TOMS RIVER – Local dentists, Dr. Elisa Velazquez and Dr. Matt Sones from Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates, will provide one day of free preventive and emergency pediatric dental care and, if necessary, make referrals for continuing treatment for children ages 12 and under as part of National Children’s Dental Health Month.

The one-day program, called Give Kids a Smile! (GKAS), will take place on February 3 and is part of the American Dental Association’s annual push to bring attention to the number one childhood disease, tooth decay. Dental decay is more common than common childhood diseases including asthma.

“Giving back to the community that has supported my practice is so important,” says Dr. Velazquez. “This program will touch the lives of so many of New Jersey’s children who need dental care, but cannot afford it. I am proud to be a part of it,” she said.

Children who come to Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates (OPDA) for the program will receive a comprehensive dental exam, dental cleaning, oral healthcare instruction, fluoride treatments, and free dental hygiene materials including toothbrushes, floss and toothpaste. The dentists and staff of OPDA are donating their time to help the children of Ocean County.

Helping families in Ocean County with no insurance or with state insurance is the goal of Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates.

Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates has three locations (Toms River, Manahawkin, and Cream Ridge) and the board-certified pediatric dentists provide comprehensive pediatric dental care, sedation dentistry, orthodontics, Invisalign and special needs dentistry for all kids.

The site for Give Kids A Smile is 368 Lakehurst Road suite 305 Toms River. Contact the office at 732-473-1123 to schedule an appointment and visit oceanpediatricdental.com for information on all our services.

Snooki:

Continued From Page 25 retired Ocean County Judge Damien Murray in court who following a plea bargain, sentenced her to a $500 fine and community service with the two charges being dropped.

Polizzi married her Jersey Shore co-star Jionni LaVale on November 29, 2014.

“Snooki & JWoww” was a different type of show as it focused on the two friends’ lives. It was executive produced by Jersey Shore Producer SallyAnn Salsano of 495 Productions and its stars described the reality show as a modern-day Laverne & Shirley.

It ran from June 21, 2012 to February 4, 2015. The fi rst season had the pair living in a former fi rehouse in Jersey City and it was Polizzi’s pregnancy, disclosed during the show, that led to a change in tone veering away from the kind of party antics that was so popular in “Jersey Shore.”

Toms River and Point Pleasant Beach denied requests to film in those communities and Manchester Township was chosen as a filming location - a decision that was met with some controversy by some of the township’s residents.

Snooki gained popularity through both series and appeared on numerous TV talk shows. She was earning $150,000 per episode of “Jersey Shore” by its last season. She served as guest hostess for WWE Raw in 2011 and competed in WrestleMania XXVII that same year.

She made a memorable cameo appearance in 2014 playing herself in a ninth season episode of the CW horror series Supernatural. The plot of the episode called “Blade Runners” had her playing a demon.
