at three separate moments during the eleven-minute assault. Goddard had been shot four times. He was later told he might not walk again, but fought his way through arduous physical therapy. And he grew a fire in his heart to do something about keeping dangerous people from having easy access to deadly weapons. “Living for 32” is his story.
