This is a half hour video of my trip to Jerusalem to volunteer and the DVI dental clinic.

Dear Friends,
In a few weeks I am going to volunteer at The Trudi Birger Dental Clinic’s Dental Volunteers for Israel (DVI) program, which is a free dental clinic in Jerusalem for poor children aged 4-26. The clinic has also started helping the other forgotten children of Jerusalem – youth at-risk, street kids and children living in shelters. All these children receive a full range of preventative and restorative dentistry at DVI, which I will help to provide. Most importantly, these children and their families receive this comprehensive care and oral hygiene education at no cost.
Although I am getting an apartment to stay in while volunteering by DVI, I am paying for my own flight and living expenses, and closing down my own office, in order to donate my time to this worthy cause.
Nothing is more painful than dental pain, and some of the children treated at this clinic are suffering from neglect directly related to their poverty. Because of DVI’s intervention, I see firsthand how my dental skills help put a smile back on their faces.
DVI’s existence depends on donations. Please consider contributing to this worthy cause and join me in supporting this work by sending DVI a donation of $36 or more, and help this wonderful program continue providing top quality dental care and keeping Jerusalem’s poorest children in school, where they belong.

We're very happy to welcome Stacie Colborn to our team. Stacie has been with us for three weeks now since Shelley moved on to retirement and Sariah sailed away to college at BYU. We will miss them but are very excited to add Stacie's extensive experience and warm personality to our staff.
Come in and say hello to Stacie!

This is "flash back Monday!" The picture on the top is our office in 1964 and the image on the bottom is as it is today. My father built the building in 1962 and worked here until his retirement in 2000. There have been modifications over the years that included adding square footage to the back of the office and two more recent remodels.
Winter Gardens Boulevard was a two lane thoroughfare many years ago. When it was widened to four lanes, the roadbed was raise up about four feet so that the building was no longer on the same elevation as the road. It was not a welcomed change back when done.
Regardless, our office has been a fixture for excellent dental care here in the Winter Gardens community for 58 years and we are happy to serve the fine residents (and those who live in other areas.) Thank you for your loyalty! We appreciate your patronage.

Summer has arrived (and so has the heat!)
We've been back at work for 5 weeks now since dental offices were given the green light to open back up again. A lot of our patients had to stay in a holding pattern, waiting for normal business to resume. Dental health doesn't go on vacation and dental problems don't go away during community outbreaks of various contagions.
As a reminder, we are practicing in a "safety first" environment in order to keep our patients and our staff safe. We go the extra mile to disinfect, sterilize and screen in order to reduce the spread of the COVID virus (and any other infectious disease.)
Call us for a check up. We would be very happy to help you maintain your optimal dental health.

We are losing our chair side assistant to retirement. It will be hard to replace her but we wish her the best. Good luck Shelley!

This is my 35th year anniversary of graduating from University of the Pacific Dental School this month. I think I have aged a bit since then. Advancing in age equals growth and perspective (hopefully).

I feel that life has been a blessing, including the time I am able to spend with patients and staff. I am rewarded every day by the trust others place in me. Thank you!

You will see this on our door. It is not because we don't want you to come in. We would like to help our community with all of their dental needs. Many people have had pressing tooth problems but haven't been able to do anything about them because their problems weren't considered to be a "emergencies."

We are equipped and ready to handle all dental needs and procedures because we are strictly following new protocols that will insure that we keep our patients and our employees safe. You will notice some things are different when you arrive. These changes are meant to avoid any transmission of any pathogen (let alone COVID). Something as simple as not reusing the dental burs that we use to remove decay from teeth is an example of steps we take to insure each patient is kept safe. We discard every bur after one patient use.

Give us a call. We are happy to take care of your dental needs.
