Doctors With a Heart Day 10.22.2009

This Thursday our office will participate in its 4th annual Doctors With a Heart Day. This special event was first conceived by an Iowa dentist named Duane Schmidt in the early 1980s. Dr Schmidt's intention was to inspire physicians, dentists, podiatrists, optometrists, physical therapists, and psychologists to pick one day a year to open their doors and provide free care to their community. Although originally the event centered on Valentine's Day, offices can pick whatever time of year works for them. We've found that as the holidays draw near and the prospect of all the other demands on people's spending increases (making dental care that much harder to obtain), we've enjoyed offering this service in late October each year. As a thank you not only to the North Columbus community that has nurtured and sustained our practice for over 30 years, but also to all those in need in Central Ohio, we're proud to open our doors from 8AM-5PM this Thursday to offer free dental care to anyone who thinks they would benefit. We'll have seven volunteer dentists from around Columbus to extract and fill teeth, adjust dentures, provide cleanings and more on a first-come, first-served basis. We saw 180 patients last year and hope to be able to help even more in 2009. For directions, further information, and to download and print registration forms, please visit us here . Please pass this along to anyone you think may benefit, and we'll look forward to seeing you on the 22nd! Northstone Dental Group 1730 Schrock Rd Columbus, OH 43214
