From the desk of
Bill Hartel ~
Greetings!
Dr. Hartel is recuperating at Missouri Baptist Hospital due to a recent bout of
tummy trouble. While he is on the mend, his return to practice will be
delayed for a couple of weeks. In the meantime, Dr. Hartel's excellent
staff remains available to assist his existing patients. Fortunately for
all concerned, Dr. Hartel was able to enlist the assistance of several other
dentists to help provide care in his absence.
Inside this
issue:
Silent
Nite
It is estimated that more than 80 million
people in North America snore while sleeping. Considering the snorer's spouse
and children, as many as 160 million people are negatively affected by snoring
every night. However, there is now a prescription for a more restful night's
sleep: Silent Nite®. Dentists can prescribe this affordable, custom-made
device, which is flexible, thin and comfortable in the mouth, to aid in the
dissolution of snoring. Not only does Silent Nite aid in a good night's sleep,
it exhibits documented clinical success for the prevention of annoying and
unhealthy snoring. For more information on this product, ask about this
item at your next dental visit.
Navajo
Mission Trip 2009
Dr. Hartel and his staff visit the Navajo Reservation in Arizona annually to
provide dental care. The trips are sponsored by the Navajo
Evanjelical Lutheran Mission. View
pictures of the recent trip.
Animal
Balance
Dr. Hartel has inspired many by sharing his Navajo mission trips. His
inspiration inspired Mary Ann Wentzel to participate in spay & neuter
campaigns with Animal
Balance. Her first animal mission trip was to the Galapagos
Islands. After the first trip grew a strong passion to help animals.
AB works with the local authorities to organize community-based sterilization
programs for cats and dogs on islands and areas where the local ecology is
fragile. By humanely reducing and controlling cat and dog populations the
community is healthier and the native species are protected in helping to
conserve biodiversity in fragile ecosystems around the world.
On
the mend...
Despite being laid up with health issues, Dr.
Hartel here strives to stay up to date on
latest dental procedures.
Thank
you very much for your time and the trust you
place in me and my staff.
Yours
Truly,
William
Hartel, D.M.D.
