April was Oral Cancer Awareness Month

/in /by

“An oral cancer screening is a quick and painless part of your ordinary dental examination,” says Dr. John Reckner, F.A.G.D. “Although we perform cancer screenings all year long, in April we support OralCancerCause.org, a national foundation that helps patients and their families undergoing treatment for oral cancer.” In April our team wore purple ribbons, and educated our patients about the importance of early detection. Learn more about the benefits and how easy it is to have an oral cancer screening.

Bubble Gum Challenge!

This year we participated in the Bubble Gum Challenge! Many oral cancer patients are not able to chew gum … or blow a bubble. We blew bubbles for those who cannot.

We made a donation to Oral Cancer Cause’ Bubble Gum Challenge and encourage our community to support their mission. All donations to this nonprofit are tax deductible and go to helping patients and their families during treatment and to educating the public about the importance of oral cancer exams.

Our First Dental Mission to Nicaragua, February 2017

/in /by

“Weaver, Reckner and Reinhart Dental Associates has always reached out in our local communities to take care of the dental needs of individuals and families who need dental care and access to dental care. In February we will expand our services to another community in need, a community beyond our borders and a community that receives very little dental care,” says Dr. Todd Weaver. “We will spend an entire week treating patients in Nicaragua with the Hearts, Hands & Smiles Foundation, an organization founded by Robert Ayers of Telford Pennsylvania. We hope to give support to a number of local dentists while in Nicaragua and with our own supplies and equipment treat as many patients as we are able. We will travel with a team of nine volunteers and will look to the possibility of many future trips of service to the Nicaraguan people.”

Dr. Todd Weaver and Dr.John Reckner will be leading the trip to Nicaragua with volunteers from our dental team. Follow our Nicaragua Dental Mission on our facebook page and on social media #wrrSmiling #wrrDentalMission.

To raise the necessary funds we partnered with the Gran Pacifica Beach and Golf Resort in Nicaragua which generously donated two vouchers as a way to help us raise money and to give back to their surrounding communities. Each voucher is good for a complimentary 1-week stay in a beachfront condo at Gran Pacifica, and includes 2 rounds of golf and unlimited horseback riding on the beach. On January 20th we choose two winners during our live video stream on facebook. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our dental mission!
