Dentistry from the Heart

SAVE THE

Dr. Philip L. Hanapole Is Once Again Hosting a Free Day of Dentistry with Dentistry from the Heart.

Belmar,
NJ   April 4, 2014
– Dr. Hanapole is out
to change lives on Friday, April 4, 2014 as he hosts his fifth annual event for
Dentistry From The Heart (DFTH). 

You are invited to join Dr. Hanapole and Dr.
Thomas Sniscak, their team of  about 7 other
local dentists, and dozens of volunteers, to provide fillings, extractions and
hygiene appointments to those in need. 
This year they are hoping to be able to help about 100 patients. 
When asked how he felt about the 2014 event, Dr.
Hanapole said:  “Back in December when I
sold my practice to Dr. Sniscak, the practice is now called SMILES BY THE SEA,
it was agreed that other than the name, little would change.  I’m still working here, the entire staff
remains and continuing to participate in Dentistry From The Heart is a very
important part of the legacy.  This is
our fifth year and it has to be the best ever. 

It’s been a tough winter and we are all looking for a breath of fresh

air.  The joy that this event brings will
be just that!”

volunteers will treat as many patients (approximately 100) as they can by 6:00
pm.  Patients will be seen on a first come, first served basis, no appointments are made ahead of time.  The Smiles By The Sea website, www.smilesbythesea.net, will have more details after March 4th, 2014.  You
can also call Beverly Hanapole at the office, 732-681-2225, for more
information.


Dentistry From The Heart
is a national
non-profit organization with a simple mission – making people smile. Founded in
2001 by Dr. Vincent Monticciolo in New Port Richey, Florida, DFTH was created
to aid those in need, including the growing population of under-insured
Americans.  Over 100 million Americans
lack dental insurance and more than 29 percent of adults have untreated
cavities. Without events like DFTH, dental care simply isn’t an option for many
of the uninsured.  In 2012 more than 200
communities throughout North America were provided with free smiles.  In the past 10 years, Dentistry From The
Heart events have contributed over $6 million in free dentistry and helped over
50,000 patients
