PARSIPPANY — Parsippany Family Dental has launched a special new patient welcome package, which enables new patients to benefit from a comprehensive dental examination, x-rays, cleaning, polishing, screening, and gum evaluation at a special reduced price of $80. With the regular cost of these procedures standing at $230.00, new patients can benefit from savings of $150.00 with the package. They are located at 758 Route 46, in the Arlington Plaza Shopping Center.

As part of the initial exam the dental professionals will check for gum disease. While this is usually mild, if gum disease is left untreated, it can lead to a large number of issues including infection and loss of teeth. When a patient has poor periodontal health, it may also lead to diabetes, respiratory issues, strokes and heart complications. When a person has a healthy mouth, it is a great indication that they are in great overall health, as well.

Dentists will also screen patients for oral cancer, during their visit, which is now the sixth most common type of cancer in the U.S. Additionally, with a fifty percent mortality rate, catching this disease early on can literally be the difference in life or death.

An official from the clinic said: “Our special offer for new patients means that those joining our clinic can now benefit from a really thorough dental checkup to ensure that their oral health is in order. These checks are a vital part of maintaining dental health and avoiding what could become serious problems. Our welcome package makes it easier and cheaper for new patients to maintain good dental health.”

He added “Great dental hygiene and health is more than just a beautiful while smile and fresh breath. Proper oral care and hygiene, including the regular flossing, brushing and regular dental exams are important for factors including proper speech, self-esteem and chewing. When individuals do not seek routine and regular dental care their teeth may become decayed, causing nerve exposure, which may result in extreme pain. With regular dental visits this can completely eliminate any tooth decay and prevent a good amount of the pain that is associated with gum disease and cavities.”

The professionals at Parsippany Family Dental are dedicated to making each patient’s visit to the dentist stress and anxiety free. The staff understands that many people have a fear going to the dentist, and they have worked hard to make appointments as pleasurable and pain free as possible. From the offerings of a comfortable chair to options for sedation, patients are able to relax and receive the dental care that they need.

Ever wonder where Farny State Park in Rockaway got its name? Or see sign son Route 10 in Parsippany and wonder, why are there signs about Gustav Stickley? Answers to these and many other questions about our community can be found in Heather E. Stivison’s recently published book, “Craftsman Farms.”

The book is part of Arcadia Publishing’s iconic Images of America series, which chronicles the history of small towns and downtowns across the country. Captured in unique pictorial format, this small slice of hometown history details the story of Parsippany’s Craftsman Farms and the often forgotten aspects of American life that surround it.

Craftsman Farms was the country estate of the father of the American Arts and Crafts movement, Gustav Stickley. Though Stickley is credited with creating hundreds of home designs, this property contains the only home he designed and built for his own use. His rustic log house was built upon a rolling hillside surrounded by lawns, stone walls, and working farmland. In September 1917, the property was purchased by Sylvia and George Farny, who loved it dearly and passed it on to their descendants. Portions of the 650 acres were sold, but the core remained intact until the 1980s, when it was threatened by condominium development. Community activists launched a “Save the Farms” campaign, which led to the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills purchasing Craftsman Farms through eminent domain. Today, it is a busy historic house museum operated by the nonprofit Craftsman Farms Foundation. Craftsman Farms showcases the significant design legacy Gustav Stickley created as well as the architectural and landscape history of this New Jersey National Historic Landmark.
Heather E. Stivison, the former executive director of the Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms, selected many previously unpublished photographs from the museum’s archives and from personal scrapbooks of descendants of Craftsman Farms’ residents. With more than two hundred vintage images, Craftsman Farms celebrates our region, bringing to life the people, places, and events that define our community.

Stivison, who resides in coastal Massachusetts, will be returning to Morris County for two exclusive book signings. Stivison will be answering questions and signing books Saturday, August 1 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Morris Plains Pharmacy, 712 Speedwell Ave # 2, Morris Plains, NJ 07950, and Sunday, August 2 at Ray and Judy’s Book Stop 40 W Main St, Rockaway, NJ 07866.
