Giving Back to the Community
Our office absolutely believes in the power of tithing and giving back. Dr. Tong and I have been blessed with so much. We are able to work with a great team and wonderful patients. We truly love what we do. Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others. Children hold a special place in our hearts, as we have 5 children of our own. Most of the charitable work we do has to do with children.
It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it. ~ALBERT EINSTEIN
“Give Kids A Smile” Program Leaves Everyone Smiling
Over the past 5 years, over $40,000 of dental work were donated and rendered. All team members and Doctors from this office volunteer their services and time. This is truly is an office with a heart.
Instead of our regular office hours, on the first Friday of February, our doors are open for children twelve and under who need dental care, but do not have access elsewhere due to financial reasons “Sometimes people need a helping hand-----this is our way of showing we care”, said Dr. LaCap.
The children who come to the office are treated to home baked cookies, oral hygiene instruction, a cleaning, fluoride treatment and free dentistry. “This is wonderful that the doctors and their team do this for my children,” related a grateful Mom. “My children really feel special here. They are treated with dignity and patience. Everyone at the office are genuinely caring people.”
Giving Back to our Hometown through Bantay Bata
Bantay Bata is a child welfare program that not only rescues and rehabilitates sick and abused children, but also provides shelter, therapy and quality home care for rescued children until they can be reunited with their families or referred to proper child care services.
Through the years our office has had “White-a-thons” and “Sealant-a-thons” to help raise money for the organization.

Everyone knows a friend or family member who has been diagnosed or survived breast cancer. This hits close to home. One of our hygienist and some of our dearest patients have battled breast cancer. This is our way of showing our support and helping the cause." said Dr. Lacap.
