One of my patients is in charge of this fundraiser for injured veterans: the Fallen War Heroes Memorial 5k. As most of my patients know, this a cause that is very near and dear to my heart because of my time in the United States Air Force (USAF). The event was held in Lake Como, NJ and despite inclement weather, the memorial run had almost 900 runners and walkers.
The race raised over $25,000, a fifth of which was gifted to Corporal Scott Nokes from Neptune. Corporal Nokes lost his eyesight and both his legs from a rare illness contracted during his two tours of duty in the Middle East. A home is being built for him in Howell through the Steven Stiller Foundation
The rest of the money raised by the 5k was generously donated to Rebuilding Warriors, a non-profit organization that provides service dogs to veterans.
In attendance were New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and his wife Tammy. After the race, there was a barbecue and a memorial service celebrating all those who lost their lives on 9/11.

The American Academy of Prosthodontists reports 35 million Americans do not have any remaining natural teeth. As an alternative to traditional dentures, many are now turning to All-on-4 in Roselle Park. Dental implants anchor the denture to your jawbone, allowing it to remain in place forever. Although you have heard about their benefits, you still have several questions about the procedure. Here are the answers you need to make the right choice for your smile.
Dental patients across the country can benefit from implant therapy. However, many people lack the availability or the finances needed to receive their implants on a one-at-a-time basis. Others suffer from pronounced tooth loss or other serious problems that demand a more thorough restorative approach. If you fit either of these categories, then an all-on-6 or
