SHOREWOOD, IL—(Marketwired – March 31, 2016) – Shorewood Family Dental Care, a leading family dental office, recently hosted an event for patients and staff members looking for an escape from the wet and cold winter.
Staff members at Shorewood Family Dental Care held a special skating event at Channahon Skateland on March 20. The dental team invited all of its patients, offering them free admission to the skating rink and free skating.
“We had this party because we were all getting a little stir crazy at the end of this dreary winter, and we wanted an opportunity to get out from our dental chairs and have some fun with our patients,” said Dr. Robert Funk of Shorewood Family Dental Care. “It's a real treat to see our patients having fun with their families outside of the dental office.”
In addition to the free skating, the dental team encouraged participants to donate to the organization Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter. The organization is dedicated to assisting women and their families, often giving aid and resources to women with cancer or serious illnesses.
Dr. Funk said the practice enjoys holding community events every year because the staff gets to interact with patients in a different way.
“These community events are great because patients get to see us in a new light,” Dr. Funk said. “The more comfortable patients are with us, inside or outside the office, the more likely they are to feel at ease in the dental chair and entrust us with their dental treatments.”
Shorewood Family Dental Care offers preventive dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, children's dentistry, laser gum disease treatment, dental implants and IV sedation.
