During National Orthodontic Health Month in October and Children’s National Dental Health Month in February, Dr. Loftus visits local elementary schools and gives a dental health presentation to second or third graders. The program includes what happens at the dentist, foods you should eat and what might happen at their first orthodontic appointment. Folders are given to each student containing information on the American Associations of Orthodontist’s recommendations for a child’s first visit to the orthodontist as well as coloring and educational pages for the students. Each student also receives a dental health kit.

Our spring community project for this year was to collect donations by selling die cut daffodils to hang in the office. We collected $178 to donate to the American Cancer Society. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this cause. For Daffodil Day Easton Orthodontic Associates gave daffodils to all patients that came in during Daffodil Days, March 19 – 25.
Fall Community Project 2006 Update

This year’s fall community project at the office was knitting or crocheting lap blankets for Praxis, an Alzheimer’s Facility, in Easton. All total, we were able to present Kevin at Praxis with 10 blankets. We want to thank all patients who contributed either by donation of yarn or making squares for us. Several staff members then put the squares together to make the blankets.
We would like to congratulate Miss Rebecca Morris for her book Going to the
Orthodontist. A copy is in the waiting room for everyone to enjoy.
Rebecca Morris is 8 years old and in 2nd grade at Holy Family School.
Rebecca wrote her first book, Zoo Farm, for the Nazareth Library Young
Authors Contest when she was in kindergarten. She chose the topic for her
second book, Going to the Orthodontist, as a way to share with others her
excitement about one day getting braces. She is currently working on her
first chapter book, My Amazing Family. Along with writing, Rebecca also
enjoys reading, gymnastics, and playing piano. She lives in Forks Township
with her parents, younger sister, and two little brothers.
2006 Community Service Project: Lap Robes This years project is a little different. We are asking people to make 7" x 9" knitted or crocheted squares with leftover yarn. We will then sew the squares together for small lap robes to be used by local shelters and nursing home facilities. Some of the organizations interested are: Easton Nursing Home, The Phoebe Home, Praxis, Manor Care, New Eastwood Center, and Safe Harbour.
Instructions will be available in the office. We will also have some needles and yarn here so you can work on them while you are in our reception area.
2005 Community Service Project: Cookbook A very big THANK YOU to all who contributed to our Community Service Project by donating recipes and/or purchasing our cookbook. In all we were able to donate $925.00 to the Third Street Alliance.
