Newman Springs Dental Care is hosting its twelfth annual Dentistry From The Heart event on Thursday, October 4th at its office located at 539 Newman Springs Road in Lincroft.
Dental volunteers will offer attendees the gift of a free day of dentistry services on a first-come, first-serve basis.
“One day may seem insignificant, however we know it makes a difference in the lives of the people who come to us for help” said Dr. Mitchel Friedman. “Since bringing Dentistry From The Heart to New Jersey in 2007, we have helped other offices start their own events as well as volunteered to provide dental care with them. There is a large need and other generous dental teams have answered by serving their communities.”
Registration for Dentistry from the Heart begins at 7:00 a.m. and first 120 adults are guaranteed to be seen. Services offered include examinations, digital x-rays, blood pressure and Velscope (advanced oral cancer) screenings. Attendees 18 and over will also have the chance to choose an extraction, filling or cleaning.
Last year, Newman Springs Dental Care provided over $60,114 worth of free dental care to 99 patients in a single day. Since 2007, Dr. Friedman and his team have given $600,000 in care for more than 1400 grateful recipients in the greater Lincroft area.
This year, Doctors Aparna Menon, Amarpeet Suri, Allan Ruda, Beth DeAngelis, Jared Geldeband, Brian Paterson, and Jeffrey Zatzkin will join Dr. Friedman in donating skills and time to help patients relieve dental pain and fix dental problems. The volunteers will refer patients who need ongoing care or have immediate dental problems to community clinics where they can receive ongoing treatment at low or no cost.
Newman Springs Dental Care’s 2018 Dentistry from the Heart event is made possible thanks to its corporate sponsor, Henry Schein Dental, made possible by the generosity and hands-on volunteering of Noah Schayowitz. For additional information, visit here or call 732.978.4523.
