DR. Netzley's Views & News Spring Newsletter 2005

I am more excited about the services we offer than ever before in the 27 years I have been in Dentistry. Cosmetic veneers, Express Bleaching, Drill-less Dentistry, Direct antibiotics for Gum Disease, are just a few of the newest advancements in Dentistry. We are high tech with a human touch. Our latest additions to our dental team all come with years of experience in providing quality dental care, so even though you may see fresh, new faces on your next visit you can be assured you are getting the same friendly, professional dental care you have come to expect.

It is not often that you get the chance to help others while helping yourself. We are excited to share the news that the annual Smiles for Life campaign has begun.

Dr. Netzley will offer professional teeth whitening services at a significantly reduced price, and donate 100% of the proceeds to help children facing serious health and educational problems. Dr. Netzley will contribute 50 percent to the Garth Brooks? Teammates for Kids Foundation and 50 percent to the local children?s Hospital and Charity, Fresno?s own Ronald McDonald House.

"The professional tooth whitening procedure is painless and only requires a few minutes in the dental office. Patients can have whiter teeth in just three days?but those minutes that you spend at home and in the office can help touch a child?s life forever" explains Dr. Netzley. "My team and I are ready to professionally whiten people?s teeth for a great cause, and I am inviting all members of my community to make an appointment with me during my Smiles for Life campaign to give themselves - and a child - a reason to smile!"

This year?s campaign kicks off March 1^st. This marks the 5^th year of the Smiles for Life find-raising event. Since the campaign began four years ago, nearly $17,000,000 has distributed to over 300 different Children?s Charities across North America. As a Dental team, we love the opportunity to be able to do something that makes a difference in the lives of so many children. It is important for you to know that without participants, our donation of time and skill would be worthless.

We want to thank all that have helped make last years event a success by purchasing whitening services during our campaign. The results would not be possible without them. It has been great seeing the beautiful smiles of our patients after performing whitening services-but it is even better to see the smiles on the faces of the children our contributions will help support. As this year?s campaign starts we would like to ask you for your help in getting the word out.

• If you are a business owner and your are able to display a Smiles for Life poster or brochures, please contact the office or call and we will get these materials delivered to you.

• Give the gift of a brighter smile! Birthday, Wedding, Graduation, and other Special Occasion Certificates will be available for purchase at our office. Save some time with your shopping and stop by our office or call and we can process your purchase with a credit card and mail you the certificate.

Thanks in advance for your help. Remember, if you have whitened in the past and are in need of whitening refill syringes you will want to purchase them now during this fundraising event. 100% of the cost of refills also goes to the Smiles for Life Foundation. To whiten your smile and brighten the life of a child, contact Dr. Netzley and schedule an appointment today!

Many Happy Smiles,

Dr. Netzleys' Dental Team

People believe that mouthwash can treat or cure bad breath. Unfortunately, most conventional mouthwashes only temporarily mask bad breath and are useless at treating it.

In fact, most conventional mouthwashes can actually contribute to bad breath formation. This is because mouthwashes contain a high percentage of alcohol, which tends to dry out the mouth. Bacteria responsible for creating bad breath grow much better and faster in drier mouths.

However there is a new breed of mouthwash that is very effective in treating bad breath and fighting Gingivitis. These mouthwashes contain Chlorhexidine Gluconate that actually attacks the bacteria found in the mouth on a molecular level. Of course, the best ways to prevent bad breath is to brush & floss daily, and maintain your smile with regular dental cleanings with your hygienist.

Chronic bad breath can be a sign of Gingivitis or Periodontal/Gum Disease. If you have any questions or concerns about bad breath or how you can treat it, please call the office for more information.

Keep Smiling!
