What does Breast Cancer Awareness Month have to do with Dentistry??
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. What does Breast Cancer Month have to do with Dentistry? Not much, except for the fact that everyone knows a friend or family member who has been diagnosed or survived breast cancer. This hits close to home. One of our hygienist and some of our dearest patients and friends have battled breast cancer. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. One woman every 2½ minutes will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Over 200,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 40,000 of them will die from the disease. Breast cancer also occurs in men. In fact, over one thousand men will be diagnosed this year.
My husband and I are both dentists and when our hygienist was going through her battle with breast cancer 10 years ago, we wanted a way to show our support and make a difference. Every year during the month of October, we started putting the “Bling on” for people who want to raise
awareness and donate money for breast cancer research.
For a $25 donation (100% of the money will go towards breast cancer research), you can get a stylish Pink Gem Smile. To create this fashionable, cutting edge and stylish smile, a pink gem is temporarily bonded (glued) on your tooth by one of the Doctors at Smile More Dentistry. Get your BLING on and show your support and create awareness for breast cancer research during the month of October.
You can keep the pink gem indefinitely or come back to the office and have it removed at the end of the month. It only takes 5 minutes to put on and can easily be removed. There will be no changes to your tooth and no charge to have it removed.
To donate or get the stylish “Pink Gem Smile” visit give us a call at 845-359-1763 and let us know you want to “bling” on your teeth.
