🎻 All those years of violin lessons are being put to good use as Dr. Steph spent the last week in NYC with her sister, Dr. Serena, rehearsing and performing with the World Doctors Orchestra! 🎼

This amazing organization brings together doctor musicians from around the globe with a common goal to give back through music. ❤️‍🩹 We are so thankful for this opportunity to perform in the one and only Carnegie Hall and in the beautiful, historic St. Bartholomew’s Church in Manhattan.

☀️What did we do on our week off from the office? More dentistry! Dr. Steph headed to Grenada with her daughter, Kira, to provide free dental services with Great Shape, Inc. and their 1000 Smiles Project. It doesn’t feel like work when making a difference in people’s lives! ❤️‍🩹
Through and the Sandals Foundation, so many communities in need of urgent dental care throughout the Caribbean can be helped each year. 🤗
Many patients (both kids and adults) came in with anxiety and dental pain, and left with gratitude and hope for a brighter future. 🙏 💖 Hundreds of cleanings and sealants were done on kids by the hygiene program to promote preventive care.
Kudos to the incredible team of dentists, hygienists, students, and support staff for working 40+ hours in 86 degrees and humidity, and making it a memorable and fulfilling week! 🎉

A big shoutout to the Tooth Fairy, aka our very own Dr. Purva Merchant! 🧚
Check out the The NY Times article that highlights her and the special smiles she brings to children everywhere. Keeping the magic alive! 🦷🧚💌

For 20 years, Dr. Purva Merchant has been answering letters from gaptoothed children and their parents via an email address that includes her nickname, the tooth fairy. “Happy growing up,” she typically replies. https://nyti.ms/44MQo23
