Our Sixth Annual Food Drive - Join us and help feed our community!



Advance Dental's SIXTH Annual Food Drive
Monday October 14th through Saturday December 14th
 

 
We would like to take this time to give thanks for what we have and consider what we can share with our community.
For the past five years, our office has partnered with the Food Bank of Northern Indiana. If you’ve participated in previous years, you know that we've had FIVE wonderful years of donations, both through food and monetary gifts, from our patients and staff.

We challenge ALL our patients to participate this year and help feed our community members who are in need.

Here is what we've been able to donate together over the years and our goal for 2019.

·  2014: 146 pounds of food donated
·  2015: 233 pounds of food donated
·  2016: 409 pounds of food donated (including monetary donations)
·  2017: 556 pounds of food donated (including monetary donations)
·  2018: 1200 pounds of food donated (including monetary donations) *We doubled our goal in 2018*
·  2019: 750 pounds is our goal this year!

This is how it works...
There will be a barrel inside our door for donations. You are welcome to drop by during office hours with or without an appointment scheduled. So just swing by the office, say hello to our friendly office staff, and drop your non perishable food item in the bin.

Fun Fact...
If you don't have an item on hand or dislike grocery shopping - for every $1 you donate, the food bank is able to purchase approximately THREE POUNDS of food! There will be donation slips available at the front office. 

All donations will be delivered to the food bank before Christmas.
Visit this website for a detailed list of acceptable items to donate.

How Root Canal Treatment Can Save Your Smile

Here at Advance Dental in Granger, IN, creating healthy smiles is our specialty. If your tooth develops an infection or is facing damage from decay, you should visit your dentist, Dr. Ronald F. Stangebye, DDS, immediately to discuss options for saving it. After all, a simple root canal could end up being the key to keeping your smile intact! What Is a Root Canal? Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from inside the dental pulp, prevent reinfection, and save your overall tooth structure. During the procedure, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected using miniature tools before being filled and sealed with a safe, putty-like material to protect the health of your smile. Root canal treatment is a comfortable and painless method that will benefit your oral health in the long run.

SIX REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD USE YOUR DENTAL BENEFITS

Image
SIX REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD USE YOUR DENTAL BENEFITS We've all heard the saying "use it or lose it," well that is especially true when it comes to dental benefits. We want to assist you in maximizing your dental insurance benefits and essentially save you money.   1. Yearly Maximum   This is the limit on how much your dental insurance plan will pay within one full year. Most are capped at $1000 to $1500 and usually renew on January 1st. If you have unused benefits, these will not roll over to the next year, they will be lost. 2. Deductible   This a set amount of money you must pay before your insurance company will pay towards any treatment. If you've received dental treatment this year, you've probably met or made some progress towards your deductible. Completing treatment this year will help you avoid paying your deductible twice.    3. Premiums   This one is simple, if you are paying for your dental insurance premiums every month, you should
