Today marks a bittersweet day for us all at All Smiles.
In 2017, an eager young lady with a stellar work attitude joined us at All Smiles. She was keen to learn, had a can-do attitude, and impressed us with a maturity beyond her age.
Over the past six years, she immersed herself into the brand new world of dental assisting and dental receptioning, never allowing the complexities of this often challenging job to intimidate or overwhelm her. Instead, she embraced each challenge and bounced back at every setback, choosing to live according to her values and grew in confidence, experience and intellect.
From today, there will be an intermission from her time at All Smiles as she transitions into something even more rewarding – trading the financial rewards of her responsibilities for stacks of nappy changes, mountains of baby wipes, and the sweet, sweet tender cuddles that only a newborn baby can bring.
Very soon, our beautiful Beth will be a Mum.
While we are overjoyed for Beth as she enters this exciting new chapter of her life, we also know that we will be dearly missing her presence at All Smiles. Beth has become so much a part of the All Smiles family and we know that our regular patients will likewise be missing her as she takes some time off to enjoy motherhood as a first time Mum.
To mark this momentous occasion, we have gifted Beth with:
1. A nappy cake with stacks of nappies to kickstart her collection;
2. The world's first and only personalised All Smiles Tooth plushie, for her baby's first introduction to the All Smiles family;
3. A Bluey bib – because every Aussie tot will jump onto the Bluey bandwagon sooner or later so we might as well start him off early – embroidered with a public service announcement to remind you to floss your teeth even while he can't (yet);
4. A personalised security blanket with a squishy sun because he will be her son (and we love puns);
5. A bottle of Champagne to celebrate this momentous occasion when the time comes, because this is such a beautiful, beautiful cause for celebration;
6. A faceless portrait of radiant Beth glowing in her pregnancy, digitally illustrated by hand with love;
7. Some teeth essentials to remind him that dental care is a priority; and finally;
8. Handwritten notes from the All Smiles team with our best Motherhood tips and well wishes, including "Do not leave the house without wet wipes" and the very essential "Do not forget your baby at the park".
We will miss you so much, our dear Beth, and look forward to having you back with us in the future. Please come to visit with your squishy bundle of joy so that we can all swoon over him and give him more baby toothbrushes.
