Twenty-five years ago, our nation faced unimaginable tragedy. But from the ashes rose something extraordinary unity, courage, and an unbreakable American spirit.

Today, we pause to honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger without hesitation, and every family that carried grief with extraordinary grace.

🇺🇸 We will never forget.

Back-to-school season is the perfect time for a fresh start, including a fresh toothbrush! 🎒✨
If the bristles are frayed or worn, it’s time for a replacement. A fresh toothbrush or brush head helps keep brushing effective and smiles clean and healthy.
Add a new toothbrush to your back-to-school checklist! 🦷📚

🦷 Do I really need to replace a missing tooth?

Even if the gap doesn’t bother you, a missing tooth can affect your oral health. Over time, nearby teeth may shift, your bite can change, and bone loss can occur in the area.
Replacing a missing tooth can help protect your bite, restore function, and keep your smile healthy.

Missing a tooth? Ask us about your replacement options! 🦷✨

❓ FAQ Wednesday: Can a chipped tooth wait until after vacation?

It depends on the size and location of the chip.

A small chip may not be an emergency, but even minor damage can leave a tooth vulnerable to further cracking, sensitivity, or decay. If the chip is causing pain, has a sharp edge, or involves a large portion of the tooth, it's best to have it evaluated as soon as possible.

If you're heading out of town, give our office a call. We can help determine whether you should be seen before your trip and provide recommendations to protect your smile while you're away.
