Free Dental Care For A Day In Amherst NY

Free Dental Care For Those Without Insurance Today

I want to take the time to salute the three dentists in Amherst NY who donated their own time and expertise today to care for patients at no charge! These were patients who did not have insurance.

Given the expense of dental treatments, you can imagine how the recipients of this care felt.  Grateful, no doubt!

The doctors’ names are:

Dr. Jim Lesinski

Dr. Douglas Saturnino

Dr. Glen Donnarumma

They performed dental cleanings, placed fillings and extracted teeth today.

These doctors are worthy of praise for donating their time in this way. I cannot think of a better way to reach out to the community for these outstanding doctors.

The NEWS of this event was Posted in The Buffalo News, where I found it:

 

“Dr. Jim Lesinski, along with his friends Drs. Douglas Saturnino and Glen Donnarumma, saw 76 patients at Lesinski’s office on Sweet Home Road in Amherst. Patients received cleanings, fillings and, if needed, tooth extractions.

“Given everything going on with the economy right now, it’s important that we do this to let people know there are still good things happening out there,” said Lesinski.

The event was arranged by Dentistry From the Heart, a national nonprofit organization that organizes free dental care for those who can’t afford costly procedures. The nonprofit says it has helped more than 50,000 patients by providing more than $1 million worth of free care since its founding in 2001.”

I think the doctor is correct when he said that it is important for people to see that there are still good things going on in the world during these hard economic times.  This is exactly what it will take for us to get through this time, people coming together to help each other make good things happen.

It is a sad commentary that we are in these times, but here we are.  Let’s help each other and start to make things better.

Dentistry is a very needed service.  When there are toothaches something has to be done.  The pain can become excruciating.

Those who focus on prevention have the ability to reduce their dental health bills on expensive treatments by keeping their teeth, and even more importantly, their gums, healthy.

However, when that is not possible or was not accomplished, it is great to know that there are still doctors out there who are willing to help people who are without insurance.  To get this type of treatment was a real blessing to these people.

I cannot say enough good things about these doctors and the organization that supported them, Dentistry From The Heart.

What You Should Know about Gum Disease is an Important Book

by


How to Fight Gum Disease and Win!

This book could easily have been called, “How to Fight Gum Disease and Win”. Written in easy to understand layman terms, it is exactly the information you need whether you think you have gum disease or not.

It is also much more than a book on how to fight gum disease and win….

On the surface it is important because it helps people to understand how widespread the problem of gum disease is. If you think you are free of gum disease – there is a good chance that you are wrong.

The odds are not in your favor. I don’t say that to be negative or to put negative thoughts out there – I say it to be factual. Many people have gum disease RIGHT NOW and if you were to tell them they would not believe you.

What do the statistics say? Most periodontists will tell you that up to 80% of the population has it now. But let’s pretend that they are wrong and that they are wrong by a large margin. Let’s say they are only half right.

That would leave 40% of the population afflicted with gum disease. So, what are the chances that YOU have it right now? 4 out of 10? 8 out of 10? Are you willing to risk that?

Under the surface topic of the book, I really hit on things about life that are important. Your thoughts, your attitude and what is in your heart affects your daily life every single day – not to mention those whom you come in contact with. My book hits on these things – if not directly and obviously then sometimes subtly and not-so-obviously.

My book also brings to light a problem that we have as a species – the human species. We are plagued by something – we are plagued by the fact that there are good and bad people in this world. Sometimes the lines are blurred. You may think you are good, but maybe what you do isn’t so good. Perhaps you view yourself as a bad person but yet you do some good things that are really helpful.

So it is with every human being, including doctors, lawyers and -gasp- dentists. My book will help you to figure out when you are seeing a dentist who makes choices that are more about herself than about you. I know, it happened to me that a dentist was not acting in my best interest – more than once.

With my book, What You Should Know about Gum Disease, you will find that the basic laymen and easy to understand language will help you ‘get a clue’ about your dental health. It will help you to see and understand things in a way that makes total sense – and in a way that will help you evaluate the behaviors of the people working on your mouth.

My book is important in so many aspects, that every single person needs to read it.

I must concede that there is a much more important book than mine, however. The name of THAT book is Zhuan Falun.

I think you should read Zhuan Falun and I also think you should read my book on gum disease. If you can only choose one, then choose Zhuan Falun – its knowledge is far more reaching and encompassing in it’s depth and scope than mine.

But if you can read them both, I think that would be a good idea. Zhuan Falun is available at Amazon.

What You Should Know about Gum Disease is also available there. But you might prefer the e-book, depending on your inclination to read on the computer or to have a real book in your hand.

Either way, you cannot go wrong by reading both of the books I’ve mentioned here.
