SOUTH WEYMOUTH, MA and QUINCY, MA …

Earlier this year, South Weymouth Dentist Dr. Richard Wolfert, AKA “The Toothboss” kicked off a Smiling Neighbor program to recognize people in the community who, through their own generosity and acts of kindness, have made their fellow citizens smile. With his recent donation of toothbrushes to a drive for victims of domestic abuse, he may have to nominate himself for this quarter’s award.

Dr. Wolfert donated 144 toothbrush/toothpaste kits to a drive to benefit DOVE, a domestic violence assistance organization based in Quincy, Massachusetts. The drive for personal and household items is being undertaken by Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro, P.C., at their offices on the fifth floor at 300 Crown Colony Drive and building’s lobby.

“Many women stay in bad situations for fear of not having anywhere else to go. DOVE provides options for those women but to do so requires assistance so these families have the basic day-to-day items we often take for granted,” said Wolfert. “Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro are to be commended for conducting this drive. I encourage everybody to help out this very worthy cause by contributing simple household items.”

The drive began on April 14 and will continue through May 30. Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro, P.C. will be accepting donations of the following items:

  • Personal hygiene – toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, nail clippers
  • Bed and bath – shampoo, conditioner, bath towels, washcloths, pillows
  • Kitchen – paper towels, Kleenex, disposable utensils/plates, silverware, pots/pans
  • Cleaning Supplies – floor cleaner, disinfecting wipes, mops, brooms, Windex
  • Feminine hygiene products – sanitary napkins, shaving cream
  • The general public and fellow tenants of 300 Crown Colony Drive are encouraged to contribute.

The Firm will be collecting these items in containers situated in both their offices at 300 Crown Colony Drive in Quincy and in the Firm’s offices on the fifth floor. The general public and tenants of 300 Crown Colony Drive are encouraged to contribute.

“We would like to thank Dr. Wolfert for his generous donation of the toothbrushes,” said Paul N. Barbadoro, a partner at The Firm. “This is the second drive we have conducted for DOVE. The response was to our drive for coats and canned goods last November was tremendous. We hope that with the good weather now here, more people, like Dr. Wolfert just did, will come out and help this very worthy cause.”

Smiles by the Toothboss dental practice gets a cleaning…South Weymouth dental practice switches to paperless records, renovates office space.

SOUTH WEYMOUTH, MA

Some people just don’t like to go to the dentist’s office. While that’s a fact professionals like Dr. Richard Wolfert, DMD, accept, he’s doing everything in his power to make the visit to the dentist a more comfortable experience by undergoing a number of cosmetic and operational improvements to his Smiles by the Toothboss dental practice located at 1121 Main Street in South Weymouth.

The renovations began with a conversion to digital radiography so that all X-rays and records are now stored electronically. This makes treatments easier to diagnose and record-keeping more efficient. Also, removing large filing cabinets from the work area enabled the construction of a more spacious, ergonomically sound space for Wolfert’s staff, which has grown in numbers over the years.

“The apprehensions people have about coming to the dentist are based on their own fears, but how an office appears and how work flows can affect how patients perceive the experience and exacerbate those feelings,” said Wolfert. “These improvements have made us more efficient and ergonomically sound as we now have reception desk that can comfortably seat two staff members who aren’t reaching over each other while serving patients and that puts everyone at ease.”

Adds Wolfert, “Being paperless is another huge benefit. Beyond the storage issues, just not having a paper record makes for a much more hygienic environment, as well as being more private.”

Wolfert anticipates the renovations being completed over the next month. Though he realizes improved appearance and efficiency may not help all patients get over their apprehension about visiting the dentist, Smiles by the Toothboss does offer one service that can help: sedation dentistry.

“We do offer sedation dentistry for patients who do have a fear of going to the dentist,” said Wolfert. “It’s not like the old days where dentists used nitric oxide or ‘laughing gas’. The new oral sedatives leave patients or patients who have a severe fear of the dentists feeling relaxed and calm—and conscious—throughout the appointment.”

In addition to sedation dentistry, Dr. Wolfert offers a wide range of dental services, including comprehensive examinations, cosmetics, tooth-colored restorations, partial and full dentures; dental implants, periodontics (early cases treated) and emergency services (24-hour emergency phone number available).

Dr. Wolfert’s practice, Smiles by the Toothboss, is located at 1121 Main Street in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. For more information, you can visit Dr. Wolfert’s website at www.toothboss.com or call 781-335-0604 to schedule a consultation.
