Dr. Zavras and Dr. Cartsos and our Convivial Dental office are proud to support and contribute toward the WALK FOR HEALTH at the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, at Cleveland Circle in Brighton Ma. on September 20 , 2015.
The funds raised will be used to benefit the HADASSAH MEDICAL ORGANIZATION IN ISREAL, one of the major treatment centers in Israel.
There is nothing more gratifying than making a profound difference in child's life. For children born with a facial cleft or a congenital malformation to the face, their medical journey starts at birth. Treatment is intense.
For families that have no adequate insurance, costs are often prohibitive. Thus the need to raise funds to help children in need.
Dr. Zavras and Dr. Cartsos and our Convivial Dental office are proud to participate in the annual 2015 “PACES FOR FACES” WALK AND FAMILY PICNIC.
The event is taking place on Lake Quannapowitt, Wakefield, MA., Sunday, October 4, 2015. The walk starts at 10:30 a.m. and will end at 2:00 p.m.
Our goal is to raise money to contribute toward the FOUNDATION FOR FACES OF CHILDREN affiliated with TUFTS FLOATING HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN.
If you would like to participate, and/or donate towards this cause, please see flyer. The organization's website is pacesforfaces.com/2015-walk
We look forward to seeing you there!!!
Labor Day is upon us, and that means the non-official end to summer. Before the kids head back to school and temperatures start to cool down, this is your last chance to barbeque in the beautiful Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts community, head to the lake, and wear your favorite pair of white pants.

You already know that Convivial Dental recommends you come in for a checkup and cleaning at least every six months, but do you know what your child’s dental needs are? From the time children are babies and growing in their first teeth, their oral health care needs may be different from adults. It’s important to know what they need, and when, to help them grow strong, healthy teeth.
When to See Our Team at Convivial Dental
While dental care (at home) can begin as soon as your baby starts to show signs of that first tooth, most experts do not recommend you see a dentist until your child is at least one year old. The child will likely be too young at this point to have a full dental exam, but we can take a look at your baby’s teeth and give you tips for brushing and flossing properly.
By the time your child has all of his or her baby teeth—usually around 24 to 30 months of age—we can begin scheduling regular checkups and cleanings.
What to Expect on the First Visits
The first visit to our Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts office for a full exam will mostly involve getting to know Drs. Cartsos and Zavras and staff members, and making your child feel comfortable. Let us know if you would like to sit in the exam room during the appointment, but keep in mind that it may be beneficial to leave your child alone with Drs. Cartsos and Zavras for a portion of the appointment so we can start building trust with your child.
Our team at Convivial Dental will likely do some or all of the following during your child's visit:
In most cases, we will recommend that you bring your child in every six months for regular checkups, the same as your recommended frequency.
Understanding your child’s unique dental needs is important for providing the best possible care when it becomes necessary. We look forward to building a good relationship with your child so coming to the dentist is a fun, rewarding experience and not a frightening one.
We are now offering appointments and consultations for pediatric dental and orthodontics virtually through the online platform Doxy.me. This safe, reliable and HIPPA compliant technology will allow us to see you from the convenience of your home.
