We are so excited to be joining the Rahny Taylor Morning Show every Tuesday for Tooth Day Tuesday! We will be talking about what Sharing Smiles means to us, how we think every patient (person!) deserves to be treated and how YOU can take care of your teeth at home!
We hope you tune in to hear us every Tuesday and in case you missed this morning, here is a link to our Marketing Director (also Dr. Wilk's daughter!), Erin, talking with Rahny and his team.
Happy TOOTH DAY TUESDAY, everyone!
In celebration of Oral Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Wilk will be providing FREE Oral Cancer Screenings on Wednesday, April 26th from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Community members are welcome to stop in at their convenience to take advantage of this FREE screening and take a positive step in their oral and overall health.
Oral Cancer Screenings will consist of an exam of your neck, jaw, tongue and the inside of your mouth. Dr. Wilk will also use a Velscope which is special light that can show abnormal cells in the mouth that are often times not visible to the naked eye. Exams will be done on a first come, first serve basis. Each exam will be 5 to 10 minutes long.
So, stop in on April 26th from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. for a FREE Oral Cancer Screening, or if you've been in recently and had your screening at your preventative visit, please tell your friends!
In case you missed it, here are the recordings of the radio interviews Erin did this week about our Sharing Smiles event happening this Saturday, March 25th from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Registration begins at 7:00 a.m.!
This Saturday, March 25th, marks our 7th annual Sharing Smiles Event! This is a day where our entire staff volunteers and provides free dental care to community members in need and without means. Registration will begin at 7:00 a.m. and we will see patients on a first come, first serve basis from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Treatment will be determined on an individual basis by the provider but exams, cleanings, fillings and extractions will be offered.
We are also taking both cash and canned good donations for the Hartford Food Pantry. Community members can drop off their Food Pantry donations any time this week during normal business hours or anytime on Saturday. It's just one way you can be a part of our Sharing Smiles mission!
We hope to see you this Saturday as we host this wonderful event again!
We were honored to be named the 2016 Business of the Year by the Hartford Area Chamber of Commerce! We received the award at the Hartford Chamber Annual Dinner on March 3rd, where Dr. Wilk thanked all of our staff for their dedication and hard work. We are truly grateful to be part of this community and for our Sharing Smiles philosophy to be noticed in this way.

Business of the Year for Hartford means a lot to us, as so does our community! Our mission of Sharing Smiles is about providing outstanding customer service and care to our patients when they are in the office, AND making sure we are giving back and Sharing Smiles beyond the doors of office as well.
Staff members enjoying the Annual Dinner!
And our community offers some wonderful events to get involved in. Just an example of some of our favorites (but not all!) are:
The Hartford Area Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing
Hartford Rotary Wine and Beer Tasting Night
The Medical Center Foundation of Hartford Goldbug Golf Outing
The Hartford Business Improvement District Christmas Parade
If you haven't attended or heard of some of these events, we encourage you to check them out! We also really look forward to our Sharing Smiles Events. More on this to come soon, as our next one is March 25th, but these are our days of free dentistry to serve community members in need and without means.

This award will serve as a great reminder of why we do what we do and what our mission is all about. We are truly honored and humbled to have received the 2016 Hartford Area Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year award and we thank the Chamber for recognizing us in this way!
