This Year, Make a New Year’s Resolution to Smile About!

Let’s face it- when was the last time you managed to keep a New Year’s resolution? We at Gentle Dental Associates believe the key to sticking to a goal is picking one that is both reasonable and attainable. If you haven’t yet picked a New Year’s resolution, consider setting one that will improve your oral health!

For example, resolve to brush twice and floss once a day. Good oral hygiene only takes a few minutes a day, and can make a big difference in your oral health and overall health too! For more oral health-themed resolutions for you and your family, check out this article.

We would love to see what you come up with, share with us by commenting on this post or on our Facebook page. Whatever your New Year’s Resolution, we wish you the very best for 2011!

-Happy New Year, from your friends at Gentle Dental Associates

FREE Fluoride Treatment for Each Patient that Donates to this Months Food Drive

This time of year especially, we are reminded that there are people in the world and in our communities that are in need of our help. This year Gentle Dental Associates has chosen to support an inspiring organization by the name of Food Gatherers in honor of Drs. Phyllis and Allen Seel. Below is the organization's goal:

"Food Gatherers exists to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes in our community by: reducing food waste through the rescue and distribution of perishable and non perishable food; coordinating with other hunger relief providers; educating the public about hunger; and developing new food resources."


In addition to Gentle Dental Associates donation, there will be a food drive in our office from December 13th to the 22nd. To encourage our patients to bring something in for the Food Drive, we will be offering a FREE Fluoride Treatment for every patient that brings in a food donation. For more information about the Food Gatherers organization and the special work they do for our community, please visit foodgatherers.org .
