In the midst of preparing your little ones for school, it can be easy to throw self-care to the wind. Dr. Yeh + Associates, a premiere dental office in Montclair, is gifting a complimentary, in-office zoom whitening procedure.

Dutch’s Sandwich Shop | 16 Church Street Montclair
IG Handle: @dutchsmontclair
Giveaway Gift and Value: $100 gift card
The newest sandwich shop to arrive on the Montclair food scene, Dutch’s is a crossover between the charm of NYC bodegas and our beloved NJ delis.

MG Pro Tip: The Dutch Daddy sandwich is a must.
