Earlier this month, we announced that our staff at Downtown Dental is committed to running the Music City Half Marathon [LINK TO: Join us in staying healthy from head to toe] as a way to commit to total body health and raise support for St. Jude Heroes. To help you join our cause, we’re rolling out a partnership and promotion with Nashville Running Company to give current and potential Downtown Dental 200 reasons to join in on staying healthy! Whether you’re one of the 30,000 people training for the Country Music Marathon or Half Marathon or you’re just looking to stay active during the winter months, investing in good running or walking shoes is important. However, most of us aren’t racing to buy new running shoes, even if we are preparing for a race. To help Nashville residents stay healthy from head to toe, we’re partnering with Nashville Running Company to offer the opportunity for an exclusive $200 gift card to anyone who schedules a new patient appointment or refers a friend to Downtown Dental from now until the end of April! Whether you’re a businessman who works downtown looking to beat your personal record for the half marathon or you just moved downtown and are looking for a new dentist, this is the perfect excuse to give us a call. How can you tell which Country Music Marathon finishers are Downtown Dental patients? There are a couple of ways: 1. They're part of Downtown Dental’s St. Jude Heroes Team! 2. They’ll be the ones with the fresh new kicks and white smiles in the pictures at the finish line. Whether you’re running in the Country Music Marathon or not, we hope you’ll join us as we continue to promote healthy living from head to toe and support St. Jude’s and support our St. Jude Heroes as we raise support for St. Jude's life saving mission of finding cures and saving children. New patients can click here, call 615.254.1393, or email us to schedule your appointment today to be in the running for the NRC gift card. Current patients will also be put in the running when their referral mentions their name while scheduling their appointment! Are you running the Country Music Marathon or Half Marathon? If so, leave us a comment below!
This past month, Downtown Dental teamed with Dr. Damon Barbieri of Barbieri Orthodontics and approximately 20 other businesses in a joint effort to provide food for our Middle Tennessee community through Second Harvest Food Bank. Giving Back this Holiday Season with Second Harvest According to Second Harvest, there are 103,000 people in Davidson County who classify as food insecure*. While this number can seem overwhelming at first, organizations like Second Harvest are working hard to decrease the number of families who suffer from food insecurity every year. After learning the impact that Second Harvest is making in our community, we jumped on board to help!
