Tis the Season to Sparkle

The holiday season brings a special kind of warmth; twinkling lights, festive gatherings, and plenty of delicious foods that only make an appearance this time of year. From frosted cookies to rich chocolates to sticky holiday favorites, there’s no shortage of sweet temptations. With all these seasonal treats, it’s more important than ever to stay on top of your brushing and flossing routine. A few extra minutes of care each day can keep your smile bright well into the new year.

At Rozanski Family Dentistry, the holidays also serve as a wonderful reminder of what matters most: family, community, and the moments that make us smile. This year, we wanted to do something special. We asked each team member to share what they love most about the holiday season, from traditions and memories to the simple joys that bring them happiness.

My favorite part about the holidays is seeing all of the Christmas lights and decorations around the neighborhood. I also enjoy spending time with Family and eating all the holiday foods, Especially Cookies :)

A Year of Growth and a Heartfelt Farewell

As we celebrate the season, we’re also mindful of the milestones that mark the end of another great year at Rozanski Family Dentistry. This year brings a particularly meaningful moment: saying farewell to Melinda, one of our beloved hygienists, who will be retiring this month.

Melinda has been an essential part of our practice family for 25 years years. Patients know her for her gentle touch, calming presence, and the way she makes every visit feel personal and comfortable. Our team knows her as someone who shows up every day with dedication, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to patient care.

As she prepares for her next chapter, Melinda shared a few heartfelt words:

“For 25 years, being a dental hygienist has been so much more than a job. Its been my passion, my purpose, and one of the greatest privileges of my life. Brightening smiles, building trust and being part of my patients lives, one visit at a time. Its what has made this career so meaningful. This stopped being "just a job" a long time ago.

— Melinda

While we will miss seeing her in the office each week, we are overjoyed for her as she begins this exciting new phase of life. Her legacy, compassion, and professionalism will always be a part of our practice culture.

Looking Ahead With Gratitude

As we close out the year, we’re filled with appreciation for our team, for our patients, and for the community we are so honored to serve. Your trust allows us to continue doing what we love, and your smiles are truly the best gift we could ask for.

During this festive season, we encourage everyone to enjoy the traditions and treats that make the holidays special while keeping dental health a priority. Small daily habits, like brushing twice a day, flossing regularly, and drinking plenty of water, can make a big difference.

From all of us at Rozanski Family Dentistry, thank you for another incredible year. We’re excited for everything the new year will bring, and we look forward to continuing to care for you and your families.

We wish you a happy, healthy, and joyful holiday season, with Smiles all around.
