DENTAL NEWS: Perhaps it's a sign of the economic times, but one California dentist is so concerned over the lack of dental care many senior citizens are receiving that he's putting his money where their mouth is... literally.
Dr. Doug Reams, a dentist in Lucerne, California, is offering a 10-percent senior discount to all seniors in September and October. “We all need to do what we can in today’s economic downturn. Lucerne, being a small community, I want to give something back,” explained Reams.
Dr. Reams has practiced dentistry in Lucerne for 32 years and recently has become quite concerned over the lack of proper dental care many seniors in his area receiving. "It is sad to see seniors unable to keep up with their dental needs because they live on a fixed income," Reams said. "Proper dental hygiene can aid in the prevention of many medical illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s disease, heart problems, joint pain, stroke and a lot more."
To find out more about Dr. Reams senior discount plan, call his office at 707-274-6605 or check with the Lake County California senior center for information.
DENTAL VIEWS: If any of my readers know of a dentist offering similar type discounts for seniors (or anybody for that matter), please let me know so I can highlight their practices as well. Good deeds should not go unpublicized.
