𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵.

One of the most common effects is dry mouth.

Saliva does much more than keep your mouth comfortable. It helps wash away food particles, neutralize acids and protect your teeth throughout the day.

When saliva flow decreases, you may notice:

• A dry or sticky feeling
• Difficulty swallowing certain foods
• Frequent thirst
• Changes in taste
• Cracked lips or mouth irritation
• An increase in cavities or sensitivity

𝗗𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. It can change your individual risk for tooth decay and other oral health concerns.

That is why it is important to keep our team updated when your medications change—even when the medication does not seem related to dentistry.

We can look for early signs, discuss practical ways to manage dryness and help create a preventive plan based on your individual needs.

Before the day begins, our team is already reviewing schedules, preparing rooms, discussing questions and making sure each person who walks through our doors feels expected—not rushed through.

There are countless little details patients may never see.

A room prepared thoughtfully.
A question discussed ahead of time.
A familiar voice greeting you by name.
A team member noticing when you need a little extra reassurance.

We are proud of the dentistry we provide, but we are equally proud of the people behind it—the team members who bring skill, kindness and genuine care to this office every day.

We are grateful for them, and for the generations of local families who continue to place their trust in us.

Sometimes, it is not only about how much sugar you have—it is also about how often your teeth are exposed to it.

Each time you sip or snack on something sugary, bacteria in plaque produce acids that can weaken enamel. Slowly drinking a sweetened coffee, soda, juice or sports drink over several hours can repeatedly restart that process.

Your mouth needs time—and saliva—to help neutralize those acids between meals and drinks.

𝗔 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵-𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗵𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗺:

Enjoy sweet foods or drinks with a meal.
Choose water between meals.
Try not to slowly sip sugary drinks throughout the day.

Your toothbrush matters—but so does what happens between brushings.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝘆—𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆?

It is a question we hear often, and the answer is not always that someone needs to brush more.

Cavity risk can also be affected by:

• How frequently you snack or sip throughout the day

• Sports drinks, soda, sweetened coffee or flavored water

• Dry mouth caused by medications or health conditions

• Areas between teeth that a toothbrush cannot reach

• The strength of your enamel

• Your individual oral bacteria and saliva

That is why preventive care is never one-size-fits-all.

At our office, we look beyond the cavity itself. We work to understand the habits, medications and individual risk factors that may be contributing—so we can help protect your natural teeth for as long as possible.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

𝗢𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

It began when Dr. Sam Coppola opened his dental practice above Subway on Mohawk Avenue. In 1972, he built the office at our current location—a place that would eventually care for generations of Scotia families.

Years later, his son, Dr. David Coppola, returned home to work alongside him.

“I was fortunate to be mentored by my father, a dentist of superior clinical skills and impeccable moral standards.”

Those lessons shaped far more than the dentistry practiced here. They created a tradition of treating people honestly, carefully and with the same kindness we would want for our own families.

Today, some of the patients sitting in our chairs first came to see Dr. Sam as children. They later brought their children—and now, in some cases, their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The building has grown through additions in 2014 and 2024. The technology has changed. Dentistry has continued to advance.

But the heart of the practice remains the same:

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.
𝗗𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗿—𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝗿𝗲.

We are deeply grateful to every family who has allowed us to become a small part of their story.

Do you remember visiting Dr. Sam—or the first time your family came to our office? We would love to hear your memories in the comments.

𝗧𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀… 🎓

From preschool graduations to high school seniors, college graduates, trade programs, and every milestone in between — this season is such a meaningful one.

There is something special about watching children grow up in a small community. Many of the smiles we first met years ago are now walking across stages, making plans, chasing goals, and stepping into a brand-new chapter.

To the parents and grandparents who helped get them there: we know these moments carry a lot of emotion. Pride, joy, memories, and maybe a few tears too.

And to the graduates: we are cheering you on.

May this next chapter bring confidence, opportunity, growth, and plenty of reasons to smile.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲!
