Park Family and Cosmetic Dentistry Patient Appreciation Party

We wowed you last year with the Vietnamese Spring Roll recipe. We decided it was time to wow you again.

This time Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry wants to share their Fried Vietnamese Bananas Recipe.

Ingredients:

• Vietnamese White Flour - optional


• Tapioca Pudding Powder


• Water


• Vietnamese Bananas – best if they are ripe (those small mini sized bananas you see at the store and wonder when Chiquita started making miniature bananas!)


• Oil for deep frying

Directions:

Heat oil in either a deep pot, deep fryer, or how Dr Long did it: in a pan over a camping propane cooker.

Mix equal parts flour and tapioca powder in a medium size bowl, or can just use the tapioca powder. Add enough water to make a batter similar in consistency with pancake batter.

Slice bananas at an angle so that the cuts do not produce coin style banana slices, but elongated banana slices.

Dip banana slices into the batter and coat well.

Add batter coated banana slices in hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.

If coin style slices were made the batter will balloon up like a donut and it will be difficult to brown on both sides because the donut will continue to flip itself over and the center won’t brown.

Best to enjoy warm.

A Continued Commitment to Excellence in Dentistry - Learning, and Caring

In these days of high-tech dentistry and medicine, it's rare to find a dental team that exudes that "old-fashioned-family-feel" that so many of us remember from our childhood - however, that's exactly what patients can expect from the entire team of dental professionals at Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Naples, FL - but that doesn't mean that Dr. Long and Dr. Huynh-Le aren't firmly committed to the very latest in technological advances in modern dentistry - investing in technology such as the E4D system, and dedication to continued education are the keys to the success of this Naples, Florida dental practice.

"One way that we stay current on the very latest in dental advances is attending conferences and seminars," says Dr. Long. "We spend a lot of time and money on continuing education, so we constantly grow, constantly learn. That benefits our patients directly. We never stop learning and growing, and we understand how important that is to our patients."

One of the latest seminars attended by the Doctors and staff of Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry was "101 Ways To Improve Your Practice" - a comprehensive practice management seminar. The seminar focused on a broad spectrum of methods and techniques for operating a successful dental practice, from both clinical, as well as administrative perspectives.

"This will complement our philosophy of gentle, personalized dentistry very nicely," states Dr. Huynh-Le. "We've always been committed to providing not just great dental care - but exceptional dental care to our clientele. We want our patients to feel like they are family and friends, and excellence in dentistry is how we convey that sentiment."

The theme for this year is "The Rise of Collaboration," which will provide an opportunity for dental teams to develop and refine their skills together so they can provide their patients with the best oral health care.
