Community Engagement
At Fairbanks Dental Center we like to have fun! On Halloween we hand out CANDY! YES! CANDY! And toothbrushes of course! Dr. Weis and two of our assistants Rian and Rachel dressed up as their favorite Harry Potter Characters, held a duel with tooth brushes and made sure T-Rex had a new brush to keep his chompers squeaky clean!

March is Dental Hygiene Awareness month and Dr. Weis and our clinical manager Rian spent a few days with the amazing kids and staff at Denali Elementary. They read the BEST book “Tooth Poop" to teach the kids about plaque and then taught them how to floss using egg cartons, play-doh and yarn! Dr. Weis made sure to inspect everyone’s work with his Lupes! We handed out toothbrushes, floss and tooth paste! What fun it was!!!

Halloween 2024 brought a whole Alien Invasion to Fairbanks Dental Center, complete with an astronaut and men in black to keep the aliens in check! We handed out over 350 tooth brushes, tooth paste and floss, along with over 20 pounds of sweet treats. We love to have fun, and we love to support our local community with great little events like this! Be sure to stop by the neighborhood and see what we’re up to next Halloween!

Another great year of with the community at Denali Elementary, teaching about dental anatomy! The students learned about what give teeth the ability to feel hot, cold and temperature, then applied their education to Dental anatomy models made from salt dough! We are always excited to visit the kids, where we learn just as much from them as they do from us!

Fairbanks Dental Center had the wonderful opportunity to participate in helping bring oodles of dental goodies to the community at Summit Church as we participated in the Worlds Biggest Backpack event! This amazing event offers free school supplies and access to many community partners in and around Fairbanks and North Pole. We handed out prizes and temporary tattoos and had so much fun talking with everyone that stopped by!
