Dr. Dodds' Mission Trip to Haiti
Dr. Dodds
This coming  February, Dr. Dodds is participating in a medical mission to Haiti with the group Haiti Arise. He will be  the only dentist on the team, accompanied by a doctor, pharmacist, and several RN's. They expect to treat around 800 patients in 10 days.
 If you would like to make a donation to help purchase medical and dental supplies, you can drop it off here at the office, or send it to: 
Regina Apostolic Church
808 Assiniboine Ave E.
Regina, Sk. S4V 0K6 
(note: Haiti Medical Mission  Supplies on cheque).  
Donations are eligible for a charitable receipt. 
 
We will also be collecting soap (please not Ivory, as it melts in the heat. Dial is best.) and reading glasses (low end, 1.25-2.5). We hope a dental company will donate some toothbrushes too!  Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, with one in ten children still working as slaves. This group has been going for the past 6 years so the clinic is established but does not have adequate staffing year round.  See their website at:
We will keep you updated on the mission in our next newsletter!
 
Clearing the Air

Perhaps it's a sign of  aging, but we are noticing a significant issue with scent-sensitivity in the office.  Many of our staff and patients have developed allergies to strong scents, so we ask that you refrain from wearing perfumes or other scented products when visiting our office. Thank-you!!
We Want Your Feedback!
friends
A new year is fast approaching, and as we discuss our goals for 2014 we thought we should ask you, our valued patients, for your thoughts on ways we can improve our services for you.  We are looking for feedback on all areas of our practice:
  • performance of doctors and staff (friendliness, ability to explain dental procedures clearly, educating you on the importance of dental hygiene, making you feel at ease, etc.)
  • payment and insurance procedures (are they clear, understandable)
  • office appeal (cleanliness, etc.)
  • timeliness (do your appointments usually start on time or within 10 minutes of scheduled time?)
Your input is essential in helping us continue to reach and educate people about the importance of oral hygiene.

To reach us, please send us an email at 
downtowndentalcentre@myaccess.ca 

or visit our website, 
www.downtowndentalcentre.com and go to the 'People are Talking' page to submit your comments
