Happy Holidays Everyone!

We have much to be grateful for in 2007, Black's Bridge is finally re-opend. The closing didn't affect our practice much but we understand it was an inconvenience for everyone and our thanks to those who dealt with the detour. The vehicle traffic has really picked up! A thank you goes out to Crafton Borough.

Our staff has grown again this year with the addition of another hygienist, Rachel Magnuson a graduate from West Liberty State College, and along with the rest of the staff Rachel has been trained in the Soft Tissue Management program we had incorporated last year. With the growth of the hygiene department we have found the need to also expand the preventive department and have found the need to add an additional dental assistant, Sara Allen. Genevieve is back after a short absence and the rest of the staff Joni, Nicole, and Gale as well as I are glad to have her back.

Continuing education is an important part of our practice and this year we have attended many seminars on such subjects as Soft Tissue Management, Vizilite oral cancer screening, Esthetic dentistry, and Periodontal Therapy. We are continuing to add new technologies while maintaing our emphasis on periodontal health and preventive care.

On be half of myself ant the staff I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season.

Dr. C.H. Sakai
