OFFICE NEWS and VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES:
GIVE KIDS A SMILE DAY
AND MISSION of MERCY:These programs were introduced five years ago
by the American Dental Association. The Northern Virginia Dental Society
coordinates our local programs. Over 200 children and adults, who otherwise
could not attain basic dental care, benefit from these programs. Our office
team gets great satisfaction in knowing that we are making a difference
and we are glad we are able to volunteer for these all day events.
SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS: Our office
also volunteers at local grade schools to teach children about dental health.
With our fun interactive presentations in the classrooms, we teach the children
how to care for their teeth and gums, encourage them to wear mouthguards
for sports, and eat healthy foods. The children love the new toothbrushes
they receive!
CONTINUING EDUCATION: Dr. Rye attended the Yankee Dental Conference
in Boston where she attended several lectures and workshops Our staff will
also attend the annual Nations Capital Dental meeting where our team members
will take various courses to update us on new techniques in the dental field.
Our staff attended a regional infection control class. We like to stay current
on any standards and changes which help us provide the best and safest care
to our patients.
