LINCROFT, NJ--(Marketwired - December 31, 2014) - Newman Springs Dental Care, a leader in aesthetic dentistry, is collecting presents this holiday season for children suffering from cancer and other serious illnesses.

Newman Springs Dental Care, owned by Lincroft dentist Dr. Mitchel Friedman, is one of 12 drop-off locations for this year's present drive for The Believe Project, a New Jersey-based nonprofit that began in 2013.

"This is an amazing facility that treats the most wonderful and brave kids you would ever want to meet," said Dr. Friedman, who provides same day dental implants. "The idea is to bring the magic of Christmas to children who need it the most. Let's make it easier for them. We can't think of a better time of year to give back or a more deserving bunch to give back to. Join with us and donate today."

Last year, Newman Springs Dental Care staff and various organizations contributed more than 350 wrapped presents for boys and girls being treated for cancer and blood disorders at The Valerie Center in Long Branch, N.J. Patients and community members can take part by dropping off a wrapped or unwrapped toy or gift at the Newman Springs Dental Care practice, at 539 Newman Springs Rd, Lincroft, N.J. The Believe Project also accepts child nominations and monetary donations at its website, http://www.thebelieveproject.org.

Dr. Friedman is a 1976 graduate of the Middletown Township Public School System, where his mother, Sheila Friedman Rubin, taught her entire career.

Dr. Friedman is highly recognized as a premier Lincroft cosmetic dentist who is a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry.

Dr. Friedman is responsible for bringing the Dentistry From The Heart program to Lincroft, a program that gives those without insurance a free dentist for the day. During the event, professional oral health care workers provide adults with free exams, blood pressure and advanced oral cancer screenings, and digital X-rays at Dr. Friedman's practice. Volunteers treated nearly 90 patients this year, and Dr. Friedman and his dedicated group of volunteers have given away about $390,000 in dental care since the event came to Lincroft in 2007.
