Due to the lovely white stuff that is coming down and what is to follow the rest of the afternoon and evening we have closed the office for today.  Anyone with an appointment today was called and we will be calling you back on Thursday to get you rescheduled.  We apologize for any inconviencience.

I have been out of the office for a few days this week attending my annual update on dental products, procedures, techniques, what’s hot and what’s not in dentistry.  It is presented by an independent research group made up of dentists, microbiologists, and other geeky scientist types. We all get ‘geeked out’ about things in life and this is one of mine.   I love dentistry because of all the new things that are happening in the field.  It makes my job that much more exciting when I can solve a problem for my patient with a better technique or material … Continue reading →

Saturday morning I drove up Grandview Ave to see what was going on.  I had heard the sirens at home and then the electricity went out. As I drove up Grandview Ave and saw the thick black smoke I was preparing myself for anything. Many businesses were destroyed and our hearts go out to them.  We are actively keeping in contact to see what support we can offer.  Please stay tuned to our Blog for additional posts on what we can do to help these businesses thrive! Z Cucina survived the blaze with minimal damage and they are working to … Continue reading →

We had quite a snowfall yesterday.  The office stayed open until the normal Wednesday hour of 7 PM and most patients braved the storm and came.  Whether you love it or can’t stand it a good snowfall does have a few postives as I see.  Besides being able to use my snow blower throughout the neighborhood I also get to wear my favorite hat for weather like this…… my wife calls it the Nanook of the North hat …  I can’t tell if she likes it when I wear it or not…..

Ugh!!! Gum Disease!! Make a commitment to yourself to improve your health and your smile today.  Did you know that 4 out of 5 people are walking around with the worst silent killer of teeth and it’s called periodontal disease to us dental clinical types but your probably no it as Gum Disease. Yes it’s a disease, yes it can get kind of gross, but it is easily treatable and maybe even reversible if you stick with it! Did you know gum disease has been linked to heart disease?   Yep and why do you think we stress flossing between your teeth … Continue reading →

While I was out walking the dog today in the snow I started dreaming of warmer days in the Tropical sunshine of the Caribbean.  Enjoy the photo and sound montage of our staff cruise from last year!

Ahhh!  You’ve just come from your professional cleaning at the dentist.  Your teeth are healthy and sparkly clean and you have a nice new toothbrush.  So what do you do with the old toothbrush? Don’t throw them away.  Instead throw them in the dishwasher on the top shelf.  Once the toothbrushes are clean, allow them to dry and then use your toothbrushes in the various ways listed below.  You’ve probably seen some of these but I bet I surprise you with a few new ones. Place a dab of laundry dtergent on a clothing stain and then scrub with an … Continue reading →
