GALFUND FAMILY DENTISTRY proudly announces from November 2 through November 5th we will be holding our 3rd annual REVERSE TRICK OR TREAT!
For every pound of packaged Halloween candy you child brings to the office, we will donate $1.00 to the "THOUSANDS SMILES FOUNDATION"
The "Thousand Smiles Foundation" is a non-profit organization focused on care of the less fortunate children in Mexico who suffer from lack of dental care and from maxillofacial deformities such as cleft palate.
*For your childs generousity they will recieve a gift bag*

It's that time of year again!!
A split lip will heal but broken teeth will not. If your child participates in any kind of physical sport there is a risk of dental damage. The dental treatment required to repair damaged or missing teeth is both time consuming and expensive.
Play it safe with "PLAYSAFE MOUTHGUARDS"
"PLAYSAFE MOUTHGUARDS" are custome make to be an exact fit. They come in a huge range of designs and colors for your child to choose from.
Call the office today for an appointment to have your childs mouthguard made.

Years ago the only method we had to identify our children were fingerprints. Welcome to the year 2009 where Toothprints is now being offered as yet another accurate way to prove your child's identity if ever needed.
Toothprints was developed by a pediatric dentist who began using dental bit impressions as a way of safeguarding his own children, and other young patients. The thermoplastic wafer records the size and shape of a child's teeth, the tooth position within the arch, and the relationship between upper and lower jaws.
Like fingerprints, dental imprints are unique to every person, so bite impressions serve an accurate method of identification, not even identical twins have the same bit characteristics. A toothprint impression also captures saliva, which is a powerful source of human scent, thus making the wafer effective for scent-dog tracking. The saliva also provides a DNA sample.
The dentist will soften the patented thermoplastic wafer in a water bath, and instruct your child to "open big like a lion then bite down while I count to 10." It's that. Parents keep the Toothprints disc at home in a reclosable bag(provided), for confidentiality and quick access.
As a community service we are offering this to your family free of charge. Just call or stop by..it takes just seconds and you will take your childs toothprints home with you. We do not keep a copy at our office. It is strictly for your safekeeping.
If you have any questions, please call us @ 201-768-5697 and speak to Tara.

We look forward to seeing you soon
Sincerely,
Matthew L Galfund D.D.S.
