Thank you for making the Toothboss the #1 Choice in Weymouth

The Toothboss is the proud recipient of the Gold Award for WickedLocal's Reader's Choice as  the #1 Dentist/Dental Office in Weymouth and the South Shore. Thanks to you, our loyal patients, for your continued patronage and support.

And one thing is for certain. You don't have to worry about the gold going to our head. The Toothboss will continue to provide the same comprehensives, contemporary and compassionate care we have for the past 20-plus years.

Thank you, once again, for your continued support. We know there are many places you can go to receive your dental care. We thank you for choosing The Toothboss.

10 decades of smiles. The Toothboss honors Ruth Anderson.

Over the course of her 92 years, Weymouth resident Ruth Anderson has been an active volunteer for a number of organizations. That started with her being a nurse’s aide for the Red Cross during World War II and recently concluded two years ago when a broken arm forced her to give up her driver’s license and stop delivering meals for the ‘elderly’. For her lifetime of service and bringing smiles to all the people she has helped, The Toothboss has honored her with our Smiling Neighbor award.

In between her time with the Red Cross and delivering meals, Ruth volunteered at Pond Home, a home for the elderly in Wrentham, Mass. She volunteered at the home from the age of 16 until age 80 (she was a trustee during her final 12 years). She was a member of the Weymouth Circle of King's Daughters and Sons, a Christian service organization, and delivered meals for Father Bill’s. Ruth worked as a librarian at the Fogg Library in Weymouth until her “retirement” in 1981.

For being selected as the Smiling Neighbor, Ruth had the choice of receiving a $50 gift card to Stockholders or a Sonicare Easy Clean model (she chose Stockholders).

Said her daughter Nancy Burke, “My mother is an amazing woman who never did any of these things for her own glory but to help others. It’s nice of Dr. Wolfert to recognize her for these efforts, but I’d like to add one of her more noteworthy accomplishment. She was the most amazing mother to me and my four brothers.”

The Smiling Neighbor award is given out on a quarterly basis to citizens of Weymouth going above and beyond the call of duty for their fellow citizens. People can nominate a Smiling Neighbor by sending an e-mail of 200 words or less to toothboss1@aol.com. Please remember to include your name and telephone number as well as the name and telephone number or e-mail of the person they are nominating. Nominations can also be sent to The Toothboss, 1121 Main Street, South Weymouth, MA  02190.

Thank you from DOVE

At the Toothboss, we like to put smiles on our patients' faces. Yet sometimes, it's nice when somebody returns the favor. DOVE, a non-profit that provides shelter to victims of domestic violence, recently did that with a very kind thank you note (below). The Toothboss had donated 150 toothbrush kits to the drive put on by Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro, LLC.

So, thank you, DOVE, for your kind note. We are happy to help!

Dental hygienist Michaella Rosher joins the Toothboss

Michaella Rosher, the newest hygienist at
The Toothboss

The Toothboss, the South Weymouth dental practice of Dr. Richard Wolfert, DMD, recently added Bridgewater resident Michaella Rosher to its staff as a dental hygienist.

Michaella graduated from Bristol Community College in 2013 with an associate’s degree in Science in Dental Hygiene. She has previously worked as a hygienist at a pediatric dental practice.

“We’re thrilled to have Michaella as the newest member of our team of hygienists,” said Dr. Wolfert. “Michaella has a natural rapport with our patients and has already become a favorite of several of our regulars.”

“I love working for Dr. Wolfert  because I see how much he truly cares for his patients, which is rare,” said Rosher. “I also love that he is willing to teach me things I may not be familiar with and allows me to ask as many questions as I need to as I am still fairly new in the dental world.”.

A lifelong resident of Bridgewater, Ms. Rosher recently became engaged to Derek Slicis.  A 2015 wedding is planned.

Toothboss shares a smile, donates toothbrushes to DOVE drive

Many women stay in bad situations for fear of not having anywhere else to go. DOVE,a domestic violence assistance organization based in Quincy, Massachusetts, provides options for those women. The law firm of Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro, P.C. in Quincy is trying to help.

The Firm is conducting a personal and household drive to help out the families that utilize DOVE's services. The Toothboss recently donated 144 toothbrush/toothpaste kits to this drive. I encourage everybody to help out this very worthy cause by contributing simple household items.

Items being accepted by Baker, Braverman & Barbadoro, P.C. at their offices on the fifth floor at 300 Crown Colony Drive and in the building’s lobby include:

• Personal hygiene - toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, nail clippers
• Bed and bath - shampoo, conditioner, bath towels, washcloths, pillows
• Kitchen - paper towels, Kleenex, disposable utensils/plates, silverware, pots/pans
• Cleaning Supplies - floor cleaner, disinfecting wipes, mops, brooms, Windex
• Feminine hygiene products - sanitary napkins, shaving cream

The general public and fellow tenants of 300 Crown Colony Drive are encouraged to contribute. The drive began on April 14 and will continue through May 30. 

 “We would like to thank Dr. Wolfert for his generous donation of the toothbrushes and kits,” said Paul N. Barbadoro, a partner at The Firm. “This is the second drive we have conducted for DOVE. The response was to our drive for coats and canned goods last November was tremendous. We hope that with the good weather now here, more people, like Dr. Wolfert just did, will come out and help this very worthy cause.”
