Solstice Making its Mark in Tampa

February 22, 2013 - Plantation, Fl

Friday, Feb. 8– Solstice team members Maria Braccia and Sherri Irwin attended the Dentistry from the Heart event in Tampa, where over 300 underprivileged individuals received complimentary basic dental treatments.

Open to the city’s general public, there were three general dentists, a periodontist and well over 35 volunteers on-site throughout the day. Treatments available to the crowd included free hygiene procedures, extractions and fillings.  Dentistry from the Heart founder, Dr. Vincent Monticciolo, worked on 324 patients. This event marked Dr. Monticciolo’s 11th year serving the community.

Solstice understands the importance of providing the community with dental hygiene services and saw an opportunity to do so by joining forces with Dentistry from the Heart. Irwin, who organized Solstice sponsorship of the event, also assisted at the front desk, inputting patient information into the association’s computer database. “The outreach ran like a well oiled machine!” said Irwin as she reflected on the day’s events. “I’m so proud to be here with my co-worker representing the Solstice team at this great cause. We’ve gotten great feedback, met some wonderful people, and made a difference in the community today – I feel pretty accomplished!”

Later, the crowd was served lunch from another sponsoring company, the Smile Faith Foundation. After over 10 hours of seeing and treating patients, Dentistry from the Heart concluded the evening by thanking all the volunteers and sponsors for a job well done. The team was thrilled by the overwhelming amount of people that came out to receive dental services that morning. Many don’t realize that poor oral hygiene can lead to other serious illnesses, such as heart disease. Oral hygiene serves as a direct correlation between oral and total body health – and Solstice made it a point to make it known.
