SMILE
By: Kalliope Constantaras
I held on to my frown, 'cause I was always down.
I curled my lips tight, like the upside down shape of the letter U
And no smile , just made me blue.
Oh! how I wanted to smile, when I greeted people-
Hello, with the other children at school
Or when I went to the swimming pool.
But, my teeth were crooked, jagged, protruding like Mount Rushmore.
So something had to get done, For this life was no fun.
My mum took me to Dr. Smile.
Wow, I thought -- One look at him, his smile beamed
His nurse smiled too! He worked on my teeth
like an action hero
A transformer of teeth! Who transformed me too.
Now, I smile with all my friends in school-
-too many to count! I smile for birthday pictures
And family gatherings. Ssh!
My teacher looked up, when she saw the
red-red cortland apple on her desk,
I gave the widest smile, And…She knew, She knew,
--It was me!

Dr. Dean Vafiadis and Jurim Dental Lab Recieve Raving Reviews at the 34th Annual Yankee Dental Congress
On January 30th 2009, Dr. Dean lectured at the 34th Annual Yankee Dental Congress in Boston, MA.
"I wanted to tell you that your seminar, "Ideal Provisionals for Crowns and Veneers" presented at the Yankee Dental Conference this past weekend 1/30/2009, was extremely informative. The aspects you covered in case planning and presentation, preparation, completion and cementation were presented in a concise and systematic manner. Using the models you provided helped to visualize the criteria presented and reinforce the principles that were discussed. Having seen your slides and then
actually doing the hands on part of the workshop was what set this class apart from the many others that I have taken on porcelain veneers. This is the first time that anyone stressed the importance of completed provisional's to the ultimate success of the completed restorations. I think that anyone taking your course, no matter what their level of expertise, will take away something that they can use immediately in their practice."

Incoming!
Whew! I think that about does it for this week's donations.
Keep 'em coming, there is always room for more. The box you see being professionally delivered is a gift from the New York Smile Institute on East 5oth Street in Manhattan. It is filled with swag for our goodie bags from Dr. Dean Vafiadis.
Dr. Dean is a super positive, super high energy guy who doesn't just talk the healthy lifestyle talk, he walks it. For that matter, he runs it, bikes it , and swims it too. Trust me, I have unceremoniously eaten Dr. Dean's dust on several occasions.
Remember that Brady Bunch epsiode when Marcia goes gaga over that "dreamboat dentist"? Well, Dr. Dean is ours. Not only is he a father of three and a supporter of the athletic and civic community, he is also a supporter of our school, donating generously to our Auction, no questions asked. His wonderful office staff of Sandy, Lisa, and Amy went above and beyond the call of duty to help accomodate our needs. Dr. Dean also hopes to come and visit our school with a presentation on dental hygeine for our younger grades.
Thanks so much, Dr. Dean! Just one more thing, OK? If I come up against a real stubborn merchant, can I count on you to come help me, umm, extract the donation? Just kidding!
