Wow, we are so close to finishing up this year and we can thankfully say that Simsbury Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry is finishing the year out strong!
We have some exciting news! We are working on setting up online bill pay to make it easier for patients to pay their bills. This will have the added benefit of saving on postage and phone calls. Stay tuned! Also, please be sure to confirm all appointments. When that reminder comes 5 and/or 2 days prior, just type C or click the link to confirm and save us a phone call!
In addition to looking forward to our new services, we also want to take a moment to highlight the current services we offer. Since we are a pediatric office, our focus is hygiene! Our hygienists do a wonderful job with their little patients, educating them (and their parents) on good oral health, proper brushing, and flossing techniques. When additional care is needed, Dr. Azadpur and her assistants do extractions, fillings, sealants, and more, including emergency care. When more work is required than can be done in the office, she can see them in the OR at a local hospital. Sealants are a great way to prevent cavities on permanent molars, so once they come in, be sure to schedule sealants for your child.
We have had a great year this year and have accomplished so many things. In May, we launched our new patient management software system. It is so much easier to use and very comprehensive! It comes with a brand-new Patient Portal. The Portal link is on the home page of our new website, also launched this spring. However, we do want to note that the link from the previous one is no longer valid. If you need a new link, please give us a call or check the 14-day appointment reminder email/text you will receive before all appointments.
We also celebrated our 20th anniversary in October. We had a booth at Septemberfeast and gave out lots of fun giveaways. One lucky family will win an iPad once they bring their child in for their first visit.
Speaking of giveaways, our quarterly drawing for $500 to Ski Sundown ends December 31. Write a review of our office and/or refer a friend for entries. Check out our socials for more information on the drawing! We will be announcing a new one in the new year so stay tuned for it.
We want to hear what everyone is doing for their holiday. During the month of December, we like to close early on a Friday so that the team can enjoy a holiday party, usually at a local restaurant. We exchange gifts (secret Santa style) and spend some time just hanging out with each other catching up on things outside of the office. This year, our party will be on December 10 and we will be closing at noon that day.
Of course, as many of you know, holidays come with lots of extra treats and sweets so be sure to step up the brushing after meals. Chew some xylitol gum to help in between meals too. And please try to keep all appointments. Our schedule is fully committed through the end of the year so any cancellations will be rescheduled in mid-January or beyond!
We are so grateful for all of our patients and especially the over 450 new patients we welcomed in 2021! Please keep referring your friends and family members to our office. When you do, you will be entered into our quarterly drawing for a fabulous prize worth $500. A huge shout out to our entire team. The clinical team does such a fantastic job with their little patients in chairs and our administrative team crushes it with the phone calls, scheduling, and financial matters! Well done, team!
We wish all of our patients, their families, our team, and our families good health and peace in the coming year. With everyone's help and commitment to safety, we will hopefully be looking at COVID in the rearview mirror soon. Best wishes for a joyful holiday season.
