			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a recent office visit, one of our longest standing patients had this to say about their experience with our practice:</p>
<p>I have been a patient of Dr. Ravin since he began his practice here and have been completely satisfied with his excellent care. He and his staff are committed to serving their patients with the highest quality of care, coupled with a warm, supportive environment, tailored to the needs of the individual patient. I always feel comfortable in the office and am extremely satisfied with my care. I have had a variety of dental problems and feel very fortunate to be a patient of this dental group. Thank you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month, Dr. Ravin and staff made a trip to North Peru to provide volunteer services to children and adults who otherwise do not have access to professional dental treatments. The staff set up within the mountains, not far from Lima, and were even faced with two small earthquakes during their stay.  The trip was a great success as HDG provided the skills and supplies to perform a wide range of treatments.</p>

<p>This was my first visit to the Hospital Dental Group and all staff I encountered made me feel comfortable. Jodi and Dr. Cabral were both wonderful and honest with me regarding my teeth.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every February, the American Dental Association celebrates National Children&#8217;s Dental Health Month, a month-long campaign to promote awareness of proper oral health practices targeted to young patients. Establishing healthy habits at an early age is an essential part of developing strong healthy teeth that will last a lifetime. This year, the campaign encourages young patients to &#8220;Rock Your Smile&#8221;, and combines oral care with the fun of playing in a band or listening to music to provide a fun and informative way of teaching healthy dental care.</p>
<p>At Hospital Dental Group, we proudly support the ADA&#8217;s campaign on a daily basis by offering motivational and educational care personalized for each child&#8217;s individual dental needs. We help parents and children work together to develop a routine at home and a long-lasting relationship with your dentist. It is recommended that children see a dentist before their first birthday, and have their first set of x-rays around the age of four years old.</p>
<p>As part of the National Children&#8217;s Dental Health Month initiative, the ADA also sponsors the Give Kids a Smile program, offering free dental care services and education to those children in need of care. To learn more about the program and how you can help encourage your children&#8217;s healthy habits, visit the ADA website or call us to schedule an appointment.</p>
