Chew, Chew: Arlington Heights Dentist Office Unveils Train

In celebration of the 125th anniversary of the village of Arlington Heights, local schools, orginization businesses and government entities' design their own fiberglass train to promote their cause and show solidarity with the village.

All About Kids Dentistry and Nakfoor Orthodontics teamed up to showcase a train with bright smiles and colors. 

"We wanted a train that was a play on all things dental and show that taking care of teeth is fun and a enjoyable thing to do," Kara Nakfoor, marketing director for Nakfoor Orthodontics said. 

Ellen Sharpe, owner and director of the Monart Drawing Studio and Jeane Heckert, owner of VisionMaker Graphics designed the train, which has kids brushing their teeth, eating fruit and smiling on both sides of the train. The front of the train has braces with smiling pearly white teeth. On the back left side of the train shows a smiling Dr. Bryan Nakfoor and on the back right side, there's a smiling Dr. Victoria Ursitti. 

"Fantastic, great to work with," Dr. Ursitti said of working with Sharpe and Heckert. "It shows all the right messages," she said. 

Dr. Nakfoor said the train is "better than any I could have expected."

The train will be moved to Harmony Park, Vail Avenue and Campbell Street in downtown, today for the rest of the community to see.
