Lund Dental Gives Back!

Lund Dental Gives Back!

Giving back to the community is important to our team at Lund Dental Associates.  Throughout the year, we set community service goals and coordinate activities with local Stoneham businesses and schools.  We often involve our patients too.  Our patients are enthusiastic to help us reach our donation goals and provide us with overwhelming support.

In the Stoneham school system, Lund Dental has donated custom athletic mouthguards to various sports teams.  We have had the athletes from the Stoneham High School Football team and Girls Lacrosse Team come into our office to be fit for professional mouthguards. Most recently, our office attended the Stoneham Chamber of Commerce’s Health Fair Expo and gave away coupons for free athletic mouthguards to any Stoneham athlete of any age. 

We work closely with the Stoneham Food Bank, gathering food and supplies for families in Stoneham.  During the summer, Lund Dental and our patients collect household supplies ranging from paper towels to baby products to personal hygiene.  Our fall collection consists of can goods and non-perishables, while during the winter we collect toys for the holiday season.  Our team is more than appreciative to the staff at the Stoneham Food Bank for their constant dedication to help those in need and allowing our team to help them in their efforts.

The Traveling Dentist

During the spring months, Lund Dental’s Dr. Cara Lund and dental assistants Jeanne and Mary travel to various school to teach children about properly caring for their teeth.  They also bring along Phil (yes, a pun on “filling”), a dental forward puppet with a full functioning set of pearly whites. 

Not only do we show the kids how to properly brush and floss with the help of Phil, we like to talk about keeping a healthy mouth with a healthy diet.  Discussing sugar content, especially sugar in drinks is a big eye opener for the kids.  We bring along our “sugar bags” to show them how much sugar they are drinking in soda, sports drinks, and even juice.

Kids seems to have many questions about cavities and we discuss what it means to get a cavity and how we clean and fill them.   We also show them x-rays and explain how these are used to look for cavities.

This interactive dental show allows kids to showcase their dental knowledge as well.  Kids are asked what types of food and drinks keep their mouth healthy and things they should avoid.  Kids are more astute than you think!  We always get a plethora of answers from soda to “my mom’s homemade extra chocolate cake.”
