We all want a great, healthy smile. Who doesn't? We know we need to brush our teeth, use mouthwash to kill bacteria, and most of us floss regularly. That should be enough to keep our mouths healthy, right? Wrong. Have you ever been brushing your teeth, or flossing and seen blood in your sink? Like most people, you probably wrote it off as a simple irritation or thought you were brushing or flossing too roughly. While these explanations could be true, they are often rarely the cause of bleeding gums. According to Dr. Barry Dubin and his team of dental professionals at Dentistry For Life, bleeding gums can be a sign of a gum infection, the onset of gum disease, or other serious medical conditions.

Dr. Barry Dubin's Dentistry For Life held 3 parties in July. The first was for other businesses in their building - Medical Arts at 1601 Walnut in Philadelphia. You can see lots of pictures of the great time had by all and the fabulous food served up by Dr. Dubin's wife Dianne and their staff on our Facebook page. Everything was delicious and oh...those chocolate covered strawberries! The next party was a Southern Buffet Dinner for all of our wonderful patients who have referred other wonderful patients like themselves to our practice. We wanted to do something special for them because their referrals are the greatest compliment we can receive. Dr. Dubin appreciates this more than anything.

Dr. Barry Dubin's Dentistry For Life recently began giving patients the opportunity to complete a short survey about their visit and our practice once they get home. The survey, which takes just a minute to complete, is returned to us via email through a third party source so it is totally anonymous. Patients can be completely honest without worrying that Dr. Dubin will ever know who said what. For any service business, that's something of a risk to take. After all, we can't always know every interaction every patient has with all of our staff. And lets face it, some people just love to complain no matter what you do. We are thrilled to report that Dr. Dubin, Dentistry For Life, our hygienists, and staff have gotten glowing reviews. In fact, 71% have rated us 5 stars and their visit "EXCELLENT"! Another 19% gave us "VERY GOOD" and only 8% rated us as "AVERAGE". Not a single person rated their visit as anything less than average...NO COM

Dentistry For Life is looking to add a new team member. We know our patients deserve the very best so our goal is to give them that everyday. We must be doing a good job because we're getting more and more new patients flocking to our door. In fact, so many that we need to dedicate a front desk staff member, Michelle Hernandez, just to taking care of their needs and the many phone calls we receive. That means we need to add another enthusiastic people person to our fabulous staff to take care of our equally fabulous patients as they make their way through the practice. This new position will be dedicated to seeing that nothing slips through the cracks and that every patient has a WOW experience from start to finish. S/he will be in charge of all patient information, both electronic and paper charts, making sure that everything is always up-to-date and filed. S/he will welcome and seat each patient as they come in, making sure all is

If you were covered at any time from March 15, 19914 through November 18, 2009 by medical or dental insurance with United HealthCare Corporation (now known as UnitedHealth Group), Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, American Airlines, Inc. and their subsidiaries and affiliates, you may have been contacted with a Notice of Proposed Settlement of Class Action and final Settlement Hearing. These insurance companies were accused by a host of organizations including the American Medical Association and the Civil Service Employees Association of providing insufficient reimbursement by using flawed databases to determine reimbursement amounts and by using internal policies to reduce reimbursement and of inadequately disclosing these methods. JFK Dental Care has been notified that the involved companies have proposed a settlement rather than have the case go further in the court system. The courts must approve their proposal which includes a cash set

We had lots of great referrals from equally great patients, but only one could win. JFK Dental Care patient Mia was the final winner. She received a shiny new purple iPod Nano in appreciation of sending patients to Dr. Barry Dubin and Dr. Shimma. If you are currently a patient at JFK Dental Care, you could win something too. Just look for our next patient referral contest. And even when there's no contest going on, JFK Dental Care always has a great referral program. It's a tiered program where you get a small gift and small account credit on your first referral - a larger one for the next - and so on, right on up to 10 patients referred gets you a free Power Whitening. Thats a $1200 value, just for telling other people just like you where they

Did you know that Invisalign offers very fast and simple movement for your front teeth in as little time as 6 months? Here at JFK Dental Care, Dr. Barry Dubin and Dr. Shimma Abdulla can create a beautiful smile in no time even if you have some gaps or crooked front teeth. Invisalign recognized that many patients don't want to expend the time and expense of full blown orthodontics to move all of your teeth so that you have a perfect bite. Your teeth would then fit together like a set of gears. This is the ideal, but many adults have gotten used to their slightly off bite and it doesn't affect function much. We get the question, "Can't you just make my smile look good?" And the answer is "of course." The cost is very reasonable at around $3500 - much less than the fee for a full Invisalign case or braces

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Dr. Barry Dubin and Dianne's beloved little poodle, Teddy on January 7. For 15 years, Teddy was a fixture in the JFK Dental Care offices. It was only in the last 3 years, (yes, folks, he was 18) that he had gotten too old to greet Dr. Dubin's patients. Many of our patients knew and loved Teddy. They brought him toys and treats and gave him lots of attention. Dr. Dubin and Dianne report that he was the best dog ever and was truly Dianne's shadow. He will be greatly missed. Even in death, Teddy is helping our patients. He died of ORAL CANCER! So we hope this will be a reminder to all of our patients of the importance of having yearly check-ups at JFK Dental Care for this deadly disease. We have a simple test called Vizilite
