How to participate:

We have recently completed our Soles for Souls campaign (our office was the drop off site). This community service project was brought to us by Jared and Ilana Hinson who collected the shoes from a large box in the reception area of our office. They were able to spread the word through school, religion classes and Girl Scouts that anyone with shoes in good condition that are no longer wanted, can deposit them at our office, and they will be given to those less fortunate. Needless to say the kids were so excited to learn that their project had collected over 700 pairs of shoes! The shoes were sent out through the Solid Rock Church, where missionaries visiting foreign countries will be giving away the shoes. Congratulations to Jared and Ilana on the success of your project, and thank you to all who so kindly donated.

(Our) commitment to quality and attention to detail has placed (us) in the top 1% of dental offices treating TDP enrollees."
The commendation came with TDP's very own Challenge Coin, which is a part of military tradition today.

Dr. Stern will be attending a two day course this Friday and Saturday where he will learn about, and be instructed on how to place All On Four Dental Implants. These implants are designed for patients who have been turned down for regular implants or even turned away by dentists who can't help them due to lack of bone to which a regular dental implant needs to attach. Some of the benefits of this procedure are: it is virtually painless; helps to prevent further bone loss; gives you teeth immediately (fixed denture); replaces your regular denture for life; minimal discomfort and healing time; easily maintained through proper oral hygiene; restores the ability to eat all types of food; creates a whole new smile in just one day.

Just a little look into our Holiday Luncheon! Santa and all his elves.
12/17/09
Dr. Stern and Dr. Drescher are currently at a BioLase Certification Class- designed for dentists who wish to incorporate lasers into their practice. The use of a laser will greatly reduce the trauma typically associated with surgical procedures. It minimizes bleeding, improves the healing process, and lessens discomfort. This effort is just another one of the ways that our doctors are continuing to provide the most current technology and advanced services to our patients.
12/1/09
To our valued patients:
As we head into the holiday season, we wanted to take the opportunity to tell you how much we value and appreciate you as a patient, and a member of our dental "family". We know you have many choices for oral health care and we are grateful you have chosen us.
As always, please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions, or if you would like to schedule an appointment.
Again, please accept our thanks for your continued support of our practice, and accept our very best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season.
Sincerely,
Dr. Steven Stern & the Windsor Dental Team

It is that time of year again- The time for giving!
This year Windsor Dental is working with Soles4Souls. Soles4Souls has a simple mission: To impact as many lives as possible with the gift of shoes.
Soles4Souls facilitates the donations of shoes, which are used to aid the hurting worldwide. Shoe companies, retailers, and individuals can donate footwear (both new and used). Soles4Souls is a 501(c)(3) recognized by the IRS, and donating parties are eligible for tax advantages.
The idea behind gifts of shoes is nothing new to the Soles4Souls team, as they coordinated relief efforts for the Asian Tsunami and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, netting over 1 Million pairs donated for these disasters. The team originally operated as www.katrinashoes.org with several churches partnering in the collection and distribution of footwear.
Please feel free to drop off your slightly used or new shoes at our dop box located in the entrace to our office or visit www.give shoes.org to how you can help in other ways.

Given the current condition of our economy it is sometimes easy to justify skipping your cleaning or deciding to disregard recommended dental treatment. Lost hours at work, extra expenses, or perhaps treatment you need that doesn't actually hurt yet, are all reasons you may use to justify avoiding the dentist. However, there is a strong, researched link between oral health and overall health and neglecting the former will inevitably cause a decline in the latter. Please take a few moments to check out this video about a woman who was hospitalized for days, all because of a tooth infection that could have been prevented with regular dental care. If you want to stay healthy, remember that oral health care is just as important as your regular health care.
Remember the saying: "Ignore your teeth and they'll go away."
--07/06/09
Keep an eye out for us while you're on the web - soon we'll have a Facebook profile and eventually videos available on YouTube. Who knows, maybe we'll even get onto Twitter! Any ideas, comments, or suggestions can be emailed to windsordentalcenter@gmail.com.

This is just a quick FYI for patients thinking about dental implants as a treatment option. If interested, please call our office at (845)565-6677 and ask for Melissa to set up your free consultation.
