Wow, the bigger they get, the faster they go. That’s true for both years and children! It’s a bit of a tradition now, but some parents like an annual check-up at Big Grins, your Pediatric Dentist Fort Collins, and we hope you do too.

To begin with, my staff and I are very grateful for your continued support this past year. Looking back, we have been pleasantly surprised to see that we had a lot more new patient households begin with us this year than ever before. We owe that to you for sending your neighbors and associates our way. In turn, that permits us to do less advertising and more work with schools, teams and many groups. Watch out next winter break for our second annual (better publicized) Lego competition!

We added a couple of new procedures this year. We are supplying minimal sedation (oral medication) a lot more regularly now. We also now offer something called ICON, a resin that flows into front teeth white spots damaged by poor hygiene throughout wearing braces. I wrote a weblog on that a couple of months ago. I also wrote one recently on tips on how to choose an orthodontist, or Pediatric Dentist Fort Collins; with 14 in town it’s getting crazy. If you like that kind of dental commentary, it’s at: pediatricdentistryfortcollinsdotcom.

Speaking of internet stuff, we are also on Facebook. I don’t know if this is a entertaining service or maybe a opportunity to procrastinate. I am leaning towards the latter, we’ll see!

Several of you realize we do a bit of charity work. We had a terrific Project Smile fundraiser between Dr. Owen’s office and ours, and now our own Jill Pfankuch is the emergency patient liaison between PSD and Project Smile. Lori Heutzenroeder, our office manager, received a “Woman of Vision” award this year for her work with our North Beach clinic and at-risk children. We are extremely proud of her hard work. Other highlights included things like a grant award, pairing our officewith the rural wellness center of Yuma, CO. We traveled there for three days of dentistry at the 5th St Church in 2011. Now, the rural wellness center will use additional grant dollars to set up a dental space within the local, now vacant hospital. That’s the power of passion along with a few hard working ladies. No gear schlepping!

A good deal of households had difficulties in 2011. We were glad to help where we could, and I hope 2012 brings extra prosperity for everyone. Overall, 2011 was a good deal of fun at Big Grins, your Fort Collins Pediatric Dentist. I hope your children affirmed the same thing. As always, please feel free to call me about your dental questions or issues. Thank you for making this a lot more than a job. It signifies a lot to my staff and I that we have the privilege to take part in helping you raise healthy, happy young children. Enough said!

Yours truly,
Greg
