Local Oxon Hill MD Dentist Contributes to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

OXON HILL, Md. - March 31, 2016 - PRLog -- Comprehensive Dental Care, in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, takes pride in donating time and money to charitable organizations in the communities they are in, but there is one specific organization that is near and dear to the Dr. Peter Merai's heart. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is at the cutting-edge of the latest medicine and research in fighting life-threatening pediatric diseases such as cancer, all while freeing families from the cost of healthcare. The hospital never charges the patients or their families and most of the funds that keep the hospital running come from private donations.

Dr. Merai and Comprehensive Dental Care is proud to support St. Children's Research Hospital with monthly donations to the charity. He encourages his patients to contribute as well. Dr. Merai says, "I think St. Jude's is a very meaningful charity. Those kids and their parents don't have to pay anything, which I think is incredible. Helping children is a very special call because they cannot help themselves. I feel we, as adults, have an eternal obligation to help them, after all they didn't ask to be here."

Comprehensive Dental Care also offers a sophisticated mobile dental clinic for seniors in the Oxon Hill community. The clinic boasts a state-of-the-art digital X-ray unit for low radiation computerized X-rays. Dr. Merai travels around a 30 mile radius from Oxon Hill including nearby cities of Fort Washington, Clinton, Temple Hills, Upper Marlboro and other surrounding areas. Dentistry on Wheels is specifically for the elderly in need of dentures in the community.
