Smiles for Life Charity

Dr. Kostrzewksi of Comfortable Care Dentistry was recently featured in an article about the Crown Council’s Smiles for Life charity. Read the article below or follow the link to the Milford Patch.

It’s time again for the Crown Council’s Smiles for Life campaign.  This March through June, your local Crown Council dentist, Comfortble Care Dentistry, is offering teeth whitening services at a significantly reduced price, and will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to help children facing serious health and educational problems in communities throughout North America.

“The teeth whitening procedure is quick and painless, with excellent results,” explains “Dr. K”, a Crown Council dentist located in Milford.  “Most importantly, a few minutes in the chair can help touch a child’s life forever.”

The Smiles for Life Foundation is the children’s charity organization of the Crown Council, an organization of leading-edge dentists throughout North America.  Each year over a four-month period, Crown Council dentists participating in the Smiles for Life campaign offer professional teeth whitening service at a considerably reduced price and donate 100 percent of the proceeds to children’s charities.  The Crown Council’s Smiles for Life Foundation has raised more than $27 million since 1998, benefiting nearly 500 children’s charities across North America. Since joining the campaign in 1998 Comfortable Care Dentistry,  has raised nearly $ 200,000.

“Smiles for Life allows a person to help children in need by doing something that benefits them as well,” explains Greg Anderson, director of the Crown Council.  “Dr. K and the Comfortable Care Team, donate their time and expertise, while Discus Dental provides all supplies.  You receive a brighter smile, and, best of all, provide children with a brighter future.”

Half of the donations are earmarked for a local children’s charity partner, and the balance goes to the Smiles For Life Foundation to be distributed to worthy and approved children’s charities across the U.S. and Canada. Participating charities includes Children’s Miracle Network, Children of Romania, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, CURE (in Cambodia), Smiles For Hope, and the Kids Cancer Care Foundation.

Gift certificates for teeth whitening services are also available at Comfortable Care Dentistry. These certificates are a perfect gift idea for loved ones for Valentines Day, wedding showers, birthdays and other special occasions—AND, they help needy kids at the same time.

Custom Sports Mouth Guards in Milford, CT

Sports Guard

Custom Mouth Guard

If you are an athlete you probably know how easy it is to sustain an injury on the field or the ice. In fact, many sports injuries that occur each year take place in the mouth. The American Dental Association puts annual sports-related oral injuries in the 200,000 range. The truth is that many of these injuries could have been prevented with the use of a custom-made sports mouth guard. The misconception that mouthguards are uncomfortable, bulky, and impede breathing or speech has been debunked. While the disadvantages of sports mouth guards may hold true for stock mouth guards, customized guards like the ones we make at our Milford office are comfortable, effective, and allow athletes in every sport to breathe easy.

Sports mouth guards are designed to cushion the force of a blow to the jaw and oral region by dissipating the energy of a hit or fall. This cushioning effect greatly decreases the incidence of oral injury such as tooth loss or damage. Additionally, they have been shown to decrease the incidence of concussions because the lower jaw is not forced back into the base of the skull. They protect the teeth and the soft tissues of the mouth by preventing the jaws from being brought together forcefully. Other benefits of sports mouth guards include preventing the onset of ongoing dental problems that generate dental costs in the thousands.

Don’t be one of the 40% of athletes who sustain a dental injury this year. Get a custom-made sports mouth guard that protects your teeth from damage while helping you to prevent harmful and season-ending concussions. These mouth guards are superior in every way to the stock or boil mouthguards that you see at sporting goods stores. Sports mouth guards customized by Dr. Kostrzewski are fabricated over a dental model using vacuum formed thermoplastic material and are recommended by The Academy for Sports Dentistry.
