There’s no doubt that a good day begins with a great night’s rest, especially when we are still growing. For most children, a set sleep schedule is enough to promote positive, restorative rest; scheduled naps, a regular bedtime, and, of course, healthy habits like teeth brushing before bed. Unfortunately, as so many tired parents can…

When we hear the term “tongue-tied”, many of us may recall a personal experience where we accidentally stumbled over a word or struggled to recall a phrase. Unfortunately, there are many people who have to deal with a medical condition that literally restricts their tongue’s movement and causes difficulty speaking. Who can have a tongue-tie…

Each year we get a little bit older and a little bit wiser thanks to all the ups and downs we experience. With our senior dental care, it is not only possible for seniors to keep sharing full, beautiful smiles in their golden years, but a major health benefit as well! And yes, you are…

When you think about a visit to a dental office, there is a good chance one word is going to pop into your head: cavities. While a cavity is perhaps the accurate and descriptive term (they are a literal hole in our tooth’s enamel), the clinical term for this all too common condition is dental…

When we were young, we certainly felt unstoppable didn’t we? Unlimited energy to go running around, scuffed knees weren’t even a secondary thought, and if we took a tumble off of a slide or swing set, we could scramble right back up there! Not to mention our teeth. They’d just grow back, right? If we…

Many people are lucky to only snore when they get congested. For others, snoring is just a part of life. And for the unlucky, the act of “sawing logs” is so loud their partners have started complaining! But for millions of Americans, loud snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea. Snoring: More Than…

Do we need to describe what it is like to slog through the day after a bad night’s rest? We’ve all been there; the grogginess, the aches, and a desperate hope that caffeine can carry us through the day. For some of us, there is a single culprit to blame for the restless nights: sleep…
