For Immediate Release
NATIONAL BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, 2010
Local Dentist is Smiling For The Cause
DALLAS – September 9, 2010 – A focus of Whitmore Dental is to bring breast
cancer awareness to the community through the positive power of smiles. The
Smile For The Cause message is to promote positive attitudes through smiles
which are directly attributed to physical wellbeing. Whitmore Dental is proud
to partner with Smile Pink in promoting proactive testing and
research which aids in early detection and prevention of breast cancer. Whitmore
Dental and Smile Pink are giving 100% of their donations to The Breast Cancer
Research Foundation®. "Smile Pink is a fresh
and innovative campaign that will help spread awareness about the importance of
funding lifesaving breast cancer research, while giving patients the
opportunity to brighten their smiles,” said Lucretia Gilbert, Director of
Development at The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.
The facts
are sobering. One in eight women
will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. One women every 2
½ minutes will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Over 200,000 American women
will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 40,000 of them will die from
the disease. Breast cancer also occurs in men. In fact, over one thousand
men will be diagnosed this year.
Smile Pinks signature Pink Swarovski Crystal is
applied to the tooth with a temporary dental adhesive. It is safe, and takes
less than a minute for a dentist to apply. The Pink Swarovski Crystal Smile
that is part of the Smile Pink breast cancer awareness campaign will be visible
in all willing to SHOW support to remind men and women to raise awareness about
breast cancer.
Whitmore Dental is an unremitting supporter and advocate for
breast cancer awareness and research. This Dedication of Whitmore Dental
shows the commitment and support to Smile Pink and the families who have
endured the hardships of breast cancer and to offer hope, strength, and
encouragement to the many women, men and their families who are affected by
breast cancer every day.
