THE OBSERVER | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 2015
Check out HCCC spring open house Hudson County Community College will host a spring open house for potential students Saturday, April 11, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the college’s Culinary Conference Center, 161 Newkirk St., two blocks from the PATH Journal Square center in Jersey City. The college will waive its application fee for prospective students who attend the open house. “There is a common misconception that these open houses are exclusively for those who are about to graduate high school; but that is not the case,” said HCCC President Dr. Glen Gabert. “These events are for everyone who is thinking about attending college. That includes those who delayed their studies to start their families, those who began college and left, and those who want to reinvent or revitalize
their careers and their lives.” Gabert said that HCCC is the perfect first step to acquiring a college degree without becoming saddled with debt that often is associated with higher education. Its tuition is a fraction of the cost of four-year organizations. If someone is contemplating a bachelor’s degree, they can save tens of thousands of dollars by getting their associate’s degree at HCCC and then transferring. Additionally, about 90% of the students receive financial assistance and/or scholarships from the HCCC Foundation. The open house will offer information about the college’s admissions process and its 51 degree and 15 certificate programs, a financial-aid workshop, the transfer agreements HCCC has with four-year colleges
and universities, and the noncredit offerings for personal enrichment and professional development. Attendees can also learn about HCCC’s transfer agreement with St. Peter’s University and its Dual Admission Program with New Jersey City University. In addition, they will be able to tour the college’s Journal Square Campus, and meet and talk with HCCC students, faculty, and other members of the college’s professional staff. Those interested in attending the spring open house are asked to register online at http://www.hccc.edu/ openhouse/. Questions about the open house, the HCCC admission process and the course offerings may be addressed by emailing admissions@hccc.edu or calling 201-714-7200.
Best to replace missing back tooth Smile Design Specialists, 312 Belleville Tpk., North Arlington, announces National Prosthodontics Awareness week (NPAW) is April 12 to 18. With 178 million people in the U.S. missing at least one tooth and 33 million Americans having no natural teeth, NPAW aims to increase awareness about the importance of proper oral health and prosthodontic solutions to missing teeth.
Smile Design’s Dr. Richard Ekstein says that patients often ask if they have to replace a missing tooth in the back of the mouth, since no one can see it. His answer is yes. When you lose even a single tooth, he notes, it will result in bone loss, changes in bite, cause food impaction and result in adjacent teeth moving forward towards the missing space. The longer one waits to get
it replaced, the more challenging the clinical situation is; yet if you fix it fast, the cycle stops. Ekstein is one of only 16 board-certified prosthodontists -- specialists with advanced residency training in replacement of missing teeth -- in New Jersey. For an immediate appointment for any dental issue or a second opinion, call 201-991-1228.
