To Our Wonderful Patients!
into our family here at HSDC over the last several years and hope most of you have had the pleasure of meeting all our highly qualified team members. We take pride in the fact that our team will always put your needs before their own needs. After all, we are here to serve YOU! In other exciting news, we would like to welcome our newest doctor, Dr. Kyle Briggs. Dr. Briggs is a local native hailing from Boonsboro. His experience and qualifications, matched with the HSDC values and mission, make for a remarkable addition to our team. With him aboard, we can increase patient capacity yet still maintain our exceptional safety protocols. Our call center has done a phenomenal job of working through their patient wait list, so we would love to see any friends and family you have been waiting to refer to our office! Referring your friends and family is the highest compliment you could give us. For each referral, you will be entered into our drawing. Our latest drawing will be for a BIG SCREEN TV AND MOVIE PACKAGE (valued at $500)!
As we have entered 2022, the ladies and gentlemen of Hagerstown Smiles wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for your continued patience over the last two years. It’s been a game-changer for everyone! With the pandemic, we’ve had to reapproach how we can continue delivering the highest level of service yet keep our team and patients safe and comfortable. With those changes came reduced capacity and sometimes longer wait times when rescheduling appointments. 2021 brought us the honor of being chosen No. 1 dentist office in Herald Mail’s Tri-State’s Best contest AND we were able to kick off 2022 with the honor of Hagerstown Magazine’s Hotlist as No. 1 dentist! We could not have done it without you! We have welcomed some new faces
Thank you for the opportunity to serve our community! We look forward to an outstanding year!
Sincerely,
–The Ladies and Gentlemen of Hagerstown Smiles Dental Care

JUST LIKE RIDING A BIKE
CYCLING IS THE PERFECT ACTIVITY FOR ALL AGES
You likely learned how to ride a bike as a kid — according to a 2013 survey, about 94% of American adults did. Even if it has been a while since your last ride, most people agree you never forget how, and you don’t have to be in great shape to get started. Outside of walking, biking might be the most accessible exercise for all ages and ability levels. The beauty of biking is that it can be as relaxing or challenging as you want. The average kid learns to ride at around 5 years old, so the basics aren’t complicated. Biking helps young children get outside and gives them a taste of being a "big kid." As a result, it’s excellent for their self-esteem as well as their fitness.
knee problems also use biking as an alternative to other forms of exercise because it’s easier on their joints.
Meanwhile, those looking for a challenge can easily find one. If you want a strenuous workout, it’s easy to ride farther, increase the resistance on your bike, or pick a steeper bike trail to explore. Biking is only a cakewalk if you choose to make it one. Since it’s perfect for all ages, cycling is the ideal outdoor activity to do with your family, allowing everyone to be involved in quality time together while promoting their health. To get started, make sure everyone has a bike they can use comfortably and a helmet that fits, plus understands bike safety. Once the basics are taken care of, you’re ready to hit the trails or explore the neighborhood.
Cycling is also perfect for adults who are new to exercise or need a low-impact activity. A short ride on a flat surface will get the heart rate up
Even if you never learned how to ride, there’s no time like the present. You might feel a little silly at first, but the benefits of cycling will serve you — and your family — well for the rest of your life.
without feeling too strenuous, making it optimal for beginners. Older adults and people with
