Tis the season for gift giving and we’ve got some great ideas for you! Who says you can’t give the gift of a great oral hygiene? Here at the office, we sell some wonderful products at the best prices around. We price shopped the closest department stores to be sure our prices are the lowest on things like Sonicare toothbrushes and Waterpiks. Waterpik is a great product for people with braces or bridges in their mouth. It can even help those who have a hard time committing to flossing. (we still recommend flossing over anything else!) Sonicare toothbrushes are rechargeable electric toothbrushes, great for anyone. We carry the Sonicare Flex and Sonicare Healthy here at the office. You can visit their web site to view these models. Aside from these 2 great products, our patients in the past have surprised their loved ones by pre-paying for custom whitening trays! We’ll take $100 off when you purchase these. An appointment is necessary to begin making the trays by taking impressions, so call to schedule today! We wish you all a safe and wonderful holiday season.

*note: its a good idea to call ahead to be sure the product of your choice is in stock before stopping in

During this time of year as the weather begins to get colder and the holidays fastly approach, it is important to step back and examine the needs of others. As you may know, we have been collecting food donations for the hunger task force here in our office. Our donation bucket is 3/4 quarters full! We are so thankful to all of you who have taken the time to stop in and donate!

Aside from feeding the hungry, another cause in need of attemtopm is HIV and AIDS awareness. In our neighboring state of Minnesota, as well as sometimes New York and California, Camp Heartland is a safe and understanding place for young people to find support. Many of the children who attend these camps are surviving with the HIV and AIDS virus. Others who attend have family members infected with this disease and come to the camp for education and support from camp counselors and peers. Children are flown to these locations from their home towns to spend part of their summer. The travel and camp is paid for by donations alone. Between 8am today (11-17-09) and 8am tomorrow (11-18-09) a company has pledged to match anyone’s donation, dollar for dollar to help the children in need. You can visit their web site at: www.givemn.org and donate to One Heartland. They accept donations year round.

Little by little, we can all make a big difference!
