Dr. Steve Carstensen and his team were proud to support the Toys for Tots drive this holiday season and especially proud of the participation and support from our patient community.

We recently received a wonderful comment and wanted to share it with you:

Steve, this is such a great report to your patients. Thank you for doing this, not only for the amazing food, toys and gifts, but for what this kind of effort does to boost awareness of the serious issues of hunger and poverty that surprisingly pervade the Eastside.

Thank you to everyone who supported this worthy cause and helped to provide a message of hope to those in need!

This December, Dr. Carstensen and our team invite you to join us in giving back to our Bellevue community. We are collecting canned foods and new toys to benefit the Toys for Tots Foundation. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.

In addition to supporting this nonprofit organization, Dr. Carstensen will be giving away a spiffy travel toothbrush to one lucky patient who participates in our toy and canned food drive. Drop your donations off at our Bellevue dental office anytime before December 19th for your chance to win Sonicare’s new Diamond brush (valued at over $200)!

Please don't hesitate to give our office a call if you have any questions. Happy Holidays!

Dr. Carstensen & team are fortunate to work in such a wonderful community with so many talented dental offices serving it. This year, we are participating in a bowling event with many of these local offices for charity. On June 27th, we will gather to food, fun, and bowling! Each office will pick a charity they represent, contribute to the pot, and pick a team shirt theme. A percentage of the pot will go to each team's charity, but the competition is mostly about fun, not about who bowls best. There will be ways for each team to earn part of the remaining pot for their charity of choice.

We are excited for this fun event, and the opportunity to further contribute to our community!
