The efforts also aims to help those who have lost jobs

STRATFORD - Dentists Dr. Mark Samuels and Dr. Joseph Jarmon of Lighthouse Dental Care are offering a significant discount on dental services to assist people who need dental care in tandem with raising money to benefit under-privileged children in their community this holiday season.

Drs. Samuels and Jarmon are looking to assist the people in their community who have lost their dental coverage due to job loss by offering dental services at a fraction of their normal rate. For $49, first time patients will receive oral examinations, x-rays and dental cleanings, with all proceeds going to Sterling House in Stratford.

Drs. Samuels and Jarmon are also collecting un-wrapped toy donations which can be dropped off at their office, Lighthouse Dental Care, located at 88 Ryders Lane, Stratford, CT 06614.

Toy Drop-Off Dates are from Dec. 01, 2011 to Dec. 14, 2011, during office hours.

"We want to do our part to ensure that Americans stay healthy and to help make a difference in a child's life this holiday season," explains Dr. Samuels.

Dr. Jarmon elaborates further by saying $49 will improve a person's dental health and help 10 children receive toys this Christmas.  

The toy drive and dental discount special will stay in effect until December 14, 2011.

"In a troubled economy that affects many Americans, the spirit of giving to others is needed more than ever," Dr. Samuels concludes.
