At Community Dental we see patients of every age from 9 months to 99 years. They represent the
past and, we hope, the future of dental health.
Harold Smith, who’s 85, first came to us a year ago. Several of his teeth had to be extracted. After his gums healed we began the process of
creating dentures for him. He has beautiful
new teeth now, but adjusting to dentures takes time and they’re never quite the
same as your own teeth. Harold is
getting the hang of it and is happy to be able to chew real food and smile
without embarrassment, but we’d be happier if he’d never had to go through this
ordeal at all. Harold is a big social
networker and likes to connect with
people both in person and on Facebook.
Having his smile back has meant the world to him.
Zion Morton is just two years old. Hecame in for his very first visit on the same day Harold had his final denture fitting. He sat in his mom’s lap as Keri, one of our hygienists, cleaned his teeth and Dr. Barroso gave him a gentle examination. He played with the dinosaur dental puppets and when he was ready to leave he got to pick out a toy. Now Zion thinks coming to the dentist is fun. His mom learned how to help him brush and floss his teeth and what foods and beverages will keep his teeth healthy. She’s committed to bringing him in twice a year for checkups. Zion has a great head start on a lifetime of good dental health.
Zion personifies Community Dental’s vision for Chester County.
Too many people living in the county suffer the consequences of poor dental
health—lack of self-confidence, poor academic performance, limited career opportunities and poor general
health. We’re honored to be able restore their appearance and eliminate their pain,
but we can’t undo years of poor dental care.
Children like Zion who have a first visit by age one or two and receive care
regularly will not only have beautiful smiles, they’ll perform better in
school, become more employable and have better health for the rest of their
lives.
My friend suggested me to visit your blog. Very well explained. Dental Emergency
ReplyDeleteIt is very essential to maintain a good oral hygiene through natural ways. But it is equally important to visit a dentist as this will help in curing any dental problems at an early stage rather than it getting worse and costly. When i consulted dentist Mumbai i had to remove my tooth as it was too late and i suffered a tooth decay.
