It’s amazing to think that we’ve been established right here in Winthrop Center for 60 years now. Dr. Barry, Dr. Howard, and Dr. Stephanie Brooks are honored to continue the Brooks Dental legacy. We hope that you enjoy our story of how Dr. Barry Brooks created an office that allowed generations of dentists to provide exceptional care to the community.

How Dr. Barry Founded Brooks Dental Dr. Barry Brooks grew up right here in Winthrop, MA. His father had a couple of friends that happened to be dentists, and they had only good things to say about their profession. It was then that Dr. Barry became curious about pursuing a dental career. Dr. Barry attended Harvard College (now University) in Cambridge, and thereafter, he decided to apply to dental schools. Following his graduation from Harvard, he attended Loyola Dental School in Chicago, graduating at the top of his class. He then went into the Army Dental Corps for two years, which at the time was customary of new dental graduates. He was assigned to Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri where he practiced dentistry on the soldiers and their families.

After serving, Dr. Barry returned to his hometown of Winthrop and began looking for a place to open a dental office. At the time, the town did not have many dentists practicing, so he realized, what better spot to open than in the center of town? He opened Brooks Dental in December of 1959 and was overwhelmed with patients immediately! His office drew in many families with children, and because water fluoridation had not become the norm yet, many kids came in with lots of cavities. His wife, Eleanor, was actually a dental assistant before Dr. Barry became a dentist, so she worked in the office with him right from the start. He also hired a secretary and a hygienist to start with, and the practice stayed very busy through the coming years. Dr. Barry and Elly raised six children, hoping that one of them would be interested in continuing the legacy at Brooks Dental. Their son, Howard, attended Boston University School of Dental Medicine and thereafter joined the practice in 1987. At that point, Drs. Barry and Howard Brooks enlarged the office, and hired more dental assistants and hygienists. The two of them worked seamlessly together, and it was a joy for Dr. Barry to be able to mentor his son through the beginning stages of his career. Where Dr. Howard Brooks’ Passion for Dentistry began Dr. Howard Brooks grew up in Winthrop and graduated from Winthrop High School. His father’s dental practice was a big part of his daily life. He always dreamed that one day he would work side by side with his father in his dental office. As a child, he enjoyed hobbies such as building model cars and whittling any piece of wood he could find. Dr. Brooks’ hand dexterity has always been second nature to him, lending itself perfectly to the practice of dentistry. Dr. Brooks’ wife, Debra, played an instrumental role in encouraging and guiding his pursuit of dentistry. She knew he would excel because he could exercise his creativity, hand-eye coordination, and people and management skills. Without her encouragement, Brooks Dental would look very different today. Dr. Brooks attended The Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine at Boston University, graduating in 1987. There were many mentors that shaped his dental career at BU, but none more than his father. Dental school taught him the basics, clinically and ethically. However, Dr. Barry Brooks taught him the real nuts and bolts of dentistry: how to show respect, kindness, and empathy along with mastering the correct clinical skills to create beautiful results. From father, to colleague, to friend, their relationship took on a whole new dimension. Dr. Brooks feels that staying sharp in the field means continuing his education and staying current with trends in technology, equipment, materials, and hands-on training. Attending the Yankee Dental Convention in Boston yearly with Dr. Barry, along with other educational events, has allowed them to stay up-to-date with the ever-changing dental industry. During this 60th year in business, Dr. Brooks reflects on the addition of his daughter, Dr. Stephanie Brooks, to the staff at Brooks Dental. What a wonderful experience, to have three generations not only working in the field but working in the same office together serving Winthrop and the surrounding communities. He thinks back to Dr. Stephanie’s graduation and reminisces about his own experience on that same stage 32 years before. He relishes the opportunity to mentor Dr. Stephanie as his father mentored him; to guide her so that she feels that joy and satisfaction of helping change people’s lives. Dr. Brooks feels that to be successful in any service industry, one needs to surround himself with like-minded people who have the same core values. Sixty years in business equates to having a cohesive, motivated team that can deliver exceptional service. He considers his long-term staff as an extension of his family, and Brooks Dental would not be where they are today without them. Dr. Stephanie Joins the Family Practice! From a young age, Dr. Stephanie was very intrigued about what her father did for work. His passion for dentistry and for helping others inspired her to want to pursue the same path. In high school she most enjoyed her art classes such as photography, painting, sculpting, and sketching. Working with her hands and seeing out of a creative lens were interests she knew had a place in the field of dentistry. After receiving her undergraduate degree from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Dr. Stephanie chose to study at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine. A surprising number of faculty members still worked at the Dental School that had taught her father back in the ‘80s. It was incredibly unique to have that kind of mentorship and support. She knew going into the program that she wanted to pursue general dentistry in particular and go right into practice with her father and grandfather at Brooks Dental. It was a very special experience for her to be able to stand on stage at graduation with her father, also a BU Dental graduate, by her side. In May 2018, Dr. Stephanie graduated at the top of her class (summa cum laude) and was inducted into the National Dental Honors Society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. She was thrilled to join the practice in July of 2018. Brooks Dental had been like family to her all her life, and she felt so welcomed by both staff and patients upon joining the practice as a clinician. Dr. Stephanie has always had a passion for teaching. She always wondered what it would have been like to pursue a career in teaching as opposed to dentistry. Throughout her career so far, however, she has come to realize how integral teaching is to the practice of dentistry. So much of dentistry relies on education – walking patients through a procedure so they understand it, educating them on preventive measures, and so on. These are the aspects of her daily practice that she truly loves. In the future, Dr. Stephanie hopes to return to BU as a faculty member and dedicate some of her time in academia, teaching dental students in the clinic setting. Together, Drs. Barry, Howard, and Stephanie offer a level of dentistry that is truly second-to-none. Now, with 60 years under their belt Brooks Dental looks forward to continue to providing many more years of service to the community

The revelation last week by members of our intelligence agencies to Congress that the Russians once again are, and will be, interfering in our electoral process is an ominous portent for the national election in November. The recent experience of the mismanaged vote-counting at the Democratic caucuses in Iowa has shown the limits of the technology that we have employed to replace paper ballots and its susceptibility to being bungled and hacked. Even worse, the extreme form of gerrymandering and voter suppression in the Southern states brings into ques- tion whether some in our own country even believe in the democratic process. Together, these developments should give all of us good reason to be fearful about the future of our republic. That may sound dire and overly-dramatic, but it’s a reality that we cannot ignore. The one thing that had set us apart from every other na- tion in the world -- the sanctity and fairness of our elec- toral process -- has been shown to be vulnerable not only to foreign influence, but also to a combination of our own Guest Op-Ed incompetence, our misplaced faith in 21st century technol- ogy, and the blatant self-interest of certain political groups.

WINARC VALENTINES DANCE AT THE ROBERT DELEO SENIOR CENTER

Story and Photos by Ralph Tufo

WINARC held its annual Valentines Dance at the Rob- ert DeLeo Senior Center on Feb. 15. The packed crowd enjoyed dancing to the lively selection of music from the DJ Entourage: Matt, Erin, and Austin. Everyone enjoyed the pizza, desserts, and soft drinks. The night was topped off with group conga lines, limbo, and line dancing. The next dance, Swing into Spring, will be held in April. WINTHROP MARKETPLACE TERIYAKI PINEAPPLE DRUMSTICKS RECIPE Above and below, guests enjoy camradarie, live music and party games during the WINARC Valentine’s Dance. INGREDIENTS: 1 tablespoon garlic salt pineapple 1 tablespoon minced chives 1/2 cup water 1-1/2 teaspoons paprika 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons pepper 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon salt 24 chicken drumsticks 1/4 cup yellow mustard 1/2 cup canola oil 4 teaspoons cornstarch 1 can (8 ounces) crushed 2 tablespoons cold water Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Mix the first five ingredients; sprinkle over chicken. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown drumsticks in batches. Transfer to a roasting pan. 2. Meanwhile, combine pineapple, 1/2 cup water, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard; pour over chicken. Cover; bake until tender, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours, uncovering during the last 20-30 minutes of baking to let skin crisp. 3. Remove drumsticks to a platter; keep warm. Transfer cook- ing juices to a small saucepan; skim fat. Bring juices to a boil. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Return to a boil; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with drumsticks. Yield: 12 servings. 35 REVERE ST., WINTHROP (617)846-6880
