As the leaves turn vibrant shades of gold and the scent of pumpkin spice lingers in the air, we find ourselves on the cusp of that magical time of year—the season of gratitude, joy, and giving. At Creating Smiles Dental, we embrace the spirit of community, compassion, and coming together to make a meaningful impact. As we prepare to celebrate this festive season, we are excited to share not only important updates but also incredible opportunities to give back and express our heartfelt thanks to the wonderful community that surrounds us.
Holiday Hours
Before we dive into the giving spirit, here’s a quick heads-up about our holiday hours. On Wednesday, 11/22, we’ll be closing at noon, and on Thanksgiving Day (11/23) and the day after (11/24), our offices will be closed. We appreciate your understanding as we take this time to celebrate with our loved ones.
Toys for Tots
Let’s kick off the season of giving by spreading the holiday spirit through Toys for Tots! We’re proud to be a drop-off site at both our offices. The last day to donate is Monday, 12/18, so let’s come together and make this season brighter for children in need.
